The history of Villanova Monteleone rather was neglected from historians and biographers of the antiquity, perhaps because shied away from the most important Sassari, Alghero, Bosa.

It did not be however neglected from the human attendance since the most ancient times how show the numerous "Domus Janas says" in the zone of "Badde Filighe", of "knows loa Tiracassu says" and Mountain Minerva, where see some graffiti on the rock and of the restive of numerous nuraghi like Nuraghe Appiu, in zone you Ascend Cuccu, the nuraghe "Badde Chera" in zone "Badde Chera", and other two.

In the period giudicale (1000) this territory fece leaves some curatoria of the Nurcara, in the judgement of Torres. With the creation, to work of pope Bonifacio VIII in 1297 of the "Regnum Sardiniae set Corsicae", verified themselves a long series of wars for the possession of the island that developed themselves until the definitive domination aragonese that concluded themselves in 1479, when the kingdom passed in the hands of the Spanishes. During this period the former judgement of Torres was split in much parts otherwise governed. 

The scholars seem unanimous in the to retain that Villanova Monteleone. is been been based on of it in 1436, to work of the survivors of the borgo and of the castle of Monteleone Roccadoria, stormed to I continue of three long years of siege operated from the troops of the viceroy Giacomo Besora. The monteleonesi would have taken refuge in the neighboring territory to the inside of a thick forest, where would have built it "Villa Nueva says Monteleone". In the XVI century the village divenne stronghold of the Brunengo from which was ransomed in 1839.

This version however is not supported from some historical document while a document of 1364 restored from Easter Tola in the diplomatic code of the Sardinia, put before the foundation to at least a first century; you have restored the boundaries of the "Saltus says Potifigar" dedicated in stronghold from the king, Don Pietro IV OF aragona to the noble Pietro Boyl: Alghero, Uri, Villanova, Olmedo, Ittiri. This document besides informs us that the geopolitical structure of the territory is remained unchanged for centuries.

No historian has moreover experienced the existence of Villanova before the XIV.

In 1582 the village was robbed from the pirates barbareschi, that kidnapped a big in person number and the condussero on the beach, until the intervention of the baron of Putifigari Pietro Boyl, did not determine the liberation of the slaves. 

In 1708 the Sardinia knew the Austrian domination, and in 1720 that of the Piemontese one that lasted until the united Italy(1861). In the first half of the XIX century the country counted 3950 inhabitants, the territory was rich of woodland vegetation and enormous the agricultural and zootechnic property.

In 1830 Villanova it accommodated the historian Of The Marmora than described the morphological appearance of the territory. Only in 1837 under Carlo Alberto later on to the issuing of a measure I improved some postal service in Sardinia, a post office was founded also to Villanova Monteleone.
