For the Municipality under special administration, presenting the candidacy would be "inappropriate". Thus Nuoro withdraws from the race for the Italian capital of culture 2027.

The decision was made by the director of the tourism and culture sector, Roberto Del Rio, who in today's - Friday - determination 3195 states that "from a careful analysis of the circumstances and the observation that to date no municipality under commissioner management has ever participated in the tender for the awarding of the title of "Italian Capital of Culture", has led the municipal administration to establish the inappropriateness of the City's candidacy for this title".

After Nuoro's attempt in 2020, with the Ministry's tender that was won by Parma but with the Barbagia capital that arrived in the top ten, the new candidacy was decided by the municipal council led by Andrea Soddu last December, entrusting the drafting of the Dossier to the Poliste srl company of Cagliari, with a contract of over 48 thousand euros in five phases.

Now, after the dissolution of the city council, comes the decision of the manager to abandon the candidacy, paying Poliste 18 thousand euros for the services performed so far, in addition to 3,960 euros of VAT.

Looking at the glass half full, the administration saved almost 27 thousand euros.
