Description
The Bombyx mori – Orgosolo strain is linked to the historical tradition of silkworm farming in the territory of Orgosolo, an activity practiced by almost all families until the mid-twentieth century. This activity was intertwined with the production of a typical headdress used in everyday clothing, which later became an integral part of the traditional costume worn during religious festivals and folkloric celebrations, bearing witness to the deep connection between biodiversity, craftsmanship, and local culture.

Point of interest
Orgosolo
Orgosolo, in the heart of Barbagia, is an open-air museum, where art, identity and mountain landscapes come together to tell the story of a more authentic Sardinia. Each street becomes a visual narrative of history, social struggles and popular culture, offering an intense and authentic experience, far from the classic tourist circuits.
