Carbonia and the nuraghe Sirai in the field for "Io apro all'Unesco"

With the Nuraghe Sirai and its artisan buildings, which for twenty years has been subjected to precious excavation campaigns that could take off again this summer, Carbonia also rightfully enters the list of the most important nuragic realities in Sardinia. From this morning the city of coal carves out the space it deserves thanks to the photographic exhibition "I open to Unesco", organized by the association "Sardinia towards Unesco", with the collaboration of the municipal administration.

The traveling exhibition has been set up in the library where forty panels depicting the main different Nuragic sites are exhibited. The role of Carbonia and Sulcis, recalled by the mayor Pietro Morittu and the president of the association Pierpaolo Vargiu, was highlighted in particular by the intervention of the archaeologist Nicola Dessì. The association is working with the aim of proposing the candidacy of all the nuragic monuments to the Unesco Heritage and in this sense Carbonia, with its freshly studied nuraghe, is contributing to the cause thanks to sensational discoveries every year, such as for example, the presence of rooms annexed to the tower used 3000 years between artisan workshops. The mayor Morittu and the president of the Vargiu association invited the sulcitan mayors to share "forms of collaboration, in order to multiply the positive effects on the economy and cultural growth of the area".

The exhibition is open until March 10 from 8.30 to 12.30 and from 16 to 19. Thursday 10 will be held a meeting with the archaeologist Nicola Dessì.
