To go back to the table of genetic distances:
the samples from the city of Alghero (whose four grandparents were natives of the same city, according to the study) are distant from the samples from Nuoro at 20.19 against 5.12 compared to the samples from Sassari.

Alghero distance to Sassari : 5.12
Alghero distance to Cagliari : 6.88
Alghero distance to Baleares : 12.97
Alghero distance to "Central Italians" (Lazio et Abruzzo here) : 15.12
Alghero distance to Sicilians: 16.32
Alghero distance to "Southern Italy" (Calabria and Apulia) : 16.54
Alghero distance to Northern Catalans (Catalans from France) : 16.76
Alghero distance to Southern Catalans (Catalans from Spain) : 17.51
Alghero distance to Nuoro : 20.19
Alghero distance to "Northern Italians" (Lombardie et Emilia-Romagne) : 21.65
Alghero distance to Galicians (Spain) : 21.73

For comparison, here is the genetic distance between Nuoro natives and others
Nuoro distance to Sassari : 5.25
Nuoro distance to : 15.35
Nuoro distance to Alghero : 20.19
Nuoro distance to "Central Italians" (Lazio et Abruzzo) : 29.41
Nuoro distance to Sicilians : 30.76
Nuoro distance to Southern Catalans (Spain-Catalunya) : 35.41
Nuoro distance to "Northern Italians" (Lombardie et Emilie-Romagne) : 35.74
Nuoro distance to Baleares : 36.02
Nuoro distance to "Southern Italians" (Calabria and Apulia) : 36.23
Nuoro distance to Northern Catalans (France-Catalogne) : 40.35
Nuoro distance to Galicians : 47.59
