The Academy of Popular Traditions “Città di Tempio” in 1981 organizes the First International demonstration of the Folklore of Tempio Pausania, to introduce to our people, the several cultures of the whole world, to compare our traditions with those of the five continents and to strengthen friendships between different peoples. With great sacrifices, the Association starts this adventure which becomes very important in the whole of Sardinia. In fact, this demonstration represents the first event that has been organized on our island. The International Festival in Tempio has, for us, an important meaning because it is more than simple “meeting” of folklorist Groups. With the experience of these years, we are proud of the validity and the genuineness of our folklore, which is expression of the Sardinian culture and its people. Furthermore, folkloric experiences are free of racial and political conditioning and marginalization. From the 22nd edition of 2002 the international events of the Folklore are dedicated to Isa Bionda, president and founder of the association.
