Located at the foot of Monte Cuccuru, the rural complex of San Michele del Salto or del Monte, dating back to the 16th century, is a historical-religious testimony that is part of a landscape and archaeological context of high value for the territory of Irgoli and Baronia. Over the years it has been affected by various restorations and extensions, so much so that now it seems to be a small sanctuary. From an architectural point of view, it has a solid structure with three internal arches, supported on the outside by six buttresses (three on each side) and preserves a precious polychrome wooden statue of the Saint, dating back to
1700.In 2006, the interior of the church was enriched with a beautiful triptych by the local artist Pina Monne, which depicts the symbolic victory of Saint Michael over the evil one. The area surrounding the complex is of great interest, as evidenced by the 5 archaeological sites surveyed by the PPR (Regional Landscape Plan). The proximity to the archaeological area of Genn'e Pruna and the presence of an interesting archaeological museum - the Antiquarium of Irgoli help to define a rich and diversified cultural itinerary
.Enhancement of the building with the PNRR Rural Architecture contribution
The restoration project of the Church of San Michele and the annexed rooms of the Cumbessias involved a coordinated set of conservative and functional interventions. A preventive archaeological investigation was also conducted to protect any pre-existing ones. The restoration of the polychrome wooden statue of Saint Michael has taken on particular importance. In the Cumbessias premises, the floor has been redone to recover the full functionality of the spaces
.Aspects of interest
The complex is a vibrant center of faith and conviviality that since the 19th century celebrates Saint Michael the Archangel twice a year with the great participation of the local community and neighboring countries.
The celebrations are held in May and September: after Holy Mass, the festival reaches its peak with the traditional lunch offered to everyone present in the loggias and in the characteristic “cumbissias”, prepared according to a tradition handed down for generations. The May festival is organized in turn by some families, who are part of the ancient “tripides” while in September the organization is organized by the shepherds, with the collaboration of other members of the community
