Hiking
Over time it went from an agricultural colony to a maximum security prison in the nefarious 70s and 80s (period in which General Dalla Chiesa indicated it as the institute with the highest security index in Italy). After having therefore been a place of imprisonment for exponents of terrorism, kidnappers of the Sardinian soul, kidnappings and elements of organized crime, the Fornelli prison ceased its function in 1997 and can still be visited today.
