by European Union Culture 2000, the Region of Sardinia—Italy) with a project

Roberto Coroneo
Professor of Architectural history in Cagliari. A rising star in his field, he died
prematurely just a few months after he completed his chapter for this volume.
He wrote extensively about Sardinian architecture, sculpture, and art but also
had a broad range of interests outside Sardinia and in the Mediterranean. His
biggest contribution is the updating of Raffaello Delogu’s survey of medieval
Sardinian churches (1952) with his beautiful book Architettura Romainca dalla
metà del mille al primo ‘300 (1993) and his “Chiese romaniche in Sardegna.” He
was active in placing Sardinia into a wider context to expand and rethink how
religious architecture contributed to the introduction of sculpture to the island
with his “Scultura mediobizantina in Sardegna.” He is sorely missed.
