		Geographical Position: Sardinia is, by extension, the second largest island in the Mediterranean: it measures 24,089 sq.Km, and is located between 38°51'52" and 41°15'42" Lat.
		The geology of Sardinia is extremely ancient; its rocks date back to the Early Palaeozoic (300 million years); as a consequence, the island does not have high peaks, since its mountains have been levelled by long processes of erosion.
		There are three major rivers, both as to length and water flow: the Flumendosa, which flows into the sea in the southern part of the east coast, the Tirso which flows into the Gulf of Oristano and the Coghinas which flows into the sea in the north, in the Gulf of Asinara.

	Sardinia History
		Sardinia's coasts are the one feature that most strongly characterise the island's landscape.
		But, as is the case with all islands, they have also shaped the civilisation of its inhabitants, over the centuries playing different, and sometimes even contradictory, roles in influencing the relations between the island's peoples and between them and those coming from abroad.
		It is all but certain that Sardinia's first inhabitants arrived from the sea and settled along certain coastal areas: the ruins of many nuraghes, Sardinia's unique, megalithic towers in the form of truncated cones, bear witness to this.

		Sardinia is a very ancient land mass, perhaps the oldest of all Italy, going back to the Cambrian period, 570 million years ago.
		Sardinia is rich in minerals, coal, silver, lead, zinc and iron and it wasn't long before the word got around the Mediterranean and many people came from afar to mine them.
		The coastal areas of Sardinia, on the other hand, were very much influenced by the invading foreign forces: the Alghero area, by the Spanish Catalan dialect; the Gallura and Carloforte area, by the Genoan dialect and inflection.
