The Tonnara Museum is located in the city of Stintino in the province of Sassari. The Museum deals with telling the schools of fish that follow the currents of the Mediterranean, of sea crews that await their arrival, and of a system of nets that intercepts their passage. It describes the traditional tuna fishing method, practiced in the Asinara Gulf until the last century. Outlines the lives of the men who caught and worked tuna with effort and tenacity. It contains the identity of an entire town, Stintino, whose history is closely linked to that of the Tonnara Saline. Today, it perpetuates the memory of men and of the sea. The visitor will be led on a multimedia journey, an audiovisual and musical itinerary of great suggestion. A series of videos, with narration in Italian and subtitles in English, reconstruct the events of the Tonnara Saline, the history of Stintino and the island of Asinara. Vintage images, full of charm and ritual, flow on the screens, alternating with intense and passionate testimonies. On display the tools used in the trap, the documentation of the same, the diaries, old newspaper articles, the clothes used during the slaughter, the reproductions of the boats and the trap. Also part of the exhibition are some selected works by Sardinian artists who painted the life of the trap, from Stanis Dessy to Ausonio Tanda, from Nani Tedeschi to Angelo Maggi.
