The project "Mojos e Marigas" takes its name from the ancient definitions related to "containers" or, more precisely, units of measurement for solids (e.g., grain) and liquids (e.g., wine or milk). It already tells a story of agricultural tradition and a time when not everyone owned a scale or a calibrated container for measuring kilos or liters.
Mojos e Marigas is dedicated to promoting the agri-food excellences of the Samugheo territory, incorporating artisanal crafts as complementary elements. The main goal of the event is to enhance local excellence through a marketing and promotion strategy aimed at highlighting the quality and authenticity of products made using traditional methods passed down from generation to generation.
On December 5th, the 2026 edition of *Mojos e Marigas*—a festival weaving together food, craftsmanship, and culture—kicks off in Samugheo. The day begins with a trek to discover Castel Medusa, alongside artisanal workshops and a roundtable discussion focused on development opportunities for young people and families in the island’s interior. Streets and squares come alive with exhibitions, tastings, creative workshops for all ages, and traveling performances. In the afternoon, the MURATS Museum hosts the opening of the Sardinia Fiber Art Biennale. The festivities continue late into the evening, featuring concerts, live music, and shared moments of conviviality.
On December 6th, Samugheo transforms into a vast open-air workshop, offering a chance to discover the local flavors, knowledge, and traditions. The village streets come alive with demonstrations of bread-making and cheesemaking, workshops on weaving, embroidery, and gastronomy, as well as tastings and masterclasses focused on wines from the Mandrolisai region. There are also opportunities to explore the local area, along with creative activities for children, traditional games, and traveling performances. Amidst local products, handicrafts, music, and social gatherings, the day culminates in a collective celebration in the town square—a tribute to the identity and community spirit of Samugheo.
Samugheo is the guardian of a rich intangible heritage, ranging from dance to traditional clothing, from language to actual rituals passed down from generation to generation, which have become customs in every home: bread making, winemaking, and weaving. To these customs, one must add the production of cheeses, sausages, meats, and honey. This is the focus of our event: to tell you, show you, and let you taste these excellences, which carry the scent of identity, love, and passion for the land.

Samugheo is a charming village of about 2,500 inhabitants, located in the historic region of Mandrolisai.
The municipal area covers approximately 81 square kilometers. It is a place rich in cultuaral and historical evidence that tells of a natural predisposition for agriculture.
Its landscape and morphology, characterized by plateaus and deep gorges, have acted as true walls that, besides keeping the village isolated until the 1950s, without modern roads, cut it off from the ancient “Roman roads,” fostering a small subsistence economy locally. Historical evidence is abundant, telling us that the area was already inhabited between 5500-5000 BC. Near the present-day Castel Medusa (in local toponymy, “Sa Conca ‘e su Casteddu”), there are several caves still geologically alive.
