Image via WikipediaSardinia is an island located to the west of mainland Italy in the Mediterranean Sea south of Rome and almost entirely south of Naples. Don't be surprised that spring starts early here. And it is beautiful, at least much of the time. Many people feel that Sardinian spring weather is more pleasant than that of the Sardinian summer. So you have yet another reason to vacation here during Primavera. The small town of Sardara, population about 4500, is located some 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Cagliari, the regional capital in the south of the island. On March 12 it commemorates the death of its Patron Saint San Gregorio Magno in the lovely early Fourteenth Century church that carries his name. This is the religious ceremony. The festive version occurs on September 3.
