Baradili

Province: Oristano · Region: Sardinia · Population: 90 · Postal code: 09090

It is the least populous comune in Sardinia. It belonged to the Judicate of Arborea, then to the Aragonese when the judicate fell, then to the marquisate of Quirra, and in 1839 the inhabitants bought it out from the last feudal lords — the same who also held Setzu. In 1927 the comune was abolished and merged into Baressa; it became independent again in 1945.

The village feast comes from a legend with a modest, perfect miracle inside it. On a thirteenth of July long ago some young men, ploughing, found a small statue of Saint Margaret; they took it to the parish priest, who was at table before a plate with three ravioli. The whole village came running, and those ravioli were enough for everybody. Since then the saint is also called here «the one of the ravioli».
