Sardinia is the windest region in Italy, but large part of the ancient windmills are in ruins or destroyed, however the island has a lot of modern wind farms:

Duloe Mill, Eaton Socon.

I used to marvel at it on the way to school every morning; my mother used to cycle to school in a trailer attached to the back of her bicycle with the dog.

l've some which are local.. but this one's far prettier
http://blogs.lib.ku.edu/spencer/going-dutch-the-lawrence-windmill/

The idea to erect the mill came from business partners John Wilder and Andrew Palmquist (whose name was later changed to Palm when he became a naturalized U.S. citizen). Palm returned to his native Sweden for several months to get help with the mill’s design. He brought back machinery as well as several millwrights—craftsmen who specialized in building windmills. Construction on the mill began in July of 1863. The mill sustained some minor damage during William Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence on August 21st of that same year. However, the damage was quickly repaired and the mill was completed in June of 1864. The Lawrence windmill had two sets of millstones—one to grind corn and the other to grind wheat—which were imported from France due to their high quality. The windmill measured 64 feet above ground level and each of the arms was 34 feet long. It had an octagonal shape, with shingles on the upper part of the windmill and a base made of stone. These features are considered typical of Dutch windmills. However, the Lawrence windmill had a unique feature with its onion-shaped dome, which can be seen on some Swedish churches.
