On November 15th, a bench and a granite fountain were damaged right in front of church Sant'Ambrogio in Buddusò. This act of vandalism, right in front of the church, led to an outrage across the entire town.

"I do not know if they are children or adults, I know how to quantify the damage economically, I know that I am sorry and I feel hurt by the gesture - commented the parish priest of the village, Don Angelo Malduca.
