CARNIVAL IN OROTELLI

In Barbagia there are many traditions which still reveal the endless aspects of a centuries old culture.
During carnival daily history becomes myth, an extraordinary event, an immortalized rite, an appointment that can not be missed.
Even in Orotelli the dark and soot faced sos thurpos beckons in a mysterious way. A carnival that has to be seen.
