Omissible Itineraries of Cagliari:
Roman Amphitheatre:  ancient theatre of the 1st Century, built entirely in the calcareous rock; it is said that it could have contained ten thousand spectators. Today it guests various live representations, like concerts, shows and cultural manifestations.

GOING AWAY FROM THE CITY
A few minutes from the city, the village of San Sperate is known as the Town Museum, as it was considered a symbol from 1960 a stop for all those avant-garde and muralist artists of the place who yearned to break into the world of art: and in fact several important names have stayed in these places, giving them secure work time, originality, recognisable in every gorge and roads of the country. For example the great artist Pinuccio Setola already resided in these grounds from 1968, dedicating every type of mural, meanwhile following the project of Pietre Sonanti who was already ahead by 15 years: it treats us to a construction of basalt, limestone and trachyte worked with lame that, if thrashed or grazed with any utensil, reproduces particular sonority. It is absolutely possible to have an interview with the artist, who will receive you upon appointment in his studio, facing his rural laboratory, which is an orchard of citrus trees adorned with immense vibrant stones. San Sperate has gathered other innumerable muralists, like Angelo Pilloni who from 1972 has been the official member of the artistic movement of San Sperate; interestingly is his contemporary works, all reported scenes of rural life, evidencing with extreme precision the characteristic Carnpidanesi houses.
