Ittiri is preparing to host a study day that will see many of the main national researchers in the field of archaeologists as protagonists.
The event, which will be held on Friday 5 May at the Teatro Comunale , will begin at 9 with greetings from the Mayor of the Coros centre, Antonio Sau , and the Superintendent of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Sassari, Bruno Billeci . The day will continue with various speeches until 5.40 pm when the final discussion will take place.
There will be two central themes of the meeting: the first is constituted by the intense and prolonged research activity carried out by the Genoese archaeologists in Sardinia following, mainly, the initiative of Santo Tinè , holder of the chair of Palethnology of the University of Genoa , which at the end of the 70s of the last century began to devote ample space of its professional activity to some unresolved questions of Sardinian protohistory ; the second regards the nuraghe Santu Antine of Torralba and Sant'Imbenia of Alghero and the prehistoric altar of Monte d'Accoddi .
For the occasion, the figure of an archaeologist will also be remembered, Susanna Bafico , of Genoese and Sardinian origin, who lived her professional and private life in Ittiri and who was the first to conduct research at the Sant'Imbenia nuraghe in Alghero with those discoveries that have made it possible to identify the site as a crossroads of peoples and ideas, between the West, southern Italy and the Near East. This conference is dedicated to the memory of Susanna Bafico, who passed away in 2015. The cultural initiative is organized by the Department of Culture of the municipality of Ittiri, in collaboration with the association ArcheoUri Vagando.
