  1. Did you know that there's an #Italian woman that may embellish #history a tiny bit to preserve an #ancient #art?

    Chiara Vigo is a #craft woman who works with byssus - the beard hairs of a #mediterranean clam.
    The resulting fiber is spun into a thin but warm golden #fabric.

    The clam used is Pinna nobilis & unfortunately, its harvest is now illegal. Vigo claims to be the last person able to work with the fillament, & that she swore a "xuramento da auga" (water oath) to do so without profit.

    Vigo says she harvest Pinna nobilis without harming the clam - a claim disputed by the curator of the Muschelseide ("clam silk", in Eng. ususally sea silk) Museum in Basel, Switzerland.

    Curator Maeder has found at least 2 more women in #Sardinia who work with donated sea silk.

  3. Free #Gaia concert in Porto San Paolo tonight. And I've taken my habitual spot, in front of the sound engineers. Best sound in the house and nobody complains about my height. 😂 #sardinia

  5. Through innovative, interdisciplinary research, Sara Mura aims to ensure that the silent voices of the past are heard more clearly – such as those of the Punic people of Sardinia, about whom we know almost exclusively from written sources from a Roman, and therefore hostile, perspective. In their doctoral thesis, Sara examined the affordances and perceptions of the urban sacred landscape of the Punic site of Monte Sirai.

  7. Anyone know the name of these tiny chili peppers? A friend brought them back from Sardinia and is curious. I've managed to germinate a few so perhaps flowers in a month or so will help, but maybe their small size and origin is enough for an ID by an expert. #peppers #chili #capsicum #garden #gardening #sardinia #italy #cooking
