The house, located in the city’s historic center, was built in the late 1800s by Mr. and Mrs. Luigi Spiga and Raffaella Tocco, great-grandparents of the current owners. Consisting of morè rooms, it is divided into two floors erected with “ladiri” load-bearing walls and according to the typical architecture of Campidanese houses, with a loggia exposed to the sun. Mr. Spiga practiced the cooper’s trade and taught the art to both his son Ignatius and numerous practitioners, while his wife, an expert embroiderer, taught the art of embroidery to many students. The house was built according to the peasant economy of the time: there was a large courtyard at the entrance and, to the right, the warehouse (su magasinu) used for processing barrels. The inner loggia was dedicated to the workshop of embroiderers learning the art. In front of the loggia, the traditional lemon tree and the well for water supply, which still exists, could not be missed.
