Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery

Season 23 Episode 2: Sardinia - The Island That Exists

A journey into a unique land, in search of the colours, sounds, smells and signs that characterize it. The color of the sea and the stone. The sound of wind and voices. The smell of cistus and helichrysum. The signs of the many civilizations that have invaded it from time to time, without ever dominating it. An island that is almost a continent. From the beaches of Maddalena and Asinara to the mines of Sulcis, from the stones of the nuraghi to the Roman remains, from the basilica of Saccargia to the walls of Alghero, ours will be a tale punctuated by stories, traditions, legends that make this land a magical place and mysterious. We will meet its people, we will listen to its particular language and we will fill our eyes with the color of an incredible sea. The great English traveler Herbert Lawrence defined it thus: "Sardinia is something else... Ridges of hills like moorland... which are disappearing, perhaps, towards a small group of peaks.
