Rai world / Events and news

In the appointment with “Ulysses, the pleasure of discovery” broadcast tomorrow at 21.25 on Rai 1, we will go to the discovery of one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean: Sardinia. Alberto Angela travels to an unusual Sardinia, far from the most famous tourist destinations: a unique land, in search of colors, sounds, smells and signs that characterize it. The color of the sea and the stone. The sound of the wind and voices. The smell of cistus and helichrysum. The signs of the many civilizations that from time to time have invaded it, without ever dominating it. An island that is almost a continent. From the beaches of Maddalena and Asinara to the mines of Sulcis, from the stones of the nuraghi to the Roman remains, from the basilica of Saccargia to the walls of Alghero: a tale punctuated by stories, traditions, legends that make this land a magical and mysterious place. The great English traveler Herbert Lawrence defined it as follows: “Sardinia is another thing … Crests of hills like moorland … that are lost, perhaps, towards a group of peaks … Enchanting space around and distance to travel, nothing of finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself ”.

Don Alessandro Santoro is a priest without a parish. He celebrates mass in a prefabricated building in Le Piagge, a poor and disadvantaged neighborhood of Florence. A priest against the tide who often clashed with the vision of a Church anchored in the past, paying for his radical choices in person. In Trieste Lorena Fornasir, a retired psychologist, treats the tortured bodies of human beings every day forced to march for months along the route that reaches the heart of Europe from the peripheries of the world. With the help of her husband, Gian Andrea Franchi, and the volunteers of the “Linea d’Ombra” association, Lorena performs a gesture that she brings back to the sacred: she washes and treats the mangled feet of migrants.
