arzanas.....fresh breezes????
HISTORICAL SIGNS
Arzana has many ancient origins. Throughout the area, there are archaeological testimonies which originate from the pre-nuragic to the nuragic and Roman periods.
As for the origin of the territory’s name, there are several hypotheses; one is that it derives from “Arthana” which, in Sardinian, means mildew; in fact the word “arthanau” is also lamb cooled by humidity or ice. Another hypothesis is that it derives from the Latin “aer sanum”, which means healthy air, in reference to the territory which is still recognized for its climate and source of granite spring water. This Latin term also means fresh breeze.

I like it but if you want opinions you should really go to the opnions board, because you're way more likely to find opnions there than here at the facts board.---------------------------------------------------------------------
