The master of “Bisso marino”
Chiara Vigo
Chiara Vigo is a master of ancient weaving who keeps alive inherited knowledge through family direct transmission, a material and immaterial heritage which passed from Master to Master for many generations.
In his 70 paintings – many of them preserved in Sant’Antioco municipality, some are exhibited in museums such as Der Kulturen Museum in Basel or the National Museum of Arts in Rome – we can recognize: lions in defense of women, lapwings in defense of peace, trees of life, moons and nuragic ships. Each of them contain symbolic meaning. They are made using an ancient manual loom with linen warp and fine linen woven with nails.

The island of Sant'Antioco, in which is located the homonymous town, is the largest of the Sardinian islands with its 109 km², and it is the fourth largest in Italy after Sicily, Sardinia and the Island of Elba. It is about 84 km away from Cagliari and is connected to the mother island thanks to an artificial isthmus and a bridge opened in the early eighties. The territory of the island is divided between the municipality of Sant'Antioco, the most populated city (which stands on the ruins of the Phoenician-Punic and Roman city) and Calasetta, second center of the island. There are also the small tourist village of Maladroxia, which belongs to Sant'Antioco, and Cussorgia in the municipality of Calasetta.
