Traditions - An ancient culture of a thousand faces

Typical costumes of Tuili

Popular traditions of Middle Campidano have often made the object of studies by enthusiasts and scholars; however, the interest they rise goes beyond the academic community, as folklore can also involve tourists and onlookers.
Traditions and ancient rites are not merely a cold revisiting of the past: today they are still alive and deep-rooted into local culture, being an essential component of daily life.
Exploring or simply observing this world of colours, music, costumes, ancient rituals and much more, is a chance to enjoy a cultural enrichment, for whoever wants to get to know the Province in its purest and innermost core.
