On Thursday 19 December at 3 p.m., the Museo Organica will host ‘Diari senza spina – Pelagus’, a reading of words and music by Berchiddese writer Luca Nieddu, presented in Sardinia as a regional premiere after the successful experience of the first five dates of the tour that in November 2024 touched down in Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy.
The story – which will be read from memory by Nieddu himself, with the intimacy that the oral tradition of remembering and handing down requires – evokes childhood, the emotions of a child in those minutes before playtime in the courtyard: the sudden and unexpected rain, the game of secret, the memory of the sea enclosed in his hands.
Pelagus is the first story in the Diari senza spina series, an original publishing project strictly handwritten by the author and edited by the Tajirà publishing house in Cagliari.
The event, the 2024 edition of the Foliage Festival, is also part of the regional project ‘La montagna racconta’ (The Mountain Tells), coordinated by the Atlantide cultural association, which involves numerous island CEAS in the realisation of activities and events dedicated to the world of education to make the new generations aware of sustainability and environmental protection through the rediscovery and enhancement of Sardinia’s natural and cultural heritage.
The initiatives, which will be held between December and January in the Curadureddu forest – and which on this first day will involve two classes from the G.M. Dettori High School in Tempio – are organised by the CEAS Tempio in collaboration with the Organica Museum, coordinated by the Progetto Atlantide association and the “Coltiviamo Il Nostro Futuro” project with the patronage of the Region of Sardinia and the Ministry of the Environment within the framework of the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, and the support and collaboration of the experts from the Monte Limbara Nord Forestry Yard of the regional agency Forestas.
