In the 1988 the coast was invested by another sea storm similar to that one endured in 1954: gale force up to 9 degrees with strong wind squalls.

The air was therefore so full of salt water fog that the photos came faded.

The reinforcing works carried out after the sea storm of 1954 gave their fruits:  removal of tiles, gutters, lamp posts, lights, flares, buoys, broken off windows and layers of salt everywhere was the damages on the mainland.

The defence works executed by the sea, but some yielding to the pier, substantially held.

The largest damages resulted inside the port: more than fifty were the boats that,  broken the moorings, sunk in its waters.

In the following days in the port waters a strange fishing happened: the men tried to recover from the sea bed with hooks, double hooks, kedgeanchors, sailor swears, oaths, curses and prayers, the motors and the heavy equipments that were on board at the moment of the shipwreck.
