Élite locali nella Sardegna dei secoli XII-XV: primi dati sui Dessì

Abstract

L’articolo propone un primo quadro sull’origine del casato Dessì nella Sardegna medievale e riflette sul ruolo giocato dai suoi esponenti. Le fonti, ancora in fase di studio, consentono di certificare la diffusione dei Dessì almeno a partire dal XII secolo nei territori della Sardegna centrale e meridionale. Nel periodo giudicale i Dessì risultano parte dell’élite locale, un ruolo che tentarono di conservare anche in seguito alla caduta dei due giudicati di Cagliari e Arborea; infatti, sotto l’amministrazione pisana e iberica alcuni rami del casato sembrano essere riusciti a inserirsi nei nuovi contesti politici. Nel Quattrocento, infine, emergono i Dessì nella città di Cagliari, dediti al commercio e autori di un tentativo di ascesa sociale da suggellare con il raggiungimento della carica di vescovo.

This essay analyses the origin of the Dessì family in the Medieval Sardinia and reflects on the role played by its exponents. The sources allow us to certify the presence of the Dessì in the territories of central and southern Sardinia since 12th Century. During the period of Giudicati, the Dessì were part of the local élite: they tried to maintain this role even after the end of the two kingdoms of Cagliari and Arborea, first during the Pisan administration then during the Aragonese one. Finally, in the 15th Century and in the city of Cagliari, the documents register another branch of the Dessì family; they were merchants inserted in the Catalan commonwealth and were authors of an interesting attempt at social ascent.
