The island's past enchants the Sardinian Club of Geneva: the conference "At the center of the Mediterranean, Sardinia from prehistory to history", conducted by the archaeologist Franco Campus, catalyzed attention on a fascinating and multi-faceted theme: the The evolution of Sardinia through the centuries and millennia. Samuele Caboi, secretary of the Sardinian Club of Geneva, tells how the conference on the millenary identity of Sardinia was particularly successful: "With the words 'We are Spaniards, Africans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, Pisans, Byzantines, Piedmontese' , extracted from the magnificent composition 'We are Sardinian' by Grazia Deledda, Franco Campus led the spectators on a journey through time and space, recalling the multiple historical influences that have shaped the island throughout prehistory and history.
In his speech, Campus brilliantly highlighted the strategic importance of Sardinia as a crossroads of civilizations in the Mediterranean. Through careful and in-depth analysis, he underlined how architecture, social organization, cults and trade have evolved over time. The Sardinians, a people with an extraordinary ability to adapt and understand, have been able to assimilate and transform the cultural influences of the peoples who have passed through the region over the centuries". The conference represented a historic moment for the Sardinian Club of Geneva, highlighted by the participation of over 50 people, and confirmed the role of the association as a Swiss point of reference for the promotion of Sardinian culture and social integration.
