Hammer and iron pipe used as a chisel. Stefano Serra could not believe his ears this morning when he climbed on the rocks that separate the beach of Porto Giunco from the inlet sheltered from the mistral wind of Serr'e Morus , in Villasimius : «A tourist was making holes in the rock to plant his umbrella» .

The manager was told to immediately remove the umbrella. He performed. But in all probability he will avoid far worse consequences than a reprimand: " I was assured that the Coast Guard would be called," adds Serra, who is a consultant by profession, "but I stayed there for an hour and no one came. The lifeguards told me they would take care of it».

However, no patrol boat appeared on the horizon.
