Il testamento di Nino Visconti giudice di Gallura (26 luglio 1296)

Nino Visconti, the Pisan king of the little Sardinian Kingdom of Gallura, shared for a few mounths (between 1287 and 1288) the rule of Pisa with the famous Count Ugolino, and was equally encountered by Dante in his Comedy. Nino made his will on 1296, July 26. At this time, he was attempting to defend his Kingdom against Mariano, king of Arborea, who had allied himself with the Commune of Pisa. The paper aims to clarify the last years of Nino’s life and his final decision to make a desperate effort to save his political position in Sardinia
