INSPIRATION<\/h4>\n

No much time left for my arrival. The days are getting shorter, mental fatigue is at its peak and the musical inspiration is silent, a frightening silence.<\/p>\n

At the church of San Pietro, in the centre of Ortacesus<\/strong>, I meet Mr. Pino, who takes me to the Museo del Grano<\/strong>, the wheat museum in a beautiful old house with a large courtyard overlooked by all the rooms. Here I follow the exhibitions that tell the story of wheat, its types and processing. There are also rooms with mole, looms, one dedicated to the master of launeddas Dionigi Burranca, a native of Samatzai who lived here for a long time. Outside, a beautiful display of tools and plows.<\/p>\n

Deputy Mayor Katiuscia joins me by bicycle and we cycle to what remains of the church of San Bartolomeo<\/strong>, which has collapsed but is covered by a wooden structure and with the altar area still intact.<\/p>\n

Then we go out of town, crossing the fields, at times interrupted by unusual and harsh granite outcrops, the corongius<\/strong><\/em>, until we reach the Punic and Roman necropolis of Mitza de Siddi<\/strong>. Here there are hundreds of burials of various types, some of which can be visited<\/p>\n

Upon returning, we skirt the village sports complex, the Trexenta<\/strong> livestock center, and in addition to the cow farms, behind a fence, more unusual animals strike my attention: ostriches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
