Recent headlines from this bureau

Geography & climate

Mediterranean, windy, increasingly dry.

A large, ancient, granite island — mountains, the Costa Smeralda, sparse interior, long coasts.

Tourism, agriculture and pastoralism, energy and petrochemicals, a fragile interior economy.

The nuraghi and a pre-Roman past, the Sardinian language, shepherding, a strong island identity.
