Overview

Sardinia is one of the 29 constituencies represented in the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the Italian parliament. The constituency currently elects 17 deputies. Its boundaries correspond to those of the Italian region of Sardinia. The electoral system uses a parallel voting system, which act as a mixed system, with 37% of seats allocated using a first-past-the-post electoral system and 61% using a proportional method, with one round of voting. The constituency was first established by the Mattarella law on 4 August 1993 and later confirmed by the Calderoli law on 21 December 2005 and by the Rosato law on 3 November 2017.

Notable quotes

“There is not in Italy what there is in Sardinia, nor in Sardinia what there is in Italy.”
— , zoologist, 18th century (Storia naturale di Sardegna)
“This land resembles no other place. Sardinia is something else. Enchanting spaces and distances to travel-nothing finished, nothing definitive. It is like freedom itself.”
— David Herbert Lawrence, Sea and Sardinia, 1921
“People inevitably think of themselves as Sardinian first and Italian second (or sometimes even third, after European). A book written once about Sardinia was entitled The Unconquered Island, and it's true. Invaded and exploited it has been, yes, but not conquered.”
— Sardinia - Dana Facaros & Michael Pauls, Cadogan Guide (2003)
“Sardinians as a race are prone to a very non latin, almost celtic wistfulness and melancholy.”
— Sardinia - Dana Facaros & Michael Pauls, Cadogan Guide (2003)
