Morphology

The territory of Meilogu is mainly volcanic and the cinder cones make it unique in the context of a geologically ancient land, so much so that the Italian soldier and naturalist Alberto La Marmora had called it Sardinian Auvergne.^[1] Its soils are therefore among the most fertile of the island.
