From 19th-century daguerreotypes to highly sophisticated digital cameras, perhaps mounted on drones, which work miracles in the hands of professionals: this too is a fascinating way, perhaps the most impactful and immediate, to recount the wonder of the nuraghe. To ensure this millennia-old history continues to flourish and be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, a conference organized in Carbonia by the Sotacarbo research center highlighted the beauty of the vestiges of the island's past, entitled "Nuraghes: the photographic shot that succeeds in making beauty speak." The conference was organized by the "Sardinia towards UNESCO" association as part of a series of initiatives aimed precisely at inducting the monuments of the Nuragic civilization into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Therefore, let's give voice, or rather, images, to professional photographers Alessandra Cossu and Bibi Pinna, whose rich reportage has offered diverse visions and perspectives of the nuraghe and other contemporary remains. From sacred sources to large complexes, there is virtually no nuraghe that Cossu and Pinna have not immortalized, highlighting its unique features, with the fascinating goal of documenting all of Sardinia's archaeological sites.
Also interesting is the historical excursus from the first photographs in Sardinia dating back to 1823 on silvered copper plates to the daguerreotypes, passing through the drawings of Alberto La Marmora.
