Le Botteghe su Gologone

Born in the heart of Barbagia, Sardinia—a land rich in wild beauty and cultural depth—Giovanna Palimodde has nurtured a profound passion for art and craftsmanship that reflects her roots. Guided by talented mentors Liliana Cano in painting and Giovanni Antonio Sulas in architecture, Giovanna has created a space that beautifully honors both nature and creativity.

In 2008, she transformed the former stables of the Su Gologone Experience Hotel into the enchanting Botteghe d’Arte, where every corner resonates with the vibrant energy of Sardinia. Drawing inspiration from her adventures on horseback through this stunning landscape, Giovanna is dedicated to preserving the essence of the land and its artistry.

Central to this creative haven are Franca, Tonina, and Maria—the skilled artisans who bring Giovanna's visions to life. Each piece produced is thoughtfully conceived, utilising materials such as Sardinian orbace, iron, and cork. From intricately embroidered cushions that honour Oliena traditions to exquisite ceramics and murano glass pieces reflecting Sardinia’s rich artistic heritage, every collection tells a distinctive story.

The Botteghe are more than just a showcase; they celebrate craftsmanship that transcends the ordinary. Each textile product is meticulously handcrafted and hand-painted, ensuring that every item is not only unique but also an exclusive creation by Giovanna Palimodde. Here, artistry is intricately woven into the fabric of culture and tradition.
