The first settlement dates back to the Roman period. In the Middle Ages, Pauli, was included in the giudicato of Cagliari, curatoria del Campidano di Càlari. In 1258, after the dismemberment of the giudicato, it was administered by the Pisans until 1324 when, following the Aragonese conquest, it was granted as a feud. In 1348 came the plague that decimated the village of Pauli. In 1366 the feudal lord William Canelles, was opposed by Arborean troops who occupied the territory until 1410. Pauli returned to the Kingdom of Sardinia after the Battle of Sanluri. In 1426 the village was granted to the Count of San Lorenzo, Dalmazio Sanjust, who boosted wine farming. After the abolition of feudalism, Pauli was an autonomous municipality in the province of Cagliari in 1848 until 1928, when it became a district of Cagliari. By referendum on 11/18/1991 Pauli regained autonomy. The name “Pauli or Paulli” means swamp but was declined into other names: Paùly, Paùli Pirri, Paùli Monserrato and since April 11, 1888,Monserrato. Monserrato is located in southern Sardinia and is part of the Cagliari Metropolitan City area. The urban center is characterized by its Campidanese houses in “ladino” and tuff and its cellars. The local Sardinian traditional clothing typical for women is called “Su fordallinu.”
