Mamoiada
Mamoiada, a small village in Sardinia's mountainous Barbagia region, is known across the island for its traditional carnival, in which participants wear the distinctive wooden masks of the mamuthones and issohadores. A local museum houses these masks alongside examples from elsewhere in Sardinia and Europe. The village sits in wine-producing country in the hills southwest of Nuoro, with a concentration of cafés and churches that exceeds what its size might suggest.
