Abstract

The church dedicated to the Madonna d’Itria in Maracalagonis is of great interest for its nature of palimpsest, due to its historical and architectural events and to its dedication, of which there is no trace in medieval written sources. This paper is about the church in its entirety, starting from its dedication to the Madonna d’Itria, of which the origins and the evolution are examined, to move to the analyses of more technical and formal aspects. This contribution, which suggests a series of comparisons with other monuments belonging to the Sardinian Romanesque, try to formulize a series of hypothesis regarding the reconsideration of the traditional chronology ascribed to the church of Nostra Signora d’Itria in Maracalagonis.
