geography

Arborea is located about 16 km south of Oristano on the Mediterranean . The neighboring municipalities are: Marrubiu , Santa Giusta and Terralba .

history

The place was laid out strictly geometrically under the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini with the name Mussolinia until 1928 . The village was inaugurated on October 29, 1928, and two years later it became a separate municipality with the name Mussolinia di Sardegna . After the Duce's deposition , Mussolinia was renamed Arborea on February 17, 1944 . The number of residents had risen to over three thousand in these six years.

At the point where Arborea is located, there was only bog for centuries , which was drained in a reclamation project from 1919 . Large parts of the agricultural land obtained in this way were given to settlers from Veneto . To this day, in the third and fourth generation, some of them speak a Venetian dialect in an otherwise Sardinian environment.
