Degree of autonomy
The island of Sardinia is one of the five autonomous territories within Italy, just as Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Sicily, Trentino-Alto Adige/South Tyrol and Aosta Valley. As these autonomies, Sardinia has one executive and one legislative body, called Giunta regionale and Consiglio regionale, which have powers on several issues.
Comments
Unlike the rest of autonomous territories in Italy, the Statute ruling the island recognizes the existence of the Sardinian people.
