To say that Sardinia is a magical island sounds like the usual cliché. In reality, everything here is imbued with a thousand-year-old culture. More or less hidden, it has come down to us and survives in superstitious rites, folklore, customs and solemn rituals to which the community is very attached.

If you visit this island, you will find many objects in its handicraft shops, the significance of which you will only understand from reading this article. Typical jewellery, knives and costumes derive from an ancient, sometimes ancient tradition, which often merges with the magic that comes alive in popular festivals. That is why a Sardinian handicraft is not just an object: because it has a fascinating story to tell and a symbolism all its own.
