Passing through the Sardinian landscape in search of signs of identity and otherness

This essay intends to propose an interpretation of Sardinia's landscape as an account of identity, in which the signs of its inhabitants' identity are written - but also the signs of the identity of the "Other" with whom the Sardinians found themselves living and working over the course of their history. In Sardinia, many items express the action of the "Other": signs impressed upon the territory by outsiders but that, over the passage of time and as the inhabitants' sensitivity changed, took on a different symbolic value, becoming a symbol of identity for the settled communities.
