  • 064-Sant'andrea Delle Fratte
    (064/36) Sant'Andrea delle Fratte Sant'Andrea delle Fratte is a minor basilica, as well as an early 17th century parish, titular and convent church in the rione Colonna, just to the south of the Piazza di Spagna, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle. History The first church here was built in the 1192, called infra hortes (later translated into "delle Fratte" or "shrubs") for it was located in a countryside area. The first time that the name Fratte is used is in the 15th century. It means literally "woods" or "overgrown vegetation", and seems to commemorate an overgrown area which might have been an abandoned piece of land, some shrubby garden or the facing slope of the Pincian hill when it was still wild. (1) (11) The church was probably rebuilt (or newly built on this site) in the 15th century, when there is a hint in the records that an Augustinian nunnery was established here. Then it was for some time the national church of Scotland as an independent kingdom (St Andrew is Scotland's patron). After the Scottish Reformation in 1560 the Scots completely lost interest in it, and for a while it was taken over by a pious confraternity dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. However it was given to the Order of Minim of St. Francis of Paola Friars in 1585, and they still serve the parish which was simultaneously created. (1) (11) In 1604 the construction of the new church was begun, under the design of Gaspare Guerra. The project halted in 1612 due to lack of funds.

  • ASCOR Final Report V4
    Project ASCOR, Bulgarian-Swiss Research Programme, Final Report, June 2016 Final Scientific Report Arsenic contamination of Ogosta river: Linking biogeochemical processes in floodplain soils with river system dynamics (ASCOR) 1. Introduction The sustainable management of land, which has been heavily contaminated by industrial or mining activities, poses an important challenge to many industrialized countries, including Bulgaria. This project focused on arsenic (As) contamination in NW Bulgaria, where the floodplains of the Ogosta river received large amounts of As-rich mining wastes near Chiprovtsi between 1964 and 1979. The research project had three main goals, which were addressed in three work packages (WP1–3): • WP1 – Investigation of the magnitude and spatial distribution of As contamination in the floodplains of Ogosta river (Bulgaria) using an integrated approach based on topography, hydrology, and geochemistry (WP1, lead partner: BAS). • WP2 - Improvement of our process-understanding of As speciation and mobility in highly-contaminated, mining affected river floodplains during alternating periods of high/low flow and flooding/drainage, respectively (WP2, lead partner: ETH). • WP3 – Exploration of novel approaches for integrating process-oriented, molecular-scale knowledge (WP2) and river-system scale information (WP1) to better understand As dynamics, As fluxes, and impacts on water quality at the river-system scale (lead partners: ETH and BAS). This final report briefly summarizes the activities and results achieved in the three work packages. It is structured according to the tasks outlined in the original proposal. 2. Summary of research results 2.1. Results of WP1 Task 1-1. Building a GIS database for the upper Ogosta river catchment During the life time of the project data on soil, topography, groundwater, hydrological and hydrogeological settings has been generated and organized in Excel files and in data layers to be used and processed in GIS environment.

Also known in the Turkish historiography as the Sırpsındığı Zaferi this Ottoman victory over a coalition of South-East European rulers (King Vukašin and Despot Uglješa) in the vicinity of Edirne is referred to in the historiographies in the region as an event that initiated the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans. The following study will offer a broad discussion on the sources as well as studies referring to early Ottoman history and the Battle of the Maritsa River. My intention is to bring attention to the great variety of versions that narrate the event. I will discuss how the authors constructed all these visions on the memorable event. By comparing Ottoman, Slavic, Greek and western sources I will discuss how these accounts came into being, the chronology they use, their imagination of the battlefield etc.

  • Engineer Ilie Radu, in Order to Satisfy the City's Needs with Drinking Water from the Danube
    Project "The Path of Clay" Project code 15.2.1.003, funded by INTERREG V-A Romania-Bulgaria Program Introduction The Danube River has always been and will be a symbol of life. The great river separates and unites people, gives them drinking water, irrigation, gives them food and livelihood. It is an important transport artery - rafts, boats and ships since ancient times have connected not only its two banks, but also people who live and work in its fertile plain. The Danube divides and unites nations, cities and states. Downstream, before its fast-paced waters flow into the Black Sea, the water border is formed between two Balkan states - Bulgaria and Romania. The Lower Danube spills its lush waters along both shores to water the mother land feeding the two peoples - Bulgarian and Romanian. Tighten up your luggage and come with us on an exciting journey through the Path of Clay. We will have eight administrative districts located in two countries - Bulgaria and Romania, on both sides of the fertile Danube valley. Awaiting us a journey full of surprises and inspiration. In addition to beautiful scenery, you will be impressed: ancient ruins from the beginning of our millennium scattered in the two Roman provinces of Dacia and Moesia; medieval Orthodox churches and monasteries; remnants of fortress walls and destroyed palaces, who are witnesses of past majesty and glory. We will trace how the lives of our ancestors changed in different ages, we will touch their lifestyle, traditions and culture. But still there is the eternal land to which we are born and live.
