From the Kingdom of Sardinia to the present
From 1718 until 1861 (the birth of the modern state Italy) Sardinia together with Piedmont formed the Kingdom of Sardinia.

After World War I, under Mussolini, the swamps and ponds on the west-coast were drained and the most succesful agricultural community on Sardinia was founded, Arborea (called initially Mussolinia).Coalmining was developed and Mussolini founded the town of Carbonia, called after the coalmining industry (in italian carbone).

History of Sardinia

The island was included for centuries in the Roman province of Sardinia and Corsica, which would be incorporated into the diocese of Italia suburbicaria in 3rd and 7th centuries.
In the Early Middle Ages, through the European barbarian movements, the waning of the Byzantine Empire influence in the western Mediterranean and the Saracen raids, the island fell out of the sphere of influence of any higher government; this led to the birth of four independent kingdoms called Judicates (Latin: Judica Dictator of Fascist Italy from 1922 to 1943 "Mussolini" redirects here.
