Yesterday afternoon in Sanluri, at the headquarters of the Rotary Club of Medio Campidano, Giorgio Murru, archaeologist from Barumini, was awarded as the person who in recent years has brought the most prestige to the territory.
Murru, from Barumini, after having worked for many years in his hometown, in Sanluri, Sardara, Allai, Las Plassas, for over 25 years has been the director of the Menhir Museum of Laconi and responsible for the research and teaching area of Mont'e Prama in Cabras.
In the church of San Sebastiano, home of Rotary, Murru recalled his beginnings in Montessu (Villaperuccio) and the twenty years of collaboration with Giovanni (Nino) Lilliu, his mentor and fellow countryman.
Murru, an expert in protohistory and also in medieval history, has carried out numerous works for the network of castles.
Orsola Altea, president of Rotary, awarded the scholar from Barumini with words of praise and taking a step back to remember, dutifully, Giovanni Pusceddu, another great man from Marmilla , supporter of many initiatives that, over time, have made known a Marmilla that, in fact, no one knew.
Words of praise for Giorgio Murru and Giovanni Pusceddu also came from the fond memories of Angelo Bandinu, former mayor of Sanluri and president of the Pro Loco.
A formal but at the same time light ceremony.
The award to Murru comes after those given, among others, to Count Alberto Villa Santa and the Barumini Foundation.
The Rotary Club Medio Campidano of Sanluri continues to enhance human and non-human resources and its civil commitment, also aimed at raising awareness among citizens of the entire Medio Campidano.
The church of San Sebastiano, behind the castle and a few steps from the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo, has been a point of reference for culture for years.
