La lezione della Sardegna

The landscape allows us to read in transparency an area. It is, as noted by Dardel, "an open door to all the Earth". For this reason we have to put it in the center of what we are and what we do. Sardinia, from this point of view, is an open book because it offers a rich sample of landscape types (mining, pastoral, urban, tourism, forestry, etc..). We must put aside the stereotypes that read the Sardinian landscape as a natural product: it is the result of history and processes of territorialisation. It is interesting to recall the lesson of the Maurice Lannou in its most vital aspects, and reflect on a different idea of Sardinia based on perceptual worlds and values of local actors.
