Il culto di santa Cecilia a Cagliari nell’altomedioevo. Una testimonianza ignorataKeywords: Cagliari , Saints , Churches , Middle age , Towns Abstract: Reading again an ancient text written at Cagliari in the Age of Giudici (medieval age) let me pay attention to some details, at the moment neglected.The document starts with a prayer to local and foreigner saints, in particular to Saturninus and Cecilia. The last one had given the name to a church, that was destroyed in 1258. In this paper I have analyzed the birth and the importance of the cult of Cecilia, a roman saint, for the Christian life of medieval Cagliari, in relationship with the cathedral, that is yet unknown.
