Over the years, Salvatore Puggioni has exhibited his works in numerous exhibitions, both in Sardinia and in the rest of Italy, gaining appreciation for his ability to convey authentic emotions through the universal language of art. His painting is a vibrant tribute to the wild beauty and proud soul of his land, an invitation to discover and cherish the roots of a rich and ancient cultural identity.
