Cagliari Imperiale

With streets and squares in the city center dedicated to the Savoy, to personalities of Sardinian politics and culture, or even to personalities of Italian culture, at first sight, the city of Cagliari does not seem to possess signs of participation in the nineteenth-twentieth century Italian imperialist project in its public space. Deeper attention to the urban history of the city, and a broader look at its hinterland, for a long time an integral part of the metropolitan territory, prove otherwise, demonstrating how the city was a participant in the imperialist fervor, and how the public space still bears its marks.
