Candia, the cemetery gate torn up, damages for ten thousand euros

Bitter surprise for the municipal administrators on Monday morning

An unfortunate surprise for the municipal administrators of Candia Canavese who this morning, Monday 8 November, found themselves with the entrance gate of the cemetery, overlooking the provincial road towards the lake, uprooted from the wall that gave way, collapsing for a few meters and which must then be restored. A quantifiable damage in about 10 thousand euros. According to an initial reconstruction, the gate was broken down by a truck, or in any case a heavy vehicle. The mayor Mario Mottino thinks about the maneuver of a truck driver, probably drunk, who, after taking the wrong road, took advantage of the space in front of the gate to maneuver. And then flee immediately afterwards so as not to be reported. But the action of a gang of copper thieves cannot be ruled out, who, to enter the cemetery, has seen fit to break through the gate using the vehicle like a ram. But who then fled for fear of being surprised. Furthermore, some bricks of the wall ended up on one of the earth graves, closest to the entrance.
