Soffiava un forte vento ma le possenti mura mi ispiravano un senso di sicurezza. La campagna era profumatissima e mi sono concessa una piccola contravvenzione alla dieta mangiando due ottimi fioroni.

In questo clima sereno la mia mente si è riempita di pensieri positivi e pur non potendo negare l'esistenza dei vandali che più volte ho denunciato in questo blog ho pensato che basterebbe solo un po di&amp;nbsp;presenza umana in più&amp;nbsp;per scongiurare questi fenomeni.

La chiesa era affollata di visitatori,&amp;nbsp;nella maggior parte stranieri, che si dimostravano piuttosto interessati alle spiegazione delle guide e scattavano&amp;nbsp;foto a volontà. Un successo. Ad un tratto, mentre mi trovavo seduta ad un banco ed ascoltavo la spiegazione offerta da una guida ad una comitiva di turisti italiani, ho&amp;nbsp;intercettato una frase di questo tipo: "&lt;em&gt;la controsoffittatura che cela la volta&amp;nbsp;è il risultato di lavori di arricchimento realizzati nella prima parte del 600&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(1)&lt;/span&gt; ed è&amp;nbsp;decorata dal pittore barese Carlo Rosa&lt;/em&gt;". Baresee? Era bitontino, ho commentato a bassa voce quindi mi sono trovata ad un bivio. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Possibilità 1: Precisare alla guida turistica che Carlo Rosa era un pittore bitontino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Possibilità 2: Farmi i&amp;nbsp;fatti miei, cosa che mi riesce sempre piuttosto difficile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Avrete capito che ho optato per l'opzione uno. A spiegazioni terminate ho&amp;nbsp;avvicinato la guida, mi sono presentata e le ho detto con garbo&amp;nbsp;che Carlo Rosa era un pittore bitontino. La reazione della giovane guida è stata&amp;nbsp;gelida. Immagino che dal suo punto di vista la cosa fosse irrilevante. A tal punto ho voluto precisare ulteriormente che i dipinti alloggiati nelle lunette che si trovano nella cripta e che narrano la vita del Santo sono opera di Nicola Gliri, allievo di Carlo Rosa, anch'egli&amp;nbsp;bitontino. Reazione findus anche in questo caso. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;In conclusione vorrei dire che io probabilmente sono una rompiscatole&amp;nbsp;ma tanti altri sono davvero superficiali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-small;"&gt;(1) A me risulta 1661&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-5443502271014225731?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/5443502271014225731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/5443502271014225731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2010/06/artisti-in-trasferta.html' title='Artisti in trasferta'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-4780435709465562401</id><published>2010-05-27T23:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-28T00:02:49.240-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='battaglia di Bitonto'/><title type='text'>Gran Corteo Storico</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Sabato 30 maggio si svolgerà l’edizione 2010 del Gran Corteo Storico organizzato dall’Accademia della Battaglia presieduta dalla professoressa Concetta Tota.

Una Madonna che assomiglia parecchio a quella dipinta sotto l'arco Galassi che si trova poco lontano. Sembrerebbe, però, che tale soggetto sia stato dipinto sopra un precedente affresco, forse reso illeggibile dal tempo. Ho enfatizzato il contrasto nella foto per evidenziare quelle che sembrano tracce dell'affresco sottostante.

Sotto tali vi sono tre edicole votive. Due di esse ospitano stampe piuttosto recenti, verosimilmente collocate nelle antiche cornici di animi sensibili per rimpiazzare gli antichi dipinti trafugati o distrutti dal tempo e dall'incuria. La restante è costituita da un dipinto, certamente antico, in pessime condizioni e di difficile leggibilità. L'occhio interessato riesce a scorgere un crocifisso e alla base dello stesso, sulla sinistra, il volto appartenente ad una figura umana, probabilmente inginocchiata valutando le proporzioni.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-6dRSlG05I/AAAAAAAAADs/lTPrHMilmls/s1600/blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-6dRSlG05I/AAAAAAAAADs/lTPrHMilmls/s320/blog.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-6942347011116420490?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/6942347011116420490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/6942347011116420490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2010/05/via-san-antuono.html' title='Via San Antuono'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-6dRSlG05I/AAAAAAAAADs/lTPrHMilmls/s72-c/blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-5829176642427176120</id><published>2010-04-23T10:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T00:34:37.166-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='album'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='edicole votive'/><title type='text'>Via Fabrizio Carafa</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Questa foto l'ho scattata in una corte che si affaccia via Fabrizio Carafa, scusate ma non ricordo esattamente quale.

Essa testimonia che anche nei tempi moderni il fenomeno devozionale non è estinto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S881kbkWp9I/AAAAAAAAACc/mwzAV4M1nlE/s1600/blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S881kbkWp9I/AAAAAAAAACc/mwzAV4M1nlE/s320/blog.jpg" wt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-317847501888896075?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/317847501888896075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/317847501888896075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2010/04/arco-galassi.html' title='Arco Galassi'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S881kbkWp9I/AAAAAAAAACc/mwzAV4M1nlE/s72-c/blog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-5787785304128325353</id><published>2010-04-21T09:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T00:36:51.923-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='album'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='edicole votive'/><title type='text'>Via Amedeo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;Percorrendo via Amedeo e&amp;nbsp;superata la chiesa di San Rocco sul cui portale si noterà l'assenza della statua del santo, ci attende, sotto uno splendido arco, questo affresco antico e di grandi dimensioni.

Chi segue il mio blog conosce già il mio amore per la natura e immagina quanto io apprezzi gli spazi aperti arredati con le piante.&amp;nbsp;Tale apprezzamento è condiviso da tanta altra gente che si diletta, avendone la possibilità economica, a realizzare giardini e parchi. In tali spazi, spesso, si ritrovano&amp;nbsp;notevoli quantità di pietre lavorate che ben si addicono a completare ed abbellire il giardino. Negli anni mi è capitato di vedere di tutto. Frequentemente mi&amp;nbsp;sono imbattuta&amp;nbsp;in vialetti lastricati di antiche chianche. Spesso ho apprezzato la bellezza di panchine realizzate con antiche lastre di pietra che&amp;nbsp;per effetto della lavorazione manuale e della patina del tempo conferiscono all'ambiente un'atmosfera rustica e rilassante. Talvolta mi sono stupita nel&amp;nbsp;ritrovare gli elementi architettonici più disparati disseminati, così, senza una funzione definita, tra le siepi a far bella mostra di se.&amp;nbsp;Occasionalmente poi ho visto stemmi nobiliari scolpiti su antiche pietre, di certo riportanti le insegne araldiche di famiglie diverse da quelle dei detentori,&amp;nbsp;collocati nei posti più strani e improbabili. Certamente le stesse cose avrete visto anche voi e anche voi vi sarete domandati quale fosse la provenienza di questi oggetti.&amp;nbsp;Io che ho la "faccia tosta" in qualche circostanza l'ho posta quasta domanda. Ho ricevuto sempre&amp;nbsp;risposte sdegnate che mi rassicuravano sulla liceità dell'acquisto e ribattevano affermando che un antico stipite di pietra si trova più al sicuro in un giardino, dove è protetto e coccolato, che nel luogo dove è nato dove vivrebbe vita incerta e rischierebbe di andare distrutto.&amp;nbsp;Quanta generosità! Concludo dicendo che di certo non tutte le pietre antiche che&amp;nbsp;troviamo nei giardini sono di provenienza furtiva ma molte di esse certamente lo sono. Allego alcune foto&amp;nbsp;che documentano furti di pietre a Torre di Spoto.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S0G3FoBuJ3I/AAAAAAAAABc/c6fJFdvsDNc/s1600-h/chianche.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S0G3FoBuJ3I/AAAAAAAAABc/c6fJFdvsDNc/s320/chianche.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S0G31I_VLBI/AAAAAAAAABk/ohgkwEB2oDw/s1600-h/stipiti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S0G31I_VLBI/AAAAAAAAABk/ohgkwEB2oDw/s320/stipiti.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Cosa ve ne pare?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-4335121302441740144?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/4335121302441740144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/4335121302441740144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2010/01/il-furto-della-pietra.html' title='Il furto della pietra'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S0G3FoBuJ3I/AAAAAAAAABc/c6fJFdvsDNc/s72-c/chianche.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-868367814570019128</id><published>2009-12-30T06:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T14:58:56.917-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='edicole votive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculture in pietra'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pietre levigate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='danneggiamenti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torre di Spoto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='madonna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='devozione popolare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='furti'/><title type='text'>Edicole votive di campagna</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Vi siete mai soffermati ad osservare le edicole votive superstiti che si trovano nelle nostre campagne? Certo, transitando con le autovetture la cosa è un pò difficile e sottrae attenzione alla guida, quindi non fatelo. Se invece vi trovate a passeggiare per le strade vicinali o fate un bel giro in bicicletta vi invito a fermarvi ed a riscoprire la bellezza di questi&amp;nbsp;testimoni della devozione popolare dei tempi andati. La conformazione tipica dell'edicola votiva è quella del pilastro, realizzato in pietra o tufo,&amp;nbsp;sormontato da un capitello&amp;nbsp;o da una cuspide coperta da falde spioventi. La struttura è più o meno scolpita e ricca di&amp;nbsp;decorazioni, ritengo più&amp;nbsp;a causa della&amp;nbsp;capacità di spesa del committente che al suo gusto estetico. Nella parte terminale superiore si apre una nicchia che contiene, sarebbe più corretto dire conteneva, l'effige di Cristo, della Madonna o di un Santo.&amp;nbsp;Immediatamente sotto la nicchia si trova, solitamente, una lapide con una iscrizione votiva e una data.&amp;nbsp;Devo confidarvi che trovo molto interessante la lettura delle lapidi perchè da esse&amp;nbsp;si riesce a comprendere la nostra storia più autentica; quella scritta dalla gente comune nelle&amp;nbsp;proprie dichiarazioni di fede.&amp;nbsp;Molte edicole sono pregevoli anche&amp;nbsp;sotto l'aspetto architettonico e ritengo auspicabile un loro censimento e una loro&amp;nbsp;valorizzazione. Anche in questo caso devo tristemente concludere denunciando che le edicole votive di campagna sono oggetto da sempre di furti e danneggiamenti.&amp;nbsp;I dipinti che in esse erano alloggiati da tempo oramai ornano le case dei soliti collezionisti&amp;nbsp;mentre i capitelli, le mensole ed in generale i fregi in pietra, smontati senza troppo riguardo, fanno mostra di se&amp;nbsp;in giardini privati. Spesso mi domando quale sia la molla che spinge alcune persone a&amp;nbsp;saccheggiare il territorio in cui vivono, a deturparlo, a vilipenderlo. La risposta non l'ho ancora trovata ma dubito fortemente che si tratti della disperazione di gente bisognosa. Temo si tratti di una deriva dei valori.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-868367814570019128?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/868367814570019128'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/868367814570019128'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2009/12/edicole-votive.html' title='Edicole votive di campagna'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-3323457569802509096</id><published>2009-12-28T05:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-12T15:16:53.502-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='villa de Ilderis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cisterna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='danneggiamenti'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torre di Spoto'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torre di Cela'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='escursioni'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='degrado'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mangiare in campagna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Torre Carrieri'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mountain bike'/><title type='text'>Natale in campagna</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Trebuchet MS&amp;quot;,sans-serif;"&gt;Avere venti gradi di temperatura nel giorno di Natale è davvero un'esperienza curiosa. Intendo dire che il freddo e&amp;nbsp;la neve sono elementi del rito stesso della festa e la loro assenza sembra diminuirne il fascino.&amp;nbsp;Questo inconsueto favore del clima, però, ha favorito le attività all'aria aperta e mentre molti si sono regalati&amp;nbsp;belle passeggiate sul lungomare di Santo Spirito, io, neanchè a dirlo, ho trascorso la mattinata in campagna&amp;nbsp;in compagnia della mia eroica bicicletta di nome Giulia. L'aria era primaverile, gli&amp;nbsp;ulivi argentei e maestosi ed i muretti di pietre a secco apparivano bianchissimi per la intensa luce che il sole proiettava su di loro. Mi sono rilassata moltissimo. Torre di Spoto era in gran forma e&amp;nbsp;sui davanzali delle sue finestre i passeri cantavano al sole.&amp;nbsp;Bellissimo. Purtroppo devo segnalare che la grande cisterna pubblica denominata "&lt;i&gt;pescara tre delle cinque&lt;/i&gt;" ubicata sulla via di Cela, a breve distanza da Torre di Spoto,&amp;nbsp;si trova in condizioni di abbandono e&amp;nbsp;versa in uno stato di rovina. Naturalmente non si tratta dell'unico scempio che ho incontrato sulla strada. La stessa Torre di Cela non se la passa bene e&amp;nbsp;la Torre Carrieri che si trova in corrispondenza dell'incrocio per Torre di Spoto&amp;nbsp;è&amp;nbsp;pressochè diroccata. Certamente il triste primato del degrado spetta alla settecentesca&amp;nbsp;villa de Ilderis, ubicata nelle&amp;nbsp;vicinanze, che versa in uno stato di gravissimo degrado.&amp;nbsp;Come ho già scritto in altri post, questo sembra l'inesorabile destino&amp;nbsp;dei beni architettonici che si trovano nelle nostre campagne. Che peccato, però.&amp;nbsp;Davvero non c'è niente da fare?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-3323457569802509096?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/3323457569802509096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/3323457569802509096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2009/12/natale-in-campagna.html' title='Natale in campagna'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589504984119388815.post-1298335007257705298</id><published>2009-11-28T10:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-06-27T00:38:08.437-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='album'/><title type='text'>Passeggiate in campagna</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;"&gt;Oggi, nel primo pomeriggio, mi sono regalata un rilassante giro in bicicletta.

Si chiama Torre di Spoto (alcuni la chiamano Torre Spoto) e si trova nelle campagne di &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitonto"&gt;Bitonto&lt;/a&gt; in provincia di Bari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In passato ha vissuto momenti di notorietà ma si sa, tutto passa e anche lei è stata dimenticata dagli uomini, nonostante i tanti eventi umani a cui ha legato il suo nome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La torre si trova a poca distanza dalla periferia del paese, nei pressi della via consolare &lt;a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_Traiana"&gt;Traiana&lt;/a&gt;, ma è collocata in una particolarissima ubicazione che la rende difficile da raggiungere e addirittura quasi "invisibile". La cosa ha dell'incredibile se si considera che la torre, nel suo nucleo principale, è molto alta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La costruzione è maestosa ed antica. E' realizzata interamente in conci di pietra ben tagliati ed è circondata da mura di difesa e costruzioni accessorie. Alcuni studiosi sostengono che essa, anticamente, fosse il nucleo difensivo di un piccolo borgo rurale, ancora in parte riconoscibile osservando le rovine e i numerosi mucchi di pietre "senza un perchè" che si trovano abbondanti attorno ad essa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La torre è stata dichiarata monumento nazionale e devo dire che il riconoscimento mi sembra più che meritato in considerazione del suo ricco "curriculum vitae".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purtroppo la torre si trova in cattive condizioni di manutenzione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Passandoci davanti con la bicicletta l'ho vista deperire anno dopo anno sotto i colpi inferti dal tempo e dai "&lt;a href="http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2002/02/24/raid-nella-masseria-epoca-due-arresti.html"&gt;collezionisti di antichità&lt;/a&gt;" che da essa hanno asportato, senza troppa cura, interi portali in pietra, stipiti, mensole e basole pavimentali gigantesche. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Recentemente ho conosciuto un componente della famiglia Pasculli de Angelis, proprietaria della tenuta agricola nella quale è ubicato l'immobile, e con un gruppo di amici ho finalmente visitato l'intero complesso di fabbriche (torre, mura di difesa, costruzioni accessorie, cisterne nascoste).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Ho scoperto tante cose interessanti che non avevo mai notato, eppure erano lì da sempre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Sul degrado degli immobili mi è stato raccontato di alcuni tentativi di recupero tentati in passato, sempre vanificati dai vandali e dai visitatori senza invito. Che peccato! Del resto questo infausto destino colpisce molte importanti costruzioni che si trovano in campagna. Scrivendo questo pensiero ricordo la miserevole fine di Villa de Ilderis, splendida costruzione settecentesca con annessa cappella dedicata a Santa Margherita, situata nelle vicinanze di Torre di Spoto. Penso anche ad altre antiche fabbriche ricadenti nel circondario come Torre Carrieri, ridotta ad un rudere e Torre di Cela, anch'essa piuttosto malmessa. Mi rattrista doverne prendere atto ma non posso fare altrimenti: &lt;i&gt;il degrado degli immobili culturali nelle nostre campagne è una regola&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;Sarebbe auspicabile un intervento radicale, magari un riutilizzo di queste strutture che salverebbe le stesse dal degrado e dalle razzie perpetrate dagli ospiti indesiderati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per oggi basta, mi sono stancata. La prossima volta vi racconto un po di storia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-e6G6oeIKI/AAAAAAAAADk/gIj0lIobjAU/s1600/obelisco+carolino.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-e6G6oeIKI/AAAAAAAAADk/gIj0lIobjAU/s320/obelisco+carolino.JPG" tt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una delle quattro lapidi poste sull'obelisco carolino, eretto a seguito della vitoria spagnola nella battaglia di Bitonto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5589504984119388815-7244609250588647181?l=torredispoto.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/7244609250588647181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5589504984119388815/posts/default/7244609250588647181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://torredispoto.blogspot.com/2008/06/torre-di-spoto-fortezza-dimenticata.html' title='Torre di Spoto, fortezza dimenticata'/><author><name>Nonna Rosa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15095234769430964287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eApO5WihqNY/S-e6G6oeIKI/AAAAAAAAADk/gIj0lIobjAU/s72-c/obelisco+carolino.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
