History

South Sardinia was instituted as a result of the reform law provinces in Sardinia (Regional Law 2/2016).[1] Once activated will include great part of the geographic region of Campidano, the Sarrabus-Gerrei, the Trexenta and the Sulcis-Iglesiente. The provincial capital will be determined by the first provincial council, as well as the institution's statute.
