The agreement uniting culture, mobility, and local promotion has been renewed. The Barumini Link, the intermodal transport service that makes it even easier to reach the UNESCO site of Su Nuraxi, the historic Casa Zapata, and the exhibitions at the Giovanni Lilliu Center, will return for summer 2025. It connects the archaeological wonders of Barumini with Sardinia's main train stations. The result of the synergy between the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation, the Regional Directorate of Museums in Sardinia, and Trenitalia, the service represents a virtuous model of interinstitutional collaboration designed to facilitate tourist and cultural flows to a region that still has much to tell—and deserves adequate infrastructure to do so.

"The Barumini Link is a virtuous example of collaboration between institutions at all levels," emphasizes Emanuele Lilliu, president of the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation, "which allows even small towns to stay connected to the world. Barumini has become a hub for archaeology and cultural tourism in Sardinia and beyond, but it still faces challenges in terms of transportation. This is why we believe in initiatives that facilitate accessibility, so that this area can fully express its potential. This is why services like this must be supported and hopefully extended to the mid- and low-season periods as well."

The goal is clear: to simplify access to cultural sites, creating a bridge between inland areas and major cities through streamlined and integrated connections, capable of stimulating sustainable tourism and enhancing a unique heritage like that of the Nuragic complex of Su Nuraxi in Barumini.

"Improving the accessibility of a cultural site is a process that begins with increasing accessibility to these sites via various modes of transportation," emphasizes Valentina Uras, director of the Regional Directorate of Museums of Sardinia. "This is why we warmly welcome the second consecutive year of the Barumini Link initiative, strategically spearheaded by the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation and Trenitalia. This project aims to promote awareness of Su Nuraxi, a cultural heritage site for Sardinia and humanity."
