INSPIRATION<\/h4>\n

Dome of the Beata Vergine Assunta Sanctuary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A real cyclist, the Sardinian champion Paolo Massenti<\/strong>, President of the Bike Tour 4 Mori association, comes to pick me up in Segariu<\/a> and escort me for a few, slow kilometers uphill. Direction, the dome of the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine Assunta<\/strong>, visible from all over the district, in the center of Guasila<\/strong>, in the neoclassical style of 1852, designed by Gaetano Cima, next to the Rector’s Palace<\/strong> and the small church of the Rosario.<\/p>\n

The mayor Paola and the municipal administrators welcome me as if they have known me for a lifetime, and take me to see the imaginary Fraus<\/strong> of Giulio Angioni<\/strong>‘s novels, the churches, Santa Lucia<\/strong> of the sixteenth century, the historic houses, the Raimondo Scintu Museum<\/strong>, gold medal to military value in the First World War, the literary ‘ clouds’<\/strong> scattered around the walls of the town, pills of wisdom for the community.<\/p>\n

Then we visit the Scrinia Sacra sacred art museum<\/strong>, in the former municipal building from 1857. Here you will find important silverware forged by Giovanni Mameli and the stauroteca<\/em>, the precious reliquary containing the “Spina Christi”. They tell me about Sa cassa de s\u2019acchixedd<\/strong><\/em>a, the hunting of the little calf, and the nine neighborhood palio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With Riccardo Pittau at the Is Concas domus de janas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a colossal lunch I am in the company of Paolo who kindly hosts me and the trumpet player Riccardo Pittau<\/strong>, an excellent musician. Close to the Is Concas domus de janas<\/strong> we duet on the rocks and then, in the light of the sunset, outside the country church of the Madonna d\u2019Itria<\/strong>. From the lookout of Genn\u2019e Sobi<\/strong> we observe the sun setting behind the mountains and the night falling over the fields of the Trexenta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
