Places to see in ( Modica - Italy )

Modica 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 a so wide political, economical and cultural influence as it has been counted among the most powerful feuds of the Mezzogiorno.

Today Modica is well-known for its rich repertoire of culinary specialities, especially the typical chocolate inspired by an aztec recipe, and for its historical centre. 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.

According to Thucydides, the city was founded in 1360 BC or 1031 BC and was inhabited by the Sicels in the 7th century BC. It was probably a dependency of Syracuse. Modica was occupied by the Romans after the battle of the Egadi islands against the Carthaginians in the Punic Wars 241 BC, together with Syracuse and all of Sicily. Modica became one of the thirty-five decuman (spontaneously submitted) cities of the island and was oppressed by the praetor Verres.

Modica consists of two urban centres, Modica Alta (Upper Modica) and Modica Bassa (Lower Modica). The older upper part is perched on the rocky top of the southern Ibeli hill, the lower part is built on the lower slopes and valley below. The walk down from Modica Alta to Modica Bassa reveals vistas of the lower town and involves many steps; not many attempt the reverse journey on foot.
During the last century the city has extended and developed new suburbs which include Sacro Cuore (or Sorda), Monserrato, Idria, these are often referred to as Modern Modica; both old and modern quarters of the city are today joined by one of Europe's higher bridge, the Guerrieri bridge, 300 metres (980 ft) long.

Despite being ravaged by earthquakes in 1613 and 1693, and floods in 1833 and 1902, Modica has retained some of the most beautiful architecture in Sicily. Much of the city was rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake with imposing and conspicuous urban monuments in the Sicilian Baroque style. The large Baroque Cathedral San Giorgio is dedicated to St George. While the cathedral was rebuilt following the earthquake of 1693, like many other parts of the city its roots are in the Middle Ages. From the front of the Cathedral a staircase of 300 steps leads down towards Modica Bassa.

Another notable church is San Pietro, dedicated to St Peter, in Modica Bassa, featuring a principal façade crowned by a typical Sicilian Baroque belltower, 49 metres (161 ft) high.

Other sights include:

Castello dei Conti (Castle)
Chiesa del Carmine
Church of St. Mary of Betlehem
Garibaldi Theater
Mercedari Palace -contains a museum and library

The economy of the area once principally agricultural producing olives, carobs, legumes, cereals, and cattle; an extraordinary and unique product is the famous chocolate of Modica, produced with an ancient and original Aztec recipe. The city has now been joined by factories producing textiles, furniture and cars. Tourism is also an important industry to the area, since Modica entered the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002.

The eighteenth century saw Modica in the role of art and culture town, counting philosophers (Tommaso Campailla), poets (Girolama Grimaldi Lorefice), a school of medicine (Campailla, Gaspare Cannata, Michele Gallo, the Polara family) and literary academies among its inhabitants. In the nineteenth century, feudalism was abolished and Modica became a bourgeois town peopled by notables such as the writer and anthropologist Serafino Amabile Guastella, the agronomist Clemente Grimaldi, the musician Pietro Floridia and many painters, historians and other intellectuals. Modica was also the birthplace of writer Salvatore Quasimodo, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1959.

Florencia Y La Toscana - Historia Y Arte - documental completo en Espanol

Una región que desde siempre ha estado al centro de la historia italiana
La historia de la Toscana abarca un larguísimo período de tiempo, que va desde la prehistoria a nuestros días, siendo crucial el período a partir del Medioevo, por el nacimiento de la lengua italiana. Empieza en el siglo VIII a.C.: con los Etruscos, vencidos después por el Imperio Romano. Después de la caída del Imperio Romano la región pasó a ser dominada por los ostrogodos y los bizantinos, antes de ser objeto de la conquista por parte de los Longobardos (569), que la erigieron a ducado con sede en Lucca (Ducado de Tuscia). En el siglo XI Pisa se convirtió en la ciudad más potente de la Toscana, con la extensión de dominio de República Marinera a casi toda la Toscana tirrenica (del Mar Tirreno). Alrededor del siglo XII empieza el período de los Ayuntamientos libres, y Lucca se convierte en el primer comune (ciudad importante) de Italia. Nacen las primeras formas de democracia participativa y las primeras asociaciones de artes y oficios, que hicieron de la Toscana un irrepetibile ejemplo de autonomía cultural, social y económica. Entre las ciudades de la región se destaca enseguida, por motivos culturales, sociales y económicos, el Comune-Signoria de Firenze. Entre los años 300 y 400, gracias a la gran cantidad de literatos ilustres y artistas, la Toscana, y en manera especial la ciudad de Firenze dieron un grande contributo al Renacimiento Italiano.

A partir del siglo XII también la Toscana se fragmentó en una numerosa cantidad de estados entre los cuales la República de Firenze y la República de Siena eran los más importantes. Durante el siglo XV subió al poder la familia Medici que, como las mayores familias florentinas, se había enriquecido gracias a los bancos y había obtenido relevancia política en las instituciones republicanas a partir de la mitad del 1400. A partir de Lorenzo il Magnifico, el poder mediceo se consolidó y Cosimo de' Medici obtuvo el título de Duca de la Toscana primero, y más tarde, en el 1569, el de Granduca de Toscana. La familia Medici continuó a reinar en toda la Toscana ininterrumpidamente hasta el 1737. El Granducado de la Toscana, pasó a la família de los Lorena. La innvovación más importante de los Lorena, bajo el Granduca Pietro Leopoldo, fue la abolición de la pena de muerte, que en aquella época fue una innovación de vital importancia. La única interrupción durante la soberanía de los Lorena fue la paréntesis napoleónica que duró hasta el 1814. El último Granduca de la Toscana fue Leopoldo II que reinó hasta la entrada del territorio en el naciente estado unitario italiano.
El período lorenense (de los Lorena) fue para la Toscana un período iluminado, a partir del gobierno de Pietro Leopoldo (que reformó el ordenamiento judiciario), hasta el último granduca que obtuvo resultados muy positivos, con la construcción de los primeros ferrocarriles, la creación del catastro y la mejora de la Maremma (zona costera de la Toscana). El pasaje al Estado Unitario Italiano fue fruto de un plebiscito, promovido por el Gobierno Provisorio de la Toscana que decretó la anexión al Reino de Sardegna y como consecuencia al naciente Reino de Italia. En espera del traslado de la capital a Roma, lo cual sucedió en el 1870, Firenze hospedó el gobierno de la nación durante cinco años, convirtiéndose en el centro, no sólo de la cultura, sino además de la política italiana. La historia de la Toscana se identifica, a partir de este momento con la del Estado Italiano, del cual forma parte, a pesar de conservar una especificidad que la distingue de las otras regiones.
