Descrizione

The Auditorium and the adjoining Music Conservatory G.P. da Palestrina is situated in the area among the streets Bacaredda, Sant’Alenixedda and Efisio Cao di San Marco, in a square named after Ennio Porrino. Born in Cagliari, Porrino directed the Music Conservatory of Cagliari from 1957 to 1959. Internationally renowned musician, he is still remembered for his compositions recalling the most known popular themes of Sardinian music.

Both the Auditorium and the Conservatory were designed by the Engineer Paolo Porceddu (Cagliari 1921-1999). The project, approved in 1964, included the “school branch” and the “Auditorium branch” as two different parts of the same building, whose construction started in 1967.

The school branch was accomplished in 1973, but it was already being used starting from the beginning of 1971, when the Conservatory moved from piazza Palazzo soon after the annexed public school.

At the time of its construction the new building, of an imposing and solemn style softened by some architectonic patterns inspired to music (organ pipes for the Conservatory and a keyboard for the Auditorium), was considered the most modern Conservatory in Italy and among the most remarkable ones in Europe, especially for the perfect acoustic isolation of its classrooms.

The construction of the new Conservatory promoted and enhanced musical studies, as it was and will always be necessary in a town of artistic vocation like Cagliari. Nowadays the Conservatory has become Institute of Higher Education in Art and its activity has grown over the decades as well as the number of students, that has reached 1000 inscriptions.

Civic Auditorium (former Church of Santa Teresa)

Categoria/Sottocategoria
macrocategoria
Descrizione

Seriously damaged by bombs in 1943, the former Church of Santa Teresa (late 17th century), in the aftermath of the war was renovated and turned into a concert hall. After more renovations, completed in 1984, the venue was renamed Civic Auditorium. From 2009 to 2013, it housed the local School of Dramatic Art, directed by Lelio Lecis. Each theatre season features productions by the best Sardinian companies.

The layout of the church, very similar to the church of Santa Croce, had a single nave, on which three chapels opened on each side; the transept was contained within the perimeter while the presbytery was of the same size to that of the nave.

Today only the facade is visible of the ancient church. The interior, indeed, completely renovated between the 70s and 80s, today is home to a small theatre. The façade is cut horizontally by a classical taste entablature with a metope and triglyph frieze, which divides it into two orders. The lower order is punctuated vertically by four pilasters that frame two windows and two doors placed on the sides of the large main portal, consisting of a rectangular opening flanked by two pilasters that support the architrave with classical friezes. In line with the portal in the upper order ended in "carabiniere's lamp" there is a rectangular window. The upper crown with double spirals frames the emblem of the Company. The octagonal dome, located above the intersection of the transept with the hall, and set on a high drum on which eight rectangular windows open, is completed by a lantern.

The construction of the church, annexed to the Jesuit college (founded in 1611), can date back to a period of time from 1623 (according to a notarial act, the Archbishop of Cagliari De Esquivel ordered on this date that the bequests of the nobleman Leandro di Torres were used for the construction in Cagliari of a church in "honour and glory of Our Lord and his Blessed Mother Our Lady and under the invocation of the glorious Saint Teresa") to 1691 (inscription on the plaque embedded in the main prospect) .

The Jesuits remained there until the suppression of the Company in 1773. The complex, passed to the secular clergy and returned to the Order in 1822, in 1848, with their definitive expulsion passed to the State Property, which in 1882 proceeded to sell the goods contained in them. In 1884 the church, now deconsecrated, became the seat of the State Archive, transferred to its present location between 1927 and 1929.

In 1926 the church became the seat of the “Rionale de Fenu Group”, Italian Youth of the Littorio. In 1944 the Jesuit fathers asked the Fund for Worship to return the ancient temple, seriously compromised by the bombing, pledging to have it restored at its own expense. However, the attempt was unsuccessful. In 1947 the Superior Ministry "Intendenza di Finanza", with a private tender, rented the property. The Superintendency of Cagliari oversaw the whole affair so that the protection laid down by Law 1089 was guaranteed.

In 1949, given the disaster of the city Theatre, the church was adapted into a concert hall, while between 1950 and 1953 it was transformed by the Civil Engineers into the Auditorium of the Conservatory of Music. Between 1982 and 1984, with the elimination of the side chapels, the definitive transformation took place.

Descrizione

Collection of Sardinian art and handicrafts, featuring paintings, maps, traditional clothing, carpets, rosaries, jewellery and silverware.

The Collection is housed on the ground floor of the building that previously housed the Tridentine Seminary. The palace was built by the military Count Saverio Belgrano Famolasco during the 17th century. The collection consists of about 900 pieces, and was donated to the University in 1980 by Dr. Luigi Piloni Bogliolo dell'Arme. After the works were completed by the architect De Plano, it was inaugurated in November 1984.

Piloni, our illustrious countryman, created the collection not only thanks to its economic resources, but also through his good taste, deep culture and a little 'luck', which have been essentials during his life in order to find on the market unique artworks, and unique and valuable collections.

Except for the entrance hall, the exhibition encompasses six rooms in which are exhibited some prints of art, history and culture of Sardinian famous people. Then, on a display case there are some publications donated by Piloni.

In the first room, dedicated to the religious iconography, there are two major findings of the collection, two parts of the altarpiece dating back to the 1500's. One, is a table of Michele Cavaro, illustrating Santa Chiara, from the altarpiece of the Madonna of Bonaria, and the other is of Antiochus Mainas depicting the Deposition of Christ, from the altarpiece of the Council House of Oristano.

In the second room there are 32 original paintings of Philippine della Marmora, nephew of the General Alberto Ferrero della Marmora. These pieces, that provide an overview of Sardinian locations, hold a high documentary value if not artistic, dating back to the period 1852-1860.

In the third room there are 1900s works of most famous Sardinian painters and artists, featured in oil paintings, watercolors, paints ( A. Ballero, G. Biasi, C. Cabras, S. Dessy, M. Sironi, F. Figari, F. Melis Marini, M. Delitala, C. Floris, G. Ciusa Romagna, T. Scano, A. Sassu ), as well as some other foreign artists, among which R. Locatelli and G. Sciuti.

In the fourth room there are jewels of traditional Sardinian silverware, considered "clothing" and including: rosaries of 18th-19th century, necklaces, pendants, reliquaries, spuligadentes, ganceras, buttons and charms.

In the fifth room there are more than two hundred island views, including lithographs, watercolors, paints and inks, some of which are uncommon and authentic.

In the sixth room, the largest, which is located on the left side of the entrance and used as auditorium during the Tridentine Seminary, we can admire: forty elaborate textiles named bertulas and originating from Campidano, strips called "coberi bancu " and "coberi cascia", a bedspread and three carpets, one from Oristano with a particularity "sa mustra". There are also artifacts dating back to 1700s, 1800s and ( as two rare " tapinu de mortu " ) 1900s.

The hall houses a series of traditional costumes prints, 25 lithographs of Pittaluga, 10 chromolithographs of Enrico Costa, 43 color prints of Dalsani (G. Ansaldi ), 13 lithographs of Martinelli, 49 lithographs of Baldassarre.
There is also a fine collection of over one hundred maps and pilot books, including some handwritten, dating back from Tolomeo copies to 1939, with the folk tourist map of V. Nicouline published by De Agostini.

The Ethnographic Museum is a huge collection of refined Sardinian handicrafts. It is featured by an exhibition of textiles, jewels, furniture, utensils and carvings, dating back to the second half of 19th century and the first half of the 20th .
All items were collected by the Sardinian magistrate and collector Luigi Cocco (1883 – 1959).

The 731 pieces of the textile collection come from central and southern Sardinia and belong to the traditional horizontal loom: blankets, chest covers, table covers, cushion covers, bed ornaments, ornamental strips, tablecloths, towels, pot holders, saddle bags, animal collars.

 The collection also includes many jewels: 1266, mainly in silver. Although their origin and history is attested only in very few cases, they documented the major types of Sardinian popular tradition in clothing and accessories for women. These ornaments had also a strong symbolic value and a social differentiation, even in the case of magic protection amulets.

Among artifacts and home decors, wooden crates have a considerable importance, large in size (Kascia or arka) and small (kascitta or kascioneddu), and they are highlight in any ethnographic collection in the island. They belong to the barbaric category and they are in chestnut wood and they have hinged lid. They are formed by wooden carvings with geometric, zoomorphic and phytomorphic decorations.

Feminine and Masculine Figures

Descrizione

All the sculptures by Costantino Nivola manifest the deep roots in the millenary culture of Sardinia. His works are present in museums and galleries around the world, from the USA to the various municipalities of his homeland. In Cagliari we can admire those present around the building of the Region, of which he also signed the urban plan.

The art of Nivola originates from traditional materials that he learned to work in Sardinia and materializes in the USA, where the major representatives of the current artistic currents dwell.

His sculptures recall those of primitive civilization and take up their original substantial form and attention to the passionate expressiveness of the material. Another important feature of Nivola's sculptures is the desire to bring them into harmony and communication with the surrounding space and make everything as universal as possible.
