Untold Italy · Friday, July 24, 2026
Angela Carrias touches on the sensitive topic of Sardinian identity, stating that while Sardinians consider themselves Italian, they often prioritize their Sardinian identity when protecting their unique culture. This distinction is underscored by the fact that the Sardinian language is not understood by most Italians.
“Do Sardinians consider themselves to be Italian? Were they more Sardinian? That's a little lot tricky and sensitive, because yes, of course we consider ourselves Italian. But yeah, sometimes when they want to be a little bit like protective of our culture, we say we first we are Sardinians, then we are Italians.”
“Our culture and our language is completely different. If I speak Sardinia here in Rome, nobody understands anything.”
