Province of Gallura North-East Sardinia

The province of Olbia-Tempio was absorbed into the province of Sassari by a regional decree in 2016. On April 12, 2021, under Sardinian Regional Council's Regional Law No. 7, the province was restored under the name of "Province of North-East Sardinia" (provincia del Nord-Est Sardegna). Whilst the Italian government challenged the law, thus stalling its implementation, on March 12, 2022, the constitutional court ruled in favor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia. In October 2023, in accordance with Article 120 of Regional Law No. 9, the province was renamed "Gallura North-East Sardinia". The province became fully functional on April 1, 2025. == Geography ==
