The area of San Gavino Monreale (Santu 'Engiu) was already settled in the Roman Republican era, known as the Nuragic on Sardinia. The center of the modern town is of medieval origin. It was a possession of the Giudicato of Arborea. One of the four independent judicates into which the island of Sardinia was divided during the medieval era. Aragon becane an imperial power in the Mediterranean at the dawn of the modern era and gained control of Sardinia. Castille in contrast ventured out into the Atlantic. Sardinia was transferred from Aragon/Spain to the House of Savoy (early 18th century). The House of Savoy became the Italian ruling family (mid-19th century). The result was to make Sardinia part of the new unified Italian nation. San Gavino was a fief of the Centelles and the Osorio families, Spanish grandees until 1839. Sardinians were involved in the migration to the Americas (late-19th and eaely-20th centuries), but unlike Sicily, mostly emigrated to South Anerica. San Gavino in southern Sardinia is located about 45 km northwest of Cagliari and midway Cagliri and Oristano. Here we have a colorized copy of a class photo taken in the San Gavino village school. The photo is undated, but probably taken in the 1950s. This looks like a class, perhpoas a 3rd grade class, meaning 8-9 year old. About half of the children wear dark smocks, many with white collars and colored bows. Most, but notn all of th children are barefoot. We can see their substantial school building behind them. Weare not sure about the accuracy of the color reproduction.
