It is one of the 23 country churches that will be restored with funds from the Pnrr and is also an identity asset of Gallura .
The hermitage of San Trano, in Luogosanto, must become an even more beautiful and usable place for the Diocese of Tempio. "This is one of the symbolic places of Gallura identity and there is a need to get to grips with the soul of our faith, or rather the matter of this place . With a restoration studied in the smallest details": Don Francesco Tamponi, together with the mayor of Luogosanto, Agostino Pirredda, presented the Pnrr construction site of San Trano.
The Diocese of Tempio has chosen the ancient building to confirm the commitment of its Cultural Heritage Office on the 23 restoration projects of as many country churches . Tamponi, together with his staff, is taking care of the restoration of the places of worship, together with the Region and the Sardinian Episcopal Conference. The hermitage of San Trano is nestled between the granite boulders, Don Tamponi explains: « Our objectives are these. To make the hermitage accessible. To reaffirm the need for the Gallura aesthetic, the simplicity, the austerity of these places. To nourish the memory, looking to the future ».
The project is handled by the technicians of the Diocese, Antonio Quidacciolu, Salvatore Denau, Salvatore Bicchiri, the parish priest of Luogosanto, Roberto Aversano, and the designer Antonello Spano. The company is Fanti di Tempio.
The process for the restoration of the Gallura churches, as well as 76 other country churches throughout the island, is burdened by bureaucratic pitfalls that are wasting time and resources . For example, the invoices were rejected because the European Union does not reimburse the two euros of the stamp duty, everything has to be redone. Even worse is the request to certify the cultural interest of assets that already have the constraints and protections of the Superintendencies.
