Sardinia's capital and largest city — pastel-painted old town (Castello) overlooking the Mediterranean, Poetto Beach 10 minutes from centre, and a markedly different rhythm from mainland Italy (Sardinian dialect, Catalan-Spanish heritage in Alghero 3 hours north). Population around 150k. Cost is lower than Rome or Milan, comparable to Palermo, with mid-tier coastal Italian rent. Coworking has built out since 2022; Wi-Fi is reliable. Italy's DNV applies — €28,000/yr income, 1-year + renewable. Cagliari Elmas airport has direct flights to most European hubs in season; ferries to mainland Italy and Corsica.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
