The Province of South Sardinia (Italian: Provincia del Sud Sardegna) is an Italian province of Sardinia instituted on 4 February 2016. It includes the suppressed provinces of Carbonia-Iglesias and Medio Campidano, great part of the old Province of Cagliari (without the 17 municipalities of the new Metropolitan City), and two other municipalities.[1]

History

South Sardinia was instituted as a result of the reform law provinces in Sardinia (Regional Law 2/2016).[1] Once activated will include great part 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.
