HISTORICAL Â REPERTI TESTIFIES THEM
the PORTALI Montauro boasts of an elevated number of portali of
various stilistica matrix scatters to you along all the city
perimeter; on some the Gentilizi Palaces show oneself with which they
characterize the income. They are splendid examples pertaining to
antichi nobiliari buildings, and, in their globality, they represent
and they testify the classic inspiration. à? favorable, in the time,
the maintenance of the configuration originates them of portali
sayings, because they evidence the historicocultural values city
dellâ??insediamento. ECCLESIASTICAL BUILDINGS the CHURCH DI S.
PANTALEONE historical Signals the building is found in the part
orients them of the country, in a position from which all the Jonio
sea is controlled, from the tip of Stalettଠuntil Soverato. The
dedication to Saint Pantaleone makes to think to one first foundation
of the church in medioevale age. The more ancient document, than ago
reference to the church door the date of 1569. The external aspect of
the building, with a large tower to the angle north - the west and
numerous embrasures, is sure more similar to that one than a fortress
that not to that one of a church, above all if we think that the
original facade had to be much various one from that odierna. This
tipologia is often found again in coastal atmospheres with problems of
defense from attacks from the sea. On the southern external side, two
double embrasures are visible to report, together to the others seven
advanced ones, the restructure of 1569; the three great rectangular
windows, decided in irregular way, are pertinenti to a recent phase,
posterior to the 1783 are also the five finestroni with arc to all
sixth places in the higher part. Of great interest they are the two
monofore (that one to the west is today hardly visible because
bulwark) for the moment only testimony of the first phase building,
medioevale, subsequently modified from the cinqueÂcenteschi
participations and, after the earthquake of 1783, from the creation of
the atmosphere on navata the lateral right with the relative windows.
Also the east side, that one containing the apse, introduces to the
outside a rectilinear profile, of way that the volumetric aspect of
the building comes to being that one of a large one parallelepipedo to
rectangular plant, rigidly squared. The four embrasures are
contemporary of the fortification of XVI the century. Large finestrone
the rectangular one centers them, rifinito to the margins from a
frame, is perhaps how much remains of a rimaneggiamento of XVII the
century as it would seem testified from date 1652 (), recorded on the
frame. The side to north introduces many analogies with that one to
south: the four windows up, decided in symmetrical way regarding those
of the other side, cosi like the two monofore medioevali, of which one
bulwark, and the defense embrasures. On the side the west bugnato is
placed the facade with a beautiful portale to, with the arc closed in
key from one coat of arms with Greek cross, dated from an inscription
on the jamb north to 1519. The portale it is approached through one
scalone in stone, bringing recorded on one of the steps, the date of
construction 1609. All the facade, framed from double lesene and
sormontata from an eardrum, is of recent formulation, like testifies
the epigrafe of marble inserted in the masonry endured over the
portale, with the registration: " east Terribilis locus iste/hic domus
of east 1828 â?. To the center up there is rosone an oval, today
containing the image to mosaic policromo of the Saint made patron to
realize and to place of recent in place of the original
nineteenth-century painting; to of under sum ", that we find again in
I fresco to the inside of the church, endured on the left of the
entrance is brought back the same phrase " Of timeas Montaure
protector tuus. The rosone it is placed side by side from two
rectangular, contemporary windows of the last phase of the facade,
that they have probably destroyed two of ritratti of the twelve
Apostles represents you to the inside. The inside is divided in three
navate from two rows of four columns in stone that scandiscono five
lateral nails head for part. The tipologia of the columns ago to
assume a reuse of coming from materials from an other building or
pertaining to one more ancient phase of the church. The navata one
centers them, higher of the lateral ones is covered from a painted
ligneo ceiling, from little restored with abundant integrations. The
subject of such riquadri is, unfortunately, identifiable only for that
more close to the income where they are represents Saint Michele and
Satana to you. To sides of the income there are two frescoes
paesistici commemorating the arrival of the two reliquie of Saint
Pantaleone to Montauro. That north represents the arrival of the
fragment of the bone of the nape and brings enrolled the same phrase
mails on the income: Of timeas Montaure, protector tuus sum ". That
south refers to the arrival of the blood of the saint in 1753, as it
testifies the same registration. The date of the first execution of
such frescoes is from porsi probably in posterior age to the
earthquake of 1783. The greater altar of the church is decorated from
marbles policromi inlays to you and turns out dated from a
registration, mails on the back of the tabernacolo, to 1774. On the
back the rests of an altar, perhaps more ancient are visible, with two
large ones turn them in stone. Behind the greater altar a carved
ligneo chorus of XVII the century is placed. Over of he, there are two
large ones frescoes, signed and given to you from a registration it
mails on the base: " Dominicus Costantinus pingebat 1523 ". MONASTERO
the monastero of S. Anna, situated on a knoll to south of the country
that dominates all the gulf, from the Large Stone tip to Soverato,
strongly damaged during the earthquake of 1783 has been dâ??allora
left completely abandoned. Been born probably like dependency of the
Certosa of Greenhouse S. Bruno, like Grangia, with one primitiva
dedication to S. Giacomo, does not know if the monument rises on the
ruins of a more ancient building; it exists, in fact, a document,
little reliable, in which it is spoken already about the presence of a
monastero in this situated one in XI the century. à? perhaps in
relation to the return of the certosini in the 1514 châ??è to report
to the change of ancient the dedication in that new of S. Anna, with
which better the building in all documents from 1569 until our days is
known. Much obvious they are the analogies between the particular of
the embrasures, the cordolo and the technique building with those of
the church of S. Pantaleone, above all in the tower dated to the
second half of the five hundred, much to assume, with a sure
emergency, a same constructive moment and perhaps the use of the same
maestranze. Situated to the center of an immense agricultural
territory, fortified construction has the characteristic of one. The
plant is of rectangular shape with four placed square towers to
concerns us of the quadrilateral. The side the west where the main
income is placed appears very lesionato: the tower is quite uniform in
two; to the center, of a large probably concluded portale in bugnato
and in ancient from an arc to dive sixth, they remain to only crams it
to you. VISIT To the MUSEUM OF MONTAURO In the premises over navata
the lateral right, for gotten passionate initiative of the parish
priest Rev. Emidio Commodaro, has been prepared a small museum in
which they are harvests, beyond to the furnishings and sacred

the CULTURAL ASSETS the monuments help the man to write wonderful
pages of our history and our civilization. That can only continue and
happen if protected and the architectonic beauties are safeguarded,
since they make part of our cultural artistic patrimony. In order to
face these problematic ones the birth of the Ministry of the Cultural
Assets is matured and Acclimatizes them; qualified persons operate you
who, thanks to the advances technologies inherent to the restoration,
the archaeological diggings and the museums, while still alive
maintain to the beauties of the civilizations passages. The problem
therefore is that one of protected and safeguarding " the historical
center ", a problematic one that interests all Italy and mainly our
region. The regions with law 392 are been involved as far as the
administrative problem; cosi it is risen a relationship between
Cultural Assets, Supervising and University to the aim to resolve the
problem. Various private associations as the Archeoclub and the G.A.I.
(archaeological group of Italy) carry out, beyond to a great cultural
promotion, a vigilance activity on the artistic and cultural patrimony
signaling and denouncing abuses and violations to damage of the
patrimony. The CULTURAL ASSETS To MONTAURO the historical center of
the country is not protect from particular ties from part of the
Ministry of the Cultural Assets and Acclimatizes them; the defense of
the artistic patrimony is regulated exclusively from enforced the
National and Regional laws for the historical centers (to respect the
same height, not to modify the existing roofs and openings, to respect
the original inks). The only bound monuments from the Cultural Assets
and Acclimatize them are: the church Matrix of S. Pantaleone and the
Monastero di S. Anna. The program of enforced fabrication in vigor
from 1969 does not preview restrictions with respect to the protection
and to the protection of the historical center, made exception in the
reconstruction of the pieces of real estate that must respect enforced
the National and Regional laws. In new slowly the general regolator,
in phase of adoption, numerous they are the restrictions in order to
maintain the historical center intact. Only the portali in stone,
existing in all the historical center, are bound from a decree emitted
from the mayor who prevents to the modification or the destruction of
the same portali.
