Notes on the Poster “Map of Natural Stones from Sardinia (Italy)” Nicola Careddu1,a*, Massimo Scanu2,b and Paolo Desogus3,c 1Civil, Environmental Engineering and Architecture Dept.
Although it is not expect any (immediate) financial advantage following the publication of the poster, it has been welcome by many: it has increased awareness of the natural stone resources of Sardinia, and has raised interest in the island’s natural resources amongst authoritative specialists and civil society alike.
