What is a Comune?
In Italy, a comune is like a local government area or a municipality. Think of it as a town or city, along with the land around it, that has its own local administration. Each comune has a mayor and a council that make decisions for the people living there. Martis is one of these many comuni in Italy.
Population Changes Over Time
The number of people living in Martis has changed quite a bit over the years. This is called demographic evolution. Looking at records, we can see how the population grew and shrank at different times.
For example, in 1861, there were 922 people in Martis. The population grew over time, reaching its highest point in 1911 with 1,285 residents. After that, the numbers started to go down. By 2001, the population was 630 people. This kind of change can happen for many reasons, like people moving to bigger cities for work or families having fewer children.
