After taking part in the Crusades against the Albigensians he used his inheritance to free Christian prisoners held by the Moors He later founded the Order of Our Lady of Mercy (Mercedarians) beginning in 1218 devoted to ransoming Christians John the Apostle was taken to Rome under the Emperor Domitian and plunged into a cauldron of boiling oil; by a striking miracle he came out safe and sound from this torture This disposition to forgive did not die with St but has continued to be one of the most characteristic virtues of the saint Benedict as related in the Dialogues of St that he was continuously and severely persecuted by a delinquent priest who lived in the neighborhood of the monastery in order to protect the virtue and the vocations of his disciples Benedict decided to abandon the site of his monastery and move to another location He and his monks had hardly left their monastery when word was brought that the persecutor had died suddenly Contrary to the expectation of the messenger who brought the news Benedict broke out in loud lamentations that his enemy had died suddenly and had not had an opportunity to repent The saints see so much more clearly than we the relative unimportance of the hardships and injustices we suffer in this world and the importance before all else of the sinner's being converted and repenting of his sins How long and how persistently we harbor grudges in our hearts against those who have offended us How difficult we find it to forgive freely and from our hearts Yet we proclaim ourselves to be Christians and to practice all the Christian virtues Do we forget that our Lord told us that if we expect our prayers to be heard and our sacrifices to be pleasing in the sight of God and go first and make peace with our brother Nor is the disposition to forgive our enemies peculiar only to the saints and martyrs of the ancient Church; nor should we expect it to be and if His disciples were commanded to forgive their enemies in His day Father Pro was executed in Mexico some years ago he was asked by his executioner if he had anything he wished to do or anything he wished to say before the sentence was executed Father Pro said that there was; he wished to be given an opportunity to pray for his executioners and to give them his blessing before he died During the persecutions in Spain during the late civil war one of the religious who was to be put to death by the communists was led to his death with his hands bound asked to be allowed to give his blessing to the members of the firing squad It is said that the officer in charge of the guard untied his hands and then swiftly struck off the hands of the priest with his sword raised his right arm and traced the sign of the cross over the heads of his murderers This is the true sign of the authentic martyr the characteristic mark of the true saint of the Church Who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the tree" (Epistle) The redemption of man as accomplished by Christ might have been accomplished in other ways but none of them would have been as perfect as the way Christ chose God might have forgiven man outright without requiring any satisfaction for sin This would have been a splendid manifestation of the infinite mercy of God but it would have ignored His infinite justice God might have refused redemption and forgiveness altogether and this would have been in complete conformity with His justice but it would not have satisfied His infinite mercy Perfect redemption required that both God's mercy and justice be satisfied Any act of satisfaction on his part would only have been of limited and finite value An act of reparation offered by a divine person would have been adequate since it would not have been offered by the offending party The only possibility of a perfect redemption was for the divine person to become incarnate could perform acts of infinite value; since he was a human being He could act in the name of the human race and offer an act of reparation which would be both adequate and authentic But the martyrdom of the latter Apostle called for a scene worthy of the event was not a sufficiently glorious land for such a combat whither Peter had transferred his Chair and where he died on his cross and where Paul had bowed down his venerable head beneath the sword alone deserved the honor of seeing the beloved disciple march on to martyrdom with that dignity and sweetness which are the characteristics of this veteran of the Apostolic College In the year 95 John appeared before the tribunal of pagan Rome the worship of a Jew who had been crucified under Pontius Pilate He was considered a superstitious and rebellious old man and it was time to rid Asia of his presence sentenced to an ignominious and cruel death A huge cauldron of boiling oil was prepared in front of the Latin Gate The sentence ordered that the preacher of Christ be plunged into this bath The hour had come for the second son of Salome to partake of his Master’s chalice the boiling liquid lost all its heat;

Log in to stop seeing these donation pop-ups XNL Piacenza-Centro per le arti contemporanee della Fondazione di Piacenza e Vigevano dedicates an exhibition to Giovanni Fattori a central figure of the Macchiaioli movement and among the most significant artists of the nineteenth-century European painting scene: Giovanni Fattori 1825-1908 produced by Dario Cimorelli Editore and realized with the support of the Banca di Piacenza in collaboration with the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art the City of Livorno and the Livorno Foundation held on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth and the forthcoming publication of the catalog raisonné edited by Giuliano Matteucci aims to rediscover the figure of Fattori through a new key to interpreting the artist and his production highlighting his originality and uniqueness in the context of 19th-century Italian art.Giovanni Fattori was able to excel in every artistic genre From his early experiments with the macchia technique which revolutionized the traditional aesthetic canons of the 19th century scenes of peasant life and views of the Maremma a region that embodied that rural world so beloved by the artist and contrasted with the frenzy of the modern city Also prominent among his works are depictions of military subjects both in the solemn and grandiose battles of the Wars of Independence and in the more intimate moments of garrison life In the face of disappointment at the failure of many hopes placed in the Unification of Italy his production is distinguished by the absence of celebratory rhetoric It is precisely this consistency and authenticity that make Fattori one of the most significant witnesses of the Italian Risorgimento A special focus in the exhibition will be devoted to his graphic production consisting of etchings that demonstrate his ability to innovate artistic language through a technique complementary to painting Thanks to the collaboration with theIstituto Centrale per la Grafica in Rome unpublished drawings and etchings will be on display that aim to document the artist’s stylistic evolution and his impact on 20th-century Italian graphics The exhibition also benefits from the contribution of the Matteucci Institute of Viareggio and Milan which will provide a selection of works representative of Fattori’s production from the “macchia” period to developments anticipating artistic trends of the following century Fattori’s legacy profoundly influenced twentieth-century culture as shown by critical essays and works by Ugo Ojetti influencing directors such as Luchino Visconti who captured his visual style in masterpieces such as Senso (1954) and The Leopard (1963) The exhibition concludes with a section devoted to the contemporary in which the work of photographer Elger Esser will offer an unprecedented visual reflection characterized by a remarkable balance between landscape and historical memory establish a profound dialogue with Fattori’s 19th-century naturalism This comparison of different eras enriches the exhibition The Art of XNL program is promoted by Rete Cultura Piacenza which includes the Foundation of Piacenza and Vigevano the Chamber of Commerce of Emilia and the Diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio For info: www.xnlpiacenza.it Fondazione Progetto Marzotto) © Fondazione Progetto Marzotto Gilmore 7,5: He plays a great first half and shoots with very high percentages In the second half he has less of an offensive impact but gives his contribution on defense Gajic 6+: he plays 12 minutes in which he scores a triple and also gives a good contribution on defense Suljanovic 4: he plays only 4 minutes and scores two free throws From Almeida 4: in 8 minutes of play he scores 3 points takes as many rebounds but also commits three fouls Oaks 5,5: It's not a brilliant performance from the captain He makes several errors in shooting but still gives a hand in both halves of the field Marks 8: MVP of the match with 23 points scored He knows how to be dangerous and easily drinks defenders when he has the ball in his hands Snakes 8: key offensive player for Piacenza He finished with a double double of 15 points and 11 rebounds Bartoli 8,5: He creates some great shots (17 points) and plays very well with his teammates (6 assists) He also fights a lot under the boards and takes 6 rebounds Coach Manzo 8: he plays every card available to chase the feat and keep hope alive His team dominates the match from start to finish fights hard in defense and the 9 balls recovered (considering that Piacenza lost nine and Brindisi recovered four) say a lot about the defensive intensity he makes a lot of mistakes with the ball and almost never finds the basket He gets 6 rebounds but on the court he seems to be non-existent Laquintana 8,5: scores a very difficult bomb on the buzzer of the first quarter and from that moment he actually enters the game Top scorer of the game with 24 points and among the best for Brindisi He also takes 6 rebounds and makes as many assists Arletti 4,5: He starts very well and scores 7 consecutive points in the initial phase of the match in a short time he commits three fouls and is no longer able to make an impact Of Cadia 3,5: perhaps his worst performance with the Brindisi jersey given that the lion who fought giving his all under the boards today has never been seen He plays almost 14 minutes but does not take even a rebound and his only basket comes in the last quarter of the game Phantom 6-: He returns from an injury and plays for 20 minutes especially in a game where the whole team struggled Ogden 8: he spends a lot under the backboards often the defense doubles him but he is good at making baskets with a high difficulty rate the player from Brindisi with the highest minutes and at the end you could see that he was exhausted recovers 7 rebounds and gives 6 assists to his teammates Radonjic 7+: he throws himself on every ball and spends a lot on rebounds (7 recovered) His teammates struggled to serve him with good offloads to allow him to shoot from long distance and he was forced to create the shots himself Shoemaker 5,5: He also struggled a lot in this match from an offensive point of view He missed several shots and lost too many balls during the management phase Coach Bucchi 6-: conceding 56 points in the first half is a sign of a defense that is too light the team increases the defensive intensity and in the third quarter we finally see a desire for redemption and they reach the tie Then a couple of consecutive blunders and all the efforts made previously are wasted It should be noted that they always have two players out due to injury email and website in this browser for the next time I comment Coming soon is an exhibition in Piacenza and Cremona dedicated to Giovan Battista Trotti The exhibition entitled Il Cavalier Malosso A Cremonese Artist at the Court of the Farnese was born out of the collaboration between the Civic Museums of Palazzo Farnese in Piacenza and the Diocesan Museum in Cremona and is spread over two venues each focusing on a specific aspect of this late 16th-century painter’s production.In Piacenza the exhibition will open April 10 and conclude July 13 a work of great historical and artistic value depicting theAdoration of the Shepherds and dated 1595 have recently resurfaced on the antiques market The discovery and reconstruction of this triptych was possible thanks to collaboration between institutions who identified the current owners of the two side wings and will focus on Malosso’s workshop and drawings made by the artist and his workshop will be on display along with a small selection of materials used by painters of the time to provide an overview of the painting techniques of the time the public will have the opportunity to witness live the restoration of a particularly significant work discovering the different stages of the conservation process The initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the Banca di Piacenza but also provides valuable financial support Also crucial was the contribution of the Chamber of Commerce of Cremona Mantua and Pavia and the Community Foundation of the Province of Cremona which house an important cycle of frescoes executed by Malosso testimony to his skill and versatility as a painter As these rooms are currently home to the Parma Provincial Command of the Carabinieri and one of the RIS headquarters the extraordinary access is made possible thanks to an ongoing dialogue with these institutions The exhibition is accompanied by a single catalog which offers an in-depth look at Malosso’s work and the artistic context in which he operated enriched by an extensive iconographic apparatus and critical essays is a valuable tool for understanding Malosso’s role in late 16th-century painting so that's an achievement that won't be missed by us but we know we've got three more games to keep building on that."

university career that touched on literature the constant dialogue of a woman born and grown up in the countryside The range of materials used by the artist in her creative process is very wide: acrylic installations and medium-large canvases that are added to the photographic sometimes contaminated by poetic and moving recitations of the artist herself In this multifaceted universe there is the artist’s dialogue with herself there is the need to bring back into fashion convivial rituals that have now disappeared there is the awareness of the finitude of time and there is The works are just over thirty and therefore we proceed to a necessary anthology of what emerges with greater force Vanitas is certainly an installation that attracts attention: two triangular and specular tables on which are placed objects in organic material separated by a wall of plasterboard and acrylic on absorbent paper – almost a technical feature of Rossetti – which in addition to performing an engaging aesthetic function we listen to the typical sound context of those who are at the table to feast: it is Lunch a sound work that invites us to a moment of the day at risk of extinction It is useless to look for a clear figuration in the works of Brigitta Rossetti If there is a recognizable element in the large spaces covered in acrylic (often on the usual absorbent paper) or in the large photographic and vertical spaces this element is the flower (or a hint of a flower) in a declination that proposes elements of still life in a modern key Another element of visual recognition is constituted by some full-bodied pigmentations on the surface pigmentations that simultaneously create discontinuities and correspondences in the act of observing The above is fully present in the two pictorial cycles entitled Lost Spring and above all in the grandiose cycle that gives its title to the exhibition appropriately placed at the end of the museum exhibition path Rossetti’s artistic urgency bursts forth with force almost a vital cycle that the artist places on the canvas (energy in the creative process They are large canvases that capture the gaze and immerse us in a dual reaction on the necessity of the relationship between man and nature and on the many vibrant layers (Layers is the title of another canvas by Rossetti) of the human soul The monumental Farnese complex that houses the museum rooms having been born as a citadel and fortress Brigitta Rossetti offers a sample of her (also) multimedia education made up of the artist’s gestures and words Rituals is an eleven-minute video composed of six acts in which we seem to immerse ourselves in the artist’s dreamlike universe in the «creative void when there is nothing yet» in a coming and going around a chair of an almost vestal who meditates on some personal objects from the past the projection on the rounded wall of the tower perfectly matches the space of the movements in the video with the real one We cannot leave this place without stopping in front of the large installation that perfectly refers to the title given to it by the artist is composed of a dozen wooden bases of different heights that here too in layers that include expanded polyurethane and absorbent paper is proposed as a set of works from urban windows The window is an element that plays an important role in Brigitta Rossetti’s poetics: just as there is an inside and an outside of the self and of one’s own conscience so there is an inside and an outside when our visual space is occupied by a window embellished by a very interesting wall triad of Giardini pensili (Hanging gardens) (graphic works and cotton print) dialogues with the sense of hearing thanks to another sound installation that refers to the chirping of cicadas (the title is Song of chicadas) together we visit three other exhibition venues but the owners’ willingness to open up to what is moving in art is now a must here in Piacenza In the elegant and neoclassical lemon house we find ourselves in front of another piece from the Lost Spring project: the canvas confirms the strength of an artistic expressiveness capable of expressing the sublime and the beautiful «is a piece of an ongoing project that wants to bring me closer to slightly more urban colors» along the right nave of the Lombard Gothic Basilica dedicated to San Francesco the theme of the Giardini pensili returns magnificently set up with a triptych composed of almost imperceptible and reticular rectangles that dialogue perfectly with the liturgical silence of the place The exhibition is accompanied by the digital catalogue of the same name and I feel obliged to thank writing because it drives my life I cultivate within me multitudes that lead me to investigate and

Fragrant Aceto Balsamico di Modena The region of Emilia Romagna is not only very much above the radar when it comes to Italy’s most celebrated foods; it’s smack-dab in the center of much of what we associate with Italian deliciousness When pondering the great wines of Italy, rarely do the wines of Emilia-Romagna, long associated with sweet and fizzy Lambrusco and unremarkable table wines we think of the heady and age-worthy wines of Piedmont and Tuscany Enter: Colli Piacentini in the westernmost part of Emilia-Romagna this hilly enclave (Colli Piacentini translates to “the hills of Piacenza”) along the border of Lombardy is dotted with medieval castles and vineyards that climb up the Apennine Mountains It shares the same latitude as Turin in Piedmont and encompasses the five valleys of Val Tidone What separates this area from other parts of Emilia-Romagna is the range of elevation and soil Vineyards reach as high as 1,500 feet above sea level with soils that aren’t fertile but are nonetheless rich in minerality thanks to red clay while the region shares the same latitude as the Langhe The resulting combination yields wines with body and power as well as distinct minerality and acidity thanks to the soil composition It’s a story that’s been told many times before about a now-famous wine region: Area once known for mass-produced low-quality bulk wines undergoes quality movement and is now the darling of somms While the same story can be told about Colli Piacentini Whether tasting the wines of the region or listening to its producers talk about them terms like “unusual,” “peculiar,” and “curious” consistently come up far more than possibly accurate yet tired descriptors like “powerful,” “age-worthy,” and “top-quality” — words more typically associated with a hot new wine region Colli Piacentini does not produce Lambrusco like the rest of Emilia-Romagna opting instead for still wines of Gutturnio a blend of Barbera and Croatina; Malvasia di Candia Aromatica; and Ortrugo The fact that Piacenza is a border town — surrounded by the more famous regions of Tuscany and Piedmont — means it has taken much of its influence from others perhaps originally creating a bit of an identity crisis of its own While this could have caused the region to simply model itself after its more famous cousins Colli Piacentini is instead taking the best of its neighbors and forging its own path with a small pack of innovators leading the way Lucio Salamini, son of Felice Salamini, who founded Luretta — perhaps the most prominent symbol of Colli Piacentini’s renaissance — feels Piacenza’s border location has contributed in an important way to the region’s wine identity “Colli Piacentini is remote and undiscovered at the same time is at the center of the peninsula and many commercial roads intertwine here; therefore it is at the center of a constant circulation of ideas and projects,” says Salamini the new generation of producers are interpreting the area with great enthusiasm and a personal take and the result is wines with extraordinary personality.” Luretta’s self-described “disruptive and at the same time mysterious personality” promises to lure visitors with wines that are carefully produced Salamino eschews typical local production methods in favor of traditional French techniques and an emphasis on environmental sustainability he aims to increase the body and complexity of the wines while still preserving the unique terroir of the region creating wines that — in an interesting departure from chasing wine scores and critical acclaim — “stimulate curiosity.” Others in Colli Piacentini have been on this quest for decades now. Long considered a pioneer of the region, La Tosa — run by Ferruccio and Stefano Pizzamiglio who purchased the land in 1985 — has been cultivating the potential of the region since long before anyone truly recognized just how special the terroir was in total contrast to the production in Emilia Romagna six more producers) have been following the path of our territory and by a rather hot climate,” says Stefano Recognizing that tourism is key to raising awareness among consumers of these lesser-known wines La Tosa also has a robust agritourism program as well as an on-site museum dedicated to the wines of the region Torre Fornello in Val Tidone celebrates the rich history of Piacenza while also keeping an eye on the international market and consumer — producing wines from local grapes as well as offbeat and secondary grapes from other hidden-gem regions “The main territorial and indigenous grapes are Malvasia di Candia Aromatica which give rise to wines with so much personality and uniqueness,” says Enrico Sgorbati “The result is to produce wines different from the usual there is an unmistakable passion that comes through — you can almost taste the twinkle in their eyes One wonders if some of these producers secretly hope the region remains a best-kept secret “I want to take everything that is extraordinary in these soils and vineyards and combine it into a wine without excess,” says Salamini my wines are like those people you miss when they leave rather than disrupting everything when they arrive.” Pizzamiglio echoes this sentiment: “I hope that the fame of our region will grow but always with harmony and balance,” he says I would never want to see wines from my region (even my own ones) be sold at prices so high as to keep them away from true wine lovers.” and the curious wine dreamers the region seems to covet A wine region that unapologetically champions obscure varieties produced with a minimalist approach to winemaking to be terroir-driven and food-friendly be a tough sell outside of the local context in which they are made New York-based Master of Wine Roger Bohmrich says the range of styles produced in Piacenza helps “Only a portion of drinkers will be open to taking a chance on a wine they don’t know,” says Bohmrich This favors a denomination such as Colli Piacentini both still and sparkling.” Varietal labeling may also help these wines gain more international recognition food and beverage director of Deep Dive Hospitality hospitality industry to champion regions like Colli Piacentini more broadly “The best way to get consumers excited about lesser-known regions is to put wines from those regions on restaurant and bar lists and on wine shop shelves,” she says even among professionals in the wine world that it’s hard to sell wines from anywhere besides recognizable grape-growing regions and by recognizable producers the vast majority of wine drinkers are interested in trying new wines and expanding their horizons.” Here are 10 wines from Colli Piacentini to help you expand those horizons by /// February 3 Each city has its own romantic place where you can exchange declarations of love and passionate kisses (the romantic phrase and the gift are up to you!)

The Pistoia team is made up of three fencers: the young Giulio Bove and Damiano Martini and the master Nicola Melani. As expected, the team will restart from B2, but their presence on the platform demonstrated the attachment of these boys to the club colors. The team championships, however, are not over as at the beginning of June there will be the most important event, again in Piacenza, with the A1 series championship in which the men's epee team will participate, which will take to the stage with Fabio Mastromarino, fresh under 20 world champion, Alessandro Ferrari, Lorenzo Bruttini and the welcome return of Marco Gori, absent in recent seasons for work reasons.
