The essay tries to represent, in a narrative form, the testimonies of some shepherds in Mamoiada, a small town in Sardinia. Through their voices it intends to highlight how, despite the modernisation process , which took place on the island in the last fifty years, has led to a breakdown in the relationship that held together man, society and nature, in the recent years small but significant signs show that, albeit still in stammering forms, a new rapprochement of man to earth is in progress. This is not a kind of resurrection, “nor the advent of a great light on all the lights” (DIDI-HUBERMAN 2010, 33), but rather fragile signals showing that, even often maybe, “destructions apparently total are never absolute” (ibid.). And that luckily sometimes, away from the show and the limelight, even when in the dark or under the spotlight we can no longer see them, fragile, intermittent and fleeting glimpses survive “in which memory and hope exchange their signals to each other” (ibid., 48) to illuminate the slopes of possible futures. Fireflies, glows flashing some light in the darkness of our present.
