Sardinia, Summer 2018
After Puglia and Basilicata in 2017, we went to Sardinia during the Summer of 2018. Even though we spent three weeks there, we had family with us most of the time, therefore photographic activity was sometimes a bit curbed —to the point that I decided to return on my own in March–April 2019, after my retirement, to concentrate on photography (those pictures will be uploaded later).
The Romanesque chiesa campestre of Sant’ Antonio di Salvenero. The original nave, in the middle, is from the 11th century, and quite ornate for a “simple” little church in the middle of the fields, with obvious influence from Lombard architecture. Two other naves were added, probably during the 12th century, with elements from the 13th century. The square window you can see is the only element more recent. The southern nave features a sheltered door in its own southern wall, and a christianized Roman milestone stands in front of it.
