Sorbolongo
Sorbolongo is a town consisting of about 460 inhabitants in the municipality of Sant'Ippolito in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, Italy. It is almost completely made up of a castle that still maintains its original medieval structure. Sorbolongo castle is located on the hills between the Metauro and Cesano river valleys, located on the road that connects the capital Sant'Ippolito to the neighboring municipality of Barchi. The name of the castle probably derives from the presence of a rowan particularly high on the hill where the village now stands. This view is supported by the emblem that stands above the entrance gate of the church of the village. The castle was under the jurisdiction of the lords of Fano until the time of Napoleon I.* Notable people * Ignatius of Jesus (born Carlo Leonelli) – Discalced Carmelite missionary (1596-1667) * Innocenzo Leonelli – Soldier and hermit (died 1625) * Mutatesia Leonelli – Treasurer of the Pontifical Chambers (died 1662) * Gi ...

Discalced Carmelite
The Discalced Carmelites, known officially as the Order of the Discalced Carmelites of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel ( la, Ordo Fratrum Carmelitarum Discalceatorum Beatae Mariae Virginis de Monte Carmelo) or the Order of Discalced Carmelites ( la, Ordo Carmelitarum Discalceatorum, links=no; abbrev.: OCD), is a Catholic mendicant order with roots in the eremitic tradition of the Desert Fathers and Mothers.

Governor Of Turin
A governor is an administrative leader and head of a polity or political region, ranking under the head of state and in some cases, such as governors-general, as the head of state's official representative. Depending on the type of political region or polity, a ''governor'' may be either appointed or elected, and the governor's powers can vary significantly, depending on the public laws in place locally. The adjective pertaining to a governor is gubernatorial, from the Latin root ''gubernare''. Ancient empires Pre-Roman empires Though the legal and administrative framework of provinces, each administrated by a governor, was created by the Romans, the term ''governor'' has been a convenient term for historians to describe similar systems in antiquity. Indeed, many regions of the pre-Roman antiquity were ultimately replaced by Roman 'standardized' provincial governments after their conquest by Rome.

Hermit
A hermit, also known as an eremite (adjectival form: hermitic or eremitic) or solitary, is a person who lives in seclusion. Eremitism plays a role in a variety of religions. Description In Christianity, the term was originally applied to a Christian who lives the eremitic life out of a religious conviction, namely the Desert Theology of the Old Testament (i.e., the 40 years wandering in the desert that was meant to bring about a change of heart). In the Christian tradition the eremitic life is an early form of monastic living that preceded the monastic life in the cenobium. In chapter 1, the Rule of St Benedict lists hermits among four kinds of monks. In the Roman Catholic Church, in addition to hermits who are members of religious institutes, the Canon law (canon 603) recognizes also diocesan hermits under the direction of their bishop as members of the consecrated life. The same is true in many parts of the Anglican Communion, including the Episcopal Church in the Un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
