Here in Medio Campidano, the master Antioco Tomasi di Gonnosfanadiga (1913-2005) enjoys great fame, for his "arche" from the beautiful carvings. The surname has been present in Sardinia since ancient times, proving that this art has its roots in the ancient traditions of the island. In ancient documents it is always preceded by "de".

In the text of Fara - De Rebus Sardois IV - there is a certain Antonio Arca. Only the Sassaresi had sent Antonio Arca to Genoa, who had procured guns for the defense of the Piana and Porto Torres islands. Sassarenses tantum aenea tormenta, quibus insulae Planae et Portus Turrium arces munirent, misso Antonio Arca ex Genua sibi compararunt.In the period in which the viceroy seized all the goods that the Jews possessed in Sardinia (we are in 1527, the day after the birth of the eldest son Filippo, Carlo V ° emperor, for which there were also great celebrations in Sardinia) and a dispute was born between Sassaresi and Algheresi for the right to fish for coral in Porto Ferro). In history we remember Arca Proto, historian (Bitti 1562 -1599), ordained priest in 1584. In the same year he became part of the Society of Jesus. In 1592 he published the work "de bello et interitu marchionis Oristanei, which narrates the revolt and the end of Leonardo Alagòn, a century before, perhaps by imitation of Alagòn, even priest Arca became a rebel and was expelled from the Company. He was then rector of Lodè, but even here he expressed his opposition to some parishioners. He was again investigated by the Holy Office in 1599, but the death, suddenly arrived, only 37 years old, saved him from a severe condemnation! (Di. Sto. Sa) .We remember that Arca is also the name of an abandoned village, also called Arave, located in the countryside of Usini It belonged to the Curadorìa of Flumenàrgia, of the Judicial kingdom of Torres, abandoned towards the end of the XIIIth century.The village is mentioned, with the name Arave, in the Condaghe of San Pietro di Silki, * CSPS, XIth, XIIIth century. the surname Arca is present in 193 Italian Municipalities, of which 62 in Sardinia: Sassari 128, Silanus 125, Alghero 85, Cagliari 81, Cuglieri 50, Baltei 49, Abbasanta 40, etc. DE ARCA: very rare; present in only two Municipalities: Teti 3, Tonara 2.
