Sardinian autonomism

Sardinian autonomism refers to the political movement in Sardinia, an Italian island, advocating for greater self-government and cultural recognition. This movement seeks increased autonomy from the Italian government, emphasizing the island's unique history, language, and traditions. Proponents argue that greater control over local resources and policies would better address Sardinia's distinct needs and promote economic development. Autonomism in Sardinia has roots in both preservation of cultural identity and demands for political rights, reflecting a broader trend in regions with strong local identities seeking to assert their interests within larger national frameworks.
