Il contributo ripercorre alcune delle vicende che hanno caratterizzato la preparazione del progetto di ricerca storica e archeologica sulla chiesa di S. Lucia nel quartiere della Marina a Cagliari, avviato nel 2011 e proseguito sino al 2014. L’area d’interesse è racchiusa entro una moderna cancellata, che ricalca grosso modo il perimetro dell’ultimo impianto della chiesa, di cui si conserva in elevato la porzione nord-orientale. I dati scaturiti dalle indagini consentono di ricostruire le vicende storiche e architettoniche della chiesa. Lo scavo ha finora restituito alcune sepolture pressoché intatte di età postmedievale, con corredo funerario povero e disarticolato (oggetti in metallo in uso sia nella cassa lignea, sia come accessori del vestiario del defunto o in accompagnamento); brevi tratti delle pavimentazioni e dei rivestimenti messi in opera nel XVII e XVIII secolo (azulejos e mattonelle maiolicate e in cotto, lastre di ardesia). La scelta di un cantiere aperto, trasparente e in continuo dialogo con tutti, mediante la diffusione di notizie ed eventi, è legata al sito web. Infine, si propongono alcune considerazioni sul ruolo della chiesa rispetto alla città e qualche ipotesi in merito all’identificazione con l’antica chiesa omonima citata dai documenti dall'inizio del XII secolo.

Abstract
The purpose of these lines is look back at some of the events that have marked the beginning of project preparation and of the archaeological research, in October2011, lasting in 2014. The area is presently fenced with modern railings which roughly follows the outline of the church’s last construction phase, the NE elevation being the best preserved one.This excavation campaign provided us with relevant information for the drawing of the reconstruction of phases of the church at different depths. Santa Lucia dig has returned some graves almost intact, but with very poor and dissociated grave goods (metallic objects from the wooden coffins and from the corpse clothes or goods), found in Postmedieval burials; fragmentary evidence of floors and plaster dating between 17th-18th centuries AD (glazed tiles from the Iberian Peninsula (azulejos) and the majolica ones, floors of slate and brickwork. During the work in progress dissemination of news and events now makes it possible to have agre at deal of attention by citizens, students and scholars. The choice of a site open, transparent and in open dialogue with all, has multiplied the power and charm of the site. At the end, we propose some notes about the role of the church in the town and about the possibility that under the actual ruins is the oldest building, known from the 11th century.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
