L'Ave Maria in Sardu. San Giuseppe Sassari, Sardinien

Esta es la clàsica Ave Maria Sarda sin duda, el fragmento en lengua sarda màs conocido màs allà de las fronteras de la isla. Cada estrofa es seguida alernando el solista y el coro. La armonizaciòn presenta los caracterìsticos cambios de tonalidad proprios del canto de tradiciòn.

The origins of the town of Sassari, as Enrico Costa wrote, date back to the distant past...
though no earlier than the 11th Century of the Christian era. There is not much evidence to bear witness to the early Middle Ages in the territory Sassari occupies today. From the 11th Century onwards, and in particular the 12th, documentary evidence is more plentiful. The territory (which belonged to the Torres juridical district and the Nurra, Romangia and Fluminargia parishes) was portrayed as consisting of villages that were numerous, but often sparsely inhabited. It seems that following an apparent halt during the early Middle Ages, the ensuing repopulation was motivated by the creation initiated by Pisan and Ligurian traders of the new trade routes, as well as by a revival in agriculture; the latter was further stimulated by the spreading of Benedictine monasteries. From the 13th Century onwards changes occurred in rural settlement due to the magnetic force of the town of Sassari; change was more radical after the Spanish Conquest (14th/15th Centuries) when most of the villages disappeared.
The existence of prehistoric communities in the current town area is documented indirectly by objects found. Archeological evidence of a settlement existing in Roman times on the site of modern Sassari is scarce and fragmentary. It does, however, seem certain that the site was already inhabited in the 1st Century A.C. and it may be posited that during imperial times not just a single centre existed but a series of rustic villages concentrated in an area of approximately 24 sq.km. It remains to be seen "when" and "why" one particular village of the many present in north-west Sardinia began to develop during the early Middle Ages and achieve the maturity needed to exert hegemony in the area from around the year 1000.
The name Thathari appears for the first time in 1113 in a page of the Condaghe di S. Pietro di Silki; other 13th Century documents give a picture of an established series of villages, near each other and some of which located on the outskirts of the current residential site.
The first documents giving information on Sassari date back to the early part of the 12th Century and show a relatively important village, though actual material remains belonging to this period have not been found at the modern site of the town.
Almost all researchers agree, however, that the original nucleus of the medieval town was in the Sant'Apollinare district near S. Nicola Church, which must have had an important role in its growth. But the town really developed, both from a political and urban point of view, in the 13th Century, when Thatari (which thanks to the presence of Pisans and Genoese had entered the great Mediterranean trade routes) began to attract the people of Logudoro and (from the times of the violent conflicts among the juridical districts between 1234 and 1238) began to be governed by a town council, its regulations established in the Sassari Statutes at the end of the century.
Sassari still maintained the distinctly medieval character of a typical walled town up until about 1840, when the first parts of the wall were demolished, thus eliminating the image of a military past that had been lost as far back as the early years of Spanish rule.
The next 20 years saw a process of expansion in the town and the ancient walls were pulled down. During recent restoration of some remaining parts of the wall along Corso Trinità, pieces of the original battlements came to light that had been covered over by subsequent filling-in. Studies on technical construction have shown that the canons for building construction were in line with regulations set down in the Sassari Statutes. They also show the significant similarity between the fortified walls of Sassari and Iglesias (13th Century).
The old centre of Sassari, which has aged greatly in recent years, is still the heart of the town in spite of the chaos, the lack of parking space and being mistreated by building speculators; most of the cultural events depart from here, as do the processions accompanying festive occasions throughout the year. Carnival, the Gobbule*, 'Holy Week', the 'Calvacade', Corpus Domini, the Candlesticks and corporation festivities all have the old town as their vital centre, and though old and decaying, it still bears witness to an ancient splendour, with archivolts still supporting antique bell towers and superb covered roof terraces showing the invincible soul of a town still holding onto its most prized possessions.
