The first edition of the CAVALCATA
SARDA through the images of the freres Lumiere
The Cavalcata Sarda is a fascinating exhibition
of Sardinian costumes, an amazing display of colors, a parade which
gathers thousands of people of all ages in their traditional
costumes from all over the island. The edition of 23 May 1999 celebrated the centenary of the Cavalcata organized in 1899, in
honor of King Umberto I and Queen Margherita on an official visit in
Sardinia. But it was also be the 50th edition of the modern Cavalcata, which was organized again in 1951 to welcome the
participants of a Rotary Club congress and has since become a yearly
spring festival.
