Sardinia

[cappuccino]

NYTimes has two articles up about my favorite Mediterranean island, Sardinia; Italian: Sardegna, Sardu: Sardigna or Sardinnia, Catalan: Sardenya. It's where my mother is from and I've been to many times since an infant, so consequently, it holds a special place in my heart

Cagliari: The Other Sardinia

Back to Nature, the Italian Way

I read the Cagilari article yesterday. I love Sardegna, although it's been freaking me out how many celebs have been spotted this summer splashing about in the pristine Tyrrhenian waters of Porto Cervo.

Not that Sardegna -- especially Porto Cervo -- hasn't been chic for a long time, but it was more of a local chic. I spent a week in Olbia up in the Northeast near the Costa Smeralda when I was a senior in high school. Gorgeous rugged landscape.

I had no idea you were a Sardo, capp. That's so cool. I hear that the language is as close to vernacular Latin in Roman times as we have now. Is that true, do you know?
