To know
Geographical notes
Buggerru is located in the historical region ofIglesiente and borders on Fluminimaggiore is Iglesias.
Background
Its birth, in 1864, is linked to the mining events of south-western Sardinia.
Looking at the demographic evolution of the country it can be seen that, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the population of Buggerru was five times that of the beginning of the twenty-first century; this is because in those years the town was experiencing the most flourishing period of its mines. At that time the town was called "petit Paris" or "little Paris" because the mining managers who had moved to the mining village with their families had recreated a certain cultural environment. Among these Achille Georgiades, a Greek from Constantinople who arrived in Sardinia in 1903 to manage the mines of the Societé des mines de Malfidano in Paris, whose operational headquarters in Sardinia was Buggerru. There was also the Frenchman Georges Perrier who ran a cinema; in addition, in the village there was also a theater and a club reserved for the small elite of the French company executives. On the other hand there were the miners who worked in inhumane conditions, underpaid and forced into grueling shifts, often victims of fatal accidents at work; these were organized in the Federation of Miners. In 1904, following the tightening of the treatment imposed by Georgiades, the miners refused to work and presented their requests to the French company; in response they called the army which fired on the workers, killing three and wounding many others. That Sunday 4 September 1904 will be remembered as the date of the Buggerru massacre, for which the first general strike in Italy will be made.
It was established as an autonomous municipality in 1960 with the homonymous hamlet detached from the municipality of Fluminimaggiore.
