An autonomous province of Italy, mountainous Sardinia sits about 50km off the Italian coast and just south of sister island French Corsica. Conquered throughout history by all the major empires, the cuisine and festivals still reflect the many diverse cultures. Too rocky for widespread farming, Sardinia produces superb livestock, unforgettable cheese, vintage olive oil, and even some excellent wine. Sea bounty includes tuna, calamari, lobster and sardines. With fine roads, marvelous food, sandy beaches, and a great climate, Sardinia's future as a center for increasing tourism seems evident.
