San Giorgio La Molara – A construction site for sewer redevelopment work, found to be without authorization, was placed under preventive seizure by the Forestry Carabinieri of the San Marco dei Cavoti Unit.
Article Key Points
The intervention, carried out in collaboration with the Archaeological Superintendency of Benevento and Caserta, concerned an area located in the Piano d'Arco area, along the royal sheep track “Pescasseroli-Candela”.
The operation was triggered after a report reached the Operations Center. Subsequent checks confirmed the absence of permits from the Superintendency, despite the fact that the works involved an area of 450 meters long and 5 meters wide, subject to landscape and historical constraints.
The seizure, already validated by the Court of Benevento, was ordered for violation of the rules on cultural and environmental heritage, with the hypothesis of crimes related to the destruction or defacement of natural beauty and the execution of illegal works. Three people, considered responsible for the project, have been reported to the Judicial Authority.
The value of the Tratturo Regio
The “Pescasseroli-Candela” sheep track, an ancient transhumance route, is a protected asset, and any intervention must be authorized to avoid damaging it. Illegal building in areas of historical and environmental value remains a front of constant attention by the police and the bodies responsible for protection. Investigations are still underway to verify any further responsibilities.

The article talks about a construction site that did not have permits and this is very worrying because the protection of cultural heritage is fundamental. I hope that the authorities continue to make checks to avoid similar abuses in the future.
