Giracuoregira

The artefact

Giracuoregira is an original decorative and functional object, the result of the collaboration between artist Alessio Tasca and Domo XIX Biennale dell’Artigianato Sardo. The Heart and the flame, a common iconographic element in Sardinian material culture, is a lucky charm, a souvenir, but being available in different forms and colours, it may also be embedded in floors, partition panels and much more, keeping its great symbolic and poetic value.
