The museum of the artist Pinuccio Sciola and the place where you can admire the biggest collection of his sculptures. Have you ever hear music coming from a stone? Discover the sound of basalt and limestone thanks to Pinuccio Sciola's "pietre sonore", sounding stones.
We were not familiar with the work of Pinuccio Sciola, and it was an extremely pleasant discovery. The visit to the garden-museum, also thanks to the skill and courtesy of our young guide, is an experience not to be missed.
Some friends and I spent a truly pleasant morning discovering the works of art that enrich every corner of San Sperate. At the end of the tour, we visited the sound garden and were enchanted by Sciola's genius and the beauty of the sounds that the stones produced, under the expert hands of the guide. Highly recommended!
The guided tour of the village of San Sperate among the murals and sound stones of Pinuccio Sciola was truly a positive experience. The attention to detail with which the inhabitants preserve this museum town is commendable. Thank you Arasolè for guiding us through this experience.
Very nice open-air museum with the works of Pinoccio Sciola, with clear explanations about the singing stones. The lady guided in very good English
Beautiful tour through the streets of San Sperate, a real open-air museum! Raffaela and Valentina guided us with preparation, passion and sympathy to discover the history and meaning of so many of the beautiful murals and installations that the country museum offers us. At the end of the tour, we were then accompanied to visit the Sound Garden of Pinuccio Sciola, a magical place that gives a sensory experience absolutely to do. Super recommended experience!
Highly recommended visit to any art fan. Sciola’s work is wonderful and surprising and it is a real pleasure to walk around the village seeing all the works, so different, that populate it. Valentina is an excellent guide who provides a lot of information and makes the visit as pleasant as possible. I am very happy to have been able to make this excursion.
Pleasant walk among the murals and views of the country that exudes art at every corner. Incredible immersion in the ancient soul of the stone and genius of Sciola. Thank you Valentina!
On a cold winter Sunday we treated ourselves to a visit to discover San Sperate accompanied by two very good guides. The visit ended with the sound notes of Pinuccio Sciola's garden. Also recommended for families with children
Interesting tour of San Sperate with an exceptional, knowledgeable and engaging guide. Highly recommended.
Nice visit, not boring and with the right flowers. Articulate but not heavy. Super recommended to discover the country!
A beautiful guided tour of the art of our island, thanks to the expertise and passion of Valentina, our guide. The soro garden of Pinuccio Sciola exciting, you can not miss visiting. The only flaw not being able to fully enjoy the murals scattered throughout the country because of the cars parked in front. I think the city administration should try to find a fair compromise with the citizens. Overall I suggest a visit to everyone, locals and tourists, with the hope that this piece of our art will find more visibility because it is still little known and not proposed perhaps by the tour operators themselves.
" Tribute to a great artist " The professionalism, sympathy and passion of Raffaela have allowed us to learn more about life the works of Pinuccio Sciola and to appreciate the museum town of San Sperate and its murals.
Beautiful tour among the murals and art installations of San Sperate, which hides works of art in every corner. Living the country with the guidance of Raffaela was exciting, as was the visit of the Sciola Sound Garden where his daughter Maria explained his works and made the stones "play". An experience that blind people can do, because it involves all the senses.
Saturday night I received the message from Raffaela di #Arasolè: a place had opened up for the tour "Among the alleys of San Sperate: discovering the "Museum-Country", which we had talked about in the morning... despite the Sunday alarm clock, I don't think about it more than 5 minutes andI confirm! A #SanSperate place that I have always wanted to visit, along with the #Giardino Sonoro - Pinuccio Sciola that I should have seen more than a year ago with the special guide of my friend Tomaso Sciola, Pinuccio's son, and that this time I could discover with his daughter Maria. He welcomed us one clear, bright and cold morning in January: meeting at the megalithic garden with Valentina, a warm and accommodating welcome, as if among people at home. From there we snuck into the alleys of the historic center of San Sperate until we reached after two hours the Sound Garden, while Raffaela with wisdom, passion and an inimitable sympathy told us the history and cultural revolution of this small village. Alone, I traveled with his stories following the increasingly warm glimmers of sunshine, supplanted by so much human beauty transmitted from places. Rusted bikes as if they were coming out of the wall that tell the journey of the miners of the Iglesiente, painted with figures of Sardinian iconography that speak of nature, of the population in its daily life according to the eyes of local and foreign artists, now also attracted by the annual Cuncambias festival. A social story and political complaint skilfully conveyed by Arasolè in the choice of murals to be observed, in the details to be told with enthralling enthusiasm. Until you reach the discovery at the Sound Garden, just the appetizer of an adventure that certainly deserves a slow and dedicated time, letting the soul be transported by the melodies of the stones... Amazing! A local yet deeply international journey, of the past yet so current, in a "time that has no time", to use the words of the great visionary genius who was Pinuccio Sciola! Absolutely recommended this journey through time and beauty with #Arasolè!
The tour was very interesting both for the works and for the ability of the guide Rafaela who accompanied us with professionalism along the way
Beautiful day! Maximum compliance with anti-COVID rules, divided into small groups. Valentina and Raffaela with their preparation, simplicity and infinite kindness and sympathy always give tours suitable for adults and children! The rest is done by the places where they accompany you with so much passion. Thank you!!!
A nice tour, relaxing and educational, suitable for everyone, from the oldest to the youngest. Very kind and prepared guides, who despite distancing and anti-COVID procedures were able to give us a beautiful experience.
About 15 km from Cagliari, San Sperate offers a real open-air museum , where we walked with our guide Raffaela , who also introduced us to the "Sound Garden of Pinuccio Sciola". A slightly different excursion with a small tasting of a Sardinian pastry. Raffaela speaks fluent French , and his warm presence allowed us to share a very pleasant moment. Monique and Raymond
