Tonara

Tonara has served as a centre of chestnut cultivation in Sardinia’s Barbagia region since the nineteenth century. Set on the western slopes of the Gennargentu massif, the town lies in an upland landscape of woods and pastoral country, far from Sardinia’s coastal resorts. Chestnuts remain central to local identity, and Tonara is also known across the island for torrone, a nougat traditionally made with honey, egg whites and nuts. Workshops still produce the large Sardinian cowbells called campanacci, linking the town to the island’s pastoral culture.
