    About the Book

    Edit



    Barbagia is a large mountainous area in the central-eastern part of the Italian island Sardinia with beautiful nature and little isolated villages where people still lives respecting traditions working most of sheep-farming and breeding.

    In the village of Sedilo every year a hundred of the most daring and brave horse riders participate in a wild and unrestrained race; S'ardia.

    They don't run for money or glory but to show their devotion to a warrior saint, Saint Constantine. Actually he is not a saint according to the Vatican Church that never approved him, but he is to Sedilo’s people, who celebrate his deeds.

    The dust filled air, the smell of gunpowder and the crowd' s frenzy bring Sedilo and its inhabitants back to a time long gone.
