Il volume esplora il suggestivo universo cartografico della Sardegna e della Sicilia, due isole che confermano il proprio ruolo di centralità mediterranea all’interno delle più ampie vicende storiche del Settecento. Attraverso un ricco e straordinario repertorio iconografico che presenta disegni, per lo più inediti, custoditi all’interno di fondi e archivi europei (soprattutto spagnoli e viennesi), lo studio si propone di ricostruire le relazioni tra la produzione cartografica del viceregno sardo e siciliano e i rapporti che legano l’Italia meridionale alle corti europee durante il XVIII secolo. Lo sguardo, quindi, sulla storia cartografica di queste due isole del Mediterraneo, che svolgono un ruolo di ponte con Vienna e Madrid, getta nuova luce sui rapporti culturali tra centro e periferia e sulla varietà e ricchezza di informazioni i cui effetti sono evidenti attraverso l’abbondante documentazione ideata e rinvenuta. [Abstract translated by DeepL Translator: This is the abstract in English… This volume explores the evocative cartographic universe of Sardinia and Sicily, two islands that confirm their role as Mediterranean centralities within the broader historical events of the eighteenth century. Through a rich and extraordinary iconographic repertoire presenting drawings, mostly unpublished, kept within European funds and archives (especially Spanish and Viennese), the study aims to reconstruct the relationships between the cartographic production of the Sardinian and Sicilian viceroyalty and the relations linking southern Italy to European courts during the 18th century. Looking, therefore, at the cartographic history of these two Mediterranean islands, which play a bridging role with Vienna and Madrid, sheds new light on the cultural relations between center and periphery and on the variety and richness of information whose effects are evident through the abundant documentation devised and unearthed.]
