Sardinien ist – nach Sizilien – die zweitgrößte Insel im Mittelmeer und bildet mit einigen ihr vorgelagerten Inseln die gleichnamige autonome Region Italiens. Ihre Hauptstadt ist Cagliari.Die Region Sardinien hat eine Fläche von 24.090 km² und 1,65 Millionen Einwohner. Die Ägypter nannten sie Schardana, die Euboier „Ichnoussa“ und die Griechen „Sandalyon“, da ihre Form an einen Fußabdruck erinnert. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinien
