This morning's Ardia on foot led by the first flag Matteo Marongiu and his assistants Carlo Muscau and Gonario Mameli really lived up to expectations and will surely be remembered as one of the best ever. The leading trio led a perfect run with sa pandela matzore who already descended quickly from su Frontigheddu with agile and sure steps, first overcoming the arch at full speed and then arriving as far as the sanctuary with great confidence.

At the end of the race, beaming and smiling like the other two flags, Marongiu received well-deserved greetings and compliments from the hundreds of participants in the Ardia, a real army of adults and children, who didn't want to miss out on the vote in San Costantino. Like for example the doctor Marco Mocci , who did it for the first time after 17 years of living in Sedilo.

"I'm happy, I've been waiting for this moment for 26 years - Matteo Marongiu said with satisfaction - it seemed to me a beautiful Ardia, with an excellent harmony between flags and escorts". The only regret is the injury to third flag escort Andrea Mameli , who had to stop and be replaced by Daniele Sanna due to the flare-up of an old knee problem.

The Ardia 2023 goes on file with a completely positive balance, thanks to the organizational machine from Seda which once again worked perfectly with all the components that historically organize the great village festival: Parish, knights, Santu Antinu association, municipal administration , riflemen and volunteers association.
