Ghilarza

Antonio Gramsci, political philosopher and founder of the Italian Communist Party, spent his formative years in this tiny Sardinian town in the Province of Oristano, where a house museum preserves his memory. Ghilarza also holds a 13th-century Romanesque church of San Palmerio, built in black-and-white trachite, and a 15th-century Aragonese Tower, alongside a café and restaurant scene that punches above the town's modest size.
