Sorso (Sassarese: Sòssu) is a comune (municipality) of c. 14,700 inhabitants in the province of Sassari in the Italian region Sardinia, located about 8 kilometres (5 mi) north of Sassari.

Overview

[edit]

Sorso is a tourist resort facing the Gulf of Asinara. Apart tourism, the economy is mostly based on agriculture. The local dialect is a variant of Sassarese.

The judike (King) Barisone III of Torres was assassinated at Sorso during a peasant revolt in 1236.
