Macomer is a charming town in central Sardinia threatened by depopulation. Renowned for its prehistoric landmarks and a historical economic boom that sparked an industrial revolution, Macomer also confronted a crisis that triggered substantial emigration.
Its story is similar to that of many other villages in Southern Europe, but this one has a happy ending. A group of youngsters who had left the island looking for opportunities eventually came back and joined forces to bring new energy to their village by addressing social issues through public art by organizing the renowned Festival della Resilienza.
