Places to see in ( Sardinia - Italy ) Nuoro
Nuoro is a city and comune in central-eastern Sardinia, Italy, situated on the slopes of the Monte Ortobene. It is the capital of the province of Nuoro. With a population of 36,347, it is the sixth-largest city in Sardinia. Birthplace of several renowned artists, including writers, poets, painters, and sculptors, Nuoro hosts some of the most important museums in Sardinia. It is considered an important cultural center of the region and it has been referred as the Atene sarda (Sardinian Athens). Nuoro is the hometown of Grazia Deledda, the first and only Italian woman to win (1926) the Nobel Prize in Literature.
The earliest traces of human settlement in the Nuoro area (called the Nuorese) are the so-called Domus de janas, rock-cut tombs dated at the third millennium BC. However, fragments of ceramics of the Ozieri culture have also been discovered and dated at c. 3500 BC. he Nuorese was crossed by a Roman road which connected Karalis (Cagliari) to Ulbia (Olbia). The legacy of the Roman colonization can especially be found in the variety of the Sardinian language which is still spoken today in Nuoro: Sardu nugoresu is considered the most conservative lect of the Romance family.
Nuoro is served by the SS 131 DCN (Olbia-Abbasanta), the SS 129 (Orosei-Macomer), and the SS 389 (Monti-Lanusei). ARST, Azienda Regionale Sarda Trasporti provide regular connections to Cagliari, Sassari, Olbia, and to several minor centres in the province and the region. Other private operators (including Deplano Autolinee, Turmotravel, Redentours) connects Nuoro to various cities and airports in the island. Nuoro is connected by train to Macomer via Ferrovie della Sardegna.

SARDEGNA - Attraverso la Barbagia, da Orosei a Orgosolo. Ep#1
Orgosolo, Lodine, Mamoiada, Lollove e Orosei
Pensavate alla solita vacanza in Sardegna, spiaggia, mare e acqua azzurra? Beh avete sbagliato, in questa nuova serie vi portiamo a scoprire quello che si cela nel vero cuore della Sardegna, l'entroterra in Barbagia, con le sue tradizioni, la storia e le sue fantastiche persone.
La nostra avventura inizia ad Orosei, bellissima cittadina sulla costa orientale dove assistiamo ad un matrimonio e all'usanza di rompere i piatti all'uscita degli sposi dalla chiesa. Carichi da questa esperienza ci mettiamo alla scoperta dell'entroterra Sardo, come se a noi il mare non piacesse. La decisione non poteva essere delle migliori: Lollove, paese quasi abbandonato, con soli 16 abitanti, dal fascino indescrivibile e fermo nel tempo. Lodine, con i suoi serrandales, i murales che ricoprono le serrande e saracinesche di tutto il paese. Mamoiada e il carnevale dei Mamutones e Orgosolo, una volta conosciuto come il paese del banditismo, oggi diventato una delle chicche da non perdere durante i vostri viaggi in Sardegna, con i suoi murales che ricoprono le facciate di tutto il paese. Un'esperienza da non perdere soprattuto se visitata a bordo di un' Ape. Noi vi consigliamo di fare un bel tour con Peppino, una fantastica persona che ha tante storie interessanti da raccontarvi su questo paese della Barbagia:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cagliari (UK: , US: ; Italian: [ˈkaʎʎari] (listen); Sardinian: Casteddu [kasˈteɖːu]; Latin: Caralis) is an Italian municipality and the capital of the island of Sardinia, an autonomous region of Italy. Cagliari's Sardinian name Casteddu literally means castle. It has about 155,000 inhabitants, while its metropolitan city (including Cagliari and 16 other nearby municipalities) has more than 431,000 inhabitants. According to Eurostat, the population of the Functional urban area, the commuting zone of Cagliari, rises to 476,974.
Cagliari is the 26th largest city in Italy and the largest city on the island of Sardinia.
An ancient city with a long history, Cagliari has seen the rule of several civilisations. Under the buildings of the modern city there is a continuous stratification attesting to human settlement over the course of some five thousand years, from the Neolithic to today. Historical sites include the prehistoric Domus de Janas, very damaged by cave activity, a large Carthaginian era necropolis, a Roman era amphitheatre, a Byzantine basilica, three Pisan-era towers and a strong system of fortification that made the town the core of Spanish Habsburg imperial power in the western Mediterranean Sea. Its natural resources have always been its sheltered harbour, the often powerfully fortified hill of Castel di Castro, the modern Casteddu, the salt from its lagoons, and, from the hinterland, wheat from the Campidano plain and silver and other ores from the Iglesiente mines.
Cagliari was the capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia from 1324 to 1848, when Turin became the formal capital of the kingdom (which in 1861 became the Kingdom of Italy). Today the city is a regional cultural, educational, political and artistic centre, known for its diverse Art Nouveau architecture and several monuments. It is also Sardinia's economic and industrial hub, having one of the biggest ports in the Mediterranean Sea, an international airport, and the 106th highest income level in Italy (among 8,092 comuni), comparable to that of several northern Italian cities.It is also the seat of the University of Cagliari, founded in 1607, and of the Primate Roman Catholic archdiocese of Sardinia, since the 5th century AD.
