Descrizione

The Italian Railways Museum, located into the central train station in via Sassari, traces through several examples the most important steps in the history of railways in Sardinia. The original purpose was to conserve the testimony of industrial archeology preserved to nowdays.

The business began in the second part of 19th century, carring out the project of the engineer Benjamin Piercy, which led to the construction of 400 km of standard gauge network , to which were added the so-called "complementary" narrow gauge.

The museum , which collects several testimonies of Sardinian history of the railways , exhibits various objects as vintage photographs , a telegraph of the Real Railways, machineries, a working model of the ferry Gennargentu , lamps, clocks and rail instruments, but the most important piece is probably a living from the Sardinian Royal Train , very characteristic , since it has low height chairs made specifically for the stature of King Vittorio Emanuele III.

Opened in 1999 , the museum testifies the identity of the citizens of Cagliari of Genoese origin . In fact , it is located near the church dedicated to the patron saints of Genoa, George and Catherine, built at the expense of Archconfraternity , after the destruction of the historic one during the bombing in 1943. The ancient church's liturgical objects , recovered from the ruins thanks to the hands of the confraternity's members , are now preserved and exhibited in the museum. Among the most valuable pieces we find : the "Madonna of the city" , a work of seventeenth-century Genoese school ; " Christ and Mary offer the rosary to the Dominican monks " by Giovanni Bernardino Azzolin; "Deposition of Christ," by Gioacchino Asseretos ; the wooden group of processional case of the " Martyrdom of St. Catherine ," by Giuseppe Anfosso ; the silver and golden-copper monstrance of the '700 and the chasuble with the effigy of Saints George and Catherine and Genoa's coat of arms. The confraternity also preserves a rich archive containing documents from the sixteenth century , included the historic statute written in Italian vernacular.

The museum shows the history of the Parish of St. Eulalia, one of the most traditional in Cagliari and in Marina district, where it is located.

In its exhibition halls houses a wide collection of wooden paintings, silverware, vestments and a historical archive.

Among the paintings we report the "Ecce Homo" (double-sided oil on canvas), depicting Jesus scourged, attributed to John Bilevelt, a painter of Flemish origin of the first half of the 17th century. Remarkable, also, the Madonna with Child, a 14th century table of Tuscan school.

Among the wooden works, as well as artefacts of 18th century Sardinian anonymous carvers and Neapolitan workshops, deserves to be mentioned "Our Lady of the Forsaken" (last decades of the '500).

The hall of silver gathers lamps, crosses, chalices, monstrance and ciborium commissioned by the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament, some in baroque style from Liguria and Piedmont, while others produced in Sardinian workshops.

Rare vestments, belonged to popes and archbishops, are shown in apposite display cases and cabinets. Donated by noble families and congregations, they are rich in symbolism and references to sacred history and coats of arms. Noteworthy is "The Planet of Passion", date back to the middle of the '600 and attributable to some embroiders from Liguria, describing Jesus in two moments: in prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and into the Praetorium.

The archive consists of the parish documentation and funds from the arch-confraternities of Holy Sacrament of the Holy Sepulchre and St. Lucia. It preserves scrolls, books, records and papers, dating from the first half of the 500 until the first decades of the 900, which testify the work of churches and congregations in the religious, economic and social field, and their relations with the inhabitants of Marina district.

From the museum it's possible to reach underground archaeological area can be visited with the same ticket.

The museum is housed in the Convent of the Capuchin Friars Minor of Sardinia, which for thirty-four years hosted Fra Nicola from Gesturi.

The friar, who lived from 1882 to 1958 and declared blessed in 1999 by Pope John Paul II, is still alive in the hearts of the many faithful, especially from Cagliari, who remember his goodness and thaumaturgical abilities.

The exhibition is set up in a wing of the convent, next to the cloister, which was formerly the burial place of the friars. The rooms, with vaulted ceilings, preserve personal objects and photos that portray the friar in different moments of life, as well as the various stages of the beatification process.

There are the tombstone in the Bonaria cemetery and the remains of the coffin before the body was moved to the church of Saint Ignazio. Remarkable images of June 10, 1958, when an immense crowd attended the funeral.

On show the friar's worn-out clothes, cloak, glasses and all the poor personal items. There is no shortage of folders with the testimonies given by people during the beatification process.

In the museum there are also several bronze sculptures, always dedicated to the friar of Gesturi for whom the cause of canonization has been initiated.

The exhibition also includes the ex-votos and the precious treasures of Saint Ignazio from Laconi (1701-81), as well as the coffin of Fra Nicola from San Vero Milis, who died in the smell of holiness (1631-1707).

The Siamese Art Museum presents a wide variety of artistic pieces from different Asian cultures. However, it isn't identified as a " Museum of Oriental Art, " but as " Siamese Art Museum " to highlight that mainly it houses objects from Siam, and it is exactly this feature that makes the collection so unique and peculiar.

The history of the museum begins in July 1914 , when the collector Stefano Cardu, who lived for a long time in Siam, sent a letter to the Mayor Ottone Baccaredda, in which he offered part of his collection, as a gift to Cagliari.

Next to art pieces of religious subject, the museum exhibits also objects of domestic use, worked in a precious way, which represent an interesting overview about the level of handscraft production in those places. Statuettes and other ivory objects, mainly date back to the 17th century , worked with an amazing skill are produced in Japan, as well as the "tsuba" (iron washers that were used to protect the hand wielding the sword), artifacts that reveal a rare art ability. Among the most notable porcerlaines, we find the Chinese one of the Ming period and the early Quing emperors (from 14th to the 17th century).

A very rare part of the collection consists of the numismatic coins from the 11th to the last century.

A museum's section is also dedicated to arms: a collection of great interest especially for the presence of Siamese weapons, yet little known, which constitute the biggest and significant group.

The history of the National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari started in 1800, when Ludovico Baylle proposed the creation of a museum in order to collect the archaeological collections, to preserve the island Natural History samples and to make it accessible to the public, since 1802.

Since then, several members in the Reign of Sardinia cultural scene were involved in the museum directions, as De Prunner, Spano, Cara, Gennari or Vivanet at the end of XIX century.

Thanks to a large number of donations, private collections purchases, archaelogical finds from different excavation campaigns or objects accidentally recovered, during XIX century the museum was moved to more and more appropriate venues. At the beginning of the XX century, it was moved to the former National Mint and Armory building in piazza Indipendenza, in Castello district, suited by the architect Spano for this new purpose.

The new museum exhibition was organized in different halls according to different themes: prehistoric Sardinia, punic Sardinia, roman Sardinia.

Due to the several archaelogical campaigns after the WWII, since fifties the need of a bigger venue emerged. Because of this necessity, the Citadel of Museums was settled down to accomodate all museum collections and more.

The new National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari has four floors: the first is devoted to an educational presentation of ancient cultures succession in Sardinia, starting from the Neolithic period.

Therafter, we find the nuragic civilization, which is represented by countless artifacts among which it is possible to admire the bronzes collection, that collects samples from all over the island.

Then we have the Phoenician, Punic and Roman civilizations, extremely important for Sardinian history; between the most representative findings there are traditional pottery and fine craftsmanship objects. The ground floor ends with a collection of Punic and Roman coins and a didactic showcase for blinds.

The other three floors are dedicated to the illustration of different territorial areas, with the exposition of the material found in different locations according to topographical criteria, with showcases dedicated to specific archaeological sites. Among them there are very important areas dedicated to Su Nuraxi Barumini, the Sanctuary of Antas and to the Phoenician cities of Sulci and Monte Sirai.

The National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari joins the project "Sunday at the Museum ": the first sunday on every month the entry is free.
