Patron saint festival In 279 days
Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene
📅 Every year, on 22 July
On 22 July Morgongiori, a municipality of 777 inhabitants in the province of Oristano, celebrates its patroness Saint Mary Magdalene (santa Maria Maddalena).
On Monte Arci obsidian was quarried and worked, and the workshops are still there to be seen. In the kitchen, meanwhile, there is a pasta that can only be made by hand: is lorighittas, two threads of dough twisted between the fingers into a little plait closed into a ring. Loriga, in Sardinian, means just that: a ring.
Three prehistoric monuments in this territory carry the same name, that of Luxia Arrabiosa: a domus de janas they call her oven, another hollow, and a menhir. Among the rock walls there is also a natural shape they call the Warrior's Head. And in a house at Morgongiori, in Sergio Atzeni's novel «Passavamo sulla terra leggeri», old Antonio tells the new keeper the whole history of the Sardinians.
