Last weekend I activated Semaforo IS0/IS-266 (“Traffic Light”) on the island of Sardinia. This special hill hosts the ruins of a radio laboratory used by Marconi, who was born 150 years ago. #sardegna#hamradio#sota#italy#SummitsOnTheAir#PortableOps
From a few days ago, when I was on my way to Cagliari to teach, I visited the extraordinary 4000-3650 BC site of Monte d’Accoddi, a Neolithic site in Northern Sardinia, completed to the present form around 3000 BC. Fabulously intriguing, and apparently the only ziggurat-style structure in the Western Mediterranean. This island has so many layers of history, in this case with a hint of Mesopotamia!#StandingStoneSunday#Sardegna#Sardinia#VisitingProfessor#unica
In the last few days, in between teaching & writing, I visited two more Nuraghic sites near Siddi dating from the Bronze Age, on a slight high plane above the fertile lowlands of Sardinia: one corridor-shaped (not the usual beehive dome style) at Sa Fogaia; one “giant’s tomb” called Sa Domu ‘e S’Orcu (i.e. house of the orcs!). Both practically empty in April & open to visitors to climb around and inside. Extraordinary places! #StandingStoneSunday#BronzeAge#History#Nuraghe#Sardinia#Sardegna
E' la prima volta che sento che una regione ha addirittura un regolamento che prevede che se non finiscono di contarle entro 12 ore, poi devono risigillare le schede e ci pensano i tribunali.
Come mai vanno cosi' piano ?
Giocano a carte nei seggi ?
Non ci sono rappresentanti di lista ?
Non ho visto girare messaggi in proposito (anche perché ero impegnato altrove) MA vorrei segnalare che anche in #Italia stanno facendo i test per il sistema di #allarmePubblico —che potrebbe esporre cellulari segreti usati da persone in difficoltà la cui sicurezza dipende dal fatto che questi cellulari NON vengano scoperti. Sono già passate le date per i test in #Toscana e #Sardegna, le prossime sono #Sicilia (5 luglio) e #Calabria (7 luglio).
Sardinia is riddled with extraordinary archeological sites, from early Neolithic standing stones & structures to the Nuraghe towers, Punic & Roman cities & ruins. Today, for Standing Stone Sunday, I visited the amazing Nuraghe tower & village (1500-1200BC), with large stone chamber intact, and the baffling sacred well (from about 1000BC), aligned for solar equinox and greater lunistice, all at Santa Cristina near Paulilatino.
Fabulous nuraghe of Genna Maria near Villanovaforru in Sardinia that I visited a few weeks ago on my way to UniCa, blissfully free of crowds - or of anyone, really! The central tower was built sometime in the Middle Bronze Age (about 1350BC), with more recent additions of a village during the Iron Age. Super simple & clever glass panel showing what it might have looked like, that you can gaze through & photograph. Mesmerizing. #StandingStoneSunday#Sardegna#Sardinia#nuraghe#bronzeage
