That of 2022, after last year's stop, could be a "reduced form" Sartiglia. So no race to the star, no pairs and no stands in compliance with the anti-Covid legislation.
The organizers of the famous equestrian carousel that takes place in Oristano are setting up a limited program over the two days, Sunday 27 February and Tuesday 1 March.
There will be the dressing of the componidoris in the two Gremi headquarters, in via Aristana and via Solferino, the parade of the knights up to via Duomo, the blessing of the city and the crossing of swords. Proposal that was shared during a meeting in the Town Hall with the representatives of the Municipality and the Foundation, Sa Sartiglia institution, Gremi di San Giovanni and San Giuseppe, Cavalieri association.
"We are all aware of the difficulty of the moment - says the mayor and president of the Foundation, Andrea Lutzu -, the evolution of the pandemic every day brings us back to an extremely critical condition for the number of infections, for that of deaths, for the suffering of the health system. For this reason, with great regret, we understand that it will not be possible to propose a Sartiglia as the centuries-old tradition has handed down to us ". "However, we believe - he adds - that, if the health situation does not undergo a negative evolution, the conditions are in place for us to be able to propose to the city a program which, respecting safety standards, will allow for a renewal of the appointment with tradition".
Now the word goes to the prefect and the commissioner.
