Cagliari means Sun!
Cagliari Sun_ny city of Italy!
We’ve realized that Cagliari = Sun is not just “a speech in the city”, but a real science-fact.
Reading the book “L’Elefante sulla Torre” (The Elephant on the Tower) by Francesco Alziator on the generality of the Italian cities, Cagliari has a huge average exposure to the sun with more than 2700 hours per year. We filled interested in, so we woulded understand what is really the phenomenon of Eliofania (sunshine).
Watching the datas from the various websites of meteo and wikipedia we also have downloaded a report from the Italian Air Force such as a study carried out from 1950 to 1985 and the data compared, testing station to station, are unequivocal.
Cagliari, Alghero and Olbia with Gela and Palinuro (in Sicily) are the most sunny places in whole Italy thanks to the phenomenon of Sunshine.
Of course at the European level Faro (Portugal) has a record much greater with 3100 hours per year but we can really enjoy the fact that Cagliari is absolutely “kissed by Elios” also statistically and not just as a way of saying!
During the calendar there are 8765 hours per year, not counting the 50% as night-time, in Cagliari sun shines for 31% of the time 🙂
What are you waiting for? Come to visit us!
Now you know the reason why we’ve called our guesthouse Ca ‘del Sol (House of the Sun) 😉
