It is precisely in the final photo where the State exercises the right of first refusal on the island of Gallinara, in the Ligurian Riviera di Ponente, opposite the municipality of Albenga to which it belongs and in Alassio (Savona). The official status is missing, but the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, led by Dario Franceschini, has decided to intervene in the most significant part of the sale, exercising the right of first refusal over a part of the island, where the great historic manor house is located. and other buildings. Aim to make them public to open to visitors.
Stop Ukrainian tycoon Olexandr Boguslayev
The state wants to stop the real estate operation on the turtle-shaped island of Ukrainian tycoon Olexandr Boguslayev, 42, a Monte Carlo resident but with Grenada citizenship, son of the president of Motor Sich, a long-time Russian aviation provider.
The two sections of the operation
The operation, for a total amount of 25 million euros, was divided into two tranches. The tycoon had bought the shares of the company that owns the lower part of the island at the beginning of August for 10 million euros and had bought the properties from the owners for 15 million euros. On this second part, the State has decided to exercise preference. The state purchase leaves the Russian tycoon only the wildest part of the island, in fact unusable due to environmental and landscape limitations and very expensive maintenance.
The island takes its name from the wild chickens
The history of the island, which takes its name from the wild chickens that inhabited it in ancient times, according to Cato and Varro, is linked to changes of hands that have spanned centuries. It was the refuge of Saint Martin de Tours towards the end of the 4th century and the seat of a monastery, but it was also the center of commercial traffic with France, as evidenced by shipwrecks at sea. After the Saracen invasions of the 9th and 10th centuries, the monastic building was rebuilt by the Benedictines. Owned by the Church until 1842, the island was later sold to private individuals brought together in a limited liability company owned by 9 Ligurian and Piedmontese families.
The operation of the Ukrainian tycoon
On June 17, the transfer of ownership to a Monte Carlo company linked to the Ukrainian tycoon. The island, 1.5 kilometers from the coast, has been a nature reserve since 1989. The news of the purchase by the Russian magnate was released in early August. And Minister Franceschini said he was in favor of evaluating the exercise of the right of first refusal. The vice president of the justice commission in the Sala Franco Vazio then reiterated the minister’s interest: “The island of Gallinara must become a public asset, to be protected and preserved, and above all it must be accessible to all, because it is a heritage of our our community “.
