Abstract

The particular characteristics of the Sardinian landscape have always had an impact on visitors to the island. If looked at carefully, its seemingly simple appearance will reveal a hidden complexity from which an enigmatic, archaic and in some ways prehistoric land emerges. These qualities have the ability to rouse people from the lethargy of the senses that is induced by most contemporary urban habitats. The landscape of Sardinia has consciously or unconsciously been the departure point (or point of arrival) of almost all the projects presented in this itinerary.
