The titular Saint of the church is, curiously, linked to the ravioli festival (is cruguxionis in the local dialect) that is celebrated in Baradili: according to a legend, some young farmers found a statuette of Saint Margaret in the countryside. They brought it to the parish priest, who was sitting at the table in front of a plate of ravioli. To thank them, he invited them and the entire population to the table. The ravioli seemed to never end. The frugal lunch turned into a banquet. This is where the ravioli festival was born.

The church is centrally located in Baradili. Unfortunately it was closed when we visited. "The parish church of Santa Margherita Martire dates back to the 18th century, was completed in 1935 and has undergone numerous renovations. Inside there are precious wooden statues of various saints, including that of Saint Anthony of Padua with the Child Jesus standing. In honor of the saint, protector of the Children, there are two festivals every year: sa festa manna, the main festival at the end of May, and Santa Mragaida agattada (found) or de is cruguxionis (the ravioli) in mid-July, spread over two Sundays. With the celebration is the festival of raviolo (a type of stuffed pasta). It all went back to a legend, according to which a few young farm workers in the countryside found a small statue of Santa Margherita (St. Margaret). They brought it to the parish priest, who was in front of a plate of ravioli pasta sat at the table. To thank him, he invited her and the entire population to the table. The ravioli pasta never seemed to end. The frugal lunch was turned into a banquet. This story led to the creation of the festival in 1995, where all types of ravioli pasta are distributed: ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese, lemon, spinach and with potatoes."

Even though the town of Baradili is really very small, it is worth taking a short tour through the beautiful, quiet streets. "Famous for being the municipality with the smallest population on the island and one of the least populated in Italy, its traditions and natural and archaeological treasures are still unchanged. Baradili is a small village in the Oristano region with less than a hundred inhabitants ( with a birth rate close to zero). It is located near the Giara in the Marmilla hills and is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and almond orchards from which excellent wines, oils and cakes are obtained. Its appearance resembles a medieval village with numerous ancient ones Houses "with an inner courtyard" - including the grain bank and the houses Casa Usai and Casa Lavra - and there is a risk that it will become a ghost village in a few decades. In 1927 it was annexed to the neighboring municipality of Baressa, but since 1958 it has been autonomous again. The first written document mentioning Baratuli dates from 1342, but its origin probably dates back to Roman times, traces of which have been found in various areas."
