colleagues and experts from external service providers will be involved during the construction phase of the project each with a capacity of 5.9 megawatts (MW) The 53 MW Mondonuovo wind farm is scheduled to be commissioned in 2025 CEO RWE Renewables Europe & Australia: “We are building two major onshore wind farms with 21 new generation turbines in Italy Mondonuovo and San Severo will be able to supply up to 110,000 homes with green electricity every year These projects will help RWE to reach our ambitious climate target of Net Zero by 2040 and to support the Italian 2030 ambition for the energy transition and security.” Milestones in the construction of Mondonuovo the access roads to the site are adjusted and the crane erection areas are built The team then pours the 20 metre high foundations and erects tower after tower RWE uses special blade lifter technology to transport the rotor blades which enables the blades to be transported through tight bends and alleyways RWE has already used this technology in the construction of the wind farm in Selinus to avoid the felling of trees RWE’s presence in Italian market for renewables takes an integrated project approach that incorporates the development construction and operation as well as marketing of wind farms RWE is a key player in the Italian renewables market The company draws on its extensive experience to operate its business there with 15 onshore wind farms and an installed capacity of approximately 500 MW supplying around 400,000 Italian households every year After the commissioning of the San Severo and Mondonuovo projects in Apulia RWE will produce enough electricity from onshore wind to supply more than 500,000 homes in Italy with green energy RWE is also currently building its first photovoltaic plant in Sicily Pictures for media use of RWE’s wind farms in Italy are available at the RWE Media Centre Via Francigena It was established a few years ago by Fabiola Ventricelli and her brother After studying in far-off places for many years participated in the PIN – Pugliesi Innovativi grant from the Region of Puglia to breathe new life into a family home in San Severo This area is part of the Micaelic branch of the Francigena marking the final stages of the Micaelic Way a route that is spiritually akin to Sigeric’s journey stretching from Rome to Monte Sant’Angelo Shortly after crossing the border into Campania walkers can choose to continue southward along the Via Traiana or veer eastward in a path that arcs northward on the map Those wishing to stay on the Francigena need only turn south again The hostel opened in June 2020 and was immediately a hit and to have a different kind of experience” her father Francesco (president of the Cultural Committe ODV Vie Francigene San Severo) this family-run venture has also been an experience that constantly brings them into contact with the unexpected we’ve welcomed people from all around the world and of all kinds as well as people doing it for the first time recently reached Monte Sant’Angelo and then continued on towards Brindisi to embark for Turkey One of Fabiola’s dreams is to do the same one day: to put her backpack on her back and set off on a long journey Enopolio Daunio is an old two-storey house in the historic centre “It is still difficult to promote this possibility in San Severo but from those who come from afar there is great interest we receive requests from people who also live outside Italy and are used to working in shared spaces: with this space Mama Katia’s cooking induce people to return “The first walker who arrived in the summer of 2020 – Fabiola recalls – was a digital nomad to stay with us again for a few days“ The upper floor is also set up not to intensively exploit the space to make beds (in all there are 4-6 of them) but to give the possibility to cultivate activities a soundproof room that is used as a photo studio and for podcast production Walkers can choose to stay overnight only or to enjoy Katia’s traditional recipes for dinner This too is an opportunity to introduce pilgrims to all the good things Daunia has to offer “All the recipes are linked to the peasant tradition where only local products were used and nothing was thrown away and we prefer to offer these dishes to walkers because they are light and nutritious they give the right energy and are from here“ There would be so much more to tell about this place where plastic cups are banned and where they offer you coffee because Grandma Maria used to do this every time a guest arrived during the big family gatherings in summer But the Enopolio Daunio is not only a place to stop but also a place that helps realise projects One of these is ‘Un viaggio da sclero’ (literally It was conceived and experienced by Michele Agostinetto who in 2022 decided to join his places of origin by walking to celebrate life and make people aware of his illness which he had been diagnosed with two years earlier with many patronages (including that of the European Parliament and the EAVF) and many supports including that of Enopolio: when Michele arrived in San Severo he found a seminar ‘Communicating Multiple Sclerosis through a Walk’ where he had the opportunity to talk about his disease with some experts Then he and Fabiola walked a few stages together Another project is supported thanks to the co-working space, which makes it possible to host Davide Fiz, creator and protagonist of Smart working coast to coast: paths that cross – paths that unite Davide is a digital nomad who for some years now has been living by walking half a day thanks to spots that give him the opportunity to have a space equipped “I have organised a few stages to support his project because it helps people to get to know realities like ours and to understand that some spaces provide the possibility of combining walking and working“ “When we realise that we are faced with good people and projects that are useful from a social point of view Both my brother and I are involved in researching third-sector tenders But at Enopolio Daunio they also cultivate their own projects As a hostel operator and in charge of the Infopoint Via Francigena MSA02 San Severo Fabiola often comes across a common misconception: “Many people think they find themselves in situations similar to Santiago but here the accommodation still needs to grow The Region has invested a lot in the walking trails but there are still not enough in our province Hospitality is a decisive factor” she observes “Structures like ours (where an overnight stay costs 25 euro) are few but in the high season they can cost as much as 70 euro: these are not figures for walkers The walker is simple and environmentally aware and he looks for accommodation at affordable prices This is why the idea is to arrive at 10 beds“ But it is essential that a reception network be developed to accommodate groups if there is a problem with reception around here because there is no lack of relationship skills “Even with the info point you create with people who are totally strangers that level of trust that induces you to open up even about very personal things Many call me for information and end up telling me why they came to the decision to embark on a path The common thread is to find oneself“ because no one before setting off can escape the ritual of the photo in front of the Daunio wine cellar and a thought in the pilgrim’s diary “The dedications left by everyone over these four years say the same thing: that they felt at home“

(Wigan, 1971) with a double exhibition interweaving art and history in the heart of the city’s ancient center. The solo show Rags is hosted in the striking Sansevero Chapel famous for Giuseppe Sammartino’s Veiled Christ the artist will also be featured in the exhibition “Songbirds and Willows” at the Alfonso Artiaco Gallery This double exhibition allows the public to explore Almond’s latest research through an artistic journey that blends photography painting and video.The exhibition Rags in the Sansevero Chapel stems from a unique experience of Almond’s: photographs taken in the London studio of Lucian Freud one of the greatest painters of the 20th century The shots focus on an unusual but meaningful element: the dirty cloths of color used daily by Freud during the creative process “I found myself in Lucian’s studio scrutinizing the folds and shapes of the accumulated rags with which he had cleaned his brushes for the last time producing sweeping mental landscapes,” Almond says I felt there had to be an awakening of consciousness in the same way that the veil of Sanmartino’s sculpture can activate inner narratives spreading a veil of paint and color over the canvases of rags.” These “rags,” which give the exhibition its name (in English become textural landscapes under Almond’s lens dried residue and stiff folds of the fabrics evoke a plastic and sculptural energy that the artist amplifies through painterly interventions Almond’s works dialogue with the Baroque masterpieces that make it unique in the world The soft and delicate folds of the marble veils of the Veiled Christ and the Modesty or the colorful draperies of the perspective vault find a fascinating resonance in Almond’s paintings creating a game of cross-references that invites the viewer to immerse himself in the material and the space Rags intends to envelop visitors in a journey that stimulates the senses and imagination leading them to reflect on the relationship between matter The space of the nave becomes a place where past and present meet between formal harmonies and conceptual suggestions Access to the exhibition is included in the Sansevero Chapel Museum entrance fee Galleria Alfonso Artiaco is hosting the exhibition Songbirds and Willows which completes Almond’s visual narrative with new works The proximity between the two exhibition spaces creates a unique itinerary in the heart of Naples allowing the public to enjoy a complete and immersive artistic experience Almond has exhibited in prestigious international spaces interweaving personal and collective narratives His solo exhibitions include those at SITE Santa Fe Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire and MUDAM Luxembourg while his group participations include the Venice Biennale the Berlin Biennale and the Triennial Tate in London Department: Athletics Office: Athletics Building 2c Phone: 732-571-3604 Email: jsanseve@monmouth.edu Jennifer Sansevero was appointed as Monmouth University’s eighth director of athletics on Feb a role she transitioned into after joining the department in Sept Sansevero’s responsibilities include leadership of a department with 600 student-athletes 18 head coaches and 100-plus staff members financial oversight of the athletic department and representing the institution within the Coastal Athletic Association Sansevero’s leadership has been marked by several notable accomplishments including the launch of the Fly Hawks Alliance (a Name and Likeness collective supporting Monmouth student-athletes) 2023 regular season championships in field hockey and men’s soccer and facility improvements such as new FieldTurf installations and branding enhancements Her efforts have also increased Monmouth University’s media visibility with numerous games broadcast on major TV networks Before becoming acting director of athletics in July 2023 she served as the senior associate athletics director for Student Development and senior women’s administrator Her leadership has made a significant impact on Monmouth University’s Department of Athletics including creating a learning specialist position that helped achieve the department’s highest-ever grade-point average and national recognition from the NCAA for Academic Progress Rate scores earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Mount St Mary’s College and a Juris Doctor from Widener University School of Law RWE has started construction of a new onshore wind farm in Italy.

Piernicola Silvis, a local police chief turned author, said: “This wave of mafia terrorism reflects the arrogance of the Foggia clans, who are more than happy to accept a challenge from the state.” Four of the late-night bombings, in which no one was hurt, were in the small town of San Severo, near Foggia, where a perfume shop, a car showroom, a hairdresser and a fireworks shop were targeted. The story at the heart of filmmaker Severo Perez’s second novel, Odd Birds (Texas Christian University Press) is a pitch-perfect picaresque tale whose origins date to 1971 when he left his native San Antonio to seek his destiny in Hollywood where he has directed and produced such films as 1994’s …and the earth did not swallow him a classic of Chicano cinema based on Tomás Rivera’s 1971 novel and documentaries exploring the work of the artist Carmen Lomas Garza and the dancer-choreographer Rudy Perez But even though Severo Perez created an entirely new life for himself on the West Coast the complexities of Bejareño reality have continued to fascinate and inspire him “Odd Birds is a valentine to a San Antonio that no longer exists,” Perez said in a recent interview though this particular valentine is simultaneously wry advocacy for the struggle against the scourges of prejudice and privilege The San Antonio of 1961 that Odd Birds conjures is a place of auspicious where artistic daring can transform a mundane life where the fortunes of the downtrodden can be reversed in one fateful day Pretty much the San Antonio we all know and love today seventy-year-old Cuban-born artist Cosimo Infante Cano finds himself almost penniless on the streets of San Antonio after a series of Quixotesque misfortunes a longtime participant in Paris’s thriving modernist and surrealist artistic communities followed his Texas-born lover from France back to her hometown the “cultural backwater” of San Antonio only to arrive and find she has disappeared along with $45,000 he had transferred to her bank by others as a suspicious Cubano who may be an agent of Fidel Castro’s communist regime Cano wrestles with a few central questions all of which are answered in good time: Has he been the victim of a big grift What’s happened to his precious savings How will he survive this ordeal and return to his Parisian home In the course of following Cosimo’s strenuous efforts to put his life back together we are introduced to a host of “odd birds,” San Antonio eccentrics and outliers who are themselves variously involved in desegregating the city library and prodigally puffing weed as if it were 1969 rather than 1961 The book veers from its start as a noir-ish tale to an increasingly panoramic historical novel that echoes O Henry’s and Sandra Cisneros’s rich versions of San Antonio’s characters and haunts From its Parisian flashbacks to its San Antonio set pieces Odd Birds presents an uncannily interconnected world It’s the only novel I know of that name checks French surrealist novelist/theoretician Georges Bataille and legendary Mexican American jurist Carlos Cadena But what’s most striking is how vividly the book captures a city that has been at the center of far too few works of art. (Though Amazon’s recent animated series, Undone goes some way toward addressing that lacuna.) The San Antonio of yore seems indelible in Perez’s imagination from scenes set in the grand halls of the old Post Office “tiled in beige marble with Italianate chandeliers” to frequent references to such institutions as the Mexican Manhattan Restaurant Perez is actually a bit cheeky about how true the novel is to the city of his youth “Most of this book is a product of my imagination,” he writes in his acknowledgements “I chose San Antonio as the setting because The story could have taken place in any city where there is a river walk and a war memorial in the center of town.” “When I was six years old I was going to the movies by myself,” Perez says explaining his vivid sense of the city that once was “I was going to the Majestic Theatre by myself so people accepted that this tiny tyke knew his way around the city could take a bus everywhere he wanted to go and so I had a wonderful relationship with San Antonio the stores and the shops and the windows.” he was a loner who learned to love movies at the storied Majestic His memories of these childhood urban walkabouts give Cano’s solitary downtown wanderings a distinct sense of reality Cano is inspired by a real-life Cuban refugee whom Perez remembers wandering the streets back in the 1960s.) This ambience of historical veracity likewise leverages those parts of the book that delve into San Antonio’s turbulent civic culture of the early sixties “1961 was a crucial time for the integration of San Antonio,” Perez says “I remember that in 1959 or ’60 some black young men jumped over the fence and swam in the pool One could imagine all of this as the premise for a movie Perez professes to be fully committed now to his work as a novelist “Films are exhausting,” he says “A feature film takes at least three years from beginning to end and a lot of sucking up to people…I didn’t want my creative life to be over just because I could no longer make films.” He sees his novels as a perfect workaround a natural transition from his work in cinema ‘Have you given up filmmaking?’ my response would be I’m still making films—they just play in the theater of your mind.’” This post has been updated to make a correction: Undone is an Amazon series RWE is making good progress in expanding its

Camaldolese saints, a work created starting in 1505 by the young Raphael Sanzio left unfinished by the artist in 1508 after his departure for Rome and then finished between 1520 and 1521 by Perugino It is the only work made by Raphael for Perugia that has remained in the Umbrian capital and the only work where it is possible to see together the interventions of the Urbino and his master.The conservation work which involved the maintenance and restoration of Raphael’s and Perugino’s frescoes and the 16th-century polychrome terracotta sculpture by the Cooperativa Conservazione Beni Culturali was accompanied by a functional recovery of the museum space through the creation of a modern lighting system and the control of environmental conditions which made it possible to improve the reception of visitors and ensure optimal enjoyment of the property Cooperative Cbc restorers Elena Mercanti and Paola Mancini explained that the frescoes showed a general darkening due to the presence of fixatives which were removed to bring back brightness and colors A delicate work of consolidation of the plaster and paint film was also carried out chromatics and features previously not fully appreciable were brought back to light The intervention was carried out thanks to the resources donated by the great photographer Steve McCurry according to the agreements established on the occasion of the exhibition Sensational Umbria by Steve McCurry organized in 2014-2015 in theFormer Fatebenefratelli Hospital and the Civic Museum of Palazzo della Penna with the general coordination of the Region of Umbria the project supervision of the Soprintendenza Archeologia in agreement with the Municipality of Perugia and the organization of the then concessionaire of museum services

by the author) In Naples’ crowded and chaotic Rione Sanità neighborhood sits the Sant'Aspreno ai Crociferi church The façade itself is not uncommon of the city which stands atop of relatively steep stone steps included a life-sized half-bust stencil of a young man which seems to stare out over the hustle of the street with eyes that are deep and all-knowing If one is curious enough to inspect this stencil closer they will find that the right eye is perfectly positioned atop of a keyhole And if one puts their own eye to this keyhole they will not find themselves squinting in at the interior of just another Neapolitan church Their gaze will be met by a plethora of breathtaking statues and may even unexpectedly spy a sculptor at work in his vast and grand studio Jago recently made headlines around the world when he “abandoned” a million-euro piece of work in the Piazza del Plebiscit in the early hours of the first day of the national lockdown that was imposed on the Italian public in November shackled to the stones of the public square by a thick heavy chain which serves as the baby’s umbilical cord It is an extremely powerful piece that speaks profoundly to the public in the cataclysmic time of corona MutualArt was fortunate enough to be granted an opportunity for an exclusive in-person interview with the artist whose phone has been ringing off the hook since the installation of Look Down Jago’s calling came to him at a young age knowing that one day he wanted to express himself through sculpture While on a secondary school trip to the Sansevero chapel in Naples the sculptor was shocked at the immense beauty of the interior including the famed Cristo velato (Veiled Christ) The 1753 marble statue is considered one of the finest pieces of sculpture in the world that it was originally thought to have been created by a process of alchemy and I did something that you couldn’t do and that was to touch the sculpture (Cristo velato) The officer and the other people inside were screaming It was just the pure touch of a person very curious the level of someone who wants to understand what the reality is You can talk about the reality and you can talk about sculpture but sculpture is something that you have to touch but you need the experience to truly understand because how many people visit that chapel daily because I had to understand what I knew I loved That fateful visit to the Sansevero chapel continued to resonate throughout the years that followed culminating with the installation of Jago’s Figlio Velato (Veiled Son) in the chapel of the Basilica di San Severo fuori le mura located the in the Sanità neighborhood of Naples and is not to be confused with the Sansevero chapel where Jago lived for two and a half years before relocating to Naples Naples (photograph courtesy of the artist) One of the many facets that makes Jago’s work so powerful is the blending of the historic and the modern it is rich in the tradition of those masters who came before while at the same time being extremely relevant and thus speaking to those who inhabit the world today and to those who will come after historic buildings are rife with modern murals graffiti and stencils (including Banksy’s Madonna with Pistol) monolithic statues of saints like Domenico and poets like Dante stand proud above piazzas full of artists selling their current paintings This makes the city the perfect place for Jago’s studio and vision While Jago was not aware that somebody was going to place his portrait on the door of his studio he did find out who the artistic culprit was the following week as he found him waiting for him outside one day “They’re the type of artist who wants to cover their face because the way they work is not actually legal – it’s street art and the pure way I think that I’m a street artist too I have to do everything in respect to the rules heavy and very expensive – so you have to be crazy in another way Those guys have to be crazy because it’s illegal I have to be crazy because I put one million euros on the street.” Forming a real connection between his art and the people is something Jago is extremely passionate about and it is one of the reasons why he chooses to take such risks like placing his work in the streets ‘stripping’ his sculpture of Pope Benedict XVI when he abdicated A pivotal moment in his decision to relocate was when he returned to Naples for the installation of the Figlio Velato in the Basilica di San Severo fuori le mura He wanted to prove to himself that his work really worked in its capacity as art for a community If it held the power to make a real conversion in people “When people follow your work for years they recognize something that deeply belongs to them If they can go outside and visit your sculpture in a neighborhood known historically for criminality It’s easy to put something in a museum Everyone knows what’s inside of a museum: art If I really want to prove to myself that my art really works for a community then I have to put my art in a place that people typically don’t go to.” When the Figlio Velato was first installed in the Sanità church which was generally only visited by locals for mass on Sunday mornings Jago understood that what he was doing worked It was during this installation that the artist discovered the church he now uses as his studio and that will also become a museum very shortly; a place where people can come and view Jago’s finished pieces as well as watch the artist in the throes of creation Jago’s work and artistic vison are of the utmost importance in our modern world His blending of classical and contemporary his tendency to push the boundaries in how we view art and his inherent connection with the people will be appreciated and cherished for countless years to come and the artworld is extremely fortunate to have him Sant'Aspreno ai Crociferi is planned to open to the public on January 15 For

An almost 100-year-old winery and an area naturally suited for the production of rich and fine wines These elements would be enough to describe L'ANTICA CANTINA DI SAN SEVERO (fg) one of the most dynamic and long-lived Apulian wineries in the region.  Telling us the story of Antica Cantina is Ciro Caliendo as has happened numerous times before for other historic businesses like this one is a wall crowded with awards and recognitions The Antica Cantina di San Severo is actually a social winery founded in 1933 and it has its roots in local culture and culture It is no coincidence that San Severo saw the first Apulian DOC recognized in 1968 a tangible sign of a peasant and winemaking custom that to define millenary is reductive The strong point of the Antica Cantina's wine production is not only the synergic and joint work with its members who confer the quality grapes but it is also represented by a thousand hectares cultivated according to a system of company certification and traceability that contributes to producing wines that represent the harmonious joyful and elegant synthesis of the typicality of this land the dream of many farmers has come to life: to offer the consumer the sensations that express at the same time the pleasantness and passion that the land of San Severo offers  It is the way to get to know our history and the culture of the land toward which all the locals nurture a boundless passion Castrum San Severo Bianco is made from a blend of Bombino Rosso and Rosato round out the San Severo DOP offering The Castrum Rosso is a wine with just the right structure It releases aromas of plums and black cherry that blend with the floral of violets and cyclamen Castrum Rosato" with its delicacy offers a fruity intense bouquet with hints of peach to satisfy even the most sensitive palate With the Nobiles line we find the typical varietals Noble and positively austere is the Nobiles IGP obtained from Nero di Troia grapes one of the native vines of lands cultivated on the slopes near the Gargano Nobiles Nero di Troia has a full-bodied but refined structure and a taste of red fruits and spices that intrigue and intoxicate the palate Made by:

black animal The animal was seen on January 15 by Nicola Chiarappa who owns a fireworks factory near San Severo At first Mr Chiarappa thought the beast was a dog but changed his mind after taking a closer look “Then it jumped on to the bonnet of my car and ran off Investigators believe that the animal may have belonged to a boss of the Sacra Corona Unita (United Sacred Crown) A total immersion in the splendor of Neapolitan Baroque in the heart of the Neapolitan city this is how the experience could be defined by anyone who visits one of Naples’ best-known monuments: the Sansevero Chapel A place known to most as the custodian of one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of art but the Chapel is a true treasure chest of sculptures marbles and ornaments that leave one enraptured At the center of the single nave is the Christ opposite is the white monumentality of the High Altar are four round arches that hold sepulchral monuments of the illustrious ancestors of the di Sangro the family to which the architectural masterpiece belonged are the extraordinary sculptures that constitute the Chapel’s other real treasures after the Veiled Christ: just think of Disillusionment or Modesty for the vault is masterfully decorated in fresco with the Glory of Paradise appearances of angels and illusionistic architectural stratagems And the whole was complemented by a labyrinthine floor in part still visible in some parts of the building such as near the tomb of Raimondo di Sangro the one to whom we owe the 18th-century appearance of the Chapel (the iconographic layout that has come down to us) but especially in the numerous remains in the museum’s storage room.As early as 1688 thus before the “remodernization” by the aforementioned Raimondo Pompeo Sarnelli described in his Guida de’ forestieri e d’intendere le cose più notabili della regal città di Napoli the church of Santa Maria della Pietà de’ Sangri (otherwise called Pietatella) as follows: “is greatly embellished with works of the finest marble around which are the statues of many worthy personages of that family with their eulogies,” placed “against the small and lateral door of San Domenico Maggiore,” and founded by “Alessandro di Sangro Patriarch of Alexandria and Archbishop of Benevento out of devotion to the Mother of God.” According to legend (many legends are linked to the history of the Sansevero Chapel and to Raimondo himself) saw a portion of the garden wall of the di Sangro family’s palace in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore collapse and the image of the Madonna appear as he was being dragged in chains to prison: it happened in the late 16th century promised Our Lady to give her a silver lamp and an inscription if he was released from prison and declared innocent and the sacred image of the Virgin began to be visited by pilgrims who in turn received numerous other graces it is said that even the duke of Torremaggiore was the protagonist of an episode: seriously ill and turning to this effigy of Our Lady to ask her to make him well he came back healthy and therefore had a small chapel dedicated to Santa Maria della Pietà erected right on the spot where the Virgin had appeared to the innocent man initiated significant enlargements and alterations to the original Pietatella as a sign of thanksgiving for his father’s recovery: he built a true building of devotion intended to house the tombs of the dynasty’s ancestors The intention was precisely to welcome and reunite the members of the di Sangro family in one place the same place where his father had been saved Little remains of the Chapel’s17th-century appearance: basically The interventions made by Alexander and the intent behind them are still testified to this day by theinscription visible on the main door: “Alexander of Sangro patriarch of Alexandria destined this temple raised from the foundations to the Blessed Virgin as a sepulcher for himself and his own in the year of the Lord 1613.” This is not the only inscription in the monumental chapel to testify to part of its history: in fact on the side door one can read another long inscription which in this case dates back to the 18th century the glorious phase that saw Raimondo di Sangro (Torremaggiore enter and devoutly pay your respects to the prodigious ancient work: the noble temple long since consecrated to the Virgin and majestically amplified by the ardent prince of Sansevero Don Raimondo di Sangro for the glory of his ancestors and to preserve to immortality his ashes and those of his own in the year 1767 Observe with attentive eyes and with reverence the urns of the heroes honored with glory and contemplate with wonder the praiseworthy homage to the divine work and the sepulchres of the deceased and when you have rendered the honors due deeply reflect and depart”: with these words anyone who enters is greeted It was in fact in the middle of the eighteenth century that the seventh prince of Sansevero carried out the extraordinary work that we still see today: its present appearance is in fact the result of the latter’s desire to build a great temple that would glorify all the members of his family as attested by the words of Pompeo Sarnelli already in the seventeenth century the chapel was enriched with many marbles and statues with Raimondo’s rearrangement the Baroque exploded in every corner and detail: he commissioned from the leading sculptors of the time the statues placed near the pillars between the arches which in the complex iconographic layout were to represent the Virtues and from the most skilled painters the magnificent Glory of Paradise decorating the vault Raimondo was a rather irreverent exponent of the di Sangro family: he used to try his hand at experiments in the second volume of Giangiuseppe Origlia’sIstoria dello Studio di Napoli a seminal text published in the mid-eighteenth century through which we learn about Raimondo’s detailed biography inventions such as a peculiar arquebus that operated on both powder and compressed air a type of wax and a type of silk made from plant species and other oddities that aroused wonderment from citizens and foreigners alike A creative and lively mind capable of giving birth to extraordinary reveries that he punctually realized he possessed a great knowledge of languages In 1737 he was inducted among the gentlemen of the chamber of King Charles III of Bourbon he was made a knight of the Order of San Gennaro He was also a valiant military man: he became colonel of the Capitanata regiment and took part in the war of Velletri Then in 1751 his most famous literary work was published the Lettera Apologetica: an apologia on an ancient communication system used by the Incas of Peru or knots made of colored cords by means of which this population narrated events and stories the text was a tool for Ramon to convey free thought on topics such as the origin of the world and man the Church whose unnecessary meddling he did not tolerate These themes were considered to be expressions of Freemasonry to which di Sangro himself was considered to be linked For this reason the Lettera Apologetica entered the forbidden books and was condemned by the Church and its author considered an exponent ofesotericism A real myth was created around him because of his prodigious ingenuity and his being “a wonderful man predisposed to all the things he dared to undertake,” as his tombstone reads Ramon’s unusual personality gave rise to numerous legends about both himself and the Chapel became in the imagination an almost demonic place incessant noises like that of a hammer on an anvil could be heard and infernal glows could be seen from the large windows Ramon even committed murders: he had two of his servants killed to embalm their bodies in order to make the Anatomical Machines he killed seven cardinals to make chairs out of their bones and skin so that he would not allow him to make another masterpiece like that that through an alchemical process he succeeded in marbling the veil of the Christ It is also said that at the time of his death the prince of Sansevero resourced and had a Moorish slave cut himself into pieces in order to fit well into a chest from which he would emerge healthy at a given time; the di Sangro family and the corpse tried to get up but immediately fell down and there are even tales of close encounters with his spirit the true meaning of the iconographic project that Ramon wanted to create in the Chapel through the marble sculptures is still unknown but it has nevertheless often been likened to Freemasonry Camillo Napoleone Sasso ’s description of it in the mid-nineteenth century in his Storia de’ monumenti di Napoli e degli architetti che gli edificavano dal stabilimento della monarchia fino al nostro giorno largely mirrors the current one: as narrated in the nineteenth-century description it is a “little temple worthy to be seen for the excellent works of sculpture therein directed by the most feracious ingenuity of Raimondo di Sangro,” and “many noble and sumptuous Sepulchres with beautiful statues are seen.” The sepulchral monuments are placed in the side chapels and house the illustrious ancestors of the family while the sculptures located between the arches are dedicated to the women of the family which is intended to pay homage to Raimondo’s father an initiatory path to lead to the knowledge of the soul and the complexity of achieving it was further emphasized by the labyrinthine floor that the visitor would find himself walking along the Prince of Sansevero was influenced by Cesare Ripa’sIconologia since he also financed a five-volume reissue of the late 16th-century text “Above the door of the church is the deposition of one di Sangro who armed with helmet and armor comes out with sword in hand from an iron chest,” Sasso writes: this is Cecco di Sangro who during a campaign in Flanders remained hidden for two days in a chest to defeat his enemies and seize the fortress of Amiens 1729 - 1814) begins the glorification of the family that is accomplished within the Chapel and has been considered by many to be a kind of immortal guardian of the Masonic temple and Modesty follow on the left; past the monumental High Altar and back toward the entrance Sculptural masterpieces depicting as mentioned the Virtues that were made by artists such as Antonio Corradini (Venice Decorum is personified by a naked young man wearing a lion skin on his hips and leaning on a column placed at his side topped by the feline’s head symbolizing the victory of the human spirit over wild nature Liberality is a refined female figure holding a cornucopia full of jewels and valuables in her left hand and coins and a compass in her right hand The statue is set before one of the four faces of a pyramid (the other three are related to the Suavity of the Marital Yoke Presumably the geometric figure symbolized in Ramon’s initiatory iconographic setup Egyptian wisdom The Zeal of Religion is presented as a more complex sculptural group: an elderly man holds the light of Truth in one hand and a whip in the other; with one foot he treads on a book from which some snakes come out and bite a cherub while two other putti lift a medallion on which are depicted the faces of two women One woman personifies the Suavity of the Marital Yoke: she holds a feathered yoke and lifts two flaming hearts while a winged putto lifts a pelican in one hand The bird symbolizing Christ’s sacrifice on the cross refers toalchemy: it is emblematic of a particular vessel used for distillation and also of the philosopher’s stone Sincerity is dedicated to Carlotta Gaetani Raimondo’s wife: depicted gracefully the woman holds a heart and a caduceus in her hands and at her feet is placed a putto with two doves (in alchemy the state of raw matter before it becomes the philosopher’s stone); the caduceus A warrior holding a lion in chains represents Self Domination the control of one’s passions-a typical theme in Freemasonry Added to the subject are two cherubs and a medallion with the face of Raimondo’s grandmother Geronima Loffredo.Education is depicted by a woman teaching a young boy who in turn has Cicero’s De officiis in his open hands Finally,Divine Love has the face of a cloaked youth raising a flaming heart a reference to the fire the alchemist receives from God are thus discernible in most of the statues of the Virtues the sculptures of great significance in terms of both quality and meaning are placed on either side of the High Altar: on one side is Modesty and on the other is Disillusionment “covered with a transparent veil under which all the features of the body are revealed,” as we read in the Storia de’ monumenti di Napoli (History of the Monuments of Naples); the second represents the prince’s father in the features of “a man enveloped in a net from which he tries to extricate himself with the help of his own strength The net stands almost entirely isolated without touching the statue It is to be observed the attitude of the man who tries to get out of the net to conclude being this a non plus ultra among the works of art,” as Sasso relates Francesco Queirolo masterfully renders a man’s attempt to free himself from sin through the net in which he is entangled aided by a winged genie: the male figure is lifting the net off his head and has already freed his right arm and chest The young helper points the man to a globe and the Bible symbolizing worldly passions and the sacred and on the base of the sculptural group is visible a bas-relief depicting Jesus giving sight to the blind man an episode that well expresses the intent of the sculpture When Raimondo’s mother died prematurely his father began to take up a profligate life but by now an old man he returned to Naples repented of his mistakes and dedicated the last years of his existence to his faith There is no other comparable sculpture in the history of art: the invention of the net wrapped around the body is an extraordinary example of virtuosity that the artist was able to accomplish with marble If the net of Disenchantment affirms the great skill in mastering a material such as marble the veil that covers the entire figure of Modesty The woman elegantly turns her gaze in profile and carries roses on her lap in the folds of the fabric The transparent veil is finely modeled on the body and emphasizes the perfection achieved by the statue’s author such as the broken tombstone and the lost gaze A veil also covers the most famous masterpiece of the entire Chapel as well as among the most famous in the history of art which attracts numerous visitors from all over the world: the Veiled Christ the marble work that Giuseppe Sanmartino created in the mid-18th century Sasso described it as "a sculpture in which this excellent craftsman surpassed himself like the Modesty which he set out to imitate but which in the judgment of the connoisseurs surpassed him One admires in it not only the transparency of the veil but the artificial negligence of the sheet where the Divine Corpse rests and the expressive posture of the statue seeming truly a dead man." Sanmartino sculpted the life-size body of the dead Christ and what is extraordinary is that he did it in a single block of marble through which all the features of the body are perceived are the result of such perfect sculptural skill that they seem to be of another material to give a feeling of softness to the material legend runs that the veil was created by Raimondo di Sangro through an alchemical process of marbling as if to link this with Sanmartino’s masterpiece is depicted in an immediately preceding episode Here the Baroque takes center stage with volumes and forms that seem to spill out and with expressions of theatricality As theatrical is the fresco on the vault created by Francesco Maria Russo: in the Glory of Paradise the dove of the Holy Spirit crowned with a triangular-shaped nimbus the geometric figure of the Worshipful Master in Freemasonry the Veiled Christ was supposed to have been destined for the underground Cavea a sort of cave below the main nave that would have housed the tombs of the family’s ancestors; the sepulchral project was not realized as conceived by the prince which have perfectly preserved the entire circulatory system The anatomical systems were carried out by physician Giuseppe Salerno but the legend still remains that the prince had two of his servants killed and embalmed partly because Ramon used to carry out experiments in the medical field as well The figure of the prince of Sansevero is one of the most enigmatic and shrouded in mystery mainly as a result of the many legends surrounding him: immortal he still stands vigil in his Chapel in his sepulchral monument which is accessed from the third arch on the left topped by symbols celebrating his military activity scientific experiments and literary passion: all the things he dared to undertake and for which he was remarkably predisposed (ANS - Vatican City) - On Saturday 22 May 2021 Holy Father Francis received in audience Cardinal Marcello Semeraro Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and during the audience authorized the same Congregation to promulgate the Decree concerning the heroic virtues of the Servant of God Felice Canelli (1880-1977) Priest of the Diocese of San Severo (Foggia The Diocesan Inquiry was held at the Curia of San Severo (Fg) from 25 March 2009 to 30 November 2013 under the guidance of the Relator Fr Zdzisław Józef Kijas whether the Servant God exercised the virtues to a heroic degree the Special Congress of Theological Consultors was held on 29 September 2020 and the Ordinary Session of Cardinals and Bishops on 4 May 2021 The Cause of Beatification and Canonization promoted by the Diocese of San Severo and the parish of Croce Santa is followed by the Salesian Postulation in the persons of Fr Pierluigi Cameroni Postulator General for the Causes of Saints of the Salesian Family Fr Felice Canelli was born in San Severo (Fg) on 14 October 1880 to Gabriele and Teresa Marchitto;

for the first time a dialogue between contemporary art and tradition the English artist Darren Almond presents his personal exhibition “Rags” a project produced in collaboration with the Alfonso Artiaco GalleryThe exhibition is accompanied by a second event hosted in the same gallery in Piazzetta Nilo The central idea of “Rags” was born from the photographs taken by Almond in his London studio Lucian Freud The English artist immortalised the dirty cloths used by Freud to clean his brushes transforming them into large mental landscapes The connection between the painted cloths and the sculptural folds of the Veiled Christ of Giuseppe Sanmartino it is evident and represents the meeting point between past and present spreading a veil of paint and colour on the rag canvases,” explains Almond underlining the reference to marble lightness which characterizes the works of the Sansevero Chapel The exhibition “Rags” is set in a unique context where six large-scale works will be exhibited in the main nave The observer is invited to immerse himself in the details of the transformed photographs recalling the dynamic materiality of the draperies and the delicacy of the veils of Modesty and the Veiled Christ explains: “We welcome contemporary art as a continuation of the message of the Prince of Sansevero Almond’s works reflect the dialogue between life and death that
