The Barbagia region, hidden away in the heart of the island of Sardinia, is a place where rituals and traditions, costumes and festivals are alive and well, yet rooted firmly in the land’s ancient past. They reveal the hidden face of the island: that of a people shaped by the harsh landscapes that surround them, who celebrate fierce links to their heritage in dramatic festivals and flamboyant traditional costume.
