Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Rocca Paolina

Places to see in ( Perugia - Italy ) Rocca Paolina

La Rocca Paolina is a fortress of the city of Perugia. It was built between 1540 and 1543 at the behest of Pope Paul III and represented, until 1860 , the symbol of papal power over the ancient city. The building, designed by Alessandro Tomassoni from Terni and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger , was built on what were the houses of the Baglioni, following their revolt against the Pope, and occupied a large part of the southern side of Perugia. For its construction the materials of the ancient village of Santa Giuliana were used, completely demolished with relative churches and convents, while the houses, streets, towers and courtyards falling within the perimeter of the new building were incorporated and covered with mighty vaults, constituting the basement.

Partly destroyed in 1848 , rebuilt in 1860 at the behest of Pope Pius IX , the Rocca was finally demolished in the decades following the annexation to the Kingdom of Italy , offering space for the construction of many buildings and nineteenth-century accommodation (piazza Italia, via Masi, Carducci gardens, Viale Indipendenza).

With such vast urban upheavals, the ancient fortress (divided into three parts: the Papal Palace, the Corridore and the Tenaglia) remained only the basement of the Papal Palace. These were finally affected by work to remove the rubble in 1932 and concluded in 1965 , opening up to the public as an underground city of great charm and charm.

Finally, since 1983 , the fortress is crossed by the mechanized pedestrian path (escalators) that from the bus station, along the extramural bypass, reaches the Etruscan acropolis. Today its large and unique spaces are used, during the year, for different cultural events.

The fortress was divided into three parts: the Papal Palace, the Corridor and the Tenaglia facing the countryside. However, the architect had the sensibility to embed the ancient Etruscan architecture called Porta Marzia in the new brick walls, which still stands on the homonymous street. The construction of the Rocca Paolina involved the demolition of about three hundred houses (the entire village of S. Giuliana), the palaces of the Baglioni family-at the time dominating the city and leader of the revolt - of various towers and churches including the fifteenth century Santa Maria dei Servi that the testimonies of the time considered the most beautiful in the city.

The Rocca Paolina with its left bulk represented until 1861 (Unification of Italy) the symbol of papal power over the ancient free commune. With the Unit the Rocca was object of systematic demolition after a first phase already happened with the motions of 1848, protracted until the end of the century, which led to the cancellation of all three parts mentioned above. Only the sixteenth century Papal Palace was replaced with the current Palazzo della Provincia, with the neighboring palaces and gardens of the nineteenth-century settlements, resting on the ancient medieval structures - built at the beginning - which existed before the fortress. It remained buried and forgotten for several decades, in 1932 saw the start of emptying works, completed in 1965. Since 1983 the Rocca Paolina is crossed by a path of escalators that connect the base.

ACQUASPARTA Borgo Medioevale - Umbria - HD

© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
E' posta su di un colle a circa 350 m s.l.m. da cui domina la valle del Naia, affluente del Tevere.

E' al centro di un vasto territorio tra il variare delle colline e dei monti prospicienti, ricco di vegetazione e di sorgenti di acque curative e da tavola.

La ricchezza dal punto di vista idrico del suo territorio ne ha da sempre caratterizzato la vocazione termale, tanto che proprio per le sue acque già in epoca romana essa trasse il suo nome: ACQUAS PARTAS, ad indicare la sua posizione tra le sorgenti dell'Amerino e Furapane.

Conserva ancora l'aspetto di un centro medioevale con una suggestiva cinta muraria e una caratteristica Porta Vecchia che nei secoli passati consentiva l'accesso al paese.

Tutt'oggi si può ammirare la piazza restaurata davanti al Palazzo Cesi Il Palazzo Cesi risale alla seconda metà del XVI secolo e all'interno sono conservate iscrizioni romane derivanti dalle rovine di Carsulae. Galileo fu in questo palazzo ospitato dal duca Federico Cesi.
la bellezza del paesaggio, la ricchezza di acque, il clima felice, le memorie storiche ed i monumenti artistici fanno di Acquasparta un luogo di soggiorno ideale.

MONTELEONE D'ORVIETO Borgo Medioevale - HD

© CLAUDIO MORTINI™◊
Monteleone di Orvieto è un antico borgo medioevale posto all’estremo nord della provincia di Terni, arroccato su uno dei colli che separano l’Orvietano da Città della Pieve, da cui si possono ammirare le colline e i monti toscani e laziali e la Valle del Chiani; fu per questa sua posizione strategica che Orvieto, intorno al 1050, decise di insediarvi un castello a guardia dei suoi confini settentrionali.
Dell’originario Castello, saccheggiato e distrutto dai fiorentini nel 1643, oggi rimangono da ammirare la porta di accesso, alla base della Torre mozza, il Torrione con le sue mura di difesa, in Teatro comunale dei “Rustici”, piccolo gioiello architettonico, ricavato nel 1732 da un palazzo medioevale, i vicoli caratteristici, il pozzo medievale, ed altre costruzioni situate nella piazza principale del paese, tutti collocati all'interno del vecchio borgo. Sono inoltre da vedere: la Torre Civica (1890), la Chiesa del SS. Crocifisso (1637), con all’interno un bellissimo altare barocco e la Chiesa dei SS. Apostoli Pietro e Paolo che ha al suo interno un affresco raffigurante una “Madonna con bambino con ai lati i Santi Pietro e Paolo”, una Pietà della scuola di Pietro Vannucci, detto il Perugino, (fine XV secolo) e una Cripta con i resti di San Teodoro Martire.
Monteleone vanta anche altri illustri natali fra i quali: Consiglio Dardalini, mastro vetraio, che nel 1321 fu incaricato da Lorenzo Maitani di provvedere alle necessità di vetri e materiali musivi per l’Opera del Duomo di Orvieto e Piero Bilancini, poeta e scrittore vissuto nell’800 che seguì le orme del Carducci.
