INSPIRATION<\/h4>\n

San Sperate Paese Museo (Museum Village)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I cycle now tired through this very fertile territory, rich in citrus groves<\/strong>, where once the water and mud were the only elements present. Once arrived in San Sperate,<\/strong> Lucia, Manuela and Daniele from the No Arte association<\/strong> welcome me and will take care of me throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Despite the cold and humid day, with a few splashes of rain, Daniele takes me around this “museum village<\/strong>” which over the years has seen the transit of artists from all over the world, many of whom have also, in addition to local artists, they leave an important mark between the houses.<\/p>\n

Rio Concias, painted riverbed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Piazza Gramsci<\/strong> is a sort of central junction of the village, next to which the Rio Concias<\/strong> flows before flowing into the Rio Mannu. Partly underground and partly open, the concrete bed of this gully was completely painted by school children, a sign of how much mural art has permeated the whole community.<\/p>\n

Not far from Piazza Gramsci is the Megalithic Garden<\/strong>, full of stone sculptures but not only. A metal monument commemorates the beginning of the youth artistic movement, initiated by Pinuccio Sciola<\/strong> in the late 1960s. Various artists were invited to enrich the walls of the village with works of art. Among the murals, I observe one by a German artist, made in 1969. This period is well documented by the photos of Nanni Pes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
