Abstract

This thesis will explore the different settlements that succeed or cohexisted during the Middle Age in the current city boundary of Cagliari. The research is based especially on the analysis of historical and artistic testimonies dating from the Late Antiquity to the 15th century, with particular attention to the centuries after the Year 1000. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach in research methodology that keeps the settlement arisen in the 13th century as a constant point of reference, the thesis focuses on the remaining buildings by the available sources of the settlement founded in the 13th century by Pisans and built on the slopes of the “Castle” compared to the previous, contemporary and following ones. This historical and artistic heritage has been used as a "fossil zero-point" to conduct a topographical analysis of the different "cities of Cagliari". The main thread, the constant reference point of the research, has been identified in the first view that embraces the whole city of Cagliari in the forms assumed at the end of the Middle Age in a print of mid 16th century inserted in the treatise "Sardiniae brevis historia et descriptio" by Sigismondo Arquer. The work was published in Basel in 1550, in the first latin edition of "Cosmographia Universalis" by Sebastian Münster. In the present work, the "zero level" function was assigned to the xylography for the execution of an unusual and virtual "stratigraphic reading" of the city. The preceding phases of constructive works and of the road layout in the view were examined with the aim of reconstructing their medieval forms. In order to get as close as possible to this goal, we have used extrapolable tracks from the sources and the history of the studies, and the formal reading of the emergencies survived even only at the documentary level. From the "zero level", which corresponds to the layer of 1550, not only has it been excavated deeply in search of the oldest levels, but it has progressed to our days to examine also the interventions that have modified the buildings, the infrastructures and the streets of the city known by the Arquer. This dissertation, therefore, wants to be a useful tool for the exploitation of the Sardinian capital in its different urban stratifications.
