Sardinia has no high mountains due to the (Fabrizio De André) erosion caused by wind and rain. It is mainly hilly and characterized by plateaus as well as groups of smaller hills. The highest massif is the Supramonte del Gennargentu, whose peak is Punta La Marmora (1 In fact, Sardinia stands for traditions that are 834 m). The longest river in Sardinia is the Tirso, strongly rooted in its people.

The main attractions of the island are undoubtedly its beautiful beaches and the crystal clear sea, known to be one of the cleanest in the Mediterranean. However, the numerous historical sites, such as the archaeological sites of the early prehistoric times and the nuragic villages, should not be ignored, as they represent the importance of the geographical and strategic position of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. Many consider Sardinia to be the ‘least Italian’ region of all. In fact, its geographic isolation has led to the development of certain animal and plant species (such as the Sardinian mouflon or the white donkey from Asinara), along with the 2 3 The closure of rivers in some places in the remained virtually isolated for 10 000-8 000 years. past has led to the formation of artificial lakes, Among the first historical witnesses of the region including Lago Omodeo and Lago Coghinas. are the 7 000 ‘nuraghi’, scattered throughout the entire island.

About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

  • Tonnare in Italy: Science, History, and Culture of Sardinian Tuna Fishing 1
    Tonnare in Italy: Science, History, and Culture of Sardinian Tuna Fishing 1 Katherine Emery The Mediterranean Sea and, in particular, the cristallina waters of Sardinia are confronting a paradox of marine preservation. On the one hand, Italian coastal resources are prized nationally and internationally for their natural beauty as well as economic and recreational uses. On the other hand, deep-seated Italian cultural values and traditions, such as the desire for high-quality fresh fish in local cuisines and the continuity of ancient fishing communities, as well as the demands of tourist and real-estate industries, are contributing to the destruction of marine ecosystems. The synthesis presented here offers a unique perspective combining historical, scientific, and cultural factors important to one Sardinian tonnara in the context of the larger global debate about Atlantic bluefin tuna conservation. This article is divided into four main sections, commencing with contextual background about the Mediterranean Sea and the culture, history, and economics of fish and fishing. Second, it explores as a case study Sardinian fishing culture and its tonnare , including their history, organization, customs, regulations, and traditional fishing method. Third, relevant science pertaining to these fisheries’ issues is reviewed. Lastly, the article considers the future of Italian tonnare and marine conservation options. Fish and fishing in the Mediterranean and Italy The word ‘Mediterranean’ stems from the Latin words medius [middle] and terra [land, earth]: middle of the earth. 2 Ancient Romans referred to it as “ Mare nostrum ” or “our sea”: “the territory of or under the control of the European Mediterranean countries, especially Italy.” 3 Today, the Mediterranean Sea is still an important mutually used resource integral to littoral and inland states’ cultures and trade.

  • Tharros – Capo San Marco in the Phoenician and Punic Age
    Archeologia e Calcolatori 28.2, 2017, 321-331 THARROS – CAPO SAN MARCO IN THE PHOENICIAN AND PUNIC AGE. GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND VIRTUAL REBUILDING The Phoenician and Punic colony of Tharros in the Gulf of Oristano, in the mid-west of Sardinia, is distinguished by an archaic phase dating back to the beginning of the 7th century BC; it is documented by the tofet findings, on the hill of Murru Mannu, and by the incineration and inhumation tombs located in the cemeterial areas in Capo San Marco, to the S, and in the vil- lage of San Giovanni di Sinis to the N. The period of maximum development and monumentalization was during the 6th century BC, when Tharros was probably the Qarthadasht of Sardinia, the administrative capital of Carthage (Fariselli in press). A few sacred public buildings in the city center and multiple hypogeal funerary structures date back to the Punic phase, which is, therefore, only partially known for the site. The archaeological evidence in the urban area intra muros mainly refers to the Roman and early medieval periods. The city was definitively abandoned around the year 1000 AD due to likely geomorphological problems still to be fully defined, maybe land or mudslides towards the gulf. The Saracens’ incursions could also be one of the reasons of the progressive depopulation in favor of the more protected hinterland (Del Vais 2015, 44). The systematic spoliation of the city’s buildings, used as a quarry for a long time, make the reconstruction of the population and frequentation’s phases very complex. The Chair for Phoenician-Punic Archaeology at the University of Bolo- gna, under my own direction, has resumed investigations on the field since 2012.

A tale scopo, in una prima fase è stata analizzata la filiera agrumicola per individuare i criteri da applicare nel secondo step, durante il quale è stata effettuata la ricerca online delle organizzazioni di produzione, trasformazione e valorizzazione degli agrumi. Suddetta ricerca online è stata integrata anche con approfondimenti diretti con alcuni produttori per comprendere meglio le attività svolte in relazione agli agrumi. Infine, è stato compilato un database di produttori, trasformatori e luoghi di valorizzazione che sarà la base per la realizzazione di un tool di georeferenziazione di supporto alla creazione della rete e dei percorsi di riscoperta degli agrumi dello spazio di cooperazione transfrontaliera. Dalle analisi effettuate durante il primo step della mappatura è emerso che la filiera agrumicola transfrontaliera è sintetizzabile come riportato in Figura 1.

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto
