As well as the tradition linked to these boats that is disappearing and the idea of an ecomuseum that had to arise, also to preserve the latter, in the same locality, by the AVeLa Association, read Latin sail, led by Piero Ajello. Now, the idea has blossomed, because EMAcq was born in Sassari – the Ecomuseo del Mare e dell’Acqua, in the rooms of the former aqueduct, a Liberty building with green-colored facades overlooking Viale Adua.
The idea of the association and of the Municipality is to animate, here, a center of cultural, educational, informative activities on the history and culture of the sea and water, which also hosts a “Blue Library”, dedicated to the sea and inland waters. The opening has already taken place, in an smerimental way, and now the Ecomuseum restarts with a first program of meetings, called the “Wind of EMA events”.
