In Sardinia from january to december there are more than 200 events, but only three of them offer the opportunity to bring together all the typical costumes of the island: SantEfisio at Cagliari, the Redentore at Nuoro and the Cavalcata Sarda at Sassari.
The Cavalcata, that takes place on the last week of May, is different from the other two celebrations, because it is not a religious celebration, it joins varoius aspects: the costumes, dances, songs and destrezze on horseback are the real protagonists, emblems of a tradition that exists in all its variety and richness. On 14 August each year in Sassari you can watch at the descent of Candlesticks, this is a votive feast since the plague of 1652 ceased, was officially recognized as the fulfilment of the vote by the guilds of Arts and Crafts called by the Spanish word "Gremi", which undertook to offer the Assumption of the Virgin candles to bring every year on August 14 to the Church of Santa Maria in solemn procession.

About Scenery/Beauty Spots

Sardinia; island immersed in the sea, island of natural beauties……your holiday island! Year after year, its unique colours and ancient traditions conquer millions of visitors who flood this corner of paradise situated in the heart of the Mediterranean. Sardinia is famous for its emerald green transparent sea and its unspoiled white sandy beaches. However there is more, much more that Sardinia can offer visitors. There are numerous "surprises" that can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Visiting unique archaeological sites; nuraghi, menhirs and tombs of Giants can be an opportunity to discover the culture, the gastronomy and the crafts of the areas least affected by tourism. Discover the renowned hospitality of the Sardinian people. During the mild Sardinian winter or in spring come and experience the colours and the perfume that nature has blessed Sardinia with. Small enough to be classified as an island but big enough to be a universe unto itself, Sardinia lies about 120 miles west of the Italian peninsula. Its coastline is probably Europe's most spectacular. Its waters teem with fish and shellfish. Its broad valleys turn into golden oceans of wheat in summer. Its rugged mountains, pocked with caves, are home to large flocks of sheep that feed on pungent wild herbs and produce a cheese your palate will never forget. Nestled into its silent olive groves are some of the continent's oldest archaeological remains, dating back to 1700 BC. Its people speak a language incomprehensible to all other Italians, celebrate more saints' days than anyone else in the nation, and love to dress up in elaborate costumes at the drop of a finely-embroidered hat.

About History

The architecture and styles of the beautiful squares, churches and buildings bear testimony to the different historic periods of its development. The first references to the founding of the city of Sassari date back to 1131. Later, at the beginning of the thirteenth century the town experienced a period of growth under the dominion of the "Giudici" (Judges, or Governors) from Torres, who turned it into an important trading port, in particular with goods bound for Genoa. After the period under the "Giudici" from Torres, the town fell under the dominion of Pisa and around 1294, after the battle of Meloria, it became part of the kingdom of Genoa. In 1323 the city rose up against Genoese rule and submitted to the King of Aragon. In 1527 it was sacked by French troops and then in 1708, together with the rest of Sardinia, was involved in the war of Spanish Succession. It then passed under Austrian dominion only to become part of the Kingdom of Savoy in 1820. In the 1800s Sassari experienced a period of growth, above all thanks to intense trading with France. Today, the town of Sassari is known not only for its important industrial and commercial activity, but also because of its historic roots and the many places of interest in the area.
