Once a humble fishing village, Stintino was founded in 1885 by 45 Ligurian families forced to leave Asinara Island after the Kingdom of Italy designated it as a site for a penal colony and a quarantine station. In 1988, Stintino became an independent municipality and, thanks to its stunning location between two natural inlets, the old and new port area, Porto Vecchio and Porto Nuovo, it gradually transformed into a popular tourist destination, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world.
Located about 50 kilometres from Sassari, roughly a 45-minute drive, Stintino is a haven of unspoilt nature. This slender strip of land in northern Sardinia is embraced by the crystal-clear, deep-blue waters of the Sardinian Sea and the Gulf of Asinara. Its coastline includes breathtaking beaches, including La Pelosa. Ranked among the most beautiful in Italy and Europe, La Pelosa enchants visitors with its fine, white sand, which gradually transitions into the reddish hues of nearby Cala Lupo, where the landscape becomes more rugged and rocky.
On a small island facing La Pelosa beach stands one of Stintino’s most iconic landmarks: the Pelosa Tower. This 10-metre-high defensive structure was built in 1678 under the direction of the Aragonese family and is among Sardinia’s many historic watchtowers.
Visiting the Tonnara Museum offers an immersive journey into the village’s rich history and identity. The museum displays a fascinating collection of objects and artefacts related to tuna fishing, which was once the primary economic activity for locals before tourism emerged. Exhibits include fishermen’s clothing, traditional tools, logbooks, and a detailed scale model of a tuna fishery. Opened in 2016, the museum is conveniently located along the scenic road leading into the town.
Along this very scenic road, a new bicycle and pedestrian path has recently been constructed. To ensure it is properly lit, Disano was commissioned to supply the lighting, selecting the Bitta luminaire specifically for this project.
This is a truly distinctive luminaire, with a design inspired by harbours and seaside resorts. Technically advanced, its LED light sources deliver excellent lighting, significant energy savings, and an exceptionally long service life. The corten finish, with its warm, earthy tones, further enhances the connection between the Bitta luminaire and its surrounding environment.
Complementing its technical features is a consistent, high-quality light output that not only improves visibility but also instils a strong sense of safety and confidence for those using the Sassari pathway.
Thanks to the innovative lighting system developed by Disano, the Stintino cycle and pedestrian path is now perfectly illuminated, allowing users to travel safely and comfortably, especially after sunset.
