Cable laying began on September 11th . On the morning of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers, a tragedy that forever changed the course of the world, a vessel began laying the large pipe that will carry Sardinian energy directly to Sicily and, from there, to Campania. It can therefore be said that the Tyrrhenian Link project has entered its full phase , with all the difficulties and controversies that have accompanied it thus far.

The main construction site, at Terra Mala, looks like a war trench : pipes of all types and sizes, gigantic drills, special machinery are placed where there was a beach before the excavation, and – once the work is concluded, in 2028 – a primary cabin should come into operation.

But—strangely enough—the early hubbub, when the €3.7 billion plan was about to be built on the Terra Mala construction site by the sea, without any urban planning issues due to the project's stated public utility, has now been replaced by silence. The road, at the entrance to the coastal village of Quartu, is blocked on one side by the work Terna is carrying out to bury the Tyrrhenian Link. A straight stretch of just a few dozen meters, with no danger of getting distracted, and then the construction site that so angered activists and committees appears: "We don't want that cable."
