The province of South Sardinia (Italian: provincia del Sud Sardegna; Sardinian: provìntzia de Sud Sardigna) was a province in the autonomous island region of Sardinia, Italy, instituted on 4 February 2016. It included the disestablished provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano, a large part of the old province of Cagliari, and two other municipalities.[3] It was disestablished on 1 June 2025.[4]
History
[edit]South Sardinia was instituted as a result of the law reforming provinces in Sardinia (Regional Law 2/2016).[3] 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.[citation needed]
In April 2021, under Sardinian Regional Council's Regional Law Nr. 7,[5] the province was suppressed; the provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias (now bearing the name Sulcis Iglesiente) and Medio Campidano were restored, and the rest of the province would be absorbed into the Metropolitan City of Cagliari, minus the comune of Seulo (absorbed into province of Nuoro).[6] Whilst the Italian government challenged the law,[7] thus stalling its implementation,[8] on March 12, 2022, the Constitutional Court ruled in favor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.[9] On April 13, 2023, the regional council, at the proposal of the regional government, approved an amendment to the 2021 reform, defining the timeframe and manner of its implementation, which became effective on 1 June 2025.[10][4]
