Why visit
Lanusei is where Edina Altara died on 11 April 1983; from 1942 she drew for Bellezza, the magazine directed by Gio Ponti, who brought her into the interiors of the transatlantic liners.
Origins and history
The Salesians built their first house in Sardinia at Lanusei on 14 June 1902, and the importance of the clergy in the town is due above all to them. The excavations in the area began in 1837 and continued with mixed fortunes into the early decades of the last century; in 1956 a giants' tomb was identified, and a second one came to light in 1964. Lanusei is the capital, together with Tortolì, of the province of Ogliastra, and the least populous provincial capital in Italy.
