Not sure what its name is, but I think I used to eat it…The bell tower is always a benchmark wherever you go in Sardinia and all of Italy.In the outskirts, near the countryside, nature and old houses.More local flora.Side alley.Lemons, so beautiful I couldn’t refrain from taking a picture.Locals in a mural on the main road.One of the murals in the main road portraying Antonio Gramsci, Italian politician, writer and founder of the Communist Party.One more mural.Building under construction overlooking the main road.Cute yesteryear corner.
A photo reportage from a typical Sardinian village, Ghilarza, which happens to be also Antonio Gramsci’s and my hometown (not bragging at all here). Stone walls, a persistent nature, colorful flowers and churches are possibly the main characters of most villages in the big Italian island of Sardinia.
