Campi, Norcia
Campi, also known as Campi di Norcia, is a ''frazione'' of the ''comune'' of Norcia in the province of Perugia, Umbria, Italy. The medieval village has a population of around 200 people. Many of its landmarks, including the Church of San Salvatore, were heavily damaged during the October 2016 Central Italy earthquakes. History The area around Campi was first settled in Sabine and Roman times. The Sabine and Roman town was located in the valley where the Church of San Salvatore was eventually built, and by the medieval period this area became known as ''Campi Vecchio'' (Old Campi). In the Middle Ages, a fortified settlement was established on the hill overlooking the Roman settlement, and this was known as ''Campi Nuovo'' (New Campi). Over time, the castle was abandoned and only the was left standing. In time, the names were reversed, with the medieval ''Campi Nuovo'' being renamed ''Campi Vecchio'' and vice versa. Modern Campi consists of ''Campi Nuovo'' in valley and ''Campi A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Frazione
A ''frazione'' (plural: ) is a type of subdivision of a ''comune'' (municipality) in Italy, often a small village or hamlet outside the main town. Most ''frazioni'' were created during the Fascist era (1922–1943) as a way to consolidate territorial subdivisions in the country. In the autonomous region of the Aosta Valley, a ''frazione'' is officially called an ''hameau'' in French. Description Typically the term ''frazioni'' applies to the villages surrounding the main town (''capoluogo'') of a ''comune''. Subdivision of a ''comune'' is optional; some ''comuni'' have no ''frazioni'', but others have several dozen. The ''comune'' usually has the same name of the ''capoluogo'', but not always, in which case it is called a ''comune sparso''. In practice, most ''frazioni'' are small villages or hamlets, occasionally just a clump of houses. Not every hamlet is classified as a ''frazione''; those that are not are often referred to as ''località'', for example, in the telephone boo ...

Church Of San Salvatore, Campi
San Salvatore ( it, Chiesa di San Salvatore), also known as the ''pieve di Santa Maria'', was a Roman Catholic church in Campi, a ''frazione'' in the ''comune'' of Norcia, Italy. Its existence is first documented in the 11th century, when it was a Benedictine church dedicated to Saint Mary. The church was rebuilt in the 14th century and enlarged in the late 15th century. In 1493, the church was rededicated to the Holy Saviour. The church was an example of Romanesque architecture, and its interior was richly decorated with frescoes. The building collapsed due to damage sustained in the October 2016 Central Italy earthquakes, and only part of the perimeter wall and a pile of rubble survived. History The Church of San Salvatore was built in the medieval period in a clearing along the via Nursina, a road which led from Spoleto to Norcia. It replaced an ancient Roman temple, which had been adapted as a church dedicated to Saint Mary upon the advent of Christianity. Some Roman remains ...

Syncline
In structural geology, a syncline is a fold with younger layers closer to the center of the structure, whereas an anticline is the inverse of a syncline. A synclinorium (plural synclinoriums or synclinoria) is a large syncline with superimposed smaller folds. Synclines are typically a downward fold (synform), termed a synformal syncline (i.e. a trough), but synclines that point upwards can be found when strata have been overturned and folded (an antiformal syncline). Characteristics On a geologic map, synclines are recognized as a sequence of rock layers, with the youngest at the fold's center or ''hinge'' and with a reverse sequence of the same rock layers on the opposite side of the hinge. If the fold pattern is circular or elongate, the structure is a basin. Folds typically form during crustal deformation as the result of compression that accompanies orogenic mountain building.

Ancient Rome
In modern historiography, ancient Rome refers to Roman civilisation from the founding of the city of Rome in the 8th century BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It encompasses the Roman Kingdom (753–509 BC), Roman Republic (509–27 BC) and Roman Empire (27 BC–476 AD) until the fall of the western empire. Ancient Rome began as an Italic settlement, traditionally dated to 753 BC, beside the River Tiber in the Italian Peninsula. The settlement grew into the city and polity of Rome, and came to control its neighbours through a combination of treaties and military strength. It eventually dominated the Italian Peninsula, assimilated the Greek culture of southern Italy ( Magna Grecia) and the Etruscan culture and acquired an Empire that took in much of Europe and the lands and peoples surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. It was among the largest empires in the ancient world, with an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants, roughly 20% of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sabines
The Sabines (; lat, Sabini; it, Sabini, all exonyms) were an Italic people who lived in the central Apennine Mountains of the ancient Italian Peninsula, also inhabiting Latium north of the Anio before the founding of Rome. The Sabines divided into two populations just after the founding of Rome, which is described by Roman legend. The division, however it came about, is not legendary. The population closer to Rome transplanted itself to the new city and united with the preexisting citizenry, beginning a new heritage that descended from the Sabines but was also Latinized. The second population remained a mountain tribal state, coming finally to war against Rome for its independence along with all the other Italic tribes. Afterwards, it became assimilated into the Roman Republic. Language There is little record of the Sabine language; however, there are some glosses by ancient commentators, and one or two inscriptions have been tentatively identified as Sabine. There are also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
October 2016 Central Italy Earthquakes
A series of major earthquakes struck Central Italy between the Marche and Umbria regions in October 2016.
