Foto 14 august in Sassari

We Sassarese have a long history that dates back to the Pisan occupation of the island. Going back centuries, this tradition of the Candelieri was born. Each Guild builds a candelabra and, on the August 14thThey parade through the city. Every now and then they stop to dance, cheer on the crowd, and rest. Obviously, check Wikipedia for more info.

Rara occasione in cui la città è davvero viva. Anche se sembra che il nuovo sindaco si stia impegnando moltissimo per renderla di nuovo grande
