  • A Portrait of Central Italy's Geology Through Giotto's
    1 A PORTRAIT OF CENTRAL ITALY’S GEOLOGY THROUGH GIOTTO’S PAINTINGS 2 AND ITS POSSIBLE CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS 3 4 Ann C. Pizzorusso 5 6 Independent Geologist,511 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10011 USA 7 8 Correspondence to: Ann C. Pizzorusso ([email protected]) 9 10 Abstract. Central Italy has some of the most complex geology in the world. In the midst 11 of this inscrutable territory, two people emerged--St. Francis and Giotto--they would 12 ultimately change the history of ecology, religion and art by extoling the landscapes and 13 geology of this region. 14 15 From Antiquity to the Middle Ages, man had a conflictual relationship with nature, seeing 16 it as representing either divine or satanic forces. On the vanguard of a change in 17 perspective toward the natural world was St. Francis of Assisi (c.1181-1226) who is now, 18 thanks to his pioneering work, patron of ecology. He set forth the revolutionary philosophy 19 that the Earth and all living creatures should be respected as creations of the Almighty. 20 21 St. Francis’ affinity for the environment influenced the artist Giotto (c.1270-1337) who 22 revolutionized art history by including natural elements in his religious works. By taking 23 sacred images away from Heaven and placing them in an earthly landscape, he 24 separated them definitively from their abstract, unapproachable representation in 25 Byzantine art. Giotto’s works are distinctive because they portray daily life as blessed, 26 thus demonstrating that the difference between the sacred and profane is minimal.

  • An Assisi of the Mind Steve Snider
    An Assisi of the Mind Steve Snider Rising steeply out of the endless miles of beautiful green and yellow pastures in the Umbrian valley of central Italy, about a hundred miles north of Rome, stands a stunning, tidal wave of mountain known as Monte Subasio. Perched on its northwestern foothill, sits the ancient town of Assisi. It was in this town, surrounded by fertile farmlands and olive orchards, where I first deeply encountered the hearts and minds of two extraordinary men of global significance: Giovanni di Pietro Bernardone, also known as Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) and Thomas Berry (1914-2009). I was a 22-year-old college student in the summer of 1991, about the same age as Giovanni (aka "Francesco") when he was captured and imprisoned seven centuries earlier during a battle with the neighboring town of Perugia. I was also about the same age as Thomas when he entered a Catholic monastery in 1934 to begin his lifelong journey of intense learning, contemplation and reflection about the state of the modern world. As a Study Abroad for the Earth (S.A.F.E.) participant, I was part of a small group of college students and adult learners who were lucky enough to travel to Assisi to study with Berry, a man considered by many as one of the greatest cultural historians, religious scholars, and ecological thinkers of the 20th century. The buildings of Assisi were constructed over many centuries out of the pinkish-white stones from the very mountain upon which they rest. These beautiful buildings stand in stark contrast against the sloping, green backdrop of the giant mountain behind them.

  • Walking Tour in Umbria - Assisi to Spoleto (7 Days / 6 Nights - $1650 Per Person Or $1990 Per Person with 'Dinner' Option)
    Walking Tour in Umbria - Assisi to Spoleto (7 days / 6 nights - $1650 per person or $1990 per person with 'Dinner' Option) Following paths that have linked the towns for centuries, this walking tour in Umbria takes you through the 'Vale of Umbria', the green heart of Italy, visiting each day some of the greatest works of the Italian Renaissance: including the Basilica of St Francis in Assisi ‘one of the greatest monuments of Italian art'; Pinturrichio's masterpiece, Gozzoli and Perugino's sumptuous frescoes in Montefalco and Filippo Lippi's superlative frescoes in the Spoleto cathedral. On the way you will visit an enchanting hill town, perched above the Vale of Umbria, a tranquil farming town with extraordinary Roman remains; another hill town famous for its red wine and rich artistic heritage, and Spoleto, one of the most interesting towns of central Italy which, for three weeks at the end of June and beginning of July, is the seat of Italy's most celebrated arts festivals. The walks This a great Grade 4 Walk. Although the walks follow good paths, generally unsealed country roads, there are a couple of sections where you will need to have a good sense of orientation. The walks range from 8 to 18 kilometres (3 to 6 hours). The first walk on Day 2 is probably the most challenging being 17 kilometres long and with a steep climb, however, the views on the top of Mt Subasio are worth the effort. The accommodation Hidden Italy uses the best accommodation available and the accommodation is one of the highlights of this walk: Day 1 is in a small 3-star family hotel off the main square in Assisi; Day 2 is a 4-star hotel in a restored palazzo; Day 3 is a 3-star hotel in a restored convent in the centre of the village; Day 4 is a 4-star hotel in a beautiful villa with a pool surrounded by parklands on the edge of the region's premier wine town; Day 5 in a small country lodge with a celebrated restaurants and Day 6 in a 4-restored palazzo in the shade of Spoleto's cathedral.

  • ASSISI – the Town of Peace
    Translation of a re-edited article in ”Nordens Stjerne” No. 1, January 2002 Assisi seen from the valley with the Sacro Convento and the Basilica of Saint Francis in the foreground ASSISI – the Town of Peace By Bente Wolf ”Blessed be you by God, my town! Because thanks to you many souls shall be saved, in you many servants of the most High shall live, and by you many shall be called to Heaven. Peace be with you!” The words above are St. Francis’ famous last greeting and blessing of Assisi, when dying he was carried to his deathbed in the small simple stone cottage at the tiny chapel dedicated to Mary, Porzi- uncola, in the valley below Assisi. From the autumn of 1999 to the autumn of 2001 I stayed in Assisi 7 times, in total 75 days, and I must say that I understand his greeting of and vision for the future of Assisi. Gradually, I have reached a deeper and deeper understanding of the amazing beauty of this small town in the green, flourishing mountains of Italy – both seen in relation to the world-wide Catholic Church and other Christian Churches, in relation to all other religions in the world and in relation to the inner work, to which I and many others have dedicated themselves in our time, when humanity seems to be more ready for the Second Coming of Christ and thus an amalgamation with the Kingdom of God. Assisi is the radiant, white-pink medieval town with well-preserved roots and buildings going back to the time of Antiquity.

    ST. CLARE AND ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI A TIME LINE Mary Wainscott, Ph.D., SFO January 2009 This time line is offered as a way to see many of the important aspects of Clare‟s life in chronological order with the addition of aspects of Francis‟ life right along with Clare‟s. Hopefully, this attempt to put events from both of their lives in this order will help the reader to see more clearly the lives of these two influential saints from Assisi. 1181 or 1182 Francis Bernadone is born in Assisi of the merchant, Pietro di Bernardone and his wife, Pica. 1193 or 1194 Clare di Favarone of the Offreducio family is born in Assisi. Clare‟s parents are of the wealthy class. Clare‟s mother‟ name was Ortulana. A witness at Clare‟s canonization process testified under oath that Ortulana, Clare‟s mother, was experiencing “apprehension” as the birth of her child drew near. “Ortulana frequently visited a nearby church, the witness states, and one day heard a response to her prayer for the safe delivery of her child. „O lady,‟ a voice told her, „do not be afraid, for you will joyfully bring forth a clear light that will illumine the world.‟ Within a short time, a female child was born to Ortulana and her husband Favarone, and was named Chiara or Clare, the clear or bright one.”2 Clare‟s biographer wrote of Clare: “„The Spirit worked within and formed her into a most pure vessel . so that she began to be praised by her neighbors .

  • CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Lesson 42 St. Francis of Assisi
    CHURCH HISTORY LITERACY Lesson 42 St. Francis of Assisi St. Francis – this name is known in both Catholic and Protestant circles. What about this Italian fellow who lived over 800 years ago for about 45 years has secured his place in church history for the ages? We seek to understand the answer to that question by reviewing highlights of his life, understanding what was important to him, and how he lived his calling before God. As we look at the life of St. Francis, there are a lot of resources available. In 1999, the Franciscan Institute of St. Bonaventure University published through New City Press a three volume series on St. Francis in English. The series has the first 150 years of writings on Francis, including those by Francis himself. Many of these writings are available for the first time in English in this series.1 THE LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS A number of people wrote what we might term “biographies”2 of St. Francis. These accounts give good basic information on certain events that we will discuss here. Francis was born in Assisi, an Italian town in Umbria, north of Rome around 1181 or 1182. Francis was one of several children born to Pietro (“Peter”) and Pica Bernadone. Peter, his father, was a wealthy cloth merchant. Francis was born while Peter was away in France on business. Pica named her son Giovanni (“John”) after John the Baptist, but Peter would have none of that! Once Peter got home, he changed his son’s name to Francis. This seems to foreshadow the conflict Peter would have with Francis over the way Francis chose to follow God’s calling later in life.

    “UMBRIA: The Green Heart of Italy” Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) “UMBRIA: The Green Heart of Italy” Chiara Morucci (June 10, 2013) The green heart of Italy was presented by Enit Director, Eugenio Magnani, Fabio Paparelli Regional Umbria Councilor, Valentino Valentini the Former Mayor of Montefalco and Chiara Dall’Aglio, Head of Umbria Territorial Marketing. On June 4, the Italian Government Tourist Board (ENIT) hosted an interesting presentation on the Italian Region of Umbria. The event was presented by the Director of ENIT, Eugenio Magnani who welcomed the guests, Fabio Paparelli Regional Umbria Councilor, Valentino Valentini the Former Mayor of Montefalco and Chiara Dall’Aglio, Head of Umbria Territorial Marketing. The Region is known as “the green heart of Italy,” because of its location in the centre of Italy and also because of the intense green color of its hills. Umbria is a region where all is art, from the natural beautiful landscapes to the handmade ceramics and the art of “slow-living” and “slow-food. Page 1 of 2 “UMBRIA: The Green Heart of Italy” Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) “Umbria is a bridge between the past and the future; it is a perfect combination of tradition and innovation. The landscape has remained unaltered by the centuries however the right innovations of a modern age have been taking place,” explained Paparelli.“Umbria is a wonderful region where you can try different experiences,” he continued. There are at least seven reasons to visit this territory. First, the art and the culture. The main town of Perugia and other towns such as Assisi, Deruta, Todi, Spoleto, Spello, Gubbio, Foligno, Orvieto and Terni, just to mention a few, are filled with architectural splendors and masterpieces of art, and often host international cultural events.

  • A Time Line St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi
    A TIME LINE ST. FRANCIS AND ST. CLARE OF ASSISI 1182 Born in 1182 to Pica and Pietro di Bernardone in Assisi, Italy. Pietro was a wealthy cloth merchant and Pica was from a wealthy French family. 1193 or 1194 Clare (Chiara) di Favarone of the Offreducio family is born in Assisi. Clare’s parents are of the wealthy class. Clare’s mother’ name was Ortulana and her father’s name was Favarone. 1199-1200 Francis “participates in the struggle between the maiores and minores of the city.” 1202 Francis joins the army and was taken prisoner following his involvement in the war against Perugia. Francis spent several months as a POW. Francis becomes very sick in prison with an unknown illness. 1205 Francis leaves Assisi to join the military campaign of the famous knight, Walter of Brienne. However, as he is on his way with the other young men, He hears a voice asking, “Is it better to serve the lord or the servant?” Francis turns around and returns to Assisi. 1205 Clare’s family returns to Assisi. Caught in the difficulties of the time resulting from the rise of the merchant class in Assisi, Clare’s family fled to Perugia when she was still a child, and returned to Assisi in 1205, when she was about twelve years old. That was the same year in which Francis of Assisi renounced his father and received official recognition of his life as a penitent. 1205 Francis experiences the invitation of Jesus on the San Damiano crucifix to “Rebuild his church.” 1206 Francis has a significant conversion experience by embracing a leper.

  • Discovering Umbria Discovering Umbria Terni — Marmore Falls
    Discovering Umbria Discovering Umbria Terni — Marmore Falls Discovering Umbria Umbria is the perfect destination where to spend your holidays. Nature and parks, cities rich in art and culture, outdoor sports, along with internationally famous events and its food and wine will make your stay unforgettable. Umbria is a land of balance, able to assemble a thousand facets and a thousand different souls into a single fresco, a blend of man and nature, intense spirituality and secular pride. Every location has a unique identity, the result of millennia of civilisation that have left dense layers of memory and timeless masterpieces throughout the land: Umbrian, Etruscan, Sabine and Roman first and the extraordinary period of the Middle Ages, and then the Renaissance. The rural ingeniousness patiently chiselled the environment, reclaiming land, tilling and planting olive groves and vineyards that not only produce prized oils and wines but have become the symbol of the region. Dotted with medieval towns and silent hermitages, the Umbrian hills offer fascinating sceneries. In Umbria you need only travel a few kilometres to discover places of unspoilt wilderness, with centuries-old beech woods, deep caves, and mountains popolate by ancient legends. And Umbria is also rich in water: it rises in springs and mountain lakes, runs in rivers that carve impressive rocky gorges, and broadens out into wetlands and man-made lakes that are magically transformed into nature reserves. Lake Trasimeno, the gentle flowing of the Tiber, and the leaping falls of the Cascata delle Marmore all seem to have been created intentionally to inspire poets and painters.
