Vivere la campagna
The provincial area of Middle Campidano is scattered with noteworthy religious buildings dating from different ages. They show a variety of architectural styles, from Romanesque to Gothic-Aragonese, from Baroque to Renaissance. A number of shrines have been guarding valuable works of art in their interiors, such as most precious retables, polychrome marble altars, ancient pipe organs, wooden statues, frescoes etc. Rural churches are of special interest, being often immersed in evocative natural settings also making the background to festivals, fairs and religious events, alternating throughout the year in a rich calendar of highlights. In the old centres, squares of medieval layouts and scenic views host gems of sacred architecture, expressing Sardinian people’s deep sense of religion through their stylistic features.
A visit to the churches, either in old centres and in rural sites, will disclose a simply-natured piety, closely related to the traditional agro-pastoral civilization that, still today, interchanges daily activities with intense proofs of faith.
