Under the sea of Buggerru: shoot the enchantment

Luciano Concas, the doctor of Arbus, enamored of his village and the coast of that, tells the story of a passion nurtured with the constancy of a man bewitched by the beauty of the places to which he feels to belong, body and soul. Luciano Concas explores the seabed and photographs the wonders when it, along with the friends who share with him the same attraction, the sea gives them permission to be filmed in its most secret recesses. Because the sea shows its surprises to those it wants and those who respect the silence and guess the paths.

We are in Buggerru on west coast of Sardinia, well known by miners and those who want now to visit the remains of ancient mining activity - perhaps Roman Metalla was here - and that, in ''800, grew in proportions as important to employ a considerable number of people, often exploited and abused. It is famous the bloody repression of the strike of September 4 1904 which killed three miners and injured many others and which provoked the first general strike in Italy. Buggerru was built in 1864 with the expansion of the mining activities and today it is a small village of just over one thousand inhabitants. It has a port, a coast, the sea and beaches of the most beautiful imaginable.

The high and rocky coasts hide some beautiful beaches and a sea bed interconnected with canyons, gorges and valleys embedded in the rock. The environmental value is very high, precious and delicate, as we see from these extraordinary images of places and animals that show bright colors or are camouflaged mingling themselves with vegetation and surrounding rocks. There remains the mystery of the deepest of the caves that perhaps it is wiser to leave untouched.
