Pesaro, September 1, 2026 – When you see your own name and surname sprayed on the umbrellas with all kinds of epithets behind it, the situation is not cheerful. Or seeing drunk boys ‘dancing’ on the roofs of the cabins, as shown in the early morning images by Tg1, and then also Rai News 24, the situation is serious. Because your own safety is at stake “so much so that I told the staff not to intervene,” says a witness of Sunday’s wild night: 250 unleashed boys, many completely drunk, who went on until almost dawn.
“And do you know what is the most striking thing? — said Giunta dei bagni Giuseppe, next to the Excelsior — That the wildest are the girls.” Damage to equipment worth many thousands of euros, fear for one’s safety, and also a far from positive publicity for the city, which comes out of the TV reports like a kind of Bronx.
The lifeguards’ account on TV
And for the series ‘put the monster on the front page’, yesterday a Rai crew heard the opinion of some lifeguards led by Andrea Ranocchi of “Marevivo”, bringing to light all the problems the city suffered during the two days of the Ferragosto weekend due to the lack of water.
Not two nice postcards of Pesaro between bad nightlife and broken water, the latter issue not being shelved. Via Nazario Sauro is not the first time it has come under fire, so much so that some concessionaires, precisely to avoid devastation, have hired private security guards to watch over the beach and some even sleep at night in the huts in order to intervene quickly.
The number of tourists has increased
It should be added however that there is also another side to this ‘hot’ summer. That is, after the high season period ended, precisely with the Ferragosto weekend, the number of tourists has increased. This is also due to the drop in hotel room prices. “More people in the city even compared to the Rof period and in the evening when you walk through the center you also meet several foreigners,” is the general feeling of those working not only in hospitality but also in the restaurant sector.
Acts of vandalism
Anyway, the problems on the ground remain and are those experienced by a large part of the seaside area on Sunday night with broken bottles in the street, damage to equipment, completely gratuitous and in some ways incomprehensible vandalism. Not only in the seaside area but also in the city center.
“The real problem is that there is no longer any fear or respect for the uniforms. But this is not a problem that concerns only Pesaro because it is widespread in many other Italian cities,” say the operators. Anyway, ‘put the monster on the front page’ was a Rossinian crescendo: just turn on the television.
