Fagnano Castello
Fagnano Castello is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy. Fagnano Castello is located on Mount Caloria, part of the Coastal mountain range of Calabria, about an hour north of Cosenza. The town's big annual festival is the Sagra Della Castagna (Festival of Chestnuts), celebrating the annual chestnut harvest around the last week of October with live music, free roasted chestnuts in the village square, and homemade desserts made out of chestnuts. Origins of the name The origin of the name Fagnano Castello is still a source of discussion and various hypotheses have been formulated around it. An interesting hypothesis was created by Vincenzo Padula, in his work ''Protogea''. He hypothesized that the etymology of Fagnano could be traced back to the Hebrew language and was correlated to the mountain morphology of its territory; for Padula, the "''agnano''" of ''Fagnano'' could be traced back to the Hebrew "''hanan''", fog, cloud.

Lake Fagnano
Fagnano Lake ( es, Lago Fagnano), also called ''Lake Cami'' (), is a lake located on the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, main island of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, and shared by Argentina and Chile. The 645 km2 lake runs east–west for about 98 kilometres, of which 72.5 km (606 km2) belong to the Argentine Tierra del Fuego Province (Argentina), Tierra del Fuego Province, and only 13.5 km (39 km2) belong to the Chilean Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region. It has a maximum depth of 449 meters. The southern bank is steep compared to the northern, and expands in a considerably wide and flat piedmont (geography), piedmont from which both levels of the plateaus can be appreciated. From its western end, the Azopardo River drains towards the Almirantazgo Fjord. On its eastern end is the town of Tolhuin. The lake is located in a pull-apart basin developed along the Magallanes–Fagnano Fault zone. According to a Selk'nam people, Selk'nam myth the lak ...

Giulio Carlo De' Toschi Di Fagnano
Giulio Carlo, Count Fagnano, Marquis de Toschi (26 September 1682 — 18 May 1766) was an Italian mathematician. He was probably the first to direct attention to the theory of elliptic integrals. Fagnano was born in Senigallia (at the time spelled "Sinigaglia"), and also died there. Life Giulio Fagnano was born to Francesco Fagnano and Camilla Bartolini in Senigallia (at the time spelled "Sinigaglia") in 1682. Fagnano had twelve children. One, Giovanni Fagnano, was also well-known as a mathematician. Another of Fagnano's children became a Benedictine nun. In 1721, Fagnano was made a count by Louis XV; in 1723, he was appointed ''gonfaloniere'' of Senigallia and elected to the Royal Society of London; in 1745 he was made a marquis of Sant' Onofrio. Mathematical work Fagnano made his higher studies at the Collegio Clementino in Rome, and there won great distinction — except in mathematics, to which his aversion was extreme. Only after his college course did he take up the stu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Giovanni Fagnano
Giovanni Francesco Fagnano dei Toschi (born 31 January 1715 in Senigallia, died 14 May 1797 in Senigallia) was an Italian churchman and mathematician, the son of Giulio Carlo de' Toschi di Fagnano, also a mathematician. Religious career Fagnano was ordained as a priest. In 1752 he became canon, and in 1755 he was appointed archdeacon of the cathedral of Senigallia. Mathematics Fagnano is known for Fagnano's problem, the problem of inscribing a minimum-perimeter triangle within an acute triangle. As Fagnano showed, the solution is the orthic triangle, whose vertices are the points where the altitudes of the original triangle cross its sides. Another property of the orthic triangle, also proven by Fagnano, is that its angle bisectors are the altitudes of the original triangle. Fagnano also partially solved the problem of finding the geometric median of sets of four points in the Euclidean plane; this is the point minimizing the sum of its distances to the four given points.
