LULA

Lula is a town of 1,400 inhabitants 40 kilometers away from Nuoro.

Located in the territory of the Baronie; together with the municipalities of Siniscola, Posada, Torpè, Lodè, Onanì, Osidda, Orune and Bitti, it is part of the body called the "Union of Municipalities of Montalbo", established in 2008.

Lula is famous for its religious and culinary traditions, spectacular landscapes, prehistoric sites and mining history.

In fact, from the Neolithic to the recent past, it is linked to the exploitation of the silver and lead mines of Sos Enattos and Guzzurra-S'Arghentaria, now included in the Geomining Park of Sardinia.

Sos Enattos Mine

The Sos Enattos mine, already exploited by the Romans, was rediscovered in the mid-nineteenth century and passed to a Franco-Belgian mining company in 1905.

Subsequently passed to private individuals, it was taken over by Rimisa s.p.a. in 1951 so as to achieve notable development, which stopped between periodic crises with the definitive closure in 1996.

Today it is part of the Geo-mining, Historical and Environmental Park of Sardinia, recognized by UNESCO.

The mining villages of Guzzurra and S'Arghentaria, linked to the extraction of lead-silver minerals, remained active at least from the mid-nineteenth century.

At the top of a hill you can see the remains of the small village of Guzzurra with the management building, the workers' quarters and a cistern.

At one time there was also a small hospital.

In the Su Ergiolu mine, the building containing the steam engine of the extraction shaft, the chimney tower that discharged the fumes and the tanks for the water necessary for processing the mineral deserve mention.

MAC Lula

Widespread Museum of Contemporary Art of Lula

The Widespread Museum of Contemporary Art, MAC Lula, was born from the private collection of Domenico Fumagalli, who began to approach contemporary authors in the 2000s.

The collection presents two main strands: the surrealist and abstractionist one of the second half of the 20th century.

There is no shortage of individual works by artists active since the 2000s focused on artistic research that investigates with different materials, such as photography, sculpture, resin and other materials of a mixed and composite nature, reflections linked to contemporary society and its deepest contradictions.

The Lula Widespread Museum of Contemporary Art is mainly private in nature and its mission is to conserve, promote and share contemporary works of art by national and international authors with the public.

The museum also has the objective of contributing to the tourist development of Lula and the neighboring municipalities through exhibitions and various cultural activities that can involve the surrounding area, with the consequent enrichment of study and education in cultural and artistic matters.

The museum hosts the permanent exhibition "Elsa e lo spray. Tracce dell'umano", an unusual gallery of portraits and works made with various materials to tell the Italian society from the 50s to today.

The museum is open all year long.
