L’economia della Sardegna nel tardo Medioevo: spunti di riflessione a margine di nuove ricerche
The Sardinia economy in the Late Middle Ages: remarks and food for thoughts about new researches
Abstract
The paper aims to discuss the results of the most recent economic surveys related to the evolution of Sardinia, between the 13th and 15th centuries, with a special focus on the Mediterranean commercial networks, the presence of foreign merchant elite, the impact of war and plague in the crisis of the Trecento. The comparative perspective allows to put the Sardinian case in correlation with contemporary phenomena occurred in the Italian Mezzogiorno and in other regions of the western Mediterranean, enhancing both the similarities and the characteristics of the island events.
Il saggio si propone di discutere i risultati delle più recenti indagini relative all’evoluzione economica della Sardegna tra XIII e XV secolo, con un occhio di riguardo per le reti commerciali mediterranee, la presenza di variegate elite mercantili straniere, l’impatto della guerra e della peste nella congiuntura trecentesca. L’ottica comparativa adottata permette di mettere il caso sardo in correlazione con coevi fenomeni prodottisi nel Mezzogiorno italiano e in altre regioni del Mediterraneo occidentale, valorizzando sia le similitudini sia le peculiarità delle vicende isolane.
