The green Trexenta, the granary of the ancient Rome

The Trexenta area is a mostly hilly region which is bounded by the Campidano area in the south, the Sarcidano one in the north, the Gerrei one in the east, the Marmilla one in the west and the Parteolla one in the south-east. Mountains are not so high: the highest top is Mont San Mauro (501 mts). This territory is particularly enchanting in winter and spring, when valleies become all green thanks to the rain and the landscape assume a new fascination. The Flumini Mannu guarantees a right supply of water but the trexenta area is also passed throught many other smaller important water streams.

It was regarded as the granary of Rome by the Romans and the Emperor Giulio Cesare for the local considerable production of wheat, which was certainly favoured by the fertility of that lands. The cereal activity is still one of the most agricultural interest, above all since many marshland reclamations and water works. Nevertheless also the viticulture is very important. The name "Trexenta" derives from the about 300 small villages which were set centuries ago in that area.
