The real masters of the cowbells work in Tonara

Tonara (Barbagie) is the village specialized in the production of cowbells for the cattle (bovine and ovine). The cowbells are worn “in bunches” by the Mamuthones of Mamoiada in theirs applauded official exhibitions (carnival and festivals).

Fonni is another center of the Barbagie in which you can still find valid craftsmen that produce wrought iron objects: cancels, railings, scales, window gratings, beds, curtain poles, chandeliers, objects for the fireplace, spits and grills are the main handicraft products of an expanding field, now that the Sardinian handicraft has recovered its ancient splendour.
