A reportage from a rude and mysterious land, populated with legends. A dimension that intoxicates walkers drunk with solitude. There are one and many Barbagia. Even its neighbor Ogliastra, where we have crossed the border, is marked by ever-changing naturalistic, anthropological and cultural facets. Holm oak and juniper forests, hairless canyons crossed by crystalline waters, underground labyrinths that flow into the blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea, villages covered in murals, karst peaks, dreamlike roads reveal a wild and ancestral landscape. We met artists, shepherds, singers, blacksmiths, morra players, speleologists. The nuraghi and the giants' tombs reveal the past of a people that has never been dominated.
