These spread particularly after the 1963 earthquake that seriusly destroyed about 60 cties in that context. The sensible seisnic area, which had its epicentre in the Valley of Noto with a major destroying result, streaches from Calabria to Malta till the northen African coast. Most cities of south-eastern Sicily were rebuilt in the original site. Amongst them: Catania; some, like Noto, in sites different from the original; others: Ragusa and Palazzolo Acreide were subdivided and new urban centres were created next to the ancient ones; others either slided towards near areas partially already urbanized: ex. Scicli and Modica or repaired: Caltagirone , etc. The rebuilding of 'Val di Noto' was a chance to an enormouse artistic, architectonical and anti-seismic renewal of the cities, medieval in their styles till 1693, the date of the eartquake. The earthquake freed so many energies and money in the same time that bold and impressive urbanistic changes were realized. All of them in the south - eastern Sicily are a unicum in the panorama of World baroque with a cluster of rebuilt or repaired cities in the same shared time and models. After the planning culture, sprung in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, most architecture and 'modern' town-planning of south-eastern Sicily become the first specific response to seismic disaster. Very many are the creators and makers of the baroque appearance of so many cities rebuilt or refounded: archi- tects, engineers, master masons, and lots of variously skilled craftsman (lapidum incisores, decorators, plaster- ers, etc.), little known or rather anonymous till nowa- days; these craftsmen with their variety of specializa- tions contributed in the building renewal as much as the more famous architects,.Outstanding figure is Rosario Gagliardi, master 'of the Valley of Noto and of his valley', perhaps the most original, creative and free of the architects in the Sicilian eighteenth century. His religious erecting yards in the valley of Noto witness the ripening of a complex planning that concerns both boundary system(ex. 'San Domenico' in Noto) and facades. Gagliardi is a renown master of the tower facade in the Sicilian style (it The right: “Sicilia afflicta”. Medal coined in develops in highness and absorbs the bell-tower); this peculiarity draws him memory of the earthquake of to Austrian artists' such as Fisher Von Erlach, LUCAS VON HILDE- 1693. 29 Noto and late Baroque of South-Eastern Sicily 30 Noto and late Baroque of South-Eastern Sicily BRANDT and others working in Germany. The facade model developing in highness, has been extraordinary lucky in the 'Val di Noto, has made undoubtly the holy landscape of the Hibley particular and has advanced like a new sign and new visual realization of the site (ex San Giorgio in Reg. Iblea or San Giorgio in Modica). In the area of Catania the other well- known protagonist is Giovan Battista Vaccarini whose expressive style mir- rors a major influence from baroque classicism and the official Roman cul- ture he was bound to since the years of his training and accomplishment at St. Luca's Academy; he created something new after the first baroque directly seen and studied. With his choices he has determined the essence and stylistic homogeneity of the buildings in Catania after 1693 inflating the excitement of baroque scenography in the urban area. His arrange- ments and facades (in the typical 'giganti' order with its matching different materials: calcareous stone and lavic stone) are planned like 'scenes' facing the street or the square. The great town-planning civilization of after earth- quake shows how high architectural solutions are given thanks to the strong incomparable economic interplay of different social groups.

    Kapitel 2 Bauwissen Im Italien Der Frühen Neuzeit Hermann Schlimme, Dagmar Holste, Jens Niebaum

    Kapitel 2 Bauwissen im Italien der Frühen Neuzeit Hermann Schlimme, Dagmar Holste, Jens Niebaum Das Bauwesen der Frühen Neuzeit in Italien ist ein sehr großes sowie gut dokumentiertes und bearbeitetes Forschungsfeld. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht, einen Überblick über das Bauwissen dieser Epoche zu geben. Die Texte wurden von drei Autoren erstellt.1 2.1 Die Frühe Neuzeit in Italien 2.1.1 Naturräumliche Bedingungen Italien ist mit Ausnahme der Po-Ebene und Teilen Apuliens eine bergige bis hochgebirgi- ge Halbinsel. So prägen sich die Regionen kulturell unterschiedlich aus. Die Topographie bringt zudem reiche Natursteinvorkommen mit sich, die sich von Region zu Region un- terscheiden und die regionale Architektur maßgeblich beeinflussen. Die Verwendung von Marmor ist für ganz Italien charakteristisch. In der Po-Ebene, wo es keinen Naturstein gibt, entwickelte sich dagegen eine auf Ziegelstein beruhende Baukultur. Holz ist in ganz Italien vorhanden. Eine für Italien typische Ansiedlungsform sind Bergdörfer und Bergstädte, die auf die geographischen Vorgaben reagieren und sich gleichzeitig gut verteidigen lassen. Da die Schifffahrt entlang der Küsten und auf den Flussunterläufen eine große Bedeutung hatte, 1Hermann Schlimme erstellte folgende Textteile: Abschnitt 2.1: „Die Frühe Neuzeit in Italien“ (vollständig); Ab- schnitt 2.2 „Bauverwaltung“, einleitender Absatz und Unterabschnitt „Städtische Statuten und Bauvorschriften“, „Capitolati, cottimo und andere bauspezifische Organisationsformen“, „Die Capitani di Parte Guelfa und die Uffi-

    Santa Cecilia 2008 Now Is DOC Noto

    Santa Cecilia 2008 now is DOC Noto If we imagine Santa Cecilia to be like a ship that has sailed for twelve years to reach Sicily, then here with the 2008 vintage and the new DOC Noto , we can imagine that the ship has found a mooring in the most beautiful and safest harbour that exists; also full of history, appeal and tradition. At last we can use the DOC Noto , thanks to which we can place on the label the name which represents the chosen territory of Nero d’Avola , the noble grape from which this wine is wholly produced. The new disciplinary of the DOC Noto was completed in January 2008 and was created with the intention of uniting the two historic grapes of the area, Moscato di Noto and Nero d’Avola , which between Pachino and the country to the south of Noto have been known for centuries. Two vines that can provide strength to the territory under a single name, DOC Noto. Planeta has always wished for a DOC Noto and has always considered it fundamental to be able to communicate the importance of the territory of origin of their wine. Noto, that today can also boast the prestigious title of a UNESCO Heritage Site. Noto and Nero d’Avola, Noto and the baroque, and Noto and its Passito are a single entity. We are firmly convinced that the DOC Noto and Nero d’Avola will become similar to that of Montalcino and Sangiovese; a unique area, extraordinary and without equal. Santa Cecilia storytelling In 1997 we decided to make wine from nero d’Avola grapes with a small addition of syrah , from our vineyard in Menfi and Sambuca di Sicilia.

    Photo Ragusa

    foto Municipalities (link 3) Modica Modica [ˈmɔːdika] (Sicilian: Muòrica, Greek: Μότουκα, Motouka, Latin: Mutyca or Motyca) is a city and comune of 54.456 inhabitants in the Province of Ragusa, Sicily, southern Italy. The city is situated in the Hyblaean Mountains. Modica has neolithic origins and it represents the historical capital of the area which today almost corresponds to the Province of Ragusa. Until the 19th century it was the capital of a County that exercised such a wide political, economical and cultural influence to be counted among the most powerful feuds of the Mezzogiorno. Rebuilt following the devastating earthquake of 1693, its architecture has been recognised as providing outstanding testimony to the exuberant genius and final flowering of Baroque art in Europe and, along with other towns in the Val di Noto, is part of UNESCO Heritage Sites in Italy. Saint George’s Church in Modica Historical chocolate’s art in Modica The Cioccolato di Modica ("Chocolate of Modica", also known as cioccolata modicana) is an Italian P.G.I. specialty chocolate,[1] typical of the municipality of Modica in Sicily, characterized by an ancient and original recipe using manual grinding (rather than conching) which gives the chocolate a peculiar grainy texture and aromatic flavor.[2][3][4] The specialty, inspired by the Aztec original recipe for Xocolatl, was introduced in the County of Modica by the Spaniards, during their domination in southern Italy.[5][6] Since 2009 a festival named "Chocobarocco" is held every year in the city. Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto (South-Eastern Sicily) The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily: Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli, were all rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the earthquake which took place in that year.

UN MARMO DEL BAROCCO SICILIANO Giuseppe Antista* «Il colore del suo fondo è corallino, ma ornato delle più belle macchie verdi, bianche, gialle, violacee ed oscure. Questo marmo ... viene tenuto in maggior conto di ogni altro. Roma n’è a dovizia fornita per le tante colonne portatevi da Trapani, e per le tante cappelle impellicciate, e ben lavorate di questo marmo»1. Cosi veniva descritto nella Guida istruttiva del Di Marzo Ferro il libeccio antico, uno dei marmi siciliani più pregiati, cavato un tempo a Custonaci (Tp). Il libeccio estratto attualmente ha delle caratteristiche alquanto diverse da quello “antico”, largamente usato tra la fine del Cinquecento e la prima metà del Settecento in moltissime architetture siciliane, ma anche in prestigiosi edifici extraisolani; attraverso Fig. 1.

  • Meredith College Travel Letter Sicily, Italy

    Meredith College Travel Letter Sicily, Italy

    Dear Friends of Meredith Travel, I just spent a most enjoyable morning. In preparation for writing this letter about our September 25-October 7, 2018, tour of Sicily, I reviewed my photographs from the trip I made there this past summer. I simply can’t wait to go back! Betty describes southern Italy as Italy to the 3rd power—older, grander, and more richly complex. Sicily, we agree, is Italy to the 10th power, at least. It was, by far, the most exotic version of our favorite country that I have yet to encounter, made so by its location and history, which includes a dizzying mix of cultures. It was Greek far longer than it has been Italian. It was Arab. Norman. Swabian. Aragonese. Austrian. Even Bourbon French! All left their mark. And finally, and relatively recently (1860), the Risorgimento fought it into being part of unified Italy. The food, the architecture, and customs can best be understood by experiencing them all firsthand, so without further ado, I would like to summarize our itinerary for you. Join me now as we vicariously tour Sicily together. Day 1: Sept. 25 (Tues) Departure. We depart the U.S. to arrive the next day in Palermo, the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily. Day 2: Sept. 26 (Wed) Palermo. Palermo is a city of 700,000, by far the largest on the island, with an ancient historic city center with structures representing the panorama of its past. After a quick driving tour to orient us to the city, we stop, drop bags at the hotel, and head out to see perhaps the most perfect medieval buildings in the world, the Norman Palace and Palatine Chapel, the latter known for its extraordinary mosaics designed in such a way that the aesthetics of the Arab, Jewish, and Norman artisans are all incorporated.

    SICILIA: Siracusa Conquista Un Triste Primato Cosa Nostra Si Riorganizza E Diversifica Gli Affari

    SICILIA: Siracusa conquista un triste primato Cosa nostra si riorganizza e diversifica gli affari Non deve ingannare il calo dell’8 per cento di intimidazioni censite rispetto al 2016: la Sicilia era e resta uno dei territori simbolo degli “Amministratori sotto tiro”, costantemente tra le prime 3 regioni più colpite annualmente dalle intimidazioni e che vede coinvolte tutte le 9 province dell’Isola. 79 gli atti intimidatori registrati nel 2017. Già tra i territori più colpiti del 2016, la provincia di Siracusa è diventata nel 2017 quella più bersagliata, con 18 casi censiti in 8 Comuni. Tra questi spicca Avola, dove si sono registrate tensioni nel corso dell’intero anno tra un tentativo di aggressione ai danni del Sindaco, l’incendio dell’auto di un candidato, l’invio di proiettili e il ritrovamento di un finto pacco bomba nei pressi del Comune. Intimidazione reiterate anche a Canicattini Bagni, mediante un ordigno rudimentale utilizzato contro l’abitazione di un dipendente comunale e l’incendio dell’auto di famiglia di un assessore. Sotto tiro anche amministratori e dipendenti in Comuni già coinvolti da minacce negli anni passati, come Francofonte e Rosolini. Segno di una pressione costante con cui devono fare i conti sindaci e dirigenti pubblici di certe zone del nostro Paese. A seguire nella graduatoria regionale la provincia di Palermo con 13 casi censiti, dato in perfetta continuità con il 2016. Si segnalano gli incendi di strutture legate al ciclo dei rifiuti, business a cui sono particolarmente sensibili le organizzazioni criminali, a Santa Cristina Gela e all’Isola delle Femmine. Al Sindaco di Polizzi Generosa Giuseppe Lo Verde è stata recapitata una testa di maiale mozzata presso la sua abitazione.
