SG Vol 7 Supplemento-1 1987.Pdf THE LICHENS and lichenicolous fungi OF SARDINIA (Italy) an annotated list by P. L. NIMIS & J. POELT With contributions of O. BREUSS (Wien) W. BRUNNBAUER (Wien) P. CLERC (Bern) J. HAFELLNER (Graz) H. HERTEL (Munchen) P.W. JAMES (London) M. MAYRHOFER (Graz) H. MAYRHOFER (Graz) C. LEUCKERT (Berlin) C. SCHEIDEGGER (Bern) A. VEZDA (Brno) Published by the University of Trieste in occasion of the XIV lnternational Botanical Congress Berlin (West) 1987 Excursion Nr. 49 to Sardinia Dedicated to the memory of: F. BAGLIETTO G. DE NOTARIS A. MASSALONGO lntroduction In early 1985 the authors planned to organise a lichenological excursion to Sardinia as a part of the excursion programre for the XIV International Botanical Congress (Berlin, July 1987). The island of Sardinia was chosen because of its great phytogeographical interest: It lies in the centre of the western Mediterranean Basin and has a great variety of geological . substrates. As rrost parts of the Mediterranean region, Sardinia is relatively poorly known fran a lichenological point of view. In order to organise the excursion, field-trips to Sardinia were carried out in Sumner 1985 and in Spring 1986. On these occasions extensive collections were made fran several parts of the island; the identifications resulting fran this material provided a preliminary list of taxa. Further additions caire fran colleagues who had already visited the island, fran exsiccata in herbaria, fran scarce literature records and, above all, fran the herbariun Baglietto (MJD), where rrost of the sarrples cited by BA.GLIETID (1879) in his first and seminal catalogue of lichens of Sardinia are preserved. The present work includes a critical revision of the lichens known fran Sardinia. The Mediterranean region is arrong the lichenologically least studied parts of Europe and, as a consequence, the circunscription of many taxa is not yet clear, and the distribution and ecology of many species are badly known. It was obviously irrpossible for us to solve all these problems; in the short notes appended to each taxon we often either draw attention to the existence of problems, or give sane general information on the distribution and ecology of the taxa, with particular regard to Italy, the lichen flora of which is one of the rrost poorly known in Europe. Many collections at our hane institutions still remain unidentified because of taxonanic difficulties, which cannot be solved in a reasonably short time. The nurber of taxa at specific and varietal level listed in this book is 901. It is certain that the lichen flora of Sardinia is much richer, and that much rrore profitable work can be carried out in the lichenological exploration of the island. In spite of- its incarpleteness,we decided to publish this annotated list in order to provide a m:xlern review of lichenological research in Sardinia, which might act as a reference point for future studies. We hope that in time this book will becane outdated, revealing its shortcanings, not least as a consequence of the International Excursion itself; this would be an indication that it actually fulfilled the role for which it has been published. 1 The natural environment of Sardinia Geography The island of Sardinia lies in the centre of the western Mediterranean ° ° sea, between 38 51' 52" and 41 15' 42" lat. north (Capo Teulada-P.ta ° ° Falcone) and between 8 8' and 9 5' long. east (Capo dell'Argentiera-Capo Canino). lts shape is approxirnately rectangular, with the longest sides disposed in a north-south direction. The distance between the northern and southern extremities is of ca. 270 Km, the average distance between the eastern and western coasts of ca. 145 Km., with a minimun of 96 Km in the narrowest portion between Oristano and Barisardo. Sardinia, with a surface area of 24.089 Kmq is the second largest island of the Mediterranean sea. Although the maxinun elevation is only of 1834 m (P.ta Lam3rroora, Gennargentu), the landscape of the island is characterized by very rugged gearorphological features, with a prevalence of mountains. The only extensive plain is the Carrpidano region, extending fran the gulf of Cagliari to the gulf of Oristano in a southeast-northwest direction for approxirnately 100 Km. This plain separates the mountains of the southwest (M. Linas, 1236 m) fran a mountain area extending over the central and eastern parts of the island, whose highest peaks are M. Lirrbàra in the north ( 1362 m), the Gennargentu Massif in the centre (1834 m) and P. ta Serpeddi' in the south (1062 m). In sane areas, especially the Barbagia region, the different massifs are separated by narrow, deep gorges, which have made access very difficult in the past. Peculiar geanorphological features are the "Giare" of central-eastern Sardinia,, extended plateaus with steeply declining margins consisting of effusive rocks (mainly basalt), and the "Toneri", conical structures derived fran the erosion of a dolanitic limestone cover. The most inportant rivers (Tirso, Flunendosa, Fllll1ini Mannu, Coghinas) originate in the high mountains of the province of Nuoro. Many of the smaller rivers dry out more or less conpletely during surrner. There is only one natural lake, Lago di Baratz in the Nurra region, but a great nurber of artificial lakes are scattered throughout the island. The coastline, including the satellite islands, is 1897 Km long. The aàninistrative subdivision of Sardinia in four Provinces (Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano, Sassari) doe� not always reflect a natural articulation of the island on a geographical or ethnological basis. Of more interest is the traditional subdivision in historical-geographical districts, which often include areas fonnally belonging to different aàninistrative provinces. The main districts are shCMn in Fig. 1. 2 "' V> "P gr � -p :,> !J'/-'-\>- "' 1>,'1-'o o li; "P ;il o G' :,> TREXENTA ,, ,-0 ,,- GERRE! -,, SARRABUS o () Fig. 1 - Main historical districts of Sardinia. Ge ology Geologically, Sardinia little reserrbles continental Italy; the geologicai history of the island has been very different fran that of the Alps and Apennines, and the island, as the island of Corsica, has a much rrore ancient origin. One of the main geoiogicai characters which may be of interest for the lichenoiogist is the great variety of rock-types occurring on the is iand, fran Carrbrian to Quatemary e ras; in generai, siiiceous rocks (of very different types) are rrore ccmnon than limestone or other calcareous rocks; the distribution of the main rock-types on the isiand is shown in Fig. 2. Sardinia is ccrrposed of a Palaeozoic infrastructure and a Mesozoic and Cenozoic cover. The oidest outcrops, consisting of a succession ranging from the looer Carrbrian to the iower Carboniferous, has been affected by an intense regionai metarrorphism. From the normai or bareiy epimetarrorphic sediments in soutrnestern Sardinia there is a transition to phyiiites, to mica-schists, to gneisses and then to magmatic-anatectic granites in northeast Sardinia (CHARRIER, 1958; VARDABASSO, 1966; mNTI & TRAVERSA, 1968, CIYJJUA, 1975). The oldest layers of the Paieozoic sequence do not outcrop, with the exception of a small ·area close to Capo Spartivento (CIYJJUA,1975). The 3 4 Fig. 2 - Main rock types in Sardinia a) limestone b) sandstone, marls e) granite d) metamorphic rocks e) lavas, tuffs t) basalt 5 oldest extensive outcrops are in the lglesiente-Sulcis region; they range fran the lower Carrbrian to the lower Carboniferous. Volcanic activity in this area was not strong, and acid volcanic rocks are not known in the lglesiente-Sulcis region. Another region with very old outcrops is the area situated to the northeast of Carrpidano, i.e. the vast region north of a line joining Capo Frasca on the west with Sarrabus--Gerrei in southeast Sardinia. The sediments are characterized by a succession of prevalently terrigenous rocks with the sedimentological characteristics of Flysch. Volcanic activity started with aerial eruptions of porphyries and continued throughout the Silurian with frequent and thick subacqueous porphyric eruptions (PCMESANO CHERCHI, 1982; CALVOO, 1961). To the Hercynian cycle belong the extensive granitic fonnations, which are roost frequent in the northeastern, central and southeastern parts of the island. At the end of the Hercynian cycle Sardinia, or better the Corsica-Sardinia massif was corrpletely emerged and still attached to the French-Spanish coast (DUOOURDIEU, 1962; DERCX)lJRT, 1970). This position probably linked the Corsica-Sardinia massif with an approximately east--west alignement to the lberian massif (a:xJJZZA., 1975). At the end of the l!ercynian cycle a long period of orogenic quiet began in Sardinia, with only minor roovements of slow subsidence. These conditions persisted through the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, permitting the ingression of epicontinental seas in sare sectors of the island. At the end of the Cuisian the ancient dislocation lines were reactivated with differential uplift of the various blocks into which the Sardinian massif was already divided. These movements produced gravity slides with local overthrusting and pseudo-reverse faulting as in the calcareous Monti di Oliena, M. Albo etc. In the middle-upper Oligocene the tectonic roovements reached their maximum intensity, leading to an intense volcanic activity of prevalently andesitic and rhyolitic type (LAURO & DERIU, 1957). The lavas and pyroclastic products of this activity accunulated mainly in tectonic depressions. In the Miocene the sea returned once more to the island, but occupied only the tectonically depressed areas, including a low area that existed at that time between Sardinia and Corsica, perhaps separating them for the first time. At the end of Miocene there was a phase of adjustement followed in the Pliocene by basaltic volcanism (e.g. Giara di Gesturi). The geological evolution of , Sardinia is thus characterized by a whole series of progressively shorter sedimentary cycles, which were interrupted by marked discordances; the present facies are prevalently of epicontinental or continental envirorment, notwithstanding the scarcity of carbonatic and evaporitic rocks (a:xJJZZA., 1975).

Parte de este contexto es la producción de la Malvasia di Bosa, que ha contribuido desde siempre al desarrollo del sector vitivinícola de la isla, y aún ahora continúa haciéndolo. La profundización en un terroir específico, como este de la Malvasia de Bosa, requiere una amplia panorámica sobre otros campos: misteriosos orígenes del viñedo, diferentes tipologías que de esta última se pueden obtener hasta llegar a las características que residen en uno de los terroir de producción como por ejemplo la región de la Planargia. Así, las informaciones obtenidas a través de los datos estadísticos han permitido elaborar las dinámicas económicas relativas al terroir de la Malvasia de Bosa. Palabras claves: vino, terroir, Malvasia de Bosa, Cerdeña, Italia.

  • The Differential Object Marking of the Arborense Dialect of Sardinian in Language Contact Setting
    journal of language contact 13 (2020) 17-56 brill.com/jlc The Differential Object Marking of The Arborense Dialect of Sardinian in Language Contact Setting Daniela Boeddu Department of Classical Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of the Basque Country, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on the Arborense Differential Object Marking (dom) system, which in line with the typical Sardinian dom system marks the object noun phrases character- ized by a high degree of animacy and specificity with the preposition a. This is why the Sardinian dom is also called prepositional accusative. Authors dealing with other Sar- dinian dialects agree in identifying three domains of distribution of the phenomenon: with personal pronouns and personal names the use of the preposition is mandatory; with inanimate common nouns it is excluded; with common nouns referring animate beings, strong variability occurs. On the basis of an oral corpus of contemporary Arbo- rense, it can be stated that the area of mandatory use of dom is restricted in this dialect and that the optionality area turns out to be more extensive than assumed in tradi- tional descriptions of this Sardinian phenomenon. Since all the Arborense speakers of the oral corpus are bilingual (Sardinian-Italian), the data reflect the situation of dom in a contact setting scenario where Sardinian and both Standard and Regional Italian in- teract. According to Putzu (2005) and Blasco Ferrer and Ingrassia (2010), the extensive area of optionality for the use of the Sardinian dom should be the result of the influence of Standard Italian. However, two facts must be considered that make this idea ques- tionable: first, in the language contact scenario of Modern Sardinian not only Standard Italian but also Regional Italian (with a widespread use of the dom) play a role; second, the synchronic variation observed in contemporary Arborense replicates the same variation which characterizes historical data from texts of the 12th–19th centuries.

  • SARDINIA Cagliari
    CAGLIARI Cagliari, the main town in Sardinia, is also one of the oldest towns in Europe. The first urban settlements in the area of Cagliari date back to over 3.000 years ago. The Phoenicians, who invaded the area around within the time span 1.000 – 900 B.C., established several storage houses, and based their headquarters in the area of the Lagoon of S. Gilla, where nowadays the airport is located. The city was called „Karalis “, and was developed in the now busy area between viale Trieste and via Roma. In the year 239 B.C. - when the Phoenicians were defeated by the Romans - Sardinia became a Roman colony. During the Roman domination the core of the city centre was extended from Piazza del Carmine to via Regina Elena. Several remains of the Roman domination have been found so far, especially in the Marina quarter. After the decay of the Roman Empire in 455 B.C., Sardinia was invaded by the Vandals who ruled the islad for about 80 years. Until the year 800 the island suffered from the incursions and attacks of Saracens. Under Giustiniano I, Sardinia was ruled by the Romans again together with Corsica and the Balearic Islands and was annexed to the diocese Africa which was part of the Byzantine Empire. Because of the distance to Byzantium, the connection between them was rather weak. Therefore Sardinia was able to develop a kind of semi-independence and the island was divided into four parts. These areas were called “ Giudicati ”, each of which was ruled by a “judge”.

    “THIS LAND IS GOOD FOR THIS ANIMAL”: A METHODOLOGY TO SEE THE KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS COMMUNICATED AMONG SARDO-MODICANA BREEDERS IN A TIME OF SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROBABILITIES By Cynthia Vagnetti A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Rhetoric and Writing 2012 ABSTRACT “THIS LAND IS GOOD FOR THIS ANIMAL”: A METHODOLOGY TO SEE THE KNOWLEDGE DYNAMICS COMMUNICATED AMONG SARDO-MODICANA BREEDERS IN A TIME OF SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PROBABILITIES By Cynthia Vagnetti For this dissertation, I designed and conducted qualitative research adhering to an ethno- graphic approach that builds on the notion of culture as narrative. This study will contribute to the growing literature addressing how visual data can be applied in narrative inquiry. One of the challenges for researchers and practitioners in rural development is getting at sensory or embodied knowledge so that it can be made conscious and represented through language. Interdisciplinary investigations that align rural conservation studies with language-based fields are gaining interest among policy makers and funding institutions. This dissertation provides evidence that a documentary video toolkit enlarges an emic perspective of situated practices, grounded in local knowledge, that necessarily serves the interests of scientific re- search. Specifically when focusing through the lens of a camera, attention can be directed to- wards tacit knowledge or specifically, “the practices that exists in people’s hands and in their actions.” For this dissertation, I am seeking the knowledge dynamics communicated among Sardo-Modicana breeders, whose livelihood depends on the well-being of this rare and en- dangered breed of cattle.

  • Silvio Carta Mirto - Historical Recipe
    The Company At the beginning of the '50s Silvio Carta founded the eponymous company - which is now one of the most prestigious and most active in Sardinia - and started vinification and refining of Vernaccia, a wine that has a noble tradition and is an authentic jewel of the Sardinian oenology, subsequently acquiring a leading position in the Sardinian marketplace in just a few short years. After a couple more years, the company had conquered the hearts of the public beyond regional borders thanks to a broad range of excellent quality products in the field of liquors and spirits. Since then, tradition and innovation have gone hand in hand to guarantee quality and goodness. The company’s business philosophy is expressed in the simple slogan 'Armonia della natura' ('harmony in nature'). The territory The company was built in an area that is particularly suitable for the cultivation of renowned vine varieties and the spontaneous development of officinal plants. The clear sea, the sharp mountains covered by intricate vegetation of wild beauty, the winds that blow from different directions for the majority of the year and the bright sun that shines in every season allow the flora and fauna of the island to have organoleptic proper-ties that are unique in the world and impossible to imitate. The culture Sardinia is famous for having evidence of human presence since very ancient times, of which nuraghi are the most significant and well-known image among the broad public. However, the island's charm doesn't only come from the unique beauty and variety of its maritime areas, but also from other peculiar elements that make it a completely unmistakable world, including its culture, habits and traditions, folk costumes that are still, even now, jealously guarded, archaeology and, last but by no means least, its enogastronomy.
