The Folk Association "Quartiere Villanova" is pleased to celebrate its 50th year of activity with an exhibition showcasing the forgotten folk traditions of the city of Cagliari.
The exhibition includes:
Iconography – reproductions of illustrations created in the city from the early 1800s up to 1930;
Photography – the evolution of Sardinian fashion from 1850 to the 1940s;
Historical garments – rare, original pieces from private collections, alongside precise historical reconstructions;
Goldsmithing – the magic of *prendas*, traditional amulets and ornaments crafted from gold and silver.
"Cagliari Attire: Story of a restoration"
Speakers: Antonello Piras, Fabrizio Manunza, Giovanni Piras.
A focus on the philological restoration of the historic costumes of Cagliari. We will discover how clothing in the past was a true social mirror and a strong element of identity among the neighborhoods: from the fine fabrics of the panetteras to the characteristic garments of the various working guilds. We will take a close look at over fifty years of studies conducted by comparing original artifacts, vintage photographs, writings, and historical paintings.
Dance in Tradition: The Difference Between Piazza Dance and Theatrical Adaptation
Speakers: Antonello Piras, Maria Carmela Deidda, Margherita Puddu.
A deep reflection on how traditional dance has changed over time. We will analyze the transition from dance experienced as a spontaneous communal ritual in public squares to its evolution into choreography designed for the theatrical stage, with its rules, frontality, and artistic patterns created for an audience of spectators.
