Sardinia (Sardegna)Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean (Sicily is larger), and as a result of its isolation, it has converted its own economy and traditions far more than have other regions. After Sicily and Piedmont, Sardinia is the most extensive region. It lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the east, the Sardinian Sea to the west; it is separated from Corsica to the north by the Strait of Bonifacio. Smaller islands like Sant'Antioco, San Pietro, Asinara, La Maddalena, Caprera, etc.., are also part of Sardinia. |
