So says
then commenting
conguinta The city is a good network of roads to vehicular Ostuni and the Adriatic railway in Francavilla, in Grottaglie, Martina, and Cisternino in Bari, the woods converted into fertile vineyards ... "
then commends farmers Ceglie Noting that
it became the first township of this century, when Joachim Ungaro, Duke of Mount Jasi, lease granted to a lot of land at Castle to several families and Grottaglie Ceglie; and today has already hyenas 1878 inhabitants ...." And now the description of the castle
What is remarkable in the Land of (Ceglie old ed) is solt an to the ducal palace or castle. The collegiate church, which remains the highest point of the city, opposite the castle, no nothing in the art and is insufficient for the population. The old cathedral, destroyed in the early sixteenth century, was rebuilt in 1521 in time of Sanseverino, but was rebuilt and enlarged to the turn of the century (1796) and has a dome and awkward to squat brick colored. You want to portray that in a small scale the architecture of Gesù Nuovo in Naples, we believe e are instead has taken the only Baroque imbarocchendolo viemmargiormente!
The castle dominates the town and on one side of it, on the face that looks toward the dome, rises a square tower, massive, and crowned with battlements piombatoj, with a few small windows, dark and blackish in appearance and certainly the oldest of the ducal castle. On the front door of the latter reads the name of the founder in this entry:
OF Sanseverino FABRIZIO
1492
while on the door leading from the atrium of the castle in the great hall of the Council will read the names of successive Dukes of Ceglie that have enhanced or modified, in this inscription transcribed in its spelling:
FVNDITVS INDIXIT FABBRICARI TECTA JOHANNES
HEC TVM SIBI CLARIS OMBIBVS ATQVE Svisa
SIC QVOQVE PRECEPIT PRESTANS AVRELIA CONIVX
ILLVSTRES AMBO Sanseverino DOMVS 1525
The castle was then built in the early sixteenth century by John Sanseverino and his wife, Aurelia, whose name is repeated in different parts of the building, and even in the door that leads into the groundwater; (then there are the underground! ed) but the tower already existed and the gateway since the previous century, and reveal the best military, while the castle has all the appearance of a building magnate. The tower climb a spiral staircase to the upper floor where we observe the large dormitories dark, a massive walls, and from these one ascends to the terrace, crowned with battlements and square and surrounded by feritoje piombatoj. The panorama above is beautiful, and not without reason was chosen dagl'ingegneri printers in the triangulation of the province carried out in 1874.
now describe the panoramic view, this passage is interesting:
... three km from Ceglie, on the way to Cisternino Golf is said of Orlando, where digging the soil for crops are found are spears, halberds, helmets, armor, horse shoes, bronze bracelets, etc., all objects scattered in the hands of greedy speculators. More in the S. Paul, an ancient abbey and the center of old buildings no longer exist ...
continues to describe the Castle
derive from this, return to the palace to the outer staircase from the atrium to put in the boardroom. This is a large, rectangular, low tettoja, on which is painted the arms of Sixtus y Britto quartered with that of Lubrano, but it is bare, dingy walls and no furniture for the songs that epicedium Sanseverino nobles! Oh! If potessro about the walls of this room at least for a moment and bring us back to life two centuries ago!
continue this month in the transcription of the castle still talking ... then the "new village", the nineteenth century ... Ceglie
Trulli, Lamie, groves of olive trees, oaks and then the sea.
Ostuni the White City and Ceglie
the forgotten country.
The sea indeed ... the seas, the Adriatic and Ionian Seas ... Messapia
or Middle Earth.
The ideal p er live, work without
the frenetic yet
So what? What is this?
What's wrong?
Why do not we value our heritage?
was needed
or British to find our house?
