Diesel fuel is expensive, with prices in Sardinia approaching 2.20 euros per litre.

Gasoline is also nearing 2 euros. The government is considering measures to reduce costs.

the ranking

Sport and quality of life, the island is not shining: Cagliari is in 22nd place, Southern Sardinia is at the bottom.

The PTS-Sole 24 Ore rankings have been published. The capital city drops twelve places (but is first in Southern Italy). Other provinces fare poorly.

Humid and sultry weather in coastal areas and cities, the lack of rainfall raises the alert level against fires

The fire

Sinnai-San Gregorio, the mayor: "We're deeply moved, but we thank those who put out the flames."

Meanwhile, the minority is calling for greater telephone coverage in the area: "The intermittently absent cellular network has significantly complicated the firefighting team's response."

The fire

Fire in Sorso: a tool shed in the courtyard of a house erupts in flames.

The alarm was raised in Via Carlo Pisacane, with the thick cloud of smoke rising into the sky attracting the attention of the firefighters.

the emergency

Two-meter-high waves in Porto Ferro: a tourist, his nephew, and three young people from Sassari were rescued from the sea.

The intervention of the lifeguards and the collaboration of Areus and the Porto Torres Coast Guard were crucial.

Mourning

Farewell to Professor Runchina, Latin and Greek scholar: he introduced generations of students to the "classics."

He was 88 years old and trained many young people at the University of Cagliari.

the crash

Quartu, another accident on Viale Marconi: a collision in front of the raised pedestrian crossing.

the fire

Sinnai-San Gregorio, the fire was started deliberately: two ignition points were found along the Vecchia Orientale highway.

The flames were tamed at dawn, but work continues on some dangerous fires: only then will it be possible to count the damage, which is significant even if limited by the mobilization of the fire-fighting machine and volunteers.
