SARDENYA 2024
Piazza Pino Piras is an important square located in the historic centre of Alghero (Sardinia), which often serves as a meeting point or the starting location for cultural routes.
Pino Piras (1941–1989): The square is named in honour of the most popular Alguerese poet and singer-songwriter of the 20th century. Piras was fundamental to the survival and revitalization of Alguerese (the local Catalan dialect) through his music.
Musical and Cultural Legacy: His songs, often populist, humorous, and satirical (such as "Lo pipiripì" or "Quatre quilons de merda negra"), helped keep the Catalan language alive in the social sphere. Piras was one of the few Alguerese artists to achieve record production and made many visits to Catalonia.
Square's Function: The square, which maintains its designation in both Catalan and Italian, is a central and easily accessible location from which visitors can begin exploring the old city walls and the streets of the historic town.
