Our collective imagination has been captured by the simple elegance of the stately, lone lighthouses that dot the Sardinian hills and coasts, as well as by their untouched, picturesque natural environments. The lighthouse has evolved into an enduring image of salvation, tenacity, and heroic folklore rather than just being aesthetically pleasing. In the thorough and intriguing book Mysterious Lighthouses of Sardinia, you'll learn: - Profiles of each lighthouse in Sardegna, from the first built in 1843 on the island of Razzoli in the La Maddalena Archipelago to the second built at Capo Testa in Santa Teresa di Gallura two years later, in 1845, to the lighthouse of the Cavoli island in Villasimius (1856), the one of Capo Ferro (1858) on the island's northern tip; Punta Scorno all'Asinara (1859), and, finally, Isola della Bocca in Olbia (1887).
