Il suo alto campanile scuro svetta nella campagna. Scorgerlo è già un’emozione, primo assaggio di ciò che proverai quando, lasciata la statale 131 per immetterti nella Sassari-Olbia, dopo pochi chilometri raggiungerai la chiesa della Santissima Trinità. Ti resteranno impresse perfezione altera e veste bicromatica, bianca e nera, data da conci di calcare e basalto, che contrasta con il verde attorno. La sua maestosità domina la piana di Saccargia, nel territorio di Codrongianos, dai primi decenni del XII secolo. La prima testimonianza è in un condaghe, annoverata tra i possedimenti dei monaci camaldolesi. Nel documento è citata la data di ampliamento (1116): la chiesa fu eretta, infatti, sulle rovine di un monastero, del quale noterai alcune strutture superstiti accanto.
Si racconta che ogni giorno venisse dal pascolo s’acca argia per offrire il latte ai frati e si adagiasse come in atto di preghiera. Il nome della basilica non deriva, però, dall’espressione logudorese per ‘vacca pezzata’ ma dall’evoluzione del latino Sacraria. La piana dove sorge, infatti, fin dalla preistoria, ospitò culti religiosi. Qui, in pellegrinaggio verso la basilica di san Gavino di Porto Torres, il giudice Costantino e sua moglie Marcusa avrebbero pernottato, ospiti dei monaci, e, in seguito a una sacra apparizione, disposero la costruzione della chiesa, intitolata a Vergine e Trinità e affidata ai camaldolesi.
A maestranze pisane furono affidati i lavori di ampliamento tra 1118 e 1120: allungamento dell’aula, innalzamento delle pareti, nuova facciata e altissimo campanile quadrangolare a nord-ovest. Da allora la fisionomia è stata ritoccata solo da un restauro a inizio Novecento. La basilica è lunga venti metri, larga sette e alta 14. L’impianto è a croce commissa con una sala unica e transetto. La facciata presenta tre ordini: nel primo vedrai un portico con tetto a capanna, intervallato da sette archi e sormontato da architrave. Dalla navata, attraverso archi a tutto sesto, accederai ai bracci del transetto, dove si aprono due cappelle voltate a crociera. Dietro ci sono tre absidi. Alla fine del XII secolo la parte interna di quella centrale, più alta e ampia, fu affrescata da un artista (forse) umbro-laziale: è l’unico esempio in Sardegna di pittura murale romanica. Rimarrai ammirato dal ciclo di affreschi: il Cristo in mandorla con serafini, angeli e arcangeli, la Madonna orante con i santi e scene della vita di Cristo, che ricordano i coevi dipinti di san Pietro di Galtellì.
Sardegna (Olbia).... La Principessa Susanna da Agrisole
E passato un mese, ormai, da quando è sparita... Forse qualcuno l'ha portata via... Forse si fidava troppo degli uomini, chissà...
Ricordo ogni momento vissuto con lei, e non riesco a vedere il video senza sentire una stretta al cuore...
... Susanna è stata una delle cose più belle che mi sia capitata nella vita.
E' nel mio cuore per sempre...:-)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Sardinia ( sar-DIN-ee-ə; Italian: Sardegna [sarˈdeɲɲa]; Sardinian: Sardìgna [saɾˈdiɲɲa] or Sardìnnia [saɾˈdinja]; Sassarese: Sardhigna; Gallurese: Saldigna; Algherese: Sardenya; Tabarchino: Sardegna) is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily and before Cyprus). It is located west of the Italian Peninsula and to the immediate south of the French island of Corsica.
Sardinia is politically a region of Italy, whose official name is Regione Autonoma della Sardegna / Regione Autònoma de Sardigna (Autonomous Region of Sardinia), and enjoys some degree of domestic autonomy granted by a specific Statute. It is divided into four provinces and a metropolitan city, with Cagliari being the region's capital and its largest city as well. Sardinia's indigenous language and the other minority languages (Sassarese, Corsican Gallurese, Algherese Catalan and Ligurian Tabarchino) spoken on the island are recognized by the regional law and enjoy equal dignity with Italian.Due to the variety of its ecosystems, which include mountains, woods, plains, largely uninhabited territories, streams, rocky coasts and long sandy beaches, the island has been defined metaphorically as a micro-continent. In the modern era, many travelers and writers have exalted its beauty, remained untouched until the contemporary age and immersed in a landscape that houses the vestiges of the Nuragic civilization.
