"Even in the darkest moments of our lives, we can find a light that gives hope." Sister Giuliana Crobu opened the exhibition "The Wonders of the Sky" by Alessandro Casula, organized as part of the celebrations for the centennial of the Asilo Steria on Via XX Settembre, run by the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity. For a hundred years, the asylum "has been a glimmer of light for many poor people who have found comfort and welcome here," said Sister Giuliana, and light is the common denominator of the exhibition, which can be visited until November 25th every day from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. A suggestive and fascinating photographic journey featuring the moon and the Milky Way as protagonists in shots immortalized in various parts of the island, symbolizing, added Sister Giuliana, "a hundred years of light for those here at the Asilo Steria who were able to find a ray of light that helped them emerge from their darkness." And so here is the Christ of Costa Rei near Peppino's Rock, topped by the infinite stars of the Milky Way, or the red moon in a glimpse of Sinnai, with a cat suddenly passing by, by pure luck, making that photo magical. Each photo evokes a different emotion. The exhibition is enriched by a series of panels explaining the different moons that mark the months: from January's Wolf Moon, which recalls the howls of wolf packs approaching villages in winter, to June's Strawberry Moon, which indicates the brief period when wild strawberries are ripe and ready for picking.
