“Cala di Seta”  is the original name of Calasetta where, in the past, a particular making of the Bisso, a sort of natural marine silk produced by a shellfish called “Pinna Nobilis,” was practiced. 
 
Calasetta, a village of 3.000 inhabitants, is located in the northern part of Sant’Antioco Island, in the south-west of Sardinia.

It was founded in 1770 by Ligurian people coming from Tabarka (an African Island). The village today still has several ligurian traditions and speaks the Genoese dialect. It was also influenced by 300 Piedmonteses who followed the Ligurians some years later. The structure of the village is a typical piedmontese one and we inherited form them the tradition of vineyard cultivation that, together with the fishing, were at the basis of the village economy for several decades.

Today local makers and the “Cantina Sociale” (founded in 1930) still grow the vineyard and produce an excellent red, rosé and white vine; the most appreciated one is the Carignano, the famous red vine aged in oak barrels.


The ancient Tower, built in 1760 is located in the highest part of the village.
It is surrounded by a nice square overlooking on one side the town Beach and San Pietro Island, the Port and the main Square on the other one.
