Abstract

Nora’s military architectures represent an important witness of the military infrastructures built in Sardinia around the 1930s, aimed at maritime and air control of the Mediterranean. The study focuses on the former Radiogonometric Station of Sant’Efisio, where the Universities of Padova and Cagliari are currently conducting archaeological excavation campaigns. The history of the military base, from the first post-war period to the present day, has been reconstructed through the analysis of still unpublished archival sources. The historical documents made it possible to recognize the material and witness values - related to the typologies and construction techniques adopted - but also the intangible values, linked to the memory of the functions that took place there, in response to the changing European political events. The work stands, therefore, as a necessary premise for the definition of possible conservation and reuse programmes, respectful of the multiple identities of the site and open to a broad and shared cultural project, in support of local development.
