(ANSA) - CAGLIARI, 09 OCT - A maxi pack of 15 kilos of sand and pebbles from Tuscany to Sardinia: this is a new return after being collected about 40 years ago on the coasts of the island, including Piscinas and Is Arutas.
A letter from Elena, a tourist who came from Badina - in the 80s and 90s - came to spend her holidays in Sardinia, received by the Sardegna Rubata eDepredata association.
"Recently emptying the family cellar I found some old crates with my games of the sea, rummaging through those memories I had a blow to the heart .... now faded bottles with sand taken away by a child perhaps for memory or perhaps not to detach too much from that place of the heart - he writes in his letter published by the association on Facebook together with the photos of the package and its contents - Unacosa was clear to me right away .... this sand must return to its place at any cost .... Together with my 5-year-old daughter, we caressed and smelled that piece of Sardinia and, taking care not to waste even a grain, we packed it with a solemn promise, we'll see you soon ... We entrust it to you because we are sure it will return to its place. PS Thanks for that what you do, you are an example for everyone ".
"It is another insignificant drop in the middle of the sea but it is yet another encouraging sign", commented by the Association which recently received other "packages" including the one with pink sand taken from Budelli, also about 40 years ago.
