Cathedral
A cathedral is a church that contains the '' cathedra'' () of a bishop, thus serving as the central church of a diocese, conference, or episcopate. Churches with the function of "cathedral" are usually specific to those Christian denominations with an episcopal hierarchy, such as the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and some Lutheran churches.New Standard Encyclopedia, 1998 by Standard Educational Corporation, Chicago, Illinois; page B-262c Church buildings embodying the functions of a cathedral first appeared in Italy, Gaul, Spain, and North Africa in the 4th century, but cathedrals did not become universal within the Western Catholic Church until the 12th century, by which time they had developed architectural forms, institutional structures, and legal identities distinct from parish churches, monastic churches, and episcopal residences. The cathedral is more important in the hierarchy than the church because it is from the cathedral that the bishop governs the area unde ...

Impavido Class Destroyer
The ''Impavido'' class were the second group of destroyers built for the Italian Navy after World War II and the first Italian guided missile destroyers. Similar in performance to the US Navy's , these ships were essentially improved vessels, with the after gun-turret being replaced by a Tartar surface-to-air-missile launcher and associated radar. Two ships were constructed in the 1960s in Italy, ''Impavido'' and ''Intrepido''. They were in active service until the ships were retired in 1991 and 1992 respectively. Design The ''Impavido '' class were the first guided missile destroyers of the Italian Navy. The vessels were commissioned in the early 1960s and were roughly equal to the American ''Charles F. Adams''-class destroyer. Both classes shared the Tartar missile system, with a Mk 13 launcher, and carried around 40 missiles. They had two fire control radars to guide their weaponry and all this was fitted in the aft of the ship. Both classes also had two single guns, but ...

Achille Compagnoni
Achille Compagnoni (26 September 1914 – 13 May 2009) was an Italian mountaineer and skier. Together with Lino Lacedelli on 31 July 1954 he was in the first party to reach the summit of K2. Biography Compagnoni was born in Santa Caterina di Valfurva, Sondrio, Lombardy. On the successful K2 expedition, Compagnoni's decision to place the final camp (IX) at a higher location than formerly agreed was a source of controversy. Compagnoni alleged that Walter Bonatti had used some of the oxygen supply intended for the summit, causing it to run out on summit day. Walter Bonatti disputed this, and was cleared in the Italian courts in 1964. Bonatti and Hunza climber, Amir Mehdi, climbed up to deliver oxygen to Compagnoni and Lacedeilli for their summit attempt. It was an epic climb with the weight of the oxygen bottles at that altitude and both men were exhausted. Bonatti and Mehdi arrived in failing light at a point on the "shoulder" at where the team had agreed to place camp IX. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Signore Delle Cime
Signore delle cime ("Lord of the Mountain Tops") is a popular Italian song of prayer. It was written by Bepi De Marzi in 1958, when he was 23 years old: he dedicated the song to his friend Bepi Bertagnoli who died in 1951 while climbing Mount Gramolon in the upper Valle del Chiampo. History The song became very popular and was translated into many languages. The song is performed every year at the festival of the '' Adunata Nazionale degli Alpini'', which since 1920 has usually been celebrated annually in mid-May. The simplicity of the song and its great emotional impact have ensured its inclusion in the repertoire of many polyphonic choirs, such as ''I Crodaioli'' of Arzignano, founded by de Marzi. The simple melody is accompanied by traditional harmonies and combined with a text that represents feeling, popular piety and Christian devotion. Text The song is composed in 2 strophes or verses: * in the first verse, de Marzi and the choir pray God to let Bepi Bertagnoli ent ...
