Arborea
Arborea is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Oristano, Sardinia, Italy, whose economy is largely based on agriculture and cattle breeding with production of vegetables, rice, fruit and milk (notably the local milk product Arborea). History Arborea was built by the fascist government of Italy in the 1920s, after the draining of the marshes which covered the area. The village was populated by families, mostly composed of peasants, who came from the regions of Veneto and Friuli in north-eastern Italy. Name Arborea is named for and lies within the medieval Giudicato of Arborea, which had its capital, at various periods, in nearby Tharros and Oristano.

Less than two years later, the name was revised to ''Mussolinia di Sardegna'' ("''Mussolinia of Sardinia''", to distinguish the town ...

Pontifical Theological Faculty Of Sardinia
A pontifical ( la, pontificale) is a Christian liturgical book containing the liturgies that only a bishop may perform. Among the liturgies are those of the ordinal for the ordination and consecration of deacons, priests, and bishops to Holy Orders. While the ''Roman Pontifical'' and closely related '' Ceremonial of Bishops'' of the Roman Rite are the most common, pontificals exist in other liturgical traditions. History Pontificals in Latin Christianity first developed from sacramentaries by the 8th century. Besides containing the texts of exclusively episcopal liturgies such as the Pontifical High Mass, liturgies that other clergymen could celebrate were also present. The contents varied throughout the Middle Ages, but eventually a pontifical only contained those liturgies a bishop could perform. The ''Pontificale Egberti'', a pontifical that once belonged to and was perhaps authored by Ecgbert of York, is regarded as one of the most notable early pontificals and may be th ...

Dedication Of The Basilica Of St Mary Major
The Dedication of the Basilica of St Mary Major (''In Dedicatione basilicae S. Mariae'') is a feast day in the General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church, optionally celebrated annually on 5 August with the rank of memorial.

The reference to the legend was removed in the 1969 revision of the General Roman Calendar.''Calendarium Romanum'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1969), p. 133 History Pope Pius V inserted this feast into the General Roman Calendar in 1568,Calendarium Romanum (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 1969), p. 99 when, in response to the request of the Council of Trent, he reformed the Roman Breviary.
