Badesi
Badesi combines a compact hilltop townscape with an open coastal plain in a way that reflects its position on northern Sardinia. The comune lies above the lower valley of the Coghinas, whose river reaches the Gulf of Asinara near the coast. Badesi’s built-up centre stands inland from the long sandy shore known as Li Junchi, a beach area within the municipality. Everyday life here unfolds between the agricultural lowlands and the sea-facing coast, while Castelsardo lies farther east along the gulf. Badesi belongs to the historic region of Anglona in the Province of Sassari, where Sardinian traditions remain part of local identity. Tiled-roof homes, cultivated land and broad horizons give the settlement a distinctive north-coast character.

Sardinia combines a rugged mountainous interior with far-reaching coasts in a way that reflects its position within the western Mediterranean. Near these central coordinates, granite uplands, grazing land and small settlements shape an island interior where local traditions remain part of daily life. The Gennargentu range is Sardinia’s highest mountain area, while the Tirso, the island’s longest river, runs west across its interior. Sardinia is also the land of the Nuragic civilisation: thousands of prehistoric stone nuraghi still punctuate the countryside.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
