The residential securitisation is still an unexplored topic in Italy. This article presents the results of a gated communities mapping in Sardinia, realized through the analysis of real estate advertisements and satellite images. In this territorial context the presence of housing developments with the access allowed only to residents is strictly related to the flows of tourism, with critical issues concerning the environmental impact and the use of the land.
