If Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, with 2,000 kilometers of spectacular coastline and some of the most pristine scenery in the world, you might ask, why don't Americans know much about it?
That question has dogged me most of my life, particularly when, for example, someone will say, "Your mother is from Sardinia? Oh, my grandparents came from Sicily, too!" Or, "I've always wanted to go to Corsica. What's it like?" Just yesterday my hairdresser, combing through my somewhat parched mane after my return from a visit there, advised, "You know, you really should wear a hat when you go to Argentina."
