Museo del Sughero / Cork Museum, Calangianus
How is it possible that Calangianus, a remote town in the Gallura hinterland, was included in the last century among the 100 most industrialized municipalities in Italy? The answer is very simple: cork. The process, which officially began in 1851, soon made Calangianus a fortune: in a short time, workshops were built that employed hundreds of people from the surrounding villages. Finally, this resource, which had always been so widespread in the region, was exploited on a large scale. In fact, in 1906, cork was successfully presented at the International Exhibition in Milan. The first edition of the Cork Fair dates back to 1978.
