No surprises and everything as expected on Easter day, with the designation of the first flags of Ardia 2024 by the parish priest Don Maurizio Demartis after the "S'Incontru" procession , during the solemn mass celebrated in the church of San Giovanni Battista.
As usual, he announced the leaders of the procession in honor of Santu Antinu. Names chosen from the parish register where those who intend to participate in the heartfelt event of faith, which few people from Seda know how to give up, register. Present at the celebration, Mario Meloni will therefore lead the Ardia on horseback on 6 - 7 July , while Salvatore Matta will have the task of commanding the one on foot on the day of the eighth, 14 July .
Meloni, 50 years old, breeder, married and father of two children, boasts great experience in the leading positions of the race given that in two previous editions (2015 and 2016) he had joined as second flag the race leaders Costantino Atzas and Michele Carboni respectively. Sa pandela matzore then decided to be accompanied by second Costantino Atzas and third Michele Carboni , confirming a consolidated personal relationship and harmony on horseback, which could be useful in the most delicate moments of the race.
For the Ardia on foot, Tore Matta, a 43 year old trader, will be joined by the second flag Davide Scarpa and the third Giuseppe Spiga . And while waiting for the official tests which will be held as always on June 29th , the first public display of the three flags will be, as tradition dictates, on the occasion of the feast of Sant'Isidoro on May 15th .
