A "Sardinian leg" for the trio Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo

Who does not remember the wooden leg from the film "Three men and one leg" by Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo? The sculpture, a symbol around which the story unfolds, was reproduced by a Sardinian craftsman who, amid a thousand vicissitudes, finally managed to deliver it to Giacomo Poretti of the comic trio.

Gabriele Mura, from Samugheo , made it with the wood of the pink poplar of Madrolisai and engraved the decorations of the Sardinian tradition on the object. He also added a blue ribbon, to recall the dress of his country.

The meeting was the crowning of a dream for Mura, who has a carpentry shop: "A more unique than rare opportunity to have met Giacomo, a splendid person in all respects - writes the young craftsman on social networks - who warmly welcomed."

But apparently the "garpez" (i.e. the reproduction of the leg) is an object in great demand.
