« The author of the gesture must be a man and introduce himself. If nothing else, it saves his honor, that of his family and that of the community ."

Like all the citizens , the mayor of Lula, Mario Calia , is shocked and launches an appeal to those responsible for the bloody event that stained the Cortes Apertas festival during the night.

«Closeness and solidarity with Nico's family. These gestures throw away all the work done and do us no honor ", he declares, also referring to the fact that the country was chosen by Italy to host the Einstein Telescope.

On the investigation front, it is now established that the shots were fired from multiple weapons , the carabinieri of Lula and Bitti's company have in fact found different shell casings on the ground. It is yet to be clarified what weapons these are, but the police are currently collecting testimony from those who were on site at the time of the shooting.

The conditions of Nico Piras, the 43-year-old farmer who was injured, are still critical : the blows hit him in the abdomen and compromised several organs, he is fighting between life and death in intensive care after having been operated on in the surgery department of Saint Francis of Nuoro.

Piras is currently on trial for the murder of his brother Angelo Maria, killed in 2015 perhaps due to inheritance issues : acquitted in the first instance, he was sentenced to 24 years on appeal but the Supreme Court canceled the sentence and ordered a new trial. Another bloody event marked Piras' life: in 1986 his father was killed, right in front of his brother Angelo Maria, who was only eleven years old at the time.
