This paper outlines the results of a study aimed at charting the spread and development of the mathematical sciences in Sardinia over the period from 1720, the year in which the island was awarded to the Savoy dynasty following the Treaty of The Hague, to 1848, the year in which King Charles Albert of Sardinia placed Sardinia on a level political and administrative footing with the Kingdom's mainland territory. In particular, the paper analyses the role played in the transmission and spread of mathematics by the Savoy educational institutions.
SommarioIn questo articolo vengono riassunti i risultati di uno studio finalizzato a ricostruire i processi di diffusione e di sviluppo delle scienze matematiche in Sardegna nel periodo compreso fra il 1720, anno in cui l'isola fu assegnata ai Savoia dopo il trattato dell'Aia, e il 1848, anno in cui il re Carlo Alberto equiparò sotto il profilo politico e amministrativo l'isola ai restanti territori di terraferma. Si analizza, in particolare, il ruolo svolto dalle istituzioni educative sabaude.
