Padua Italy - Antiquity.
Padua claims to be the oldest city in north Italy; the early medieval commune justified itself by a fabled founder in the Trojan Antenor, whose relics the commune recognized in a large stone sarcophagus exhumed in the year 1274.
The historical Padua inhabited by Veneti thrived thanks to its excellent breed of horses and the wool of its sheep. Its men fought for the Romans at Cannae, and the city (a Roman municipium since 45 BC (query 43?)) became so powerful that it w ...

According to mythology, the name of the first settlement FAOENTIA, had Etruscan and Celtic roots, meaning in Latin "Splendeo inter deos" or "I shine among the Gods, in modern English.

| | | | podestà: Encyclopedia II - Doge of Venice - Choosing of the Doge The doge's prerogatives were not defined with precision, and though the position was entrusted to members of the inner circle of powerful Venetian families, after several doges had associated a son with themselves in the ducal office, this tendency towards a hereditary monarchy was checked by a law which decreed that no doge had the right to associate any member of his family with himself in his office, or to name his successor. After 1172 the election of the doge was finally entrusted to a committee of forty, who were chosen by four men sel ...

The name derives from Mantus, an Etruscan god of Hades. After being conquered by the Cenomani, a Gaul tribe, the Romans conquered it between the first and second Punic wars, confusing Mantus with Manto, a daughter of Tyresia (Tiresias). The new settlement was populated with veteran sold ...

| | | | podestà: Encyclopedia II - Michelangelo - Michelangelo's life history Michelangelo was born near Arezzo, in Caprese, Tuscany, Italy in 1475. His father, Lodovico di Leonardo di Buonarotti di Simoni, was the resident magistrate in Caprese and podestà of Chiusi. His mother was Francesca di Neri del Miniato di Siena. As genealogies of the day indicated that the Buonarroti descended from Countess Matilda of Tuscany, the family was considered minor nobility. However, Michelangelo was raised in Florence and later lived with a sculptor and his wife in the town of Settignano where his father owned a marble quarry and ...

| | | | podestà: Encyclopedia II - St. Sebastian Mantegna - The St. Sebastian of the Louvre The Louvre's St. Sebastian was once part of the Altar of San Zeno in Verona. In the late 17th century-early 18th century it was recorded in the Sainte Chapelle of Aigueperse, in the Auvergne region of France: its presence there is related to the marriage of Chiara Gonzaga, daughter of Federico I of Mantua, with Gilbert de Bourbon, Dauphin d'Auvergne (1486).
The picture presumably illustrates the theme of God's Athlet, inspired to a spurious sermon by St. Augustine. The saint, again tied to a classical arch, is observed from an ...

| | | | podestà: Encyclopedia II - Mantua - Landmarks The Gonzaga protected art and culture, and hosted several important artists like Leone Battista Alberti, Andrea Mantegna, Donatello, Luca Fancelli, and Nicolò Sebregondi. Though many of the masterworks have been dispersed, the cultural value of Mantua is anyway outstanding. Many of the monuments are examples of a unique patrimony in patrician buildings and in Italian architecture.
Main monuments include:

| | | | podestà: Encyclopedia II - Michelangelo - Michelangelo the man Michelangelo, who was often arrogant with others and constantly unsatisfied with himself, thought that art originated from inner inspiration and from culture. In contradiction to the ideas of his rival, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo saw nature as an enemy that had to be overcome. The figures that he created are therefore in forceful movement; each is in its own space apart from the outside world. For Michelangelo, the job of the sculptor is to free the forms that, he believed, were already inside the stone. This can most vividly be seen in his unfinished statuary figures, which to many appea ...
