354^ Sagra di S. Efisio Cagliari - 2010
by Silvana Lai
The Sagra of Saint Efisio is the most important single event of traditional culture in the island of Sardinia, off the Western coast of Italy.
The central event of the festival is the huge parade that starts the journey in Cagliari. Five thousand people and dozens of carts and floats participate, accompanied by the joyful sound of the "launeddas," typical wind instruments. At the end of the procession, four days later, participants can be heard parting with the traditional formula: "Atrus annus"-"until other years."
