The travels of the Etruscans in the Mediterranean, between Sardinia and Italy, continue to leave indelible traces in a sort of "historical-cultural territorial continuity" that connects the island to the rest of the peninsula. It is precisely those traces that have come down to us through finds and studies by researchers who continue to be visible in Barumini thanks to the exhibition: " Beyond the sea, Etruria and Sardinia in a thousand years of history ".

The exhibition organized by the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation , with the collaboration of the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of the Metropolitan City of Cagliari and the Provinces of Oristano and South Sardinia and with the patronage of the National Institute of Etruscan and Italic Studies, can still be visited at the Giovanni Lilliu Center for communication and promotion of cultural heritage .

Thanks to the recognized success of the exhibition and certified by the 14,000 admissions in seven months, about two thousand visitors a month from the inauguration date last May, the Foundation wanted to extend the setting up until next March 31st, together with the other lucky appointment dedicated to the “Thesaurus” exhibition on usurped heritage.

' Al di là del Mare ', is part of the important project that brought together the Barumini Sistema Cultura Foundation and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples to develop and implement scientific projects for dissemination purposes in the field of research, archeology and history , but also exhibitions, fairs and congresses.

The exhibition is an opportunity to relive moments and curiosities of the life of the Etruscans who have come down to us through the traces they left in Sardinia, Campania, Tuscany, Lazio and beyond. More than one hundred finds from the Etruscan collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, the Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, the Capitoline Museums of Rome, but also the Archaeological Museum of Florence are on display in Barumini. Sardinia cannot be missing from the set-up, which showcased an important collection of materials in comparison with those of the peninsula.
