Museums in Cala Gonone and Dorgali

The variety of landscapes of Dorgali and Cala Gonone is reflected by the heterogeneity of the dorgalese artistic and cultural heritage. Emblematic examples are the Archaeological Museum that collects materials from numerous archaeological sites and the Sala Salvatore Fancello, hosting the wonderful works of the dorgalese artist.

We also recommend the Parco Museo S'Abba Frisca, hosting an interesting ethnographic route (with more than 4000 items on display) in a botanical garden. The Centro per l'educazione ambientale ( Environmental Education Center) of Calagonone hosts the Museum of the Monk Seal, which contains a large collection of local Sardinian fauna.

Many call Salvatore Fancello a meteor in the Italian art scene of the '900. The eclecticism and the beauty of his works seem to be inspired by the variety of landscapes of the territory of Dorgali.

The artist just five years after graduating from the Institute for Industrial Arts of Monza attained remarkable results: VI he won at the Milan Triennale, the Granpremio section of Art Schools, he received the Diploma of Honor at the VII Triennale, created the complex for the lunchroom Milan's Bocconi University,He has successfully tested techniques and materials in the graphic and in the ceramic field.
