Who said that culture isn't attractive on summer Sundays? It's exactly the opposite. It will have been the possibility of free admission (like every first Sunday of the month) it will be the presence of a national exhibition of high caliber, the fact is that over two hundred visitors crowded the "Sanna" Museum of Sassari in the morning.

A part is closed for restyling works, but the Clemente pavilion hosts the national exhibition “The shape of gold. Stories of jewels from ancient Italy” curated by Massimo Osanna and Luana Toniolo. 400 pieces from the museums of Campania, Calabria, Molise, Marche, Puglia, Basilicata, Sardinia and from the archaeological park of Pompeii.

The exhibition, which can be visited until 1 December, covers the history of jewelery from the 4th millennium BC up to the early Middle Ages. There really is everything: from the very first jewels made with bones, shells or lava stones, to the finest workmanship in gold and other stones from the Middle Ages. Even a piece of fresco has arrived from the Archaeological Park of Pompeii which portrays a girl with gold jewels and sports two polychrome wings.

Among the visitors there were also some tourists, demonstrating that Sassari has its cards to play to attract holidaymakers even if they arrive in Northern Sardinia above all for the sea.
