    Default Maskingannas

    The Maskingannas are masks from the town of Busachi (province of Oristano). In Sardinian tradition the maskinganna is a devil who inhabits the forests, infact the mask is constituted by an anthropomorphic goat, that in many cultures represents the personification of Satan.

    Some scholars says this is a remnant of European primitivism. These kind of masks one may find in different corners of Europe. Sardinia aside, f.ex also in Bulgaria and Romania.

    probably they date back to the Nuragic age, at least 2000 years before Christ; while others could also have some link with Greek-Roman mythology and Dionysian rituals; for example, there is a mask who depicts a wild beast called "Urthu or Urtzu" that could be a Sardinian version of the Greek-Roman "Orthus", an infernal two headed dog, brother of "Cerberus"; the Sardinian version is a man covered by furs, who acts like a wild beast, he is usually tied with a long chain held by masked men dressed like sheperds that try to control him
