Today and tomorrow, December 18 and 19, Cagliari Airport will be the showcase of excellence of the art and traditions that make Sardinia a unique reference in the panorama of international craftsmanship.
The aim of the event "Artigiani in aeroporto", created in collaboration with the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, is to give visibility and prestige to the best of regional artisan production and to introduce the arts, crafts and traditions of the island to the large audience of passengers, Italians and foreigners of many different nationalities, present at the airport in the pre-holiday period , making everyone, travellers and visitors, live an unforgettable experience.
"Artigiani in aeroporto" presents, in an area of approximately 200 square meters on the Departures floor of the terminal, a careful selection of 32 master craftsmen. They are the protagonists of the event representing the various artisan categories (ceramics, fabrics, metals, jewelry, glass and leather) identified within the Vetrina dell'artigianato artistica – a project of the Department of Tourism, Crafts and Commerce of the Sardinia Region – and all currently exhibit in the ISOLA Boutique at Cagliari Airport. During the two days of the event, between 10 am and 5 pm, the artisans will have further opportunities to tell their creations in one of the busiest areas of the terminal.
To make the experience of passengers and visitors more complete and fascinating, the artisans are joined by masters of some of the traditional crafts : a nougat maker, a cheese maker, a pasta maker, a baker, a craftsman who produces 'sa carapigna'. The tastings of typical Sardinian products will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the authentic flavors of the island by taking a real food and wine journey through the area.
Live demonstrations and tastings of local products will engage and intrigue travellers and visitors to Cagliari Airport for the entire duration of the event, as will the gamification activities designed for the occasion: those who participate will be able to become "Ambassadors of Sardinia" and receive one of the 100 exclusive ISOLA handicraft works .
