What is the border between reality and myth in our Mediterranean? Which stories and narratives, more or less true, have come down to us from the past so as to mark our present? Which heroes, idols, deities have influenced our events in this corner of the world? These are the questions surrounding the Sardinia Archeo Festival, an archeology (and not only) popular event conceived and organized by the Itzokor association, now in its fifth edition.

The Festival will be in Cagliari, in the spaces of the Ghetto in via Santa Croce, between Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June with a reflection on the "imagined Mediterranean": "For centuries thinkers, philosophers, travelers and explorers, poets, men of letters, sailors and sailors have tried to explain what the Mediterranean is, showing how blurred the boundary can be between what is imagined and what is real. Through the contributions of the guests we will try to understand how much of that imagined Mediterranean there may be in the real one and how much of that imagination has come down to us, perhaps adapting to the times and changing, just as the human communities that have always animated it change he lived".
