From Logudoro-Meilogu area developed in the island the culture of Ozieri la cultura di Ozieri

The Logudoro-Meilogu is a very wide area in the Northly Sardinia. It is bounded on the West by the Nurra, on the North-West by the area of Sassari, on the North-East by the Anglona, on the East by the Mont Acuto-Goceano and on the South-South-West by the Marghine-Planargia. It is mostly volcanogenic and its mountains (mostly generated from lava stream) are not so high (less than 800 mts).

Above all in its southern side, it consists of many uplands, where the most famous is that of Campeda: the continual wash erosion in the course of time has eroded them generating wide valleys and some hollows. The Temo, Mannu and Coghinas rivers are the most important rivers which pass throught the Logudoro-Meilogu area. Ozieri town boasts a very important role in the history of Sardinia.

During the Neolithic period, Ozieri developped a very civilized culture (the so called “cultura di Ozieri”) which was able to condition the pre-nuragic people of the island, both in the funerary art (The Domus de Janas are the most interesting exemple) and in daily activities as agriculture, sheep farming, metals and stones working. During the medieval period and exactly after to be passed under the control of the "Giudicato di Arborea" , the ancient "Othieri" became the chief town of the Monte Acuto "curatorìa". After that the Aragonese and spanish occupation caused a period of decadence and Ozieri could recover its important political and economical position only in the XVIII century. From the 1803 (when the diocese was still called Bisarcio) it became episcopal seat. In this area developed also the so called Bonnànaro culture, which extended in many areas of Sardinia and produced remarkable handmade potteries between the 1800 e il 1200 B.C.
