◉ TRIBUNE T4 · FACING CITY HALL
The Tribute Moment
Tribune 4 is the iconic spot of the May 1st morning. When the carriage stops in front of the City Hall on Via Roma, simultaneously:
- 🔔 Every church bell in Cagliari rings out
- 🚢 Ship sirens in the harbour wail in unison
- 🎺 The band plays the hymn
- 👥 The crowd on Via Roma applauds continuously
It is the most emotionally dense moment of the May 1st procession. The Deputy Mayor or the Mayor in person pays homage to the Saint from the Palace.
