A journey sailing in a sea of emerald, between small and large coves with white sand: this is Sardinia, an island that amazes the visitor for its natural contrasts, lights and colors, a country of ancient traditions, surrounded by wild and unspoilt nature.
The sea reigns supreme with its colors and creeps into the winding coves, along the coasts and beaches, in the most popular places. The Costa Smeralda with its pearl, Porto Cervo, is an example.
Those who prefer the mountains to the sea can go to discover of Gennargentu, the largest mountain complex in Sardinia, with its pictorial scenery where nature occupies a prominent place: here are very rich  flora and fauna, with its mouflons, golden eagles, sardinian deer and various species now on the verge of extinction.
Among its wonders, Sardinia offers visitors the Nuragic complexes scattered throughout the territory, unique monuments in the world that testify an ancient and still partly mysterious culture that goes from the XV to the VI century BC. The Nuraghi - built with large blocks of stone - developed around a central tower in the shape of a truncated cone which conveys a feeling of solidity and power. These are archaeological sites where you can still see the signs of ancient rituals and domestic life with an archaic charm. Among many, the Barumini complex in  Medio Campidano is heritage UNESCO.

"A naked amber jewel that opens suddenly, rose-like, deep in the wide bay". (D.H. Lawrence)
Thus, in the 1920s, the English novelist D.H. Lawrence describes Cagliari, a city of sun, stone and sea.
Since then, the island's capital has only partially changed its appearance, keeping its ancient heart intact alongside the new and modern neighborhoods that have surrounded it since the post-war period.
Placed in a privileged position for the presence of the sea, hills and ponds, Cagliari is the result of a pluri-millennial history that has left marks and traces throughout its territory; more or less visible signs and traces, more or less immediate, but in any case all evidence of the presence of the men who have alternated here.
In fact, there are many peoples who passed or remained in Cagliari: Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Pisans, Genoese, Aragonese and Catalans, Spaniards, Austrians, Piedmontese.
Everyone left something, which today we can trace in the buildings, in the streets, in the precious works of art preserved in churches and museums, in names, habits, in language.
