Great success today, in Oliena, for the fifth edition of the "Invasioni Barbariche" festival, now an unmissable event in the Barbagia Carnival which marks the first release of the traditional masks.
The numbers confirmed themselves as important with the town invaded by thousands of curious people, who attended the event organized by the Fedales 94 of the San Lussorio Committee, with the patronage of the Municipality, Proloco and local CCN.
From 4pm, the parade will start from Via Martin Luther King, which crossed Corso Vittorio Emanuele to arrive at Piazza Berlinguer, which proved to be too small to accommodate the flood of people arriving from everywhere. The evening will be presented by Giuliano Marongiu, accompanied for the occasion by the voice of Maria Luisa Congiu, with the prize draw by the Committee.
The numbers in the local accommodation facilities are important, with an event that proves to be growing: «We can only be satisfied – says the mayor Bastiano Congiu – the event was born almost out of nowhere in 2018, on the initiative of the children of the San Lussorio association and today it is a fixed destination, with a tourist connotation that benefits the local economy. But above all a moment of sharing and brotherhood between territories, in a climate of great hospitality." The mayor concludes: «Thanks to the boys of '94 together with the associations who took the field for the work done».
