In the heart of the historic center, the Casa Museo makes a fine display: an old Campidanese earthen house restored by the municipality, an important reminder of the past. Inside, a glimpse of the life of yesteryear is relived. Rita Cossu, the embroidery-jana seamstress, welcomes visitors in her pabillonese dress. Here there is the workshop, clothing display, bread and cheese making. Rita works wonders with the skirt pleats that characterize old-fashioned dresses: she uses an antique hand-operated pleating machine. Inside other collections: sacred vestments, is pingiadas of yesteryear. Rita’s real treasure is her dresses, a triumph of golden ears of corn and colorful flowers. The House Museum is not only an important ethnographic exhibit, it is a living place. It is an atelier where work is done in the sign of the ancestors, an ancient art that Rita guards and passes on by preserving the values of our grandmothers.
