An explosion of happiness and fun, which involved an impressive public estimated at around 25,000 people from every corner of Sardinia until late in the evening. Once again " A Maimone 2023, su Carrasegare antigu Samughesu" did not betray the expectations and there were so many considering the three-year stop for the covid emergency. An impressive demonstration that had its own apotheosis with the awaited release of the Mamutzones, S'Urtzu, Su Omadore, Minchilleo, Su Tragacorgios , all masks of the "ancient Carnival of Samughe" .

The first with the participation of Simone Pisano, professor of general linguistics at the University of Pisa. The second one saw the illustrious guest of the Olympic champion Lorenzo Patta, who in his parents' country, together with the journalist Valentina Caruso, chatted about the ride at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Throughout the day it was also possible to visit photographic exhibitions, at the Murats museum, while in the inhabited center there were many places dedicated to tastings and meals based on typical Samughe products.
Giuliano Marongiu presented the event with the commentary of the live streaming, while the music and dances that framed the event were entrusted to Massimo Pitzalis . Tired but satisfied with the success of the event Igor Saderi, president of the Mamutzones Cultural Association, Basilio Patta mayor of Samugheo and Sergio Loi responsible for communication. And it could not be otherwise given the great success.
