The Longobards in Italy. Places of Power (568-774 A.D.) THE LONGOBARDS IN ITALY. PLACES OF POWER (568-774 A.D.) It is a serial site which includes the most important Longobard monumental evidence existing on the Italian territory, from north to south, where the domains of Longobards Ducati extended. Besides the city of Brescia, the site includes Cividale del Friuli, Torba-Castelseprio, Campello sul Clitunno, Spoleto, Benevento and Monte Sant'Angelo. Among the Longobards places inscribed on the List of World Heritage, Brescia boasts the greatest extension, consisting of the monastery of San Salvatore-Santa Giulia and the archaeological area of the Capitolium. The convent of San Salvatore-Santa Giulia, built by the Duke of Brescia Desiderio with his wife Ansa in 753 A.D., is an extraordinary architectural complex incorporating several buildings such as the church of San Salvatore, one of the most important testimonies of religious architecture of the early Middle Ages. Throughout the centuries important architectural interventions have expanded the original structure of the monastery to include three cloisters of different ages, the Romanesque church of Santa Maria in Solario, the fourteenth-century choir and the fifteenth-century church of Santa Giulia The complex is now home to the City Museum, which houses the historical and artistic treasures of Brescia and its territory, from prehistory to the Roman, Longobard, Medieval and Renaissance periods. The archaeological area of the Capitolium, which is located a few meters from the monastery of San Salvatore-Santa Giulia, testifies the continuity of population in the area, from the Romans to the Longobards. Included among the oldest and most important buildings of the Roman era are the Capitoline Temple (73 A.D.), the theater (I-III century A.D.) and the stretch of pavement of the decumannus. There are still visible remains of the service facilities of the monastery, engaged in the reception of pilgrims and the housing for the poor.

Hence the natural collaboration with the Regional Committee for Disabled People and their Families of Friuli Venezia Giulia, an organization recognized by Regional law as representing the interests of people with disabilities on the territory, the technical service of the Council CRIBA FVG (Regional Information Centre on Architectural Barriers) and the Tetra- Paraplegic Association of FVG, in order to offer experiences truly accessible to everyone as they have been checked out and experienced by people with different disabilities. The main goal of the project is to identify and overcome not only architectural or sensory barriers but also informative and cultural ones from the sea to the mountains, from the cities to the splendid natural areas, from culture to food and wine, with the aim of making the guests true guests, whatever their needs.

  • MITTELFEST 2020: Empathy 5 - 13 September, Cividale Del Friuli Artistic Direction by Haris Pašović
    Cividale del Friuli, 8 July 2020 MITTELFEST 2020: Empathy 5 - 13 September, Cividale del Friuli Artistic direction by Haris Pašović With 25 artistic projects, 10 world/Italian premieres, 3 Mittelforums: the theme of Mittelfest 2020 is Empathy: the vision of a new possible world after the pandemic, conveyed through music, theatre and dance, with open questions. Maintaining an international dimension, European collaborations and nurturing the dialogue between its border territory and Central Europe, this year Mittelfest supports Italian artists in particular with 17 shows. Special attention goes to new digital languages and new technology, in a surprisingly human form, and their increasingly leading role in the present and as bridges for the future. YET how much do they interfere in an empathic relationship and in the perception of reality? PRESS RELEASE Will really the dawn of a new way of living arise after the pandemic that united the whole world in a common challenge? And will EMPATHY, the ability to share someone else's feelings, become the launching pad for a common future? And how much respect for specificities is a wealth not to be lost? Then, what are the boundaries that bring value and those of fear? These are some of the inevitable questions on the reconstruction of the world to come, after the world we knew was shaken to its foundations by COVID-19. Hence Mittelfest 2020 - festival of music, theatre and dance from the countries of Central Europe and the Balkans - is dedicated precisely to the theme of EMPATHY. Moved from the

  • The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia Regions
    DEPAUW SUMMER 2015 Explore Italy REGIONS AND CITIES OF NORTHEASTERN ITALY The Authentic Italy Northeastern Italy is composed of two regions, Veneto and Friuli Venezia-Giulia. At the geographical heart of Europe, the area has played host to many different peoples and cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Huns, Byzantines, Lombards, Franks, Venetians, French, and Hapsburgs, before becoming regions of Italy. The result is an area rich in diverse architecture and art, and one with world-class cuisine and wine. The two regions are home to no less than eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The New York Times recently called Friuli “Italy’s Secret Garden,” and the region has only lately been discovered by non- The Veneto and Friuli Venezia Europeans. Giulia Regions “Friuli is the great undiscovered region of Italy: It has beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, stunning undiscovered alps in Carnia, idyllic scenery in the winegrowing district known as Collio, vibrant and handsome cities such as Udine and mysterious Trieste, historical centers such as Aquileia and Cividale del Friuli, wonderful food and wine, great coffee, good cultural facilities, and above all some of the warmest, most welcoming people you will ever meet.” Slovenia & Croatia A town of ancient origins on the coast of the Istrian peninsula, 25 km from Italy, Piran was voluntarily absorbed into the Venetian empire in 1283 when Croatian pirates were continually threatening the Dalmatian coast. Many Venetian artists visited and worked in Piran, including the famed Piranese violinist Giuseppe Tartini (born in Piran) and the Venetian master painter Tintoretto, one of whose paintings can be seen in the local museum.
