The province of South Sardinia (Italian: provincia del Sud Sardegna; Sardinian: provìntzia de Sud Sardigna) is a province in the autonomous island region of Sardinia, Italy, instituted on 4 February 2016. It includes the suppressed provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano, a large part of the old province of Cagliari (without the 17 municipalities of the new Metropolitan City), and two other municipalities.[1]

History

South Sardinia was instituted as a result of the law reforming provinces in Sardinia (Regional Law 2/2016).[1] Once operational, it will include most of the geographic region of Campidano, the Sarrabus-Gerrei, the Trexenta and the Sulcis-Iglesiente. The provincial capital will be determined by the first provincial council, as well as the institution's statute.
