Filindeu (Sardinian : su filindeu) is a rare type of pasta from the Barbagia region of Sardinia. [1] It is made by pulling and folding semolina dough into very thin threads, which are laid in three layers on a tray called a fundu and dried to form textile-like sheets. The dried sheets are then broken into pieces and served in a mutton broth with pecorino sardo cheese. Filindeu is listed on the Ark of Taste. [2]
In the 17th century, a Nuorese bandit built a small church in Lula [3] as an ex voto to Saint Francis of Assisi for having been cleared of all charges against him. [4] For centuries since, on the nights of May 1 and October 4 (the feast day of Saint Francis in the General Roman Calendar), [5] pilgrims have travelled there on foot from Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Nuoro. [6] After a walk of several miles, the priors offer arriving pilgrims a dish of the filindeu and mutton soup. [7]
The recipe and making of the pasta for the soup, which is exclusively done by hand, is passed from generation to generation by the women of Lula. In modern times, there are only ten [8] women who know how to make the pasta. [9]
Grazia Maria Cosima Damiana Deledda was an Italian writer who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 "for her idealistically inspired writings which with plastic clarity picture the life on her native island [i.e. Sardinia] and with depth and sympathy deal with human problems in general". She was the first Italian woman to receive the prize, and only the second woman in general after Selma Lagerlöf was awarded hers in 1909.

Pecorino romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, often used for grating over pasta or other dishes. The name pecorino simply means 'ovine' or 'of sheep' in Italian; the name of the cheese, although protected, is a description rather than a brand: [formaggio] pecorino romano simply means 'sheep's [cheese] of Rome'.

Sardinia is probably the most culturally distinct of all the regions in Italy and, musically, is best known for the tenore polyphonic singing, sacred chants called gosos, the launeddas, an ancient instrument that consists of a set of three single-reed pipes, all three mouth-blown simultaneously using circular breathing, with two chanters and one drone and the cantu a chiterra, a monodic song that is accompanied by guitar, widespread mainly in the center and north of the island.
The cuisine of Sardinia is the traditional cuisine of the island of Sardinia, and the expression of its culinary art. It is characterised by its own variety and by the fact of having been enriched through a number of interactions with the other Mediterranean cultures while retaining its own identity. Sardinia's food culture is strictly divided into food from the land and food from the sea, reflecting the island's historical vicissitudes and especially its geographic landscapes, spacing from the coastline to the ragged mountains of the interior. The Sardinian cuisine is considered part of the Mediterranean diet, a nutritional model that was proclaimed by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.
