Cultural heritage
- Sardinia boasts a rich cultural heritage with ancient ruins, historic villages, and traditional festivals that showcase its unique history and traditions.
“Sardinia has a complex geological history, in which exemplary processes have alternated over more than 500 million years, from the Palaeozoic to the Quaternary, strongly characterizing the island and making it interesting from both a scientific and a didactic-cultural point of view.”
Fancello et al., 2022, Front Earth Sci, 10, 1-29
“In this region, many areas are unaffected by diffuse
anthropogenic pollution that allow to evaluate the present status of groundwater quality, possibly close to nearly pristine conditions.
However, Sardinia hosts widespread mineralization, both mined and not exploited, which makes challenge the baseline evaluation of trace elements.“
