Sardinia

The Sardinia (in Italian: Sardegna and in Sardinian language standardized: Sardinna ) is a island of the the Western Mediterranean, located at the west of the Italian peninsula and the south of the Corsica . Attached to the Italy after a long insulation, Culture the different one from the peninsula, and with strong characteristics, it obtained the statute of autonomous region of Italy the February 28th 1948. The island currently has problems to develop economically, especially in comparison with the Italy of the Northern . Its Capitale is the town of Cagliari.

History

See also: History of Sardinia, : category: History of Sardinia

The history plurimillénaire of Sardinia undoubtedly starts with the Paléolithique inferior (500.000 years front J. - C.) to which go up the first unquestionable vestiges of the frequentation of the island by the man, which settles in a stable way good there later, with the Neolithic lower (6000 av. J. - C.).

Chronology before J. - C.

The first civilization having a well defined aspect and characters and autochtones is the civilization known as of Bonuighinu (during - population diffused on the territory of the island practitioner the agriculture gathered in villages - in close contact with Corsica, Italy and the South of France, ceramics and obsidian leave the obvious archaeological trace of it), then appears that more famous of the nuraghes, which begins with the old Bronze Age (1500 av. J. - C.) and which declines gradually at the end of the age of iron (500 av. J. - C.) to disappear completely only with Roman occupation. It was thus named because of its most typical architecture: the Nuraghe, construction in form of turn (truncated cone) using large blocks of stone squared and worked, which takes a form more articulated and complex at the time of the most resplendent period of this civilization (into full age with iron).

There exist other typical constructions of the pre-nuragique and intermediate age: the Domus of janas (translation: houses of the fairies) dug in the granite and being used to bury deaths, the tombs of the giants , very frequent inside the island, and of cyclopean size. In this case also they are typical constructions. The megalithism (with Menhir S in particular) is a prenuragic characteristic.

The rich person mining resources of the island draw the attention and commercial interest of the populations of the the Eastern Mediterranean, like the Mycéniens and the Chypriotes, but in fact the Phéniciens, starting from the {{IXe}} and of eighth century BC constitute the first colonies stable, occupying of the sites along the coast, easily accessible, favorable to the exchanges and the trade. Sardinia which belonged to the empire Carthaginian (its occupation goes from 535 to 239 av. J. - C.) privileges, in addition to the production of the mining resources, that of the wheat and wood (the island was almost covered with forests). This exploitation perdure also with the Roman conquest (239 av. J. - C. 476 after J. - C.). Sardinia was attached to Rome at the time of the Second Punic War and in 227 av. J-C. is made up the Roman province of Corsican-Sardinia.

Rome, to affirm its domination of the internal zones and in particular the Barbaria (become current the Barbagia) - the inhabitants are regarded there as prouder and courageous that on the coasts - imposes itself by a strong and well organized administration and which the effectiveness is assured mainly by a very ramified highway network - of which still survived that and there a few original pieces - mainly taken again by the layout of the modern highway network.

The decline of the Roman Empire reaches the island and has as a consequence the progressive abandonment of the arable lands and the coasts and a notable lowering of demography.

Given up with itself and without defense, Sardinia is occupied and sudden the Razzia S during some 80 years (towards 460 - 530 after J. - C.) by the Vandales of Africa which, demolished by the emperor of the East, leave the island under the domination of Byzance.

As for the 9th century the Arabs complete the conquest of the Mediterranean, of the North of Africa, the Spain and of the Sicily, the Sardinian coasts are subjected to their ceaseless attacks and their raids.

In 1014, an alliance of Genoa and Pisa causes the defeat of Museto, an Arab war leader which had seized Cagliari.

The disinterest and the vacuum of being able which follows on behalf of remote Byzance push the island to manage itself its fate: thus, it is organized administratively and militarily into 4 Giudicati (or Judicat S): those of the Raised , Calaris (Cagliari), of the Gallura and the Logudoro (Torres), kingdoms sovereign and independent from/to each other.

With sudden starts, the Giudicati survive until the end of the 13th century, when they become territories controlled by the maritime republics of the Italian continent of Pisa and Genoa. The Arborée resists and remains independent until in 1410 and autonomous until in 1478. This year, the crown of Aragon definitively conquers the very whole island, already conceded in zone féodée since 1297 by the pope Boniface VIII as well as the Corsica close (which the Aragoneses give up in 1487).

“Regnum Sardiniae and Corsicae” thus created the April 4th 1297 will remain under the domination of the crown of Aragon until the beginning 1700.

Chronology after J. - C.

After a short Austrian bracket (1708 - 1718), confirmed by the Treated of Utrecht, the Regnum Sardiniae is yielded by the “Traité of London (1718)” with the States of Savoy, in exchange of the Sicily, whose duke takes the title of King de Sardaigne .

The Royaume of Sardinia is thus made up (generally indicated under the name of Piedmont-Sardinia by the French historians since its capital is with Turin and a viceroyalty is installed with Cagliari), and inside this one the island maintains its statute autonomous until 1847, year when it amalgamates with Piedmont and gives the day at a single central government, thus renonçant with its historical autonomy.

The April 28th 1794 a true rebellion antiféodale bursts with Cagliari. This Insurrection is subdued after the defeat of Giovanni Maria Angioy, overcome close to Oristano in 1796.

With the end of the wars for Independence and the Italian unit, the Royaume of Piedmont-Sardinia becomes Royaume of Italy in 1861. “All starts with the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia: in constitutional terms, there exists a continuity between this one and the Italian Republic. It there forever have rupture while passing from one mode to another. This explains why the Sardinians feel very strongly Italian. It is not either a chance if Garibaldi has its tomb in Sardinia.”

Sardinia is a complex area which preserved through its cultural witnesses, of materials being of historical and artistic interest, a very characteristic original luggage which one does not stop redécouvrir and who it sied to revalorize by taking account of all its richness.

Paolo Valente Poddighe was the first Archéologue to claim that " Atlantis is equivalent to Sardinia of the time nuragique" , and that this island could thus be Atlantis. Others Archéologue S support since his thesis.

Heraldic

The origin of the Sardinian symbol is not well defined, but one finds his historical trace attested in 1281. One must note his analogy with that of the Corsica close. Several historical facts can perhaps explain it.

Indeed, the first historical event proceeds in 1014, by the victory over Museto with Cagliari (see the history), and thus, the heads of Moors would represent overcome, and are four in reference to the areas Sarde S.

But the historical fact most explanatory of the symbol, would be that of 1096, when the king Pierre Ier d' Aragon overcame the Moors at the time of the Bataille of Alcoraz. He explained this victory over the four Arab kings killed on the battle field, by the providential contest of holy Georges (whose banner is a Red Cross on white zone). Moreover, of old representations sometimes four crowned heads show.

It is the July 5th 1952 which the emblem becomes by decree, the official Symbole of Sardinia. And the regional Law of the April 15th 1999, raised the stringcourse on the face of the Moors, for diplomatic reasons.

Geography

Sardinia, which has a surface of more than 24.000 km ², is located at the center of the the Western Mediterranean, between the Corsica with north, and the Tunisia in the South, and was regarded a long time as largest island of the Mediterranean. In fact, it is the second after the Sicily.

It mainly consists of Montagne S and Colline S, and the principal mountainous solid mass, the Gennargentu, which is in the center-Eastern part of the island, culminates to 1834 m of altitude.

One also finds there parts plane, whose only the really remarkable one is that of the Campidano, vast a Plaine of river origin. One notices two Rivière S principal, the long Flumendosa 127 km, but especially the Tirso with his 135 km. One finds many Barrage S in Sardinia, formant of the artificial lakes which are used for the Irrigation of the fields.

Its Mediterranean Climat offers soft temperatures, and the mistral, which is the wind prevailing, makes it possible to refresh the high estival temperatures.

Geology

The Sardinian Géologie is very interesting owing to the fact that the Roche S being are there among oldest of Europe, and oldest of Italy. Thus, it there not of very high Altitude S in Sardinia because of long erosion. Indeed, the rock base of southernmost Sardinia (from where the great number of mines in the south) date of the period Precambrian, and more precisely of the beginning of the éon Protérozoïque (the era Paléoprotérozoïque). One finds, in the North-East of the island, the sedimentary rocks resulting from this period, which show that there was also a part coming from immersion. These Sédiment S allowed the creation of rocks Carbonifère S (from where the coal mines). One also finds rocks more recent, resulting from the éon Phanérozoïque such as volcanic rocks which one finds in quantity in the Western and southernmost area of the island.

Sardinia underwent with Corsica a continental drift, because these two islands belonged to the continent of Europe. They formed the Chaîne pyrénéo-of Provence. It deviated during the period Oligocène (- 30 million years).

Administration

Sardinia is divided into eight provinces. Three old:

More recent:

Province of Oristano (GOLD).

Lastly, a regional law adopted in 2001 which envisages from now on a total of eight provinces starting from the May 9th 2005 (with the elections of the councils of provinces). The four new provinces are the following ones:

Province of Olbia-Tempio (OT) (historical area of the Gallura) (operational after May 23rd, 2005 because of the ballotage),
Province of Ogliastra (OG),
Province of Carbonia-Iglesias (Ci) (area of the Sulcis and the Iglesiente),
Province of Medio Campidano (MANDELEVIUM).

Policy

See also: Presidents of Sardinia, : category: Policy of Sardinia

The autonomous region is governed by a special statute, approved by a constitutional law of the February 26th 1948 which gave to be able to legislate in an exclusive way in certain cases (organization of the local governments, construction, Agriculture and Forêt S). In other fields (Health, public assistance), the area can legislate within the framework of the principles establish by the law of the State. These scope were extended by the reform of the title V of the Italian Constitution (in the field of research and the formation).

The Statute organizes the three authorities which represent Sardinia:

the District council (regional legislative power);
the regional Junta (to be able regional executive);
the president of the area (chief of the capacity regional executive).

Since the constitutional reform of January 31st, 2001, the president is elected directly, at the same time as the District council.

In 2004, the last elections at the District council (including/understanding that of the president of the autonomous region), the first after the constitutional reform, took place on the basis of the special statute into force and by taking account of the provinces lately created in 2001.

The two principal candidates for the presidency were Renato Soru, with the head of a list Sardegna insieme (Sardinia together), supported by the coalition of Olivier and its own movement, Progetto Sardegna, it was elected with 50,13% of the voices, and Mauro Pili, the outgoing president elected in 1999, with the head of a list Sardegna unita (plain Sardinia), supported by the Maison of freedoms, obtained only 40,53% of the voices.

The July 14th 2004, it is Giacomo Spissu (Left Democrats) which was elected, with the second turn, president of the District council (with 47 votes, 30 blank votes, and 3 with another DS - 5 abstentions). With the first turn, 52 abstentions (of the elected majority) had prevented the vote in the majority of two thirds envisaged at the time of this first vote.

Demography

In October 2004, several researchers of the Université of Montreal went to Sardinia to study a Sardinian characteristic there. Indeed, the Médecin S of the island noted a big number of men Supercentenaire S (110 years and +), which is rare, because usually in fact the Femme S reach these advanced ages. Several explanations are advanced such as the air of the Montagne S or the food mode , but still of the factors Génétique S . It is probable that these factors interact as thinks it Robert Bourbeau. Thus, GeDAP and the INED are also interested in Sardinia, within the framework of European project FELICIE.

Sardinian personalities

Sardinian culture

The thousand-year-old insulation of Sardinia compared to the Italy created a single Milieu not only from the point of view linguistic but more generally cultural.

Sardinian language

Sardinian statuettes

Contemporary of the end of the nuragic time and its civilization (between 900 av. J. - C. and 535 av. J. - C.), at the time of the age of iron, the small bronzes , often represented Guerrier S out of weapons and animals, but also of requesting for example. Same time, there exist also Sculpture S of stone, of small but also of big size.

Mural

Music

The technique used by the Sardinian singers is almost single in the world, and practiced mainly in Mongolia can be brought closer only to the Chant diphonic.

Thus, one can distinguish the song with single voice accompanied by a traditional instrument, the song “has tenore” Sardinian, which is a polyphonic song of four men. In 2005, the Chant has Tenore was proclaimed Oral and Immaterial Patrimoine of Humanity.

The choruses are often composed of five votes, applied inter alia at the time of Gosos, which are the Chant S religious.

The strong Sardinian identity has, during its history, product of the anthems. The Sardinian anthem ( Innu Sardu ) was composed in 1843 by Giovanni Gonella. But there exists also Dimonios , the anthem of the Brigade “Sassari”, composed by Luciano Sechi in 1994. Procurad' E moderare is the anthem composed by Francesco Ignazio Mannu in 1795, in the honor of the Sardinian Insurrection of 1794.

The Sardinian traditional instruments are very much used in accompaniment of the songs and the dances. Thus, the Sardinian guitar, the Launeddas, which are a wind instrument made up of three parts (kind of flute) of various sizes and which is played by using the technique of circular Respiration, and the Organetto, a small accordion, are very often present in the festivals.

The Ballo tondo ( Ballu Tundu ) is most known and unanimous dances in the island, but one also finds the has Passu , and the Ballu Seriu .

Traditional behaviors

For the Woman, the traditional behavior very finely is embroidered and coloured (green, and/or blue, and/or gold, and/or red). The behaviors can be very different, in spite of fixed parts such as the Châle, the blouse, the long Jupe, and the white blouse. The women can also carry Sardinian jewels, out of gold, money or coral, often finely engraved.

On the other hand, for the Man, the traditional behavior is in the line line of the expensive pastoral tradition in Sardinia. One often notes a shirt and a white pants, a waistcoat and a jacket blacks (sometimes with red), a Chapeau of particular form, and sometimes a coat (of Cuir or Laine).

Sardinian tales

The strong oral tradition of Sardinia produced very many Conte S and Légende S. There even exists, in the town of Boroneddu, There museo beyond fiaba sarda (the museum of the Sardinian fable) devoted to the characters of the traditional fables.

Some examples:

As San' Antonio rubo it fuoco Al diavolo (How holy Antonio stole fire to the devil)
It vecchio E the rupe (the old man and the rock)
delle Mariedda LED piccolo popolo janas (Mariedda of the small people of the fairies)
the vitellina flagstone corna of oro (the small calf with the gold horns)

Sardinian festivals

There exist many festivals in Sardinia (Carnaval S, processions…), which reveals the Sardinian culture strongly anchored in the island.

the Sartiglia (Sartilla or Sartilia): It is a horse-race of medieval origin , which short last Sunday, and the fatty Tuesday at the time of the Carnaval with Oristano. This race has a Spanish origin .
the die of its Sardigna (the day of Sardinia): It is the festival of the Sardinian people. She was recognized by the district council the September 14th 1993. She points out the Insurrection of April 28th, 1794.
the procession for Santa Maria LED pond (holy Marie of the sea): A procession of boats on August 1st with Worked,
the Candelieri : It is a procession which is held on August 15th with Sassari (inter alia),
the Assunta : Procession with Orgosolo,
the Sagra di sant' Efisio (the festival of Efisio saint): It is held on May 1st with Cagliari, and gathers many participants in traditional costumes,
the cavalcata sarda : A horse-race to Sassari in May,
the Sagra di San Salvatore : Procession from September to Pulled up,
the ardia : Horse-race in the lanes of the village of Sedilo,
the festival of the Mamuthones : Is held in Mamoïada
the festival of the Merdules : Is held in Ottana

Sardinian universities

One finds two universities in Sardinia, the Université of Cagliari, and the Université of Sassari, which is especially recognized for its courses of Droit.

Gastronomy

Cook

The Cuisine knew a particular evolution which preserves still today many of its old characteristics.

Among the pastes one distinguishes the Culurzones (kinds of filled raviolis of a mixture of potatoes, onion, semolina and Nutmeg), the Malloreddus (in the shape of shells), but also the Pillus (kinds of noodles).
La Viande, cooked with the braises, often aromatized with the Myrthe or with the Suie, is the queen of the meals of festival: lamb, Kid, pig of milk, Young wild boar. The Pane carasau is a Sardinian typical bread.

Cheeses

The cheese of ewe (Pecorino sardo) is famous in the whole world. It is usually consumed with the carta musica or Pistoccu, very fine Pain in Semoule of durum Wheat. But there exist other cheeses produced in Sardinia, such as the flower Sarde , the Canestrati , or the caprini (They are the goat's milk cheeses).

Pastry makings

Finally the Cake X, generally with the Almond S (the amarettus or Amaretti, the Gattò ), but also with the Honey and the spices. One can give other examples like the Pardule (small cakes containing Ricotta), the chiacchiere (kinds of Bugne S), the aranzata (cakes with the orange), or the Cardinali (small marrowy cakes).

Drinks

The Vin S Sardinians are less known than those of other areas of Italy, but their fame grows. The Brandy (of Grape and Myrthe) and the Vernaccia (Wine very soft with an high degree of alcohol) are very current.

Sardinian examples of wines:

Carignano (Carignan)
Cannonau (Grenache)
Girò
Monica
Malvasia di Sardegna
Nasco
Nuragus

Examples of other Sardinian alcohols:

the Mirto : liquor containing myrtle, which can be white or red,
the Villacidro (of the name of a city of the south): alcohol containing Ani S and of saffron,
the Filuferru (wire): resulting from the Distillation from Marc of grape,
the Amaro Sardo : bitter liquor .
Ichnusa : Sardinian Beer

Economic activities and resources

One can separate two types of resources of the island, the traditional ones like the breeding, and the news such as the Tourisme. In spite of these last, Sardinia suffers from a strong rate of Chômage (approximately 7%), especially in the young people (approximately 22%). “The most important problem is employment, in Corsica as in Sardinia. If this question is not solved, there will be always a discomfort and an emigration. The interior of the grounds of Sardinia is depopulated. ”.

The European Union answered the Sardinian request partly, by setting up a “mode of assistance at employment”.

Tourism

Sardinia is increasingly known for its tourist localities, such as the “Costa Smeralda” (the emerald coast), the Catalan city of Alghero, the mountainous solid mass of Gennargentu and its villages, the small port of Bosa dominated by a fortress. More recently many hotel complexes were built in the south (Villasimius and Muravera in the east, and Santa Margherita di pula and Chia in the west). In 1994, the Archipelago of Maddalena, is classified marine National park, with its 15.046 Hectare S of marine surface and 180 km of coasts.

There exists an astonishing means to discover Sardinia. Indeed, the trenino verde (the small green train), is a railroad to vapor restarted, with renovated engines and coaches, in order to make visit the island.

Thus the development of the Sardinian tourist infrastructures, its climate, its vestiges archaeological (Nuraghe…), make a destination of choice of it, to accommodate “approximately 10 million tourists per annum, including 80% in July - August”.

Many objects in cork are manufactured such as postcards, checkerworks, and other objects of all kinds.

Since the stop of the Rally Sanremo in 2003, the Rallye of Sardinia is one of the tests of the Championnat of the world of the rallys.

Breeding

The breeding is very established in Sardinia, especially in the mountainous regions, and has consequently a strong importance, certainly economic, but also Social E.

One finds two types of breeding mainly practiced in Sardinia. The first is the breeding Ovin. The Lait of ewe is appreciated and very much used, and the Viande of lamb is a meal of choice.
Le second is the breeding of Caprin. The milk of Chèvre is also required. Thus, the Fromage is the product most usually provided.

The objective from the 13.000 to 15.000 stockbreeder S of Ovine S and Caprine S which one can count, is to increase the production of products with strong Added-value such as AOP. Consequently, associations of caprine stockbreeders of Nuoro and Cagliari and the Istituto Zootecnico E Caseario per Sardegna decided “to define strategies of selection for the Sardinian goat's milk cheese”.

But we can say all the same that “the agroalimentary one is powerful. Sardinia is the largest cheese exporter in the United States and Canada, even if she knows some difficulties with the fall of the dollar.”

Agriculture

One can see several types of culture S in Sardinia, whose agriculture is diversified enough. One finds Céréale S (Blé…), of the Fruit S (Citrus fruits S, Cherry S…), of the vegetables (Artichoke…), of the spring Crocus to collect the saffron, of the Olive which is largely used to produce the oil, of the cork, the Vigne for the wine. This last production goes back to strong a long time in Sardinia, because already present at the age nuragic. The production of olives on the other hand was introduced in Sardinia only starting from XVIe century.

The Salt production and of course the port S of fishing, are also cultures present on the island. However this last activity is relatively marginal for historical reasons. One can however note an exception for the fishing of the Anguille fished since antiquity.

Mining

Services

Sardinia starts to make up for its lost time in the field, its progress being symbolized by the supplier of access Internet Tiscali, created locally.

Industry

Sardinian industry is not very developed, but one can observe all the same a petrochemical Industrie chemical, and textile, especially in the area of Cagliari. “Industry is in crisis. The tertiary sector is highly developed. But it is especially about public administration. There are no large chains of distribution. ” (for Mediterranean Energy) aiming at promoting renewable energies. For example with regard to the wind establishment of S: “the wind potential is thus important in the north of Sardinia. All the factors are joined together to support the wind mill installation of: presence of regular winds, existence of broad spaces to weak density of population, and easy access to the potential zones. For this reason, the European Union (UE) regards Sardinia as an ideal site for the development of this type of electrical production and decided to finance their construction. The objectives are to contribute to the energy independence of the EU and to reduce the fossile fuel emissions, within the framework of the respect of the objectives of the Protocol of Kyoto”. Comes to join that other funds as with Nurri. Indeed, EDF and ENEL joined there in 2004 to carry out a wind farm of 22 MW. But ENEL goes further, because it doubles its production in Sardinia in 2006, by the creation of the wind farm of Sedini.

Sardinia was saved by the Italian blackout of 2003, this island “being connected to the continent by an underwater cable in D.C. current”, which can make it possible to work out an energy protective system within the framework of the interconnections between country.

With regard to fossil energies, Sardinia is brought to become a point of important passage between the African continent and Europe. Indeed, Algeria wanting to set up an energy export towards Europe, is studied a project of Gazoduc towards Sardinia, which could then supply Italy and Corsica.

Transport

It is possible to reach the island in two manners. First is by means of Air transport via the airports of Cagliari - Elmas (in the south), of Alghero and Olbia. They are in particular served starting from the airports of Rome, Milan, Turin and Naples from Italy. However, first has direct flights coming from London Luton, and the second of London Stansted. One can note that the direct airlifts France - Sardinia are rare (more frequent for the summer period).

The second is the Ferry, which has as favors the fact of being able to leave with its car, and like disadvantage the time of the crossing. For the France, have finds departures of Marseilles and Toulon towards Oporto Torres, but also of Bonifacio towards Santa Teresa di Gallura. The cities in departure of Italy are Genoa, Civitavecchia, Naples, Leghorn… It is it should be noted that the prices of a crossing are comparable with those of a flight on a company with low-cost.

On the spot, it is possible to cross all the island in Train, and in particular with the '' Trenino Verde '' (small green train). It is a slow means, but which leaves time to admire the landscape.

One can also move in drunk with various regional companies, or of course in car. The main roads are the S 131, on the layout of old a Roman Voie which crosses the island of north to the south.

Fauna and flora

See also: : Category: Environment in Sardinia

Sardinia, by its long insulation, remained very wild. One thus finds there a beautiful variety of fauna and Flore, as well as many endemic species . Moreover, one research team of the University of Cagliari, highlighted “65 plant species having medical properties” only in the western south of the island.

Protected natural parks

One finds nine natural parks on the Sardinian territory, including three national and six regional:

the national park of the golf of Orosei - Gennargentu , is single in Sardinia by the archeological sites which there were discovered, like, for example, the Grotte of Corbeddu from where were put at the day the oldest osseous remainders of Sardinia (Paléolithique inferior),

the national park of Asinara , is a Sardinian island (length: 17,5 km, width max: 6,14 km) whose landscapes are very diversified, but especially with very important historical traces, such as a prison camp of the First World War.

the national park of the Archipelago of Maddalena , is a marine Parc among richest of the the Mediterranean, rare in cash and often protected. But he also is of importance at the historical level, with stray S Romans inter alia. Moreover, Giuseppe Garibaldi lived there of 1854 with 1882 on one of the small islands of the archipelago.

the regional park of Molentargius - Saltworks of Cagliari, with its two pond S of fresh water and salted, and its complex archéologico-industrialist. In this environment, one only finds in particular a population important of pink flamingos, installed since the Nineties.

the regional park of Oporto Tells - Capo Caccia , close to Alghero, has an environment making it possible to find nearly 35 species from mammals, and 135 of birds (Peregrine falcon, Griffon…) sailors or not, being able to nest in the cliff S. One also finds there many species floral endemic. The cliffs conceal Grotte S important emerged or submerged whose majority are closed with the public.

the regional park of the mount Limbara , being in the Province of Sassari, is remarkable by the fact of its population of Chêne-liège.

the regional park of Giara de Gesturi . Vast of 30 km ², this park is in fact a top plate where live (free for some) the small ones and powerful Sardinian horses.

the regional Park of the mount Arci , is a volcanic solid mass of origin.

the regional park of the mount Linas is a mountainous solid mass (approximately 1000 m) which is in the south of the island close to the commune of Villacidro. One finds there boors and Sardinian stags.

One can also note the presence of several parks or private Oasis, pertaining to various organizations such as WWF.
