The pluri millennial history of Sardinia already takes startup in the inferior Paleolitico (100.000 to.C.) which go up again the first certain testimonies of the presence of the island from the man, that takes office a great deal firmly you later, in the Neolitico Antico (6.000 to.C.). The first civilization with physiognomy and well defined and autochtonous characters is that nuragica, initiated in the Ancient Bronze (1.500 to.C.) and progressively declined at the end of the age of the Ferro(500 to.C). It takes the name from his/her

more symbolic architecture: the nuraghe, construction in tower of big pads of square stone and worked, that assumes a more articulated and complex outline in the period of greater shine of this civilization (full age of the Iron). Other constructions typical of the age nuragicas are the Graves of the Giants, very frequent inside the island, you usually dig in the granite and of enormous dimensions. Also in this case it deals with symbolic constructions.The rich mining resources of the island call the commercial interest of populations of the oriental Mediterranean as Micenei and Cypriot, but they are the Phoenician ones that beginning from the VIII sec. to.C. they constitute the first firm colonies, occupying coastal sites of effortless landing, favorable to the exchanges and the commerces. The following Carthaginian occupation (500-238 to.C.) it privileges over the mining outturn that of the wheat and of the lumber (the island was almost totally mantled of forests. Such exploitation also continues with Rome (238 to.C. - 476 ds.C.) whether to also assert his/her dominion in the inside areas - more fairs of those coastlines - it imposes him with a strong and well arranged administration, whose efficiency is mostly insured from one branched road net, of which original parties survive, still taken back in good party by the modern road layout.

The decadence of the Roman empire overwhelms the island causing the progressive dereliction of the agricultural grounds and the coasts and the consequent demografic contraction.Remised Sardinia to herself and without advocations you/he/she is occupied and

raided for about 80 years (476 - 530 ds.C.) from the Vandals of Africa that, defeated by the emperor of east, they leave the island to the dominion of Bisanzio. When in the IX sec. d.C. the Arabs complete the conquest of the Mediterranean, North-Africa, Spain, party of France and Sicily, the Sardinian coasts are submitted to their attacks and robberies. The indifference and the consequent void to be able of the distant Bisanzio it induces the island to handle alone his/her fates: he administratively arranges insofar and militarily in the 4 Judged of Arborea, Cagliari, Gallura and Torres, sovereign and stand-alone kingdoms among them.With alternate stories, the Judged ones survive up to the XIII century, when they become territories checked from the republics of the Italian continent in Pisa and Genoa. Arboreal it withstands stand-alone up to 1478, when the Crown in Aragon definitely conquers the whole island, already granted her in feud from 1297 from pope Bonifacio VIII together with Corsica. The servant "Regnum Sardiniae" he/she will remain overseas among the dominoes of of the crown of Spain (been born at the end of the XV sec. from the union of the kingdoms in Aragon and Castile) up to the beginning of 1700. After a brief Austrian bracket (1708-1718), the Regnum Sardiniae is surrendered with the "treated of London" to the Savoias, principles of Piemonte. It comes so constituted the Kingdom of Sardinia, inside which the island maintains the autonomy statuale up to 1847, per annum in which he melts with the Piemontet and it gives lifetime to an only central government, abdicating so to its historian connotation. With the end of the wars of independence and reaches her/it Drive, the kingdom of Sardinia it becomes kingdom of Italy.(1861) A complex and articulated region that has stored cultural, material, historical and artistic testimonies of his/her history, an original baggage deeply characterized that more and more he is rediscovering and valorizing in all of his/her wealth.
