Fertilia
Fertilia [fer-tì-lia] is a frazione (hamlet) in the municipality of Alghero in the province of Sassari, Sardinia, Italy that was built in the 1930s. Due to a development program made by the Fascist regime, people from the Province of Ferrara were brought into the settlement, which has resulted in a sizeable community in the hamlet speaking the Ferrarese dialect. Fertilia lies between Fertilia Airport and the city of Alghero.

==History== The transformation of the Nurra marshland began in the late 19th century with the reclamation of the Calich coastal lagoon, thanks to the work of inmates from the nearby Alghero prison and the Cuguttu penal colony. The work continued in 1927 with the construction of the Calik Village designed by Pier Luigi Carloni.
