Villacidro is a small town in the Medio Campidano region, in south-western Sardinia. Together with a cluster of other small towns, it belongs to a Culture Park centred on Sardinian writer Giuseppe Dessì, who spent the greater part of his childhood in Villacidro where he set his most famous novel, “Paese d’Ombre” (winner of the Strega literary prize in 1972, translated into English as “The Forests of Norbio”) giving his hometown the fictional name of Norbio: ''Then, around a curve, he saw the tiled rooftops of Norbio. The rounded top of the bell tower, with the iron cross and the lightning conductor stood out against the gray sky.”

Das Waschhaus
洗衣房于公元1893年建成，位于紧挨弗卢米奈拉激流（Rio Fluminera）的一座小镇的边上。洗衣房主要用于洗涤布料，由一系列砌在墙上的洗涤缸组成。洗衣房非常吸引人的地方在于其自由风格（Liberty）的装饰和一处用于喷水的假面饰。起初，在洗衣房的前方还建造有一处水槽、一家屠宰场和多处敞廊。它们曾与洗衣房一起，形成了一处公众活动的主要场所。
