Private Project

Terra Strangia

Sardinia. In Silì, alongside the river Tirso, fare tegole (roof-tiles making) represented a peculiar way of life. Here the tile artisans, since the 17th century, started an intense manufacturing activity, which ended around the 1960s. Today the last Master Craftsmen, in Silì, still preserve the memory of the ancient art by passing on their secrets and skills to the younger generations. In the interviews the artisans reveal the many facets of fare tegole, as well as the phenomena and the motivations which led to production decline at the dawn of the economic boom, between shadows and lights.
