Project description

Su Gogolone houses a rich collection of artworks created by important 20th-century Sardinian artists such as Ciusa and the Melis brothers, which furnish and embellish its rooms. The works are varied in nature, paintings and statues, ceramics and textiles, and span various eras. The initiative stems from the passion for art of Giovanna Palimodde, who was inspired by Liliana Cano for painting and Giovanni Antonio Sulas for architecture and furnishings, continuing his work of enhancing the artifacts of local craftsmanship. Sulas contributed to the realization of the restaurant founded by Giovanna's father, taking care of its architectural details, interiors and furnishings, modeled after the ancient houses of Oliena. The hotel's furnishings are the original ones from the 1930s with the apothecary's shelf, the pasta maker's cupboard, and the carpenter's table, now used to display the works of local artists, cabinetmakers, blacksmiths and potters. The project aims to make this cultural heritage available to guests and to publicize the work of these important Sardinian artists. For this purpose, the hotel has published an "Art Paths" brochure in Italian and English that allows guests to appreciate the collection on their own.
