Fire this morning inside the disused building of the old Gallisai mill , in the municipality of Nuoro .

The flames broke out among old furniture and household goods . No trigger was found but the dynamics appeared clear to the firefighters who intervened: the flames can only have been set since the building has no electrical systems inside, it is not inhabited and there is no activity in progress. . At the origin of the stake perhaps the launch of a firecracker or a cigarette butt.

The damage caused has yet to be quantified .

The building of the old mill is intended for a renovation to be used as university classrooms.

The carabinieri investigate the matter. A municipal police patrol is also on site.

After the 1991 fire. which caused the partial collapse of the structure, today another fire destroyed part of our historical memory - underlines the mayor - I want to thank the fire brigade teams and the police, who managed to avoid even more extensive damage . What happened today pushes us to accelerate further for the realization of our idea that will revive the Mill, a symbolic building of the city, as the seat of the Nuorese University ".
