This process is carried out by scanning around the figure and the heritage resources of the Borgia family, present in the municipalities of this axis: Llombia, Canals, Albaida, Gandia and Xátiva. The potential contributions of different municipalities studied make this part of the territory a fate intertwined with sociocultural identity: culture, tradition, history and heritage, nature and lifestyle, which are articulated as elements of satisfaction of components of life experiences sought out by visitors. Culture “Los Borgia” of Route Cultural (heritage, history, gastronomy, traditions, etc...) and nature are deeply related with a quality of life increasingly in demand today by visitors / tourists. Thus, the tourism market requires resources above for the development of new products that add value to the visitor experience. 2. Objectives • General objective: Establish tourism activity in Gandia-Xàtiva axis through the design of a cultural tourism product that gathers and transmits the cultural and historical elements of the legacy of the Borgias. • Specific objectives: - To value the cultural and historical heritage related to the Borgia’s family in different municipalities of the Gandia-Xàtiva axis - Analyze the supply and tourism resources of the municipalities of Gandia-Xàtiva axis: gastronomy, local products, accommodation, transportation alternatives, sustainable tourism, active tourism... 3 Página - Designing cultural tourist routes in the municipalities of Gandia- Xàtiva axis. - To propose options for communication and marketing of the defined product. 3. Itinerary Design By designing routes and itineraries, they are intended to create an offer based on the attractions and resources related to the presence of the Borgia Cultural Route of “Los Borgia” of Route Cultural family, capable of meeting the needs and expectations of visitors. The routes are included under the generic slogan "The footprint of the Borgias” (“La huella de los Borgia”). The main argument of these routes is more than the discovery of footprints and memory of one of the most influential families in Europe for centuries. It is the rediscovery of an important part of our cultural and vital imagination which is driven by the land of characters who brought the Renaissance in the Peninsula, created a thriving center of power in Gandia and Valencia, left an imprint in the same Rome and stars in this medieval to modern times. One step that left us castles, churches, palaces, which inspired legends, literature, theater and cinema. We follow the trail of the mains actors of the lineage Borgia to explore and discover their heritage in the towns of the Gandia-Xàtiva axis. We begin with the union of the two main branches of the family Borgia (Borgia and Gil de Borgia), during the wing of Calixto Alfonso III, and the birth of Rodrigo Borgia, the fruit of that union, and the relationship of this and their descendants with the populations studied, which are specified as follows taking the physical space of Xàtiva-Gandia axis: 4 Página Argument Population Alfonso de Borgia, Calixto III. Canals y Albaida. Rodrigo de Borgia, Alejandro VI. Xàtiva. Francisco de Borgia, San Francisco. Gandia y Llombai. We have designed a total of three proposals route to a day for visitors (with accommodation in Gandia) and four for visitors staying overnight in the area. For the design of these routes, it has developed a card that indicates the characteristics of the product, the segment that is addressed, the itinerary, the potential for product development resources, the activities undertaken by tourists and example of timing. Cultural Route of “Los Borgia” of Route Cultural PROPOSED ROUTES Here there are two proposed routes noon to find the best resources and the appropriate offer in relation with the Borgia family.

  • San Francisco De Borja and the Theme of Desengan~O in Four
    SAN FRANCISCO DE BORJA AND THE THEME OF DESENGANO IN FOUR SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SPANISH PLAIS Sx •• by Barbara Jean Bonomo Submitted as an Honors Paper in the Department of Romance Languages The University of North Carolina at Greensboro 1966 Approved by ^\1\>tK Director Examining Committee Table of Contents I. Desenganb II. Bibliographical Information III. Historical Sketch of the life of San Francisco de Borja IV. El Gran Duque de Gandia V. El Fenix de Espana, San Francisco de Bor.ja VI. San Francisco de Bor.ja, Gran Duoue de Gandia VII. Auto Sacramental El Gran Duoue de Gandfa VIII. Conclusion Bibliography Desenpjano or disillusionment with the world is a recurrent theme in seventeenth century Spanish literature. It appears in all genres: prose fiction, poetry, and drama. Preoccupation with the theme of desen.^ano represents a sincere concern—a reflection of deeply felt problems— rather than merely a literary affectation. In the drama of the seventeenth century this somber note becomes accen- tuated as the century progresses. In the writings of Pedro Calderon de la Barca and playwrights of his cycle the treatment of the theme of desengano is more frequent than in the works of earlier playwrights like Lone de Vega and his contemporaries. Desenfrafib is not contempt for the world; rather, it is disillusionment or disenchantment with the world. For the ascetic or the mystic, life on earth is a transitory state. It is a moment of testing and preparation for eternity. While on earth man can speculate with the talents entrusted to him; he can attempt to fulfill his nurpose in life.

  • Francisco De Borja Y Aragon
    BIBLIOTECA UNIVERSITARIA DI GENOVA – PERCORSI TEMATICI UNIVERSALITAS & PERVASIVITAS il costituirsi e diffondersi della S.J. e suoi echi (1540 - 1773) di A. Pisani Schede autori Atti costitutivi, ordinamenti, agiografie, etc. Francisco De Borja y Aragon Francis Borgia, born 28 October, 1510, was the son of Juan Borgia, third Duke of Gandia, and of Juana of Aragon; died 30 September, 1572. The future saint was unhappy in his ancestry. His grandfather, Juan Borgia, the second son of Alexander VI, was assassinated in Rome on 14 June, 1497, by an unknown hand, which his family always believed to be that of Cæsar Borgia. Rodrigo Borgia, elected pope in 1402 under the name of Alexander VI, had eight children. The eldest, Pedro Luis, had acquired in 1485 the hereditary Duchy of Gandia in the Kingdom of Valencia, which, at his death, passed to his brother Juan, who had married Maria Enriquez de Luna. Having been left a widow by the murder of her husband, Maria Enriquez withdrew to her duchy and devoted herself piously to the education of her two children, Juan and Isabel. After the marriage of her son in 1509, she followed the example of her daughter, who had entered the convent of Poor Clares in Gandia, and it was through these two women that sanctity entered the Borgia family, and in the House of Gandia was begun the work of reparation which Francis Borgia was to crown. Great-grandson of Alexander VI, on the paternal side, he was, on his mother's side, the great-grandson of the Catholic King Ferdinand of Aragon.

This may be in part attributed to the lack of firm documentary evidence regarding his activities there and to the small corpus of works that survive from his Italian period, many of which are furthermore controversial. The present study focuses on Domenicos’ Roman years and questions the traditional notion that he was a spiritual painter who served the principles of the Counter Reformation. To support such a view I have looked critically at the Counter Reformation, which I consider more as an amalgam of diverse and competitive institutions and less as an austere movement that strangled the freedom of artistic expression.

  • The Borja Family: Historiography, Legend and Literature
    CATALAN HISTORICAL REVIEW, 1: 63-79 (2008) Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.5 · ISSN: 2013-407X http://revistes.iec.cat/chr/ The Borja Family: Historiography, Legend and Literature Eulàlia Duran* Institut d’Estudis Catalans Abstract The Borja family from Valencia (the Italian spelling is ‘Borgia’) have been a constant source of fascination since the 15th century because of the unusual power they came to wield in Italy and Valencia thanks to the ecclesiastical career. They caused much ink to flow in the field of legend all over Europe — mainly in Italy but also in Germany, Great Britain, France and, of course, Valencia — and were ultimately accused of every vice. They also provided a major theme for litera- ture and films. Partly in reaction to this they became, mainly from the last third of the 19th century onwards, a subject for serious historiographical research based on archival documents. In recent years the fifth centenary of the pontificate of Alexander VI has triggered new research. I attempt here to give an overview and to offer explanations for the interest they have aroused. Key words: the Borja family, Borgia, 16th century, historiography, legend, literary theme The Borja1 family from Valencia are an unusual case: in The Family the 15th and 16th centuries they reached the highest eche- lons of ecclesiastical and political power in Italy and estab- The origins of the Borja family are obscure. They were lished a firm foothold in Valencia.

    Jesuits and New Christians The Contested Legacy of St. Ignatius THOMAS M. COHEN 42/3 • AUTUMN 2010 THE SEMINAR ON JESUIT SPIRITUALITY The Seminar is composed of a number of Jesuits appointed from their provinces in the United States. It concerns itself with topics pertaining to the spiritual doctrine and practice of Je suits, especially United States Jesuits, and communicates the results to the members of the provinces through its publication, STUDIE S IN THE SPIRITUALITY OF JE S UIT S . This is done in the spirit of Vatican II’s recommendation that religious institutes recapture the origi- nal inspiration of their founders and adapt it to the circumstances of modern times. The Seminar welcomes reactions or comments in regard to the material that it publishes. The Seminar focuses its direct attention on the life and work of the Jesuits of the United States. The issues treated may be common also to Jesuits of other regions, to other priests, religious, and laity, to both men and women. Hence, the journal, while meant es- pecially for American Jesuits, is not exclusively for them. Others who may find it helpful are cordially welcome to make use of it. CURRENT MEMBERS OF THE SEMINAR R. Bentley Anderson, S.J., teaches African and African American Studies at Fordham University, Bronx, N.Y.
