The Pompeii sardines. The island's archaeological sites and the dangers of degradation: the journey begins from the ancient port Torres.Gli decumani old Nora is paved with good intentions. Why all words are concerned about the state faced by the "Pompeii of Sardinia. Meanwhile, the temple of Aesculapius is still supported in a vacuum. And the cape that extends to the end of the Triumphal Arch Street continues to crumble. A little 'further west, the mayor of Sant'Antioco Corongiu Mario is furious with the government. "Without the funds for the works of consolidation - thunder - the necropolis can be visited." But if Sulki cries Tharros not laugh. So Porto Torres with his treasures.
