The Sardinian landscape seems burdened by the dissemination of three different monocultures. First, the pastoral monoculture, which is child to a recent genetic and invasive mutation, that threatens to monopolize the rural world with the disadvantage of other productive activities, starting from the agricultural ones. Second, the seaside tourism monoculture, pinning visitors (and Sardinians, at the same time) on modalities and timings in a concentration limited to a few months each year, favouring a component which is obviously significant for the heritage of the Sardinian landscape, but which altogether is not exhaustive of its great beauty. Last, the petrochemical monoculture, the interferences of which discredit the environmental and identity value of the places, and that, with its crisis, worsens a pre-existing socio-economic gap, with no way out in sight yet.

Abstract

The Sardinian landscape seems burdened by the dissemination of three different monocultures. First, the pastoral monoculture, which is child to a recent genetic and invasive mutation, that threatens to monopolize the rural world with the disadvantage of other productive activities, starting from the agricultural ones. Second, the seaside tourism monoculture, pinning visitors (and Sardinians, at the same time) on modalities and timings in a concentration limited to a few months each year, favouring a component which is obviously significant for the heritage of the Sardinian landscape, but which altogether is not exhaustive of its great beauty. Last, the petrochemical monoculture, the interferences of which discredit the environmental and identity value of the places, and that, with its crisis, worsens a pre-existing socio-economic gap, with no way out in sight yet.
