"Su patriotu sardu a sos feudatarios" ("The Sardinian Patriot to the Lords"), widely known also by its incipit as "Procurade 'e moderare" ("Endeavor to Moderate"), is a protest and antifeudal folk song in the culture of Sardinia.
The chant was written in Logudorese Sardinian by the lawyer Francesco Ignazio Mannu (Sardinian: Frantziscu Ignàtziu Mannu) on the occasion of the Sardinian mass revolts (1793–1796) against the Savoyard feudal system, that culminated with the execution or expulsion from the island of the officials of the ruling House of Savoy on 28 April 1794 (officially commemorated today as Sa die de sa Sardigna or "Sardinian people's day"). Because of its temporal coincidence with the French Revolution, the song was also nicknamed by J. W. Tyndale and other scholars like Auguste Boullier as "the Sardinian Marseillaise".
Long regarded as a national anthem in Sardinian culture, "Su patriotu sardu a sos feudatarios" was officially declared as the island's anthem in 2018.
