Cagliari, "sa passillara" Daniela Zedda is born

In public, Daniela Zedda was a very shy person . In private, however, she was fantastically explosive: shrewdly casteddaia, curious, very generous and even more fun . She deeply loved everything she decided to dedicate herself to, not only photography of which she was a master, but music, literature, journalism, the arts and fashion. Passions that she externalized, however, only through her photographs that she used as a filter between herself and the world .

If you want to find the real Daniela Zedda, you have to look for her among her works. So who knows how she would have learned that two years after her death (which occurred prematurely) from next July 4th the pier that connects Molo Ichnusa to Su Siccu will bear her name: passillara Daniela Zedda.

Would she have scoffed? Would she have told everyone to go to hell? Or would she have welcomed the proposal with one of her lightning-fast quips. Like: «You do it, but no to me circheis». The fact is that her name will thus remain even more impressed in the city's memory. Also because it will not only be a question of unveiling a plaque but of giving life along the promenade to «a permanent exhibition dedicated to her Cagliari» , explains Sergio Benoni, a journalist, who strengthened a brotherly friendship in the editorial office of L'Unione Sarda, their place of work. «The exhibition is organized by the cultural association Tyche thanks to the collaboration with the Port System Authority of Sardinia, which has decided not to limit itself to hosting Daniela Zedda's photographs along the wall that flanks the wooden walkway over the waters of the port, but to name the entire exhibition route after the artist».

Friday 4 July will be the occasion for a double appointment: at 10 the placement of the plaque and immediately after the start of the permanent exhibition entitled "La Città Parlante" "composed of a selection of thirty shots taken between 2020 and 2021 by Daniela for the book on Cagliari", explains Benoni, co-author of the work published in 2022 by the German publishing house Emons: "111 places in Cagliari that you really have to discover".
