The essay provides an interpretive synthesis on the economic history of late medieval Sardinia, with a particular focus on the merchant networks and trade flows that affected the island between the 12th and 15th centuries. From this point of view, the traditional bipartition between a ‘Pisan-Genoese’ period and a ‘Catalan’ period offers a still useful point of reference, provided that the political and cultural dimensions, usually associated with these labels, are also joined by a geo-economic characterization. As much as the medieval history of Sardinia has not infrequently been interpreted as a unicum on the Euro-Mediterranean scenario, the broader contexts, including those centred on the great Italo-Iberian maritime and mercantile empires, often have much to say about the centuries-old evolutions of the island's economy.
Il saggio fornisce una sintesi interpretativa sulla storia economica della Sardegna tardomedievale, con particolare attenzione alle reti mercantili e ai flussi commerciali che interessarono l'isola tra il XII e il XV secolo. Da questo punto di vista, la tradizionale bipartizione tra un periodo “pisano-genovese” e un periodo “catalano” offre un punto di riferimento ancora utile, a patto che alle dimensioni politiche e culturali, solitamente associate a queste etichette, si aggiunga anche una caratterizzazione geo-economica. Per quanto la storia medievale della Sardegna sia stata non di rado interpretata come un unicum nello scenario euromediterraneo, i contesti più ampi, compresi quelli incentrati sui grandi imperi marittimi e mercantili italo-iberici, hanno spesso molto da dire sulle secolari evoluzioni dell'economia isolana.

Abstract
The essay provides an interpretive synthesis on the economic history of late medieval Sardinia, with a particular focus on the merchant networks and trade flows that affected the island between the 12th and 15th centuries. From this point of view, the traditional bipartition between a ‘Pisan-Genoese’ period and a ‘Catalan’ period offers a still useful point of reference, provided that the political and cultural dimensions, usually associated with these labels, are also joined by a geo-economic characterization. As much as the medieval history of Sardinia has not infrequently been interpreted as a unicum on the Euro-Mediterranean scenario, the broader contexts, including those centred on the great Italo-Iberian maritime and mercantile empires, often have much to say about the centuries-old evolutions of the island's economy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
