**Sardinian POETRY**

📜Extemporary thread about the art of poetry in Sardinia, especially the poetic contests 🎶
Oral tradition in Sardinia has always been a strong component of the conservation of memory. Most people were illiterate, but they could still create poetry. This is a particular characteristic of shepherds, which also relates to the traditional singing technique.
A tradition that remained for long in Sardinia is that of poetic contests. People (usually men, but also women could make poetry) would challenge each other in improvised rhymes centering a topic. They could be 2 people, or 4, or more. Poetic contests were typical of village -

**The festival of SANT'ANTIOCO**

Thread about, you guessed it, the festival of Saint Antiochus, patron of Sardinia.
Antiochus was born in North Africa and was likely a doctor. He was raised in the Christian faith, in a period in which Romans still persecuted Christians. The hagiography says he was pretty vocal about his faith and for this reason the Roman governors tried to kill him, -
-eventually forcing him at sea on a boat. This boat is said to have reached the Sardinian island of Sulci (today, Sant'Antioco), where Antiochus carried on his preaching. He was found by the Romans again, who sentenced him to death, but Antiochus miraculously and peacefully died-

**NORA: Nuragic, Punic, Roman site in Sardinia**

🌊 Thread about the archaeological remains of an important centre of Punic and Roman Sardinia. 🌊
Nora is located in the South Sardinia, today in the municipality of Pula, at close distance from Cagliari. It is famous for being the site of the martyrdom of Sant'Efisio and back in the day, it was probably even more important than Karales (Cagliari).
The archaeological site was known already in the 16th century but it was mostly covered by the sand. In the 19th century, a strong sea-storm uncovered part of the mosaics, arising interest and leading to a series of excavations that revealed what was underground.

✨Today is the launch day of SONG AMONG THE RUINS!✨

My little YA historical gothic book set in Sardinia officially releases today (Amazon link below ⬇️). So, I wanted to say a couple of words.
As you might know by now, the main setting is Cuglieri, a village in the Montiferru. Today is the 1st anniversary of the fire that burned down large part of the forest and destroyed the millennial oleaster. Exactly one year ago, I was preparing to begin-

-drafting when this all happened. I am now working on the Italian translation of the book, for which I have different plans regarding publication, but in one way or another it will be out eventually.

**🏰CASTLES of Sardinia🏰**

Thread about the still surviving and recognisable castles of the Middle Age.
Sardinia had a different medieval history than the rest of Europe. By the 1000s, we had 4 different kingdoms, likely born from the division of an original single entity. The subdivision meant also a different kind of local administration. Differently than the rest of Europe, -
-castles in Sardinia developed along the confines of the kingdoms (as watchtowers towards the neighbours) and not in the countryside as a creation of a local feudal power. This means castles are relatively few (~120 in the whole Island for ~350 towns/villages).
