Luigi Cardini (1898-1971): a biography

Skeates, R.

Abstract

Little has been written about Luigi Cardini, with the exception of a couple of obituaries (Segre 1972; Acanfora 1971) and some brief statements about his contribution to the development of Italian archaeology (e.g. Guidi 1988: 81, 83; Peroni 1992: 65, 68; Barbanera 1998: 129). Cardini was averse to official recognition, but through his writings, both published and unpublished and through the work of others, it is possible to construct a general picture of his life and work, enabling us to consider his research in Albania in the context of his career as a whole.
