Il muto di Gallura : $b Racconto storico sardo

Set against the rugged hills of Gallura in the years after the 1849 uprising, this tale follows a solitary figure whose silence hides a storm of revenge and longing. As he wanders the craggy paths around the remote stone cottage of San Gavino, the flickering lamp in the window becomes his only beacon, illuminating the bitter feuds that have scarred the community of Aggius. The narrative weaves real names, places and dates into vivid scenes of blood‑stained vendettas, exposing how corrupted authorities enabled the cycle of violence.

Through the eyes of Bastiano, the mute at the story’s core, listeners hear the clash between honor and cruelty that defined Sardinian life in the mid‑nineteenth century. His steadfast rifle, a constant companion, contrasts with the fleeting light that haunts his nights, hinting at a deeper struggle between love, hatred and the hope for redemption. The careful, almost documentary, style invites you to feel the weight of history while the personal torment of one man brings the era’s turmoil to intimate, human life.
