In the Divina Commedia, the great poet Dante said about Sardinians: “e a dir di Sardigna le lingue lor non si sentono stanche” (of Sardinia to gossip never do their tongues feel tired). With these words, Dante’s purpose was to depict a supposed annoying behavior of Sardinians to repeatedly praise and portray their home. But Sardinians do actually have many things to tell about their beautiful and majestic island. They hold the secret of long life.

Nowadays, other than being known as the mother of the closest living relative to Vulgar Latin, as well as the natural beaches of extraordinary beauty, and the crystalline waters that gently bathe its borders, Sardinia is known to guard a special place: Ogliastra.
