INSPIRATION<\/h4>\n

Mayor Enrico and Deputy Mayor Andrea welcome me to the village of Dionigi Burranca<\/strong>, the last representative of the launeddas school in Trexenta. I am taken around the territory. After passing the Italcementi quarries, we arrive at the white Su Nuraxi<\/strong>, a limestone nuraghe, where strange circular incisions on the stone create an aura of mystery.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in the countryside is the Perd\u2019e campana<\/strong>, two mobile rocks that banging together sound like a natural bell tower. Then there is Sa boccia ‘e Ferranti<\/strong>, a spherical rock with different cupels on the surface and a semicircular cut at the base. Not far from these mysterious stones, reeds were collected for the construction of launeddas<\/strong>, who knows for how many centuries.<\/p>\n

Mario from the Proloco takes me on a tour of the village centre. I can admire the baronial palace of the Marchesa Darcais<\/strong>, the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, the Monte Granatico next to another noble palace, and then many mud brick houses<\/strong>, many of which empty, and some close to collapse.<\/p>\n

Around the church of Santa Barbara<\/strong> there was once a cemetery but now only roads built on it remain. In a Campidanese house with a large courtyard there is the blacksmith museum, Sa Domu De Su Ferreri Farris<\/strong>, while in some places nativity scenes are prepared for the upcoming Christmas, one for each neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

After dinner they organised some music in the rehearsal room, rock atmosphere, together with the musicians Andrea, Gabriele, Diego and Fabio. I am now very tired but I release as much energy as possible on the ukulele, also tired from the kilometers traveled!<\/p>\n
