Abstract

In the Sardinian Giudicati, between the 11th and 14th centuries, the Giudici commissioned architectural works and urban projects, carried out an intense activity at the center of a remarkable crossroads of political and commercial interests. This study re-evaluates their role as protagonists and proposes to identify the outlines of their peculiar way of operating within the most widespread design trends of the late Middle Ages. Their international contac ts, particularly towards institutions and governments interested in current policies in the western Mediterranean, allowed them to choose and exchange experiences and models, often on an equal basis.
