This weekly event, held every Tuesday evening throughout the summer, is an opportunity to enjoy a complete cultural experience, discovering the tradition, art, and hospitality of Gallura. The heart of the event is the evening market along Via Roma, which transforms into a lively open-air market. Here you will find many artisanal products, from traditional Aggius carpets to unique jewellery made with local materials. You can discover wooden and inlaid handicrafts, cork works, scented candles, genuine jams, and typical costumes. You can also admire collections of swimwear and beach towels inspired by the designs and colours of traditional carpets.
For the occasion, the village also hosts performances and itinerant shows, book presentations, and workshops for children. The experience in Aggius would not be complete without tasting the culinary delights of Gallura. During Tuesday in the Village, you can participate in food and wine tours in collaboration with local wineries and taste specialities such as “li Frisjoli”, Carnival fritters, “suppa cuata”, Gallura soup, and “li bruglioni”, traditional ravioli.
The village also offers a journey into culture and history. Aggius, awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club, is nestled among majestic granite rocks and cork forests. This picturesque village is known for its intertwined alleys, hidden squares, ancient churches, and museums that tell an ancient story.
While strolling through the granite alleys, you can discover murals and artworks by Sardinian artists like Simone Sanna and Josephine Sassu. Everything began with Maria Lai’s stay in Aggius. The project AAAperto has now transformed Aggius into an open-air museum, with contributions from famous artists such as Tellas, Giovanni Campus, Rosanna Rossi, Zaza Calzia, and many others. The village’s museums, including the MEOC and the Museum of Banditry, offer a fascinating journey into the past: the MEOC, one of the largest ethnographic museums on the island, hosts a “traditional house” and collections of costumes and choral songs, while the Museum of Banditry recounts the compelling history of local banditry, celebrated in the novel “Il Muto di Gallura” and in the film by Matteo Fresi.
