Sardinia
Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after Sicily. It is an autonomous region of Italy, and its official name is the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.
Geography
Sardinia is located west of the Italian Peninsula and immediately south of the French island of Corsica. The island is divided into four provinces: Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano, and Sassari. The island's terrain is mainly hilly and mountainous, with a high point at Punta La Marmora in the Gennargentu mountain range.
History
Sardinia has a rich history dating back to the Neolithic period. It was inhabited by the Nuragic civilization in the Bronze Age, and later by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, and Byzantines. In the Middle Ages, it was ruled by the Judges, and later by the Aragonese and Spanish. It became part of Italy in 1861.
Culture
Sardinian culture is unique and distinct from mainland Italian culture. The island has its own language, Sardinian, which is still spoken by a significant portion of the population. Sardinia is also known for its traditional music, dances, and festivals, such as the Cavalcata Sarda and the Mamuthones.
Economy
The economy of Sardinia is largely based on agriculture, fishing, and tourism. The island is known for its wines, cheeses, and seafood. It also has a growing technology sector, centered in the Pula area near Cagliari.
