To know
Geographical notes
Loceri is located in Ogliastra and borders on Bari Sardo, Ilbono, Lanusei, Osini is Tertenia.
Background
The area was already inhabited in the Nuragic era due to the presence in the territory of some nuraghi.
It belonged to the Giudicato of Cagliari and was part of the Ogliastra curatoria. At the fall of the Giudicato (1258) it fell into the power of the judges of Gallura. In 1296, with the death of the last judge of Gallura Nino Visconti, most of the territories of the former Giudicato, including Ogliastra, passed under the Pisan dominion until 1324, when they were conquered by the Aragonese. In 1363 Loceri, together with other villas of Ogliastra, was incorporated by the King of Aragon Pietro IV the ceremonious in the county of Quirra, given as a fief to Berengario Carroz; it was a county villa until 1603, when the county was transformed into a marquisate, a fief of the Centelles. The town was redeemed to the Osorio de la Cueva, who succeeded the Centelles, in 1839 with the suppression of the feudal system wanted by the Savoy.
There are numerous testimonies of the pre-Nuragic era, especially on the borders with Ilbono and Bari Sardo, which indicate that the territory was inhabited from the end of the fourth millennium BC.
The testimonies of the Nuragic era are more numerous and testify to an intense occupation of this territory in the Middle and Late Bronze Age. In the locality of Goene, evidence and materials from the Roman era were found, while in the locality of Flumini there are traces of a rural settlement from the Roman era. Canon Flavio Cocco (in "data relating to the towns of the Diocese of Ogliastra"), writes that the first mention of the town of Luccieri is made in a Pisan document of 1316 where it was indicated as destroyed, (Saltus dictus Luccieri qui olim fuit ville Luccieri nunc destructe - F. Artizzu: the Pisan revenues of the Giudicato of Cagliari, page 94) perhaps during the struggles of the Municipality of Pisa against Giovanni Visconti between 1258 and 1308 when the Castello della Rosa in Ogliastra and that of Maluiginu fell in Sarrabus.
The Pisan document also reports that the first nucleus of the town of Loceri was located in the locality of Goene, 2 km NEE of Loceri and 4 ½ NW of Barisardo. Canon F. Cocco, reporting the data of the Pisan document of 1316, argues instead that the saltus of Luccieri was located between the village of Barì and the house of Gueni (located in the current locality of Goeni). According to the scholar, the site of Luccieri was perhaps straddling the rio de Mesu where there was also the church dedicated to San Tommaso which, according to the parish priest Giuseppe Cabiddu, would have been the parish church destroyed by a flood of the river and then rebuilt in the eighteenth century, in neoclassical style, in the current site, about a hundred meters from the ancient one but dedicated to St. Peter the Apostle to which a cemetery was annexed until 1905.
Before its destruction, the town had been part of the Ogliastra curatoria, belonging to the Giudicato of Cagliari, as the Pisan document of 1316 always testifies. list of Ogliastra villages in fief of Countess Iolanda Carroz. The country in 1708 is under the Austrian dominion and from 1720 to 1861 it is under the Piedmontese.
There are various hypotheses on the origin of the toponym; some scholars believe that there is a correlation with Locri of Magna Graecia and that its settlement was formed following the flight of the Greeks from their homeland, others derive the name from Villa Luceri, Villa di Locerio, or from Locus Aeris ( place of copper) or from Luccieri (the name of an ancient disappeared town).
In particular, the derivation from Villa Luceri according to the scholar Massimo Pittau, would have originated from Luceres, one of the Etruscan tribes originating in Rome which would make possible the hypothesis of a link between the Etruscan and Nuragic civilizations. The toponym could finally have a proto Sardinian origin given the presence in the territory of the nuraghi of Ursu, Sa Puliga, Su Casargiu, Is Piroddis, the Nuraghe Cèa, Nuraxi, the nuraghe Monte Nuraxi.
Traces of pre-Nuragic life are documented by the Domus de Janas of Is Arceddas in Canale Is Piroddis. Some reliable data regarding the number of inhabitants settled in the municipal area in the mid-19th century can be obtained from the "historical, statistical and commercial geographical dictionary" compiled by Prof. G. Casalis which reports the focaggio lists formed in the parliaments held from 1656 to 1698, in them it is observed that in Locheri in 1654 there were 62 fires (about 250 inhabitants), while the number of inhabitants settled in 1840 was equal to 840.
"In the year 1840 there were adults, 256 males, 300 females, 154 males, 150 females, 840 souls in all, and 256 families. The average of the population movement determined over the past decade of 25 births, 14 deaths and 4 marriages. The ordinary course of life in those who happily pass through the many dangers of early age, is usually 60 years old, but examples of greater longevity are not infrequent. ... The cemetery is behind the parish church, in the valley, for which the east passes. The exhalations of the superficial burials offend the meaning of not a few "
In the first fifty years of the nineteenth century agriculture, weaving and pastoralism were practiced. Mostly wheat, barley, legumes and flax were cultivated, the vines were very productive and there were about 18 varieties of grapes. The mild climate favored the production of fruit trees that reached twenty thousand specimens. The agricultural vocation of the village is evident not only from the data reported by Casalis, but also from the analysis of the De Candia cartography.
