Villacidro, ‘Mulino Cadoni’ - Museum ‘Villaggio d'Ombre’

Mulino Cadoni (‘Cadoni Mill’)

This imposing structure hosted a modern mill until the years of the second post-war period. It has preserved its elegance and spaciousness: a large portal opens onto the courtyard in pebbled stone, embellished by a veranda in front of the edifice. Structured into three levels, it is entirely paved with sturdy wooden planks and covered by wooden ceilings; the three storeys are linked by a wooden staircase.

The edifice, whose exterior is adorned by elegant decorations, hosts a Museum called ‘Villaggio d’ombre’. By means of scenographic and modern techniques, visitors are offered a journey through the evocative readings of Giuseppe Dessì’s literary works. The writer is the author of the novel ‘Villaggio d’ombre’ and the winner of ‘Strega’ Prize in 1972.

Characters, places, objects and settings guide the visitor/reader in a new discovery of a literary and human route characterized by innermost feelings.
