«An important day for Sardinian culture - says the mayor of Silanus, Gian Pietro Arca - with an initiative that has a dual objective: to enhance the Sardinian language and improvised Sardinian singing as a privileged instrument for conveying culture and, at the same time, to pass on to the new generations the art of poetry in Bolu, involving them in useful activities to preserve and enhance it».

The head teacher of the high school, Professor Gavina Cappai, was satisfied: «This event requires us to welcome other initiatives of this kind».

An important day realized as part of an ambitious program of promotion and enhancement of the Sardinian language and improvised singing in rhyme.
