A new event on Sardinian archaeology comes to Terralba on Friday, July 24, at 5:30 PM, at the "Sebastiano Satta" Municipal Library . The focus of the event will be the culture of San Ciriaco, one of the most significant chapters in the Neolithic period in Sardinia and the western Mediterranean. Leading the audience on this journey into the past will be Laura Fanti, a PhD in Prehistory from the University of Nice, France, and an adjunct professor in the Master's Degree in Archaeology and the School of Specialization in Archaeological Heritage at the University of Cagliari, where she teaches Prehistory and Protohistory. The event is organized by the Selas – Archeologia del Territorio association, in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Terralba, and with the patronage of the Municipality.
The evening will open with a moment of reflection dedicated to the memory of Professor Carlo Lugliè , who tragically and prematurely passed away in 2023. "A deep relationship of respect and friendship had developed between our association and the professor over the years," explains President Alessandro Rosas . "We collaborated on several projects and conferences, also because of the special bond he had with Terralba. It is our duty to dedicate a thought to him before we begin." Beyond the scientific value of the event, the Selas association pursues a broader goal that goes beyond the single evening.
" Our goal is to raise awareness among the population about the richness of Terralba and the surrounding area," Rosas emphasizes. "We want residents, especially the younger generations, to understand how much archaeological heritage lies beneath our feet. This is also why the events we organize seek to complement and support the broader project of building the archaeological museum on Via Marceddì, a place that will become a focal point for the community's historical memory, and which needs everyone's support to grow ." Admission to the conference is free and open to all.
