The hallway leads onto a room that was once “the best room” of the house where, where on the wall, immediately opposite the door, there is an anastatic copy of the letter that Gramsci wrote to his Mother on 10th May 1928, in which he reminds her he is a political prisoner, condemned  for refusing to change his opinions, that he has nothing to be ashamed of and, with highly poetic words, express his sorrow for having brought on her so much pain:
“I’d like to hold you so tight that you feel how much I love you and how much I want to console you from this sorrow I have brought you: but I couldn’t have done otherwise. Life is like that, very hard and sons must sometimes bring great sorrows on their mothers, if they want to conserve their honour and their human dignity.”
In a corner there’s a donation from Georges de Canino: a sculpture called “That extraordinary strength of reason / Antonio Gramsci mental portrait”. Some collections of “Rinascita Sarda” (Sardinian Renaissance), dating back to the sixties and a collection of “Ordine Nuovo” from 1919-20, 1924-25 are placed on two tables that are typical of the Sardinian tables of that time.
