Sa die de sa Sardinia is the feast of the Sardinian people who remember the so-called "Vespers Sardis," that the popular uprising of April 28, 1794, he moved to Cagliari from the Piedmont and the viceroy Balbiano following the government's refusal to meet the demands of Turin 'owner of the island kingdom of Sardinia.
Sardinians asked that they be given part of the civil and military positions and greater independence from the decisions of the local ruling class. The Piedmontese government refused to accept any request, so the middle class with the help of the rest of the population triggered the insurrection.
The movement of rebellion was started in the eighties of the Eighteenth century and was continued in the nineties reaching the island. The reasons were political and economic order together.
The reason for the popular discontent was due to the fact that Sardinia had been involved in the war against revolutionary France of European states and hence against Piedmont. In 1793 a French fleet attempted to seize the island, landing at Carlisle and then insisting in Cagliari. The Sardinians, however, resisted by all means, in defense of their land and then ruled that the Piedmont Sardinia. This resistance to the French had inspired the souls, so it was expected to be recognized and rewarded by the government for the loyalty of Savoy the Crown.
The spark that blew up the protest the arrest was ordered by the Viceroy of two leaders of the patriotic party, lawyers Vincent Cabras Cagliari and Efisio Pintor. We are just at the April 28, 1794: the population angry he decided to leave the city Balbiano the viceroy and all the Piedmontese, who in May of that year were boarded by force and returned to their region. Encouraged by the events Cagliari, the people of Alghero and Sassari did the same.
