A subcommittee of sorcerers from Sardinia did something of historical relevance at some point in time, though we have no idea what or when.

Sardinia, part of Italy, is an island in the Mediterranean Sea southwest of Rome.

Commentary
Notes
Rowling likely featured this particular fact because she liked the tongue-twister element of it. Imagine Fred and George trying to say "subcommittee of Sardinian sorcerers" five times fast!
