Assemini inaugurated its tribute to Grazia Deledda on the centenary of her Nobel Prize, with a mural in the inner garden of the Municipal Library. The work, spanning the two perimeter walls, is part of the TULIS (Protection of Sardinian Languages) project, funded by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, and was created by artist Alessandra Carloni. The mural evokes Deledda's entire repertoire with dreamlike, symbolic, and narrative overtones, especially "Canne al vento" (Reeds in the Wind). It is completed with a phrase translated into Sardinian by the city's language service under the supervision of Duilio Caocci, professor at the University of Cagliari.
Carloni, a nationally renowned muralist, emphasizes: "I have interpreted Grazia Deledda's world with my own style: I guide those who view the work to discover her world, her words, her stories, the breath of the wind, and the path of freedom that characterized her." Sergio Nuvoli, Councilor for Culture, adds: "Three months ago, I said that Assemini could be a capital of art, especially street art. Today, with Alessandra Carloni, I confirm this, and on the third anniversary of the passing of Davide Pils, who pointed the way and left his mark. Art improves the world; in beautiful places, we live, study, and work better."
Mayor Mario Puddu finally stated: "This could become a multipurpose outdoor space, including a reading room, allowing visitors to enjoy the beauty of art that evokes our Grazia Deledda."
