Vindice Lecis, journalist and writer, will be at Casa Saddi on November 25th at 6:00 pm to discuss “La rivolta” (Condaghes, 2025), hosted by Duilio Caocci.
After the bloody Battle of Lutocisterna in February 1324, the Catalan-Aragonese conquest of Sardinia seemed unstoppable. In June of the same year, the Pisans renounced all their possessions on the island except Castel di Castro. Sheltered by its walls, they needed to respond to the exhausting attacks of the Catalan-Aragonese settled on the hill south-east of Castello, where they began to build the fortified citadel called Bonaria. The fate of Sardinia will be decided more by cynical calculations than by the naval clash between Pisa and Aragon that will take place in the Gulf of Cagliari between 1325 and 1326.
