Serru, very rare, is certainly Sardinian, typical of Guspini in the middle Campidano. Integrations provided by Giuseppe Concas SERRU: Last name very rare, diffused only in 14 municipalities of Italy, of which 11 in Sardinia: Guspini 37, Terralba 7, Villacidro 6, Olbia 3, Gonnosfanadiga 3, Selargius 3, Axemini 3, Nuoro 3, Quartu S. E. 3, San Gavino 3, Cagliari 3. In two Tuscan municipalities: with Livorno 3, and Siena (PROV) 3; and Rome with 7. Serru, sattu de Serru = jump of Serru, not to be confused with Serri, small town (ab. 760) of Sarcidano (joined the province of Cagliari, with the creation of the new provinces, already belonging to the Prov. of Nuoro). Serru is a place you can say unique in Sardinia and in the world, located in the countryside of Gonnosfanadiga, excellent for the goodness of its humus that has granted and grants, to the Gonnesi, once with its vineyards, today with the olive groves, incomparable products of the Earth: Wine Monica Red and OR Lio Extra virgin of divine quality! It was the seat of flourishing nuraghic civilisation, of which traces remain visible, but it was undoubtedly a real Roman settlement, flowered in the aftermath of the Roman conquest of the island. The abundance of archaeological, nuraghic and Roman remains confirm this thesis. Without concealing, as hitherto has been done, that the present olive groves, in their subsoil, reserve so many things still to be discovered, but the fear of the owners, to see bound by the Superintendency their olive groves and uprooted those wonderful evergreens, is more Strong of curiosity. We do not know what fate had Serru, (missing written evidence), after the passage of Sardinia to Byzantium; For sure it was visited by the Byzantine monks, of which there remain very rare traces, among which the numerous churches dedicated to the saints of the Greek Menologio, scattered in the territory and of which today remain the ruins. But Serru was also "Villa" and as such is counted in the old cards. The "Villa" or rather the "oppidum" of Serru is quoted in the work of Giovanni Francesco Fara, "In Sardiniae Chorographiam" (work finished shortly before his death in Sassari on November 15, 1591), which reads:... Ubi olim erat iudicatus colostrai, seu curatoriae de Arbus, et nunc extant oppida Arbus, Serri (sic) et guspini interiereque priscae back a ptolemaeo memoratae Osaeae et Neapolis, deceased
