Cows graze at night, Italian farmer fined for "disturbing public peace"

In the mountain village of Lorsica, inland from Genoa, an unusual story has turned media attention to a small community of only 375 inhabitants.

In this quiet area, known for its forests, chestnuts and tales of partisan resistance, a clash between a 77-year-old farmer and other residents has sparked debate.

Corrado Cavagnaro, a resident of the Costafinale fraction, was fined 75 euros last week (after a penalty was added) for “disturbing the public peace.” The reason? His cows graze at night and cause noise with their lowing and bells. The fine was communicated to him by the carabinieri directly on his land.

"I've been taking the animals out at night since I was a child. The coolness, the freedom, is good for them, and the milk is better when I milk them in the evening," explains Cavagnaro, quoted by La Repubblica. But for nearby residents, this is a nuisance: the cows appear near their homes in the late hours and the noise wakes them up from their sleep.

The mayor, Alessandro Graziadelli, says the issue has brought “excessive popularity” to the area, while he himself faces bigger challenges like landslides and climate emergencies. “Our territory has 23 landslides and I have to deal with two cows that won’t fit in the barn?” he protests.

Meanwhile, Cavagnaro is not giving up: "If they fine me again, I'll take the cows to the Colosseum!" he says ironically, defending his traditional lifestyle. He recalls that once there were 500 animals in Lorsica, while today there are barely 30. "If they want a village without a village, let them say so," he adds, warning that he will continue to live with his cows, even in the meadows away from the eyes of the authorities.
