Serrenti

Serrenti is a town and comune (municipality) in the Province of Medio Campidano in the autonomous island region of Sardinia in Italy, located about 35 kilometres (22 mi) northwest of Cagliari and about 9 kilometres (6 mi) southeast of Sanluri. It has 4,425 inhabitants.

Serrenti borders the municipalities of Furtei, Guasila, Nuraminis, Samassi, Samatzai, Sanluri, and Serramanna.

The area has been inhabited since the Nuragic period, as evidenced by the presence of numerous nuraghi within the territory. Notable examples include Bruncu Su Castiu, located at the edge of the State Road S.S. 131, as well as Monti Mannu, Genna Serrenti, and Cuccuru Turri, situated on the hills to the north of the town.

Near the current settlement, the ruins of ancient Roman villages can be found in the localities of Gutturrosa, Sa Conca Manna, and Santus Angius.

During the Middle Ages, the village was part of the Giudicato of Cagliari and belonged to the Curatoria of Nuraminis. Following the fall of the Giudicato in 1258, it came under Pisan rule and, around 1355, passed to the Aragonese. Under Aragonese and later Spanish dominion, the village shared the historical fate of the other settlements within the former Curatoria. In 1519, when Ludovico Bellit was granted the title of Baron of Monastir, the village was annexed to the barony. Subsequently (in 1355), it was granted as a fief by Peter IV of Aragon, known as "the Ceremonious," to Francesco di Valguarnera. After the extinction of the Valguarnera lineage in 1436, the village passed under the control of various feudal families.

In 1736, during the Savoyard period, the village came under the rule of the Simon and Ricca di Castelvecchio families. It remained under feudal control until 1839, when the feudal system was abolished in the Kingdom of Sardinia. From that time, it became an autonomous municipality governed by a mayor and a municipal council.

As of 2026, the population is 4,425, of which 50.5% are male, and 49.5% are female. Minors make up 12.0% of the population, and seniors make up 30.8%.

The variety of Sardinian spoken in Serrenti is Western Campidanese.
