Capo Mannu and Castelsardo was required to stop off at Alghero to pay

the fishing rights. The city retained this privilege over subsequent centuries,

but foreigners actually ended up benefiting from it to a greater extent

than the local people did. In the late 18th century, coral fishing in Sardinia

was thrown into crisis following the discovery of African coral reefs,

but in the 19th century there was a marked upturn, with around 300 coral-fishing

boats regularly using the port. By the 20th century, coral fishing

was once again on the decline, but even more significantly a major depletion

of the resources was noted, attributable to the use of trawlers. In

1979, this practice was declared illegal, and since then Sardinia Region

has governed the harvesting of coral, with annual licences being granted

to professional fishermen, and strict regulations on the fishing periods

and the quantities of coral that may be caught.

While Alghero can boast ancient fishing traditions, the working of coral

is a relatively new phenomenon. Indeed, it was only in 1952, thanks to

the initiative shown by Filippo Figari and Verdina Pensè, that a tradition of

coral-crafting began to be established. A Coral School (Scuola del Corallo)

was duly established, which until the 2000s nurtured the talent of

many of the artisans and artists operating in the city.

Today, Alghero protects its “red gold” and views it as a vital element of the

local identity and culture. The city has its own Coral Museum (Museo del

Corallo) and has created a Quality Mark for the coral worked here.

La pesca del corall és practicada llong la costa de la Sardenya ja

de l’antiguitat. Ma és durant l’edat mitjana que l’Alguer revisti un rol

fondamental per aqueixa activitat, tant que el corall ve significativament

refigurat ja en lo primer escut de la ciutat conferit en l’any 1354

del rei Pere IV d’Aragó el Cerimoniós.

A partir de la meitat del ‘300, qui pescava corall en la costa que va de

Capo Mannu a Castelsardo era obligat a passar a l’Alguer per pagar los

drets de pesca. La ciutat ha mantengut aqueix privilegi en los sèculs

successius, ma a tendre avantatge d’aqueixa riquesa natural són estats

demés los foristers que els algueresos.

A la fi del sècul XVIII la pesca del corall en Sardenya és entrada en crisis

a causa de la descoberta dels bancs coral·lífers africans, ma al ‘800

hi és estada una represa amb la presència de 300 embarcacions per la

pesca del corall en lo port. Al ‘900 se registra un nou declini de la pesca,

ma sobretot una depauperació d’aqueixa riquesa natural per culpa

de la tècnica de pesca amb l’enginy.

Al 1979 aqueixa pràctica és estada declarada il·legal i d’alhora la Regió

Sardenya disciplina la pesca del corall amb concessions anuals a

pescadors professionals i amb règules dures relativament als temps i

a les quantitats que se poden pescar.

Si és ver que l’Alguer vanta una tradició de pesca assai antiga, no és

altretant antic lo treball artijanal local d’aqueix preciós element. Solament

al 1952, per iniciativa de Filippo Figari i Verdina Pensè, naix la idea

de volguer crear una tradició d’artijanat del corall. Ve fundada l’Escola

del Corall que fins als anys 2000 ha vist entre els sous estudents tants

dels artijans i dels artistes que encara avui treballen en ciutat.

Avui l’Alguer protigi l’Or Vermell i el valoritza considerant-lo un fort

element identitari i cultural, gràcies a la presència del Museu del Corall

i a la creació d’una Marca de qualitat.
