CAGLIARI – THE CITY AT A GLANCE
“Every time I come to Cagliari, I would like to write a letter to declare my love for this city. It is one of those places with such a strong personality that returning here regenerates me as when I go back home” (Tiziano Ferro).
Cagliari is one of the most popular cities in the center of the Mediterranean sea. It may be because it is modern, organized and efficient or because it faces a beautiful sea. In Cagliari you immediately feel at home because the cuisine is very good and because you can catch the spirit of an European city, elegant, cultured and lively that promotes digital innovation and leaves room for young people.
