History
The province of Ogliastra roughly corresponds to the medieval Judicate of Agugliastra.
The province was founded in 2001 when the number of Sardinian provinces was doubled.
On 6 May 2012, the regional referendums of Sardinia took place regarding the abolition of certain provinces and a variety of other matters. The suggestion of reforming or abolishing certain provinces in Sardinia was approved by the Regional Council of Sardinia on 24 May 2012.[5] Due to this, the province of Ogliastra was ordered to form a new administrative body or be abolished on 1 March 2013, but this expiry date for constitutional changes was extended to 1 July 2013.[6][7][8][9] After the regional law number 15 of 28 June 2013, the province was allowed to maintain its functions,[10] before it was eventually disestablished in 2016, all of its municipalities but one joined the Province of Nuoro, with the municipality of Seui joining the newly-established Province of South Sardinia.
In April 2021, under Sardinian Regional Council's Regional Law Nr. 7,[11] the province was restored with 22 municipalities; the municipality of Seulo remained a part of the province of Nuoro, whilst the comune of Seui joined the metropolitan city of Cagliari.[12] Whilst the Italian government challenged the law,[13] thus stalling its implementation,[14] on March 12, 2022, the Constitutional Court ruled in favor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.[15] On April 13, 2023, the regional council, at the proposal of the regional government, approved an amendment to the 2021 reform, defining the timeframe and manner of its implementation, which became effective on 1 May 2025.[4]
