Al centro della terra

A journey through the testimonies of the millenary Sardinian mining epic, between ghost towns and forgotten mines, with the blue sea in the background. Ancient paths and paths followed for centuries by miners, enormous construction sites that have changed the shapes of the landscape, immersed in the silence of the scrub or in the thick shadow of grandiose forests. The path dedicated to Barbara, the patron saint of miners from all over the world, winds along a ring that has the city of Iglesias, in the south-west of Sardinia, at its centre. A long walking itinerary punctuated by encounters with the memories - at times tragic, at times grandiose - of the civilization born in the island's mines, with the large and small stories of men, women and children who worked and fought, one day after the other, in the stone heart of the mountains. Discovering a journey that is both ancient and modern at the same time which remains in the soul for its spectacular landscapes, unparalleled hospitality and the memory of a centuries-old history.
