Special Statute for the Autonomous Region of Sardinia, 1948

A constitutional law made Sardinia an autonomous region with its own juridical personality within the Italian Republic.

What happened

Constitutional Law No. 3 of 26 February 1948 constituted Sardinia, with its islands, an autonomous Region with juridical personality "within the political unity of the Italian Republic, one and indivisible," with Cagliari as its capital.[1] Sardinia thereby became one of Italy's five special-statute autonomous regions, alongside Sicily, Valle d'Aosta, Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.[2]
