To present his new collection, Antonio Marras focuses once more on territoriality and this time not only drawing his inspiration from the Sardinian tradition, but focusing the spotlight on a site that the whole world should know, unique, majestic, prehistoric, fascinating, of immeasurable value: so let’s talk about Barumini.
A message as simple as it is powerful: a unique and unrepeatable Sardinia. Sardinia like Easter Island, like Machu Picchu, Stone Age or Angkor Wat.
A fashion show, a short movie, a video with an almost entirely Sardinian cast and crew, with the purpose of proving that Sardinia can compete, realizing events with local resources worthy of the great shows in Milan, Paris and New York.
The complex at Barumini is one of the 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites that can be found in Italy.
According to UNESCO, this extremely valuable and important archaeological site is exemplary for being the most complete and best-preserved of the remains left by the Nuragic Civilization; at the same time, it also demonstrates the intelligent use of innovative materials and techniques by a prehistoric community.
The Village of Barumini - with its innumerable testimonies of a society that lasted for over a thousand years – indicate that this territory was inhabited over an immensely-long period of time: from the Bronze Age until the Third Century A.D.
For all these reasons Barumini is the best representation of Sardinia’s great stone monuments: a suggestive and mysterious place to visit.
