It was probably dominated by wars between Genoa and Pisa which lasted from 1118 to 1133. Constantine tightened Aborea's alliance with the Republic of Pisa.

Santa Maria De Bonarcado
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring children gifts during the late evening and overnight hours on Christmas Eve of toys and candy or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are "naughty or nice".
