ma | re ("mare" in English means "sea")
Poetto is the town beach of Cagliari, the largest and most
populous urban centre of Sardinia.
This beach has always been the flagship of the city, with its fine
and thin white sand and its “casotti”, little buildings midway
between an hanging room and a little beach house, removed at the
end of Eighties. At their place, along the 8 kilometers and more of
dark sand, currently, disharmonic beach resorts alternate with
crumbling structures abandoned to themselves.
Few years ago, furthermore, an unscrupulous attempt, trying to
restore the old superfine white sand typical of the beach, has
changed color and grain size of the strand creating a coast made
by dark and very coarse sand.
Between the simple and infinite greatness of the sea and men's
action who often, from ten years about on this coast, mean mess
and decline, people of Cagliari who has knew the real beauty of
the Poetto compare with what it was and what it is now.
