**CARTA de LOGU de ARBOREA**

From the series of Sardinian medieval codices, today we talk about the most famous one, written by Mariano IV and his daughter Eleonora, issued by her around 1392.

📸 First page of the manuscript
«Laws allow refraining the haughtiness of evil men and letting good ones live in peace, and assure them the certainty of the punishment.»

So begins the introduction written by Eleonora of Arborea, when she explains why she took her father's old codex in her hands and updated -
-it. In fact, this medieval queen had so modern views that she recognised things changed during the 16 years from her father's death and the codex needed to be updated. She also mentioned the state of the people had changed, probably meaning how servitude was abolished.

**The MASSACRE of IGLESIAS – May 11th, 1920**

⛏️Thread about what is considered one of the darkest events of the history of Sardinia of the last century: police forces shoot at mining workers on strike.🍞
We are right after the end of WWI and before the rise of fascism. The socialist movements were gathering good results in the elections, especially in the Sulcis-Iglesiente, where miners were subjected to extreme working conditions.

There had been strikes and bloodshed, too, -
-in the previous decades, in 1904 and 1906 in particular. Starting from the end of 1919, the miners of the mines of Iglesias (Monteponi and San Giovanni) and Gonnesa began asking for better conditions, higher wages. The owner of the mine, Binetti, had already talked with the -

**The rites of SANT'EFISIO**

🥀Thread about the rites in honour of Sant'Efisio, the longest religious Procession of the Mediterranean area, of the beginning of May in Cagliari.🥀

📸 Davide Loi Photo - traditional dresses of Cagliari
On May 1st-4th, Cagliari hosts one of the most important celebrations of the city, the Procession in honour of Sant'Efisio, to fulfil a vow taken by the town in 1657, when the citizens asked the Saint to free them of the plague.

Sant'Efisio was a militiaman from Asia Minor -
-who served under Diocletian, but subsequently converted to Christianity and moved to Sardinia, where he was martyred near Nora (today's Pula).

During the first 4 days of May, Cagliari hosts a Procession which moves along the coast to reach the site of the martyrdom.

**PROCURADE 'E MODERARE**

💯Thread about the Sardinian national anthem, for the recurrence of the Day of Sardinia (and 100th thread!)💯
The 28th of April is national holiday in Sardinia, which goes by the name of Sa Die de Sa Sardigna. It commemorates the rebellion of the Sardinian people against the Piedmontese ruling caste (full explanation in thread⬇️), ending with the kicking out of-

-everyone who couldn't say "cixiri", back to Turin. I want to emphasise it was a revolt of the people against the Viceroyalty and not against the king/monarchy itself. In 1793, Sardinia still had a feudal system, with local Sardinian lords exploiting the poor people with taxes-

**The destruction of SANT'IGIA**

Thread about the destruction of the last capital of the Judicate of Calari.
Calari has been the first Sardinian Judicate to form. Like all of them, it had an itinerant capital. The first capital was Pluminos (believed to be today's Flumini), which gave also the name of Judicate of Pluminos. The judikes also acted from Uta, Siliqua and sometimes-
-is thought, from Sulci too.

Sant'Igia was the last citadel to be elected capital. It suffered its first attack at the end of XII century, when Guglielmo of Massa took control of the Judicate. He restored the damages he had done and lived there. His daughter and heir Benedetta-

**Sa CHIDA SANTA in videos🎥**

Thread about the Holy Week rites in Sardinia, but in videos.

📸 Clockwise from top left: Iglesias, Cuglieri, Iglesias, Sassari, Cuglieri, Castelsardo, Iglesias in the middle
Last year, I made a thread about the most important Holy Week rites in Sardinia. This year, I'll post some videos to enjoy the funereal sounds and chants, and show some Spanish extravagance of the most emotional week in Sardinia.

▪️Desulo. The Sunday before Easter, Palm Sunday (Sas Prammas), palms are brought around town and blessed.
