Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Local governance in Sardinia has focused on public asset management and infrastructure development. In Gravina, the municipal council faced internal criticism regarding the transfer of the Graviglione quarry through private negotiation rather than public auction. In San Gavino Monreale, authorities have prioritized urban renewal and utility expansion. The town secured regional funding to renovate the historic ex-Municipio building into a cultural center. Additionally, the municipality is proceeding with an expansion of the inter-municipal eco-center to improve waste disposal capabilities. However, the expansion of municipal projects has met local resistance. A civic campaign, ‘Il Capannone x tutti’, has emerged to protest the proposed ‘Casa del Carnevale’ project, which seeks to repurpose a multipurpose warehouse. Residents are advocating for the preservation of the facility as a sports venue and Civil Protection emergency shelter. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-18: San Gavino Monreale advances eco-center expansion amid civic protests San Gavino Monreale is progressing with an eco-center expansion to improve waste management, while citizens launch a protest against repurposing a multipurpose warehouse for a new Carnival House. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/san-gavino-monreale-advances-eco-center-expansion-amid-civic-protests ### 2026-07-30: Sardinian towns approve quarry sale and fund ex‑Municipio renovation Gravina council denounces private sale of Graviglione quarry, while San Gavino Monreale obtains €952,500 to refurbish its ex‑Municipio into a cultural centre. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sardinian-towns-approve-quarry-sale-and-fund-exmunicipio-renovation --- Cite as: Local governance and infrastructure in Sardinia.
