Sardinia Blues

Sardinia is an enchanting place and at the same time, the scent of home. It is not by coincidence that everyone who spends some time on this island, once away, starts missing it terribly. Sardinia is the island of wind, where the Mistral raffles your hair, your mind and blows away the weights carried by your heart. Sardinia is to dip into its crystalline waters, to dive in a primordial and uncontaminated world. It is a place where you can feel so far away from everyone and everything and so incredibly close to yourself at the same time. Sardinia is a song in an ancient language that tells about fantastic legends and extraordinary everyday life. Sardinia is the pride that stirs the mind of who was born here; the initial mistrust that becomes a loving welcome in the blink of an eye. Sardinia is the roots of a land that has a lot to tell and a few secrets to protect. Sardinia is the bright moon that reflects on the sea and the sun that blushes before disappearing behind the horizon. Sardinia is the scent of helichrysum and myrtle that welcomes you as you arrive, the soft touch of the sand that contrasts with the roughness of the rocks. Sardinia is a rebel land, a savage force that, without any antagonism or resentment, helps you find a balance with nature, taking you back to an essential beauty. Sardinia is time that goes by slowly, that gives you the possibility to be amazed at every corner of the sky, the water, the land. Sardinia is not made for everyone and not everyone is made for Sardinia. This island is like a great love: it needs to be embraced, understood and accepted. The ones who will have the heart to do it, will receive a lot more than they could ever imagine. The strong ancestral call of Sardinian landscapes is something that will overwhelm you. It feels almost like past and present merge so strongly that you don’t even understand what time period you are living in, when you are in these places. These places have a peculiarity: when you are here you understand certain things at a later time. It feels like they slowly reveal their secret that you can’t understand immediately. It is probably this research that makes a journey in Sardinia so beautiful. As it happens in the complex loving relationship of the people who have decided to leave here.
