A short video of the Mamuthones from Mamoiada at the Tappas in Mamujada. My video taking skills aren’t the best and I wasn’t in the best place to capture the Issohadores. Here’s a little sneak peek into the mysterious Mamuthones.
Sassari – The kiss between two guilds. The Carpenters (Gremio dei Falegnami) and The Peasants (Gremio dei Contadini.)

Have you seen Sardinia’s 2nd largest festival?
1st Memorial ‘Francesco Lepori’ Bike Race on the streets of North-West Sardinia!
I can hear the crowds cheering ‘Forza, Dai!’ It’s a beautiful day for a bike race.
This video was shot on their first way around the 15km route. They must complete this route five times to be announced the winner, 75km! Yikes!
Forza Ragazzi!
Will you visit Sardinia?
Sometimes in life we need to take a moment, a moment to reflect, a moment to breathe and a moment to feel alive. As most of you know, I love Sardinia. Never in my life have I seen such natural beauty, such diverse land and spectacular coasts.
I’d like to share this video with you, on a Sardinia rarely seen. This IS a must see.
Let your emotions fly, above Sardinia sky.

How do you feel after watching the video?
I few months ago I wrote a post titled: How to Eat a 12lb Sardinian Snapper. Today, I have added the video. Watch one of my Sardinian friends dig into this massive head.
Do you have the courage?
My Sardinian Mom is my husbands second cousin, her passion is paint and colour. Her house is a museum of beautiful colourful paintings, each one over the years hung on every wall space available.
She paints landscapes, women and children, fruit and vegetables. She paints on glass, canvas, leather and cotton. Her art is fantastic and truly Sardinian.
Her name is Maria Caterina Satta. She is an extremely humble person who has painted for over sixty years. In the last two years she has finally opened her art for the world to see.
Art critic Andrea Diprè and his team flew to Sardinia late last year to film a fifteen minute segment for his popular show on Italian TV.
Check it out for yourself.
The YouTube clip is in Italian. But you get to see her art!
What do you think?
Carnival Tempio Pausania 2011. Parade for the kids, this is judging time and dance time!
Early morning runs have given way to cold, wintry mornings in; computer side. With my eight year old crocs keeping my elevens warm and toasty, I forget about the six kay and settle deeply into the wonders of the net.
I skim along the morning headlines and click a YouTube link, probably from one of the major social networks circling the many circles. I watch the cute, quirky, kind of annoying video of whatever and notice, in the upper right hand corner my social Gravatar, I click it in wonder. What’s behind that door?
UPLOAD!
So, I did it! Five times!

What do you think?
Greetings from snowy Sardinia. The white fluff keeps falling closing schools, buses and offices. Farmers are left in frustration as their crops are frozen, giving rise to a price hike in fresh produce.
