Appointment this evening at 19:30 in Porto Cervo , in Sottopiazza, with the presentation of “Buongiorno SarDegna” , a book by the entrepreneur and editor of L'Unione Sarda Sergio Zuncheddu .

«Past, present and future of an island with a thousand resources , often impoverished or never used. The events of Sardinia told with wit and narrative ability offer a scenario that plumbs the depths of the vices and virtues of a people that could be the protagonist of its own history»: these are the main themes of the visionary and documented publication, which will be illustrated by the moderator Enrico Pilia , deputy editor of sports reports and author of L'Unione Sarda.

The original structure of the text, which alternates a fictional cut with elements of rigorous essay writing, places the emphasis, in particular, on the narrative expedient used by the author.

The history of Sardinia is, in fact, told by an iconic figure of the island's tradition: grandfather "Babay", a wise old and solemn patriarch, who with extreme dignity and, at times, with disenchanted bitterness portrays, from the Nuragic era to the present day, greatness and vicissitudes of the Sardinian people.

The work also contains an impressive amount of data regarding the island that Sergio Zuncheddu collects and rattles off, photographing a merciless image of the prosaic socio-economic condition of Sardinia. Numbers imprinted like a stigma on the skin of the Sardinians but also possible areas to be exploited to generate development and arrive at the definitive liberation from the economic dependence of the island.

The appointment is organized as part of the Porto Cervo Libri review.
