Oristano, decay in the cathedral square

You can even read love phrases complete with telephone numbers and red hearts: real dedications between lovers. And then many symbols that perhaps only young people know the meaning of. Finding a free space without writing is truly impossible. Where? In the square of the city's Cathedral, in via Duomo: total degradation reigns in the beating heart of Oristano , a very ugly postcard to see.

Just take a walk to understand how the area has been reduced. The writings made with spray cans appear in every corner : on the external walls of the church, on the black benches, in the flower boxes and on the walls.

Someone also had fun defacing the fountains and the pole that supports the barrier to enter the church square by car. There are those who didn't even have respect for the wooden door where the priests enter .

But there's more: the sign with all the information on the cathedral installed along Via Duomo was first messed up and then torn down. A sad image in the historic center of the city, especially now that so many people will arrive in Oristano on the occasion of the Sartiglia.

Fortunately, however, on those days there will be stands that will welcome the public to hide the degradation. But then everything will be back on display, in one of the areas most frequented by young people, both in the evening but also at the end of the morning, after school.

There are many kids who stop in the square before getting on the buses.
