Cecilia Mascia blew out her first hundred candles with the same spirit with which she lived every day of her life : with determination, lucidity and a visceral love for Sardinia, which she wants to defend from the invasion of wind turbines.

Born in the heart of Cagliari, in the Villanova district, now resident in Su Planu, Cecilia is not limited to being a witness of Sardinian history : she is a protagonist of the present. And her battle, now, has a precise objective: to stop the energy speculation that risks disfiguring the landscape of the Island with wind turbines.
