"This is an extraordinary opportunity for redemption and recognition. The Domus de Janas have officially entered the heart of global culture. This changes our perspective: we are no longer a peripheral island, but a center of ancient civilization that still has so much to tell. It's a message of pride, but also of hope for the new generations," says archaeologist Giuseppa Tanda after the Domus de Janas were recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The announcement was made in Paris, from the organization's headquarters in Place de Fontenoy, not far from the Hôtel national des Invalides and the Tower designed by Gustave Eiffel.
Tanda, born in 1942 in Benetutti, has always studied them. They are the common thread throughout her field research.
She studied protohistory and taught for many years at the University of Cagliari . She is the driving force behind this project, which began in Sardinia and arrived in Paris with the glory of a prestigious award. She has always believed in it and now expresses a liberating joy.
