		The area is usually divided into three Barbagias: the Barbagia di Ollolai, the Barbagia di Seùlo[?] and the Barbagia di Mandrolisai[?].
		The latter is named after a sub-region, and the others after their main villages.
		Barbagia is one of the least populated areas in Europe.

	BARBAGIA
		Barbagia, mountain land of shepherds, is divided in Barbagia di Ollobi (between Nuoro and Fonni) north of Gennargentu, Barbagia di Belvi (between Laconi and Aritzo), Barbagia di Seùlo (up to Campidano and Barbagia di Mandrolisai in the north western sector.
		Because of the territory’s roughness, entirely immerged in the Gennargentu and Supramonte area, Barbagia has always lived in isolation, a feature which has strongly shaped the more than reserved character of its people who have been able to preserve its traditions, culture and language, the latter being considered the purest in Sardinia.
		Leaving on a slope on the eastern border of Barbagia di Ollolai, Orgosolo stands as the symbol of Barbagia’s culture, and murals painted by many artists starting from the second half of the 20th century, interpreting the conflict between modern culture and tradition, cover its buildings.

		La Barbagia era abitata sin dalla preistoria, come testimoniano gli oltre 200 nuraghi, tra i meglio conservati di tutta l'isola.
		Ma non solo, poichè altre importanti testimonianze ci giungono grazie alla presenza di pietre erette trovate non lontano da Nostra Signora d'Itria, vicino a Fonni, e la tomba dei giganti come l'altare de Logula vicino a Sarule, scoperta sempre dal generale Alberto La Marmora.
