The symbols of the Nuragic civilization reinterpreted through the contemporary language of metal. The exhibition "Trexenta in Copper" by artist Gualtiero Capra opened yesterday evening at the Domu Nosta Archaeological Museum (Madn) in Senorbì. This artistic journey pays homage to the history and identity of Trexenta.
The exhibition offers a striking reinterpretation of the ancient Sardinian iconographic repertoire: female figures inspired by the Mother Goddess and warriors reminiscent of Miles Cornutus emerge from metal surfaces worked with acids, sand, and pigments, where copper takes center stage.
The works, created between 2020 and 2026, recount an ancestral past that continues to engage with the present. "Gualtiero Capra deserves credit for reinterpreting the iconography and symbols of our heritage, allowing us to continue weaving the invisible thread that links the past to the present," emphasizes Elisabetta Frau, director of the museum on Via Scaledda and the Monte Luna Archaeological Park.
Curated by art historian Marcella Serreli, the exhibition is organized by the Sa Domu Nosta cooperative with the patronage of the Municipality of Senorbì and the support of Cantina Trexenta, which will be present at the opening with a tasting of its wines. The exhibition, part of the museum's tour, will be open until May, Tuesday through Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A journey through memory and identity that celebrates, through copper, the infinite charm of ancient Trexenta.
