sardartLeave a comment

The festival of Sant’Efisio takes place every year on 1st May and is a magical celebration of faith and folklore, the sacred and the profane. A festival rich in colours, costumes, tradition ; the long procession: 3500 inhabitants of the island dressed in traditional costumes from every town and village and more than 200 riders on horseback.On the day of the festival people from all over the island gather together in Cagliari to take part in the procession. The event attracts thousands of tourists who are welcomed as privileged spectators of what is probably the island’s most authentic manifestation of popular worship. http://www.sardegnaturismo.it/en/event/festa-di-santefisio-2015Photo © Daniela Serra – All Rights Reserved

Lions of Italy

I follow the story of Adrian Balan on “Lions of Italy” and offer my lion …..Cagliari Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. The church was built in the 13th century in Pisan-Romanesque style. In the 17th and 18th centuries it was renovated along Baroque lines.In the interior, the main attraction is the ambo of Guglielmo, a 12th-century pair of pulpits by one Master Guglielmo, originally sculpted for the cathedral of Pisa. It was taken to Cagliari in 1312 and placed in the nave, near to its third column. In 1669 it was split in two, and the two pulpits placed in their current locations. The four marble lions which supported the ambo are now located at the feet of the presbytery balustrade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagliari_CathedralPhoto © Daniela Serra 2016 – All Rights Reserved
