Sardinia today is a forge of activities. The island is animated by talented and creative generations. Aesthetic delicacy, recovery of traditions, a focus on the environment, but above all an eye for slow, human-scale living. Past and present intertwine and together represent the modern face of Sardinia. They evoke the rich traditional heritage and at the same time emphasize new trends.

“We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants”, said Bernard of Chartres. This is what Cagliari tells today by showing itself to the world at the 39th EGOS Colloquium: a history with deep roots in the past, an antiquity to which the debt of gratitude of modern people is expressed today. For the advance of the arts, science and culture in the broadest sense represents a legacy that comes from afar. But today it is transformed and gives rise to the new and eclectic face of a modern Sardinia, increasingly at the center of the world.
