Dolianova (Sardinian: Pattiòlla) is an Italiantown and comune in the province of Cagliari,Sardinia. The town was born on 25 June 1905from the fusion of two centers: Sicci SanBiagio and San Pantaleo. Its economy is basedon agriculture (wine and olive oil). The name"Dolianova" has obscure origins. It is thoughtto be related to the Latin "Pars Olea" (Place ofOil).

History

The first documents about Dolia dates back to1089, when the bishop Virgilio signed the actof foundation of the monasteries of SaintsGiorgio and Genesio, created by the will ofArzone, judge of Cagliari.

In 1503 the diocese of Dolia was united withthe diocese of Cagliari.

At the end of the era of Giudicati, SanPantaleo and Sicci followed different roads:the first one became a fief of Suelli's bishop.Then, the archbishops of Cagliari, becomebarons, made San Pantaleo the most importantcentre of the zone, which exercised its poweron the villages of Donori, Serdiana, Sicci,Soleminis and Ussana.

The small village of Sicci San Biagio, duringthe Aragonese domination, was transformedinto a baronage and assigned to Raimondo DeAmburra. Sicci thenceforth became a fief ofthe dukes of Mandas y Tellez Giròn deAlcantara, who maintained it until the end offeudalism. In 1846 San Pantaleo had 1360inhabitants, Sicci 727.

The two ancient villages of San Pantaleo andSicci San Biagio, once separated by the greatgardens of the villa of marchionnesses Boyl ofPutifigari (which is now the museum of oil “SaMola de su Notariu”), are the two quartiers ofthe modern Dolianova.
