Thousand secrets passed down from generations

Going all around Sardinia, you will have the opportunity to know and to admire handicrafts of different fields: pottery, textiles, the working of iron, copper, wood, stone, glass, leather, cork and helophytes, goldsmithery and agricultural and food art. Some of these are typical of a specific area and sometimes of only a singular village. They are often the fruit of centuries of experience passed from father to son or from mother to daughter: they were partially getting lost, but during the last decades, there was a rediscovery of these traditions.  

Sardegne.com  suggests, among its experiences, guided tours in some workshops, especially of the trades which are dying out (as the coppersmith, the farrier and the shipwright). Looking at them on the job is fascinating: metals and stones change and take the desired shape, which, sometimes, is rich in ornamentations and ancient symbols, whose history is lost in antiquity.
