La fondazione
The "Sardinia Island of the Romanesque" Foundation was created by the will of the Municipalities that hold the monumental heritage of Sardinian Romanesque architecture and the Itinera Romanica-Amici del Romanico Cultural Association, as well as by the contribution of ideas and experiences of the extended partnership. It represents the result of a constant, intense, long-term and fruitful collaboration with the island's Universities, Superintendencies, the Church and local institutions.This tangible work has taken concrete form with the participatory definition of this new body, aimed at preserving and promoting the articulated system of the Paths of Faith and its network of itineraries that are already the destination of significant flows of pilgrims and visitors.
A great festival dedicated to the art and architecture of the Italian Middle Ages. Over one hundred cathedrals, abbeys, monasteries, country churches in Sardinia, Sicily, Piedmont and Lombardy open their doors for the first edition of Italia Romanica. Guided tours, events and experiences dedicated to an extraordinary era interpreted by great sculptors, painters, architects and engineers who have left their mark on the history of Italian art.

Gli Itinerari del Romanico Sardo
In order to favour visits to the great Sardinian Romanesque Itinerary, which features over 150 surveyed sites, it was decided to create 14 sub-routes composed of churches located in the same territory, thus facilitating life for tourists who have chosen a specific place to spend their tourist experience in Sardinia, offering them a cultural tourism proposal in the vicinity of that territory. To this end, guides have been produced, edited by Professor Andrea Pala, lecturer in the History of Medieval Art at the University of Cagliari, aimed at the general public and developed between Romanesque itineraries in urban areas and in rural areas, between coastal areas and those in the interior of the island, promoting connecting dynamics between the different territories of Sardinia.
