Traditions

The isolated geographical position and a unique history that has been separated from the continental events for a long time, have left as an inheritance very antique traditions referable to cultural contexts which apparently refer to Neolithic agricultural and pastoral civilization. In particular in the Sardinian central eastern mountain area the “costante resistenziale (constant resistance)” according to the happy expression of Prof. Giovanni Lilliu, father of the modern Sardic archaeology, has represented through the centuries, in various forms, the attachment to intern values of the village communities, both under the moral and ethic aspect, and in the external display that is linked to the expressions of life, to the anniversaries and festivities, to the language, to the poetry, to the stories passed down by word of mouth, to the singing and dancing, to the cooking traditions and the particular events like carnival.
