My travel guide was indicating I should definitely stop by in the small
village San Sperate, located around 40km north of the Sardinian capital
Cagliari. The cute village is famous that a lot of artists work and live
there. Few year ago we have visted the mountain village Orgosolo (next
to Nuoro, in the middle of the island) where one could dive in almost
200 wall painting from different years. In san Sperate there are also
tons of colourful murales to enjoy through the whole village, most of
them pretty modern. One was even painted one day before we passed by:-))
In the next post i will tell you about the visit in one of themost
amazing open-air-art gallery I have ever been too: the garden of sound
sculptures of maestro Sciola!.

Orgosolo, the mural paintings village of Sardinia
The tiny an difficult to reach village Orgosolo is located in the mountainious middle of Sardinia. Nowadays it is famous for its over 120 mural paintings /murales, which depicts social, political and cultural problems from the last and current centuries...
The first of all murales here was painted in 1968...Sometimes its about events in Sardinia, sometimes its about European or worldwide troubles. The walls were the scene for different artists through the years to show their opinions and thoughts!
