Places to see in ( Ercolano - Italy )
Ercolano is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples, Campania of Southern Italy. It lies at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, on the Bay of Naples, just southeast of the city of Naples. The medieval town of Resina - read Resìna - was built on the volcanic material left by the eruption of Vesuvius (79 CE) that destroyed the ancient city of Herculaneum, from which the present name is derived. Ercolano is a resort and the starting point for excursions to the excavations of Herculaneum and for the ascent of Vesuvius by bus. The town also manufactures leather goods, buttons, glass, and the wine known as Lacryma Christi (Tears of Christ).
According to legend, Herculaneum was founded by Hercules, who was returning from one of his Twelve Labours. Historically, it was most likely founded by the Oscans, an Italic tribe of the 8th century BC, and later became part of both the Etruscan and Samnite dominions. Under the control of the Romans, the city was a renowned seaside resort where some of the richest Roman citizens spent their summer vacations. It was built according to the standard model of Hippodamus of Miletus with a grid of crossing Decumans and Cardos.
After the eruption of AD 79 the area was slowly re-populated and in AD 121 the old coast road from Naples to Nocera was probably in place. In the Basilica di Santa Maria a Pugliano are two early Christian marble sarcophagi from the 2nd and 4th centuries AD which give evidence of habitation on the site of the buried Herculaneum.
In 1418 Queen Joanna II of Naples conceded the Università (villages with local governments) of Torre del Greco, Resina, Portici and Cremano to her favourite Sergianni Caracciolo and later to Antonio Carafa. Since then, these villages belonged to the Carafa family and passed from hand to hand following the historical events of the family and the Kingdom and Vice Kingdom of Naples.
In 1709 Emmanuel Maurice, Duke of Elbeuf, while constructing his residence on the coast of Portici, heard of a man who had discovered ancient marbles and columns while digging a well in the nearby town of Resina. The duke bought his farm and started digging wells and galleries underground and excavated statues, columns and marbles that he used for his Portici residence, also giving them as precious gifts to his friends, relatives and monarchs around Europe.
The Archeological site of Herculaneum (in Italian: Scavi di Ercolano) is the area south of the town centre of modern Ercolano where the Roman town of Herculaneum has been excavated. The Basilica Pontificia of Santa Maria a Pugliano, in Piazza Pugliano, is the main church of Ercolano and the oldest in town and the area all around Mt. Vesuvius.
The Miglio d’Oro is the leg of Corso Resina ( the old Strada Regia per le Calabrie) in Ercolano from the Archeological Site of Herculaneum leading to Torre del Greco where are lined the largest, the finest and the most sumptuous villas designed by the best architects of that time and built in the 18th century by the noble families of the Kingdom of Naples around the Royal Palace of Portici. Villa Campolieto was built in 1755 and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli the architect of the Royal Palace of Caserta who enriched the original project of Mario Gioffredo.
Villa Favorita, also known as Real Villa della Favorita, was designed by architect Ferdinando Fuga in 1762 for the Principe di Jaci e di Campofiorito who bought and restored a pre-existent smaller building. Villa Aprile also known as Villa Riario Sforza after the first owner who built it in the second half of the 18th century. Other interesting and nice villas of the 18th century are: Villa Ruggiero, owned by Fondazione Ente per le Ville Vesuviane, Villa Durante, Villa Granito di Belmonte, Villa Signorini and the Town Hall although the last three are not lined on the Miglio d’Oro.

The loveliest hotel in Palermo
Filmed 26-29 August 2016
TROINA - Alleys of History - Sicily HD Aerial
Positioned between the mountains of the Nebrodi natural park in the center of Sicily, between lush hills and the tip of the Etna volcano that dominates the landscape in the distance. A breath taking show in the hot summers and the fresh shiny winters.
Inhabited by the Giants, the Laestrygonians, by the Sicani and the Sicilians, conquered by the Greeks and by the Saracens and finally liberated by the Normans. His origin is fascinating as a fairy tale. In 1061 Troin was elected as capital of the norman principality Ruggero the 1st.
Muslims and Christians we have been able to live together here in peace and tolerance for many years.
Of its past remain the walls that surrounded the city and neighborhoods with a strong Arab influence, as Scalforio (from the Arabic: out of the walls).
Outside of the city center is the monastery of San Michele Nuovo, built during the presence of the Brazilian order of monks and yet full of charm and majestic though his rotten structure.
In 1943 during the Second World War Troina was the battle field between the US soldiers and a group of Germans entrenched in the town. The population had more than 100 dead and much of the town was reduced to rubble as shown in the photos of Robert Capa, internationally recognized as a proof of that violence. A copy of his photos can be seen in the museum Torre Capitania, which preserves also dress replicas of the norman period.
On the mountains near the village is it still possible to see the marks of the bombing and the protection shelters built up by the inhabitants.
Troina has to be enjoyed strolling through its narrow alleys, looking at the various late Baroque palaces from the 1500-1600.
Is it worth it to make a stop in the nearby dam of “Ancipa, between the green hills of Sicily.
Do not miss the Festival of “Vastedda where you can enjoy the typical Vastedda co Sammucu, a flat bread (focaccia) stuffed with cheese (Tuma) and a typical sausage of the Nebrodi area, flavored with elderflower. The festival is held in mid-June, a time when there is plenty of elder, and white flowers are very fragrant being the essential element for the good success of this dish.
Try also the nfasciateddi cookie baked in small pieces, consisting of a flour dough stuffed with cooked figs wine and sprinkled with chopped almonds. A real pleasure.

Mileto e le sue Chiese in 4k: Cattolica, SS Trinità dell'antica Badia e Cattedrale
Nel centro storico di Mileto troviamo il Santuario Maria SS. della Cattolica nelle vicinanze della Cattedrale del paese.
La costruzione del primo edificio risale al 1785 intitolato alla Maria SS. della Cattolica, nel 1929 la Confraternita di Maria SS. della Cattolica fece costruire la torre campanaria esterna. Nel 1998 la chiesa venne elevata a Santuario diocesano.
L'abbazia della Santissima Trinità (fino al XII secolo conosciuta come abbazia di San Michele Arcangelo) di Mileto fu un'abbazia benedettina esistita tra il 1070 e il 1783.
Fondata da Ruggero I di Sicilia nel 1081. Nel 1659 l'abbazia fu colpita dal primo dei sismi che doveva poi distruggerla completamente. Il terremoto provocò il crollo sia della chiesa che del monastero, i cui materiali e beni vennero poi saccheggiati.Il terremoto del 1783 segnò la totale distruzione della SS. Trinità.
L'antica cattedrale di Mileto, nella quale si fondevano l'architettura normanna con la cultura bizantina e musulmana, andò distrutta nel terremoto del 1783 che rase al suolo l'intera Mileto. La costruzione di una nuova cattedrale si protrasse per oltre 30 anni. La chiesa era a croce latina, con cupola, era arricchita di marmi pregiati di gusto barocco e raccoglieva le opere più importanti provenienti dall'antica cattedrale. I successivi terremoti del 1905 e del 1908 distrussero anche l'edificio ottocentesco. La nuova ed attuale chiesa è stata edificata sulle spoglie del precedente edificio, su progetto dell'architetto Faustino Roncoroni ed è stata consacrata il 25 ottobre 1930. Nel 2016 è stata elevata al rango di basilica minore.
