INCIPIT — “There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval”, thought Schopenhauer. “Dèu seu gosendimì s’intervallu e ispereus chi durit!”, recites back Anna Simbula, a writer from San Giovanni Suergiu, a hit and sunk village in the heart of Sulcis.
Oh yes, let us enjoy the interval between the province of Cagliari and that of Iglesias, including the island of Sant’Antioco (and leave the Ligurian San Pietro, the narrow alleys of Carloforte and the local dialect to another time).
Let us linger on the infinite brackets of Sulcis — land of conquest for Punic and Phoenician people: the round brackets of its verdigris bays and slopes; the square ones of Carbonia’s Rationalism; or the gentle and curly ones of the pink movements by elegant flamingoes. Sulcis is the land of strong emotions, no halfway, take it or leave it. (to be continued…)
