The unique setting and breathtaking backdrop of Rena Bianca beach in Santa Teresa Gallura may have inspired unknown graffiti writers to spray-paint sections of its coastal rocks with black geometric patterns. While such works might be considered anonymous art in authorized locations, Sardinian League Party deputy Dario Giagoni denounced the act as environmental vandalism in this legally protected landscape.
Giagoni, who hails from Santa Teresa Gallura, stated: “We have vandals at work who believe themselves artists. What occurred here isn’t street art—which revitalizes degraded walls—but pure vandalism and intolerable environmental defacement.” He emphasized that such acts constitute criminal offenses, noting: “The reckless individual who defaced this landscape-protected area committed at least two crimes carrying serious legal consequences.”
The deputy further questioned whether the perpetrators considered the irreversible damage to fragile ecosystems during cleanup efforts. Giagoni pledged to bring the incident before relevant ministries upon parliament’s return, demanding increased surveillance personnel to prevent repeat offenses.
