The evening dedicated to the “Premio Monte Arci” was held last Saturday at the Ceas headquarters in Morgongiori. An initiative promoted by the Management Consortium of the park of the same name, chaired by the mayor of the homeland of the lorighittas, Paolo Pistis. Great satisfaction on the part of the promoters. The event organized with the contribution of the Fondazione di Sardegna and in collaboration with the Municipality of Morgongiori wanted to award 16 personalities of national and international importance, most of them from the Province of Oristano.

"A festival focused on the sounds, knowledge and flavours of the park and obsidian - explains the president of the Park, Paolo Pistis - which intends to enhance a territory of immense environmental beauty and extraordinary potential. We are happy with the result because the large hall of the Ceas Monte Arci was not enough to contain all the public who came to applaud the extraordinary excellences chosen for this first edition: the celebrations began with the special mention Lorighittas d'Oro awarded to a non-Sardinian personality of international fame who can promote our famous handmade pasta beyond the Tyrrhenian Sea and throughout the world thanks to the prestige of his activity. The first in history was awarded to the world-famous Italian-English singer Mal dei Primitives - continues Pistis - who dedicated the only Sardinian stop of his international tour to Morgongiori on the occasion of his 80th birthday".

Special prizes also went to two sports excellences: Cagliari Calcio for the extraordinary creation of the shirt inspired by Pau obsidian, in the Monte Arci Park, and to the carabiniere Stefano Oppo, from Oristano, world champion rower and silver medalist at the Paris Olympics. Many people and companies received the award in the three categories: sounds, knowledge and flavours. In the "Sounds" section, the guitarist Andrea Cutri, from Cabras, the pianist Cinzia Casu from Oristano, for her decisive contribution to the birth of the Civic Schools of Music in Sardinia and to the Polyphonic Choir "Santa Cecilia" from Arborea.
