Due to Cyclone Harry and the persistent bad weather conditions that have affected Sardinia in recent days, significant damage has been reported not only to infrastructure, but also to archaeological assets and sites of cultural significance. The most serious report concerns the coastal site of Nora, which, due to its direct exposure to the sea, has suffered extensive damage. The situation is of great concern among both local governments and the operators and professionals involved in the protection and management of the archaeological area.
“Yesterday,” said the Councillor for Cultural Heritage, Ilaria Portas, “after receiving the sad news and reports about what happened in Nora, it was my care to immediately get in touch with the two Superintendencies of our Region in order to activate in the immediate and by the shortest ways a rapid communication. I will be promptly informed of any damage done to our cultural heritage, hoping of course that it will be limited to a few sites. Our sensitivity to the issue is utmost, and I want to reassure everyone and everyone that, in addition to me moving in these hours on the front line, the offices of the department are also engaged. I will also be making an inspection shortly to see the damage for myself.”
