Overview
The northeastern judicate (Latin Iudicatus Gallurae), capital Civita (Olbia); subdivided into ten curatoriae. The name is popularly derived from gallus ("rooster"), which appears on its arms. Ruled by figures such as Manfred (c. 1020–1040), Elena of Gallura (1200–1225), and finally Nino Visconti (1276–1296) — the friend of Dante mentioned in Purgatorio. Long allied with Cagliari, Gallura passed through marriage into the orbit of the Pisan Visconti family and, on the failure of the line, was absorbed by Pisa in 1288 (formally disestablished 1296).
