Casa San Gio • Sardinia • Italy

🌖This Weekend

Buio presto

A good one.

Friday is San Saturnino,
the city’s own saint,
martyred here in 304, the story goes,
with a basilica at Piazza San Cosimo
built over the spot a couple of centuries later
and standing there ever since.
Go inside if you can.
It is one of the oldest churches
in the whole Mediterranean,
and most people walk past it every day.

Saturday is Halloween.
Sunday is Ognissanti,
when the shops shut,
the families all eat at the same hour,
and the city goes quiet
in the best way it does.

Here is the weekend.

Tonight.
Our favJazz Alarm, with Basilico and Morandini,
a special set from the Premio Saba.

Friday morning.
The procession for the patron saint.
10:15 from the Cathedral up in Castello,
down through the city to the basilica.

Friday night.
Santa Maria de la Psicodelia, from 21:00.
Listen carefully, eyes open.

Sunday.
Domenica al Museo.

the Pinacoteca from 9:30,
last entry at 18:45.

And one worth leaving the city for.
Su Prugadoriu in Seui, up in Ogliastra,
running until Sunday.
Workshops, tastings, masks,
and the old festa po is animas,
the Sardinian version of these days,
older than the one you know.
Free, all day, and worth the drive.

For everything else happening at Halloween,
the full list is over at @thisweek.cagliari

Around all of it,
the part nobody programmes.
The warm afternoon in the middle of the week,
whichever one it turns out to be.
Aperitivo at six, because it is already dark.
The walk home past lit windows.

The song this week.
Buonanotte fiorellino, Francesco De Gregori.

Buon fine settimana.
