From Safin to Roman: Cultural Change and Hybridization in Central Adriatic Italy

The Central Adriatic Apennines (roughly modern Abruzzo) was occupied in antiquity by Italic populations variously termed ‘Sabelli’, ‘Sabellics’ or ‘Sabellians’. The region in general has received little scholarly attention internationally compared with Tyrrhenian Italy, although the last three decades have been very rich in excavations and finds.

  • Publisher: MDPI

This Special Issue outlines the role of geoheritage and geotourism as potential touristic resources of a region. The term “geoheritage” refers to a particular type of natural resources represented by sites of special geological significance, rarity or beauty that are representative of a region and of its geological history, events, and processes. These sites are also known as “geosites” and, as well as archaeological, architectonic, and historical sites, can be considered as part of the cultural estate of a country. “Geotourism” is an emerging type of sustainable tourism, which concentrates on geosites, focusing on visitor knowledge, environmental education, and amusement.

A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...

Ss. Vincenzo E Anastasio at Tre Fontane Near Rome

The long and fascinating history of the abbey of SS. Vincenzo e Anastasio at Tre Fontane Near Rome reached back into roman antiquity. An ancient martyrium marked the spot where the apostle Paul was believed to have been beheaded and three fountains said to have sprung up as his head hit the ground were places of pilgrimage and monastic habitation. Around 1140 Pope Innocent II invited Bernard of Clairvaux to establish a Cistercian monastery on the site. Its first abbot later became pope as Eugene III, for whom Bernard wrote his Five Books on Consideration advising him how a pope much involved in business could, and must, maintain a contemplative life. Today, following nineteenth-century suppression and refoundation, it is once again a Cistercian abbey. Working with architectural, archaeological, epigraphic and documentary evidence Joan Barclay Lloyd traces the vicissitudes of this historic monastery. As she untangles pious tradition from historical fact she also decodes the architectural influences of Rome and Burgundy, and traces the alterations wrought over centuries of habitation.

Iron Making During the Migration Period

This work explores the contribution of the peoples of the Barbaricum to the shaping of early medieval technology in Europe, with a particular reference to iron-making. Within this general cultural framework, the case of Lombards is analyzed in more detail, tracing the way their iron-making technological heritage developed: first, during their settlement on the Lower Elbe (first centuries AD) characterized by a Western Germanic technical culture, then, in Central Europe (AD 3rd/4th-6th), where they came into contact with a Celtic and provincial Roman substratum, and finally in Italy (second half of AD 6th to 8th). At this stage, Lombard craftsmen, who possessed the full range of technical-artisanal skills of iron-production that were integral to western Germanic culture, would have come into contact with practitioners embodying the technical knowledge of the Mediterranean heritage. This encountering of material cultures seems to have resulted in reshaping of the entire economic structure of the peninsula.
