The Castle Svevo
The castle stands on a Cosenza motta (artificial hill built with
soil is coming from the excavation of the moat surrounding the
castle) rectangular placed on top of the hill Pancrazio, one of the
seven hills on which the city stands.
The embankment, artificial origin, was built around the sixth
century BC by Bretii or Brutii, people bellicose and warlike nature
allocated in those places (Metropolis of Bretii cited by Strabo)
from 600 BC onwards, paving and reshaping the top of the hill. The
Brutii seems to have cultivated some interest for Astronomy, as they
suggest the coins recovered in the necropoli of the zone, which that
one of Moio, on which stellar symbols and images of the lunar scythe
(Zumbini appear, 1990; Tawny, 1977).
The Brutii seems coltivassero some interest in astronomy, as
suggested coins found in the necropolis in the area, such as that of
Moio, on which symbols appear stellar sickle and images of the lunar
(Zumbini, 1990, Brown, 1977). The motta presumably remained intact
on the hill Pancrazio up to build the castle by the Normans, even if
the first explicit news of its existence is only a document of the
next century, dated 1239, and already Swabian period, when which is
to be renovated and occupied by Frederick II (Natella, Peduto,
1979).
Theatre A. Rendano
History
The municipal theatre dedicated to the pianist
Alfonso Rendano of Cosenza, was built by the Municipality, on the
design of Zumpano, from 1887-1909 and inaugurated on November 20th,
1909.
It was severely damaged from war in September 1943.
Reconstruction was secured through funding provided by law no. 1543
in October 26th, 1960. The municipal contributed its funds to the
execution of works of accommodation outside the restoration of the
facade according to the original neoclassical design, and stairway
construction in the gallery.
The design was entrusted to Enzo Gentile of Naples, who presented
the project on November 30th, 1960.
The work
was directed by the Office of Civil Engineers of Cosenza. The hall, corridors, the stage and services were completely
rebuilt by the state.
The "Royal Palace" Cosenza or many Palazzo Arnone, stands in rather
isolated position on the hill Triglio, which dominates the city,
which is the opposite; there initially reached by a road bridge came
from the Santa Maria, named by Old Santa Teresa. Palazzo Arnone has
been used over the centuries to many functions, from Royal Audience,
Palazzo Nobiliare, Prison; proper to them that the name of the hill
in the same Palace remains associated in 'expression of popular
cosentini. "Triglio" comes the greek "Trilio" or "Trilocus", which
means the three vertices of geographic position, perhaps caused by
earthquakes and probably based in remote age of a temple dedicated
to Oscan triad. Trilocus by three hillocks that era bruzia place was
consecrated to the gods "Essenzia" Italic peoples of race Oscan,
such as were bretti or bruzi. It is believed that the temple of the
divine Trilia triad consisted of Jano, Camasene and Minerva. At
least until the end of the seventies, the district Triglio, toponymy
dialect, not enjoyed good reputation of being associated with the
function of detention "Palace" in fact, was listed as "Supra Palazzu"
or "It is Colle Triglio" or " They climbed, all arguti euphemisms to
indicate that someone had been locked up in prisons judicial its
ground floor. In the square outside the palace, then called "Largo
Palace" was erected in 1799 not by chance, during the Republic
Partenopea, "the tree of liberty", a symbol of enthusiasm access
throughout Europe by the echoes of the French Revolution and
declaration of the rights of 'man and the citizen. In 1899, in
occasion of the centenary of the Republic Partenopea, the mayor of
the time, Alfonso Salfi was deliberate affixing of a commemorative
plaque, written by critic Bonaventure Zumbini, on the facade of the
Palace. Unfortunately, the deep was often the scene of riots popular
precisely because the building housed the jail and even those male
female (later moved to the nineteenth century. In San Augustine),
was a symbol of power and oppression and as such was often attacked,
as happened on July 14, 1647, while in Naples of the revolt raged
Masaniello who tried to establish a republic. (Antoinette Catalan)
The eighteenth
The most vital aspect of the painting in the eighteenth century. Is
undoubtedly Naples, the city where many artists were formed. The
reasons that drove things in Naples to that effect, in painting but
not least in architecture and sculpture lie in the choices made at
the end of the previous century, the culmination of the great
tradition of Neapolitan Baroque which had as its first protagonists
Luca Giordano and Francesco Solimena. Not only in Naples but
throughout Italy that the principle of the eighteenth no mention
that Luke Jordan, because his art form, along with that of Solimena,
one of the catalysts for art in the southern provinces between the
end , sec. Seventeenth and early eighteenth. Francesco Solimena is
the continuation of the Jordan and in his works always use an
architecture with large arches to provide space at the bottom and
steps in the foreground to precipitate composition him to viewers
will need a strong lighting, and the figures vary gestures.
Following the Solimena have Mossi artists like Francis De Mura,
Corrado Giaquinto and Paul De Matteis; active in Naples in the first
half of the eighteenth century. Many of these masterpieces artristi
were received in Calabria, where they are placed in the Pinacoteca
di Palazzo Arnone in Cosenza. The gallery hosts two paintings by
Stephen Liguoro (documented in 1697 and 1710), and represents the
first ' "Adoration of the Shepherds" dated around 1710 and the
second is' "Adoration of the Magi" more or less the same period.
Nothing is known about the, except in 1697 is attributed to Painters
Guild of Naples and student of Solimena.
It is part of the collection also beautiful painting depicting the
"SS. Dorothy Mary Magdalene and" signed and dated 1722 by the
painter Paul Piana Cilento De Matteis (Piana Cilento 1662-Naples
1728). The artist came to Naples where young entered the shop by
Luca Giordano playing his first apprenticeship. Its production in
Calabria is also certifies the work attributed to him depicting the
"Circumcision" of the church of Santa Maria D'Episcopio in Scalea,
either by painting depicting the Virgin appearing in San Brunone
"signed and dated 1721 and from Certosa di Serra San Bruno.
Part of the Gallery beautiful paintings made by Sebastiano Conca
(Gaeta 1680-including 1764), depicting the "Madonna and Child" and
"SS. Nicola and Philip Blacks" of 1741 approx. Sebastiano Conca is
formed in the workshop by Francesco Solimena, whom worked very
often. The works have been recognized as the sketches of the
so-called Pala Ruffo di San Lorenzo in Rome Panaso painted between
1741 and 1743 from the Conca.
Di Corrado Giaquinto (Molfetta 1703-Naples 1760) retain two
paintings depicting respectively the "Glory of St John of God" of
1742-46 and "Minerva presents Spain to Jupiter and Juno" of 1750
approx. Corrado Giaquinto is considered one of the most brilliant
interpreters of the eighteenth century Italian and European Rococo;
received the first pictorial education in Puglia and later in the
workshop of Solimena.
To complete the ranks of the followers of De Francesco Solimena is
Mura (Naples 1696 - including 1784), present in the gallery with
works depicting "Christ healing the blind" of 1768-70 approx.
Francesco De Mura undertaken apprenticeship painting at the workshop
of Dominic Viola, but soon went to Francesco Solimena, where he
became among the most significant of the eighteenth century
Neapolitan. The work is not artistic references in the literature,
but is attributable to the master on stylistic bases. (Antoinette
Catalan)
The family Arnone
The noble family Arnone was born in Rovito, one of the most
important houses of Cosenza, that between the XVI and XVII reached
its peak, as distinguished interesting cultural centre and
humanistic. In this environment is formed Bartolo Arnone, born
roughly in the last decades of the fifteenth and now under the
government viceroy, Quaestor of Cosenza in Calabria and Treasurer
Citra, inserting also among the most wealthy nobles of the city
bruzia. He was to start the construction of the magnificent palace
on the hill Triglio, dealing both the appearance and architectural
decorative than facilitating the decoration of tufa majestic portal.
The building, perhaps powered by Bartolo for adibirlo to his house,
became reality jail political headquarters of Royal Court and the
residence of the head of the Province. The phases of construction of
the building continued even after the death of Bartolo (1554), by
the younger brother Ascanio, known jurist and later Dean of the
province of Calabria Citra. At the government viceroy of Naples,
Arnone joined by 8,000 ducats, from the sale of real allocate the
Director Audience. It seems that the government first viceroy
honored contractual payments, but soon you forget the other, and
when requested payment Ascanio, was accused of false money and all
his property confiscated. In memory of the two brothers Arnone, is
still visible inside the palace an epigraph, and the second is kept
in the complex of St. Francis of Assisi in Cosenza, along with the
tomb of Bartolo Arnone. It was Ascanio to build the memorial to his
brother and he dedicated the plaque dated to 1554. Not lacking in
the inscriptions and in the tomb, the heraldic emblem of the house,
which is also visible in a chapel of the Church of St. Barbara in
Rovito, whose Arnone had the patronage. The heraldry of Arnone is
characterized by a central band that probably refers to Crawler
chivalrous, even if it is not known with certainty whether the
family had an old cavalierato; the blue band shows justice, fairness
and good reputation. Additional elements of the emblem is a
mountain, which symbolizes the feuds and possessions of the noble
and a star, indicating that "safe driving", a symbol of one who
aspires to sublime and actions at the same time great fame and
glorious nobility. (Monica Turkish)
Universita Della Calabria
The University of Calabria, situated in Southern Italy, is a public
institution initiated in 1972. Even though the idea of a university
in Calabria dates back to the fifties, almost twenty years elapsed
before the idea became a reality with a Parliament law in 1968. In
that year the university founding charter was granted, while its
statutes were passed in 1971. The construction of the university
campus started in 1972 and since then a continuous and visible
expansion of new buildings on the campus is taking place. Its
particular architecture is due to the co-operation between two
architects: the Italian Gregotti and the Danish Martensson.
Unical is a medium size university with about 35,000 students. The
university's annual budget is of more than 300 million Euro, and
land, buildings and equipment are worth far more than 600 million
Euro.
The University of Calabria has six Faculties (Arts, Economics,
Engineering, Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences, Pharmacy and
Political Sciences), twenty-seven degree courses and sixteen
university diploma courses. It is organized into 24 departments.
Teaching staff is composed by more than 900 units - including full
professors, assistant professors, lecturers and research assistants
- while the administrative staff amounts to more than 700 units.
This university is the only example of a residential university
campus in Italy. For what concerns the university campus, its
management and services, it is important to mention the “Centro
Residenziale”, which provides accommodation and leisure facilities
to students. In the residential area the Sports Centre, the Health
Centre, and the Centre for Arts, Music and Performance are also
located. Moreover there are a Centre for Radio and Television, the
University Press, the Language Centre and several other
interdepartmental centres.
One of the biggest and unique libraries in the whole of South Italy
has been built on the University campus and is accessible to
internal and external users. For details on the University libraries
please link to the following Web Site: www.biblioteche.unical.it.
Most of the departments in the University do research at national
level and in a number of sectors have achieved international
standards, as the existence of many post graduate doctorates proves.
Many researches are financially supported by organizations external
to the university and, indeed, Unical provides scientific backup for
many projects in the Calabria Region. Often these projects are
developed together with scientific collaborations of other
prestigious institutions both in Europe and in other foreign
countries.
As a matter of fact the University of Calabria is making great
efforts in promoting the development of the Region both at national
and international level. This line of action has been successfully
testified by a quite recent CENSIS1 survey, in which the university
has been ranked in the tenth place out of a scale of fifty Italian
Universities, actually above the average in nation-wide university
ratings.
