Sino a non moltissimi anni fa in certe zone della Sardegna fra le quali la Planargia, terra dove sono nato, agiva una figura che ha un nome terribile S'accabadora colei che finisce, arrivava all'imbrunire ma non furtivamente, era attesa, vestita di nero portava con se un martello di olivastro e altri attrezzi, nella casa dovevano essere tolte tutte le immagini sacre perché S'accabadora operava fuori dalla legge e dalla religione, il suo compito era accompagnare alla morte i sofferenti quelli senza speranza, dopo un piccolo cerimoniale assestava un colpo di martello al moribondo e lo finiva è questo il significato del suo nome, accabare finire. Ma domani vi darò altre informazioni su questa sinistra figura che aveva un compito ingrato ma necessario nella società sarda di un tempo. ------------------------------------------------------Per saperne di più ------------------------------------ S'accabadora Pianalzesa è una maschera giovane, nata quest'anno da un gruppo di donne e ideata da Tata Carboni. Si è voluto raffigurare in modo simbolico la figura di questa donna detta accabadora. In passato aveva il compito di porre fine all'agonia delle persone malate terminali, quindi quando per loro non c'era più la possibilità di guarire. Questa donna inquietante è sempre stata avvolta dal mistero, tanto che a oggi molte persone non ne conoscono nemmeno l'esistenza o non credono sia esistita veramente. La maschera: S'accabadora Pianalzesa indossa sul volto una maschera in cuoio che le ricopre la bocca, il naso e la fronte, lasciando libero solo il contorno degli occhi (disegnata da Donatella Marras e realizzata da Graziano Viale). La maschera non è stata mai attestata dalle fonti, è stata voluta fortemente da noi per distinguerci dalle altre maschere sarde, se si osserva attentamente si capisce cosa volevamo raffigurare con essa. Ha delle “pieghe” che raffigurano una sorta di fazzoletto che veniva utilizzato dalle femmine accabadore per non farsi riconoscere. Il vestito: (anche questo disegnato da Donatella Marras e poi realizzato dalla sarta). Siamo vestite tutte di nero. Con una gonna lunga e giacchetto come era usanza in epoca passata, utilizzata anche per confondersi nel buio della notte quando si recava a portare la buona morte, chiamata per porre fine a una lunga e lenta agonia di un familiare. Sulle spalle indossiamo “sa mantedda” una mantellina di orbace nero con “su cuguddu” un cappuccio che ricopre il capo realizzato da antiche coperte di orbace. In mano teniamo stretto “su mazzuccu” (martello molto pesante di legno stagionato di olivastro) con il manico corto che permetteva con facilità di essere impugnato correttamente per poter dare un colpo forte/sicuro sull' osso parietale del moribondo, in modo da assicurargli una morte rapida e indolore. Alla vita teniamo legato “su jualeddu” un piccolo giogo che serviva per il rituale con il quale tentava per un'ultima volta di risanare il moribondo mettendolo sotto il suo cuscino. Il giogo era il simbolo della vita perché strettamente legato al lavoro nei campi, e quindi al pane alimento fondamentale per le famiglie. Secondo alcune fonti, quando il moribondo tardava a morire, significava che doveva scontare un peccato gravecommesso durante la sua vita. S'accabau (il moribondo) ha il viso coperto da una maschera che raffigura il dolore. Porta sulle spalle un vero giogo che rappresenta il peso e la sofferenza della sua condizione da cui viene liberato una volta che l'accabadora lo colpisce. (dal sito de S'accabadora pianalzesa)

Deep, it may seem disturbing but I find it very significant.
Life and death belong to us, we are not "eternal" fortunately.
Dante quoted: Charon is a dingy-looking old man, who makes the souls of the dead board his boat but leaves the unseated on the shore.
We appear today the unpolamory of this beautiful Planet.
To think.
Compliments my dear friend my Emme.
A cherished greeting

They applied euthanasia to take away suffering from those who no longer had hope for life, an act of human piety. Today only those who can afford it can go to Switzerland and pay... Opinions on the legalization of this practice are mixed for ethics and religion. I personally find the therapeutic acumen inhumane and I would prefer a sweet death.
There's a lot to learn from your shots - document as well as admire them for your indisputable skill as a photographer !!!
Mely dearly Emme and a Dolomite greeting!

the photo as you presented it and to say the least wonderful.
the caption embellishes it because without that you would lose a lot of meaning.
a question Joseph, but so now these representations are kept alive only as a tourist attraction?a dear greeting
