I diari della Via Francigena -...

Enrico Brizzi, Marcello Fini

Fedeli all'idea che "una strada non domanda altro che essere percorsa" e che lo strumento privilegiato di conoscenza sia l'esperienza diretta dell'andare, Enrico Brizzi e Marcello Fini partono, nell'estate 2006, per percorrere la Via Francigena tra Canterbury e Roma, 1600 chilometri e 33 città sulle orme di Sigerico, l'arcivescovo di Canterbury che per primo tracciò l'itinerario nel 990 d.C. Affrontano, mossi dalla sola forza dei loro piedi, il più importante asse viario dell'Europa medioevale. Camminano sulle orme di viandanti e pellegrini, riflettono on the road sul significato della vita e su quale eredità ci abbia lasciato quell'Europa di mille anni fa, per la prima volta unita nel nome della religione e delle radici culturali. Si chiedono che senso abbia camminare nel XXI secolo sulle tracce di un oscuro vescovo britannico, di masnade armate, di mercanti e falsi bordones mescolati agli autentici uomini di fede diretti verso il sepolcro di Pietro. Sono pronti a raccogliere le parole e le immagini che la strada saprà offrirgli. Al racconto di viaggio è abbinato un ricco inserto fotografico, mappe e un'approfondita guida con tutte le indicazioni per ripetere l'impresa tappa per tappa.

Chola Empire - Masters of the...

Rolf Hedger

The Chola Empire, one of the longest-ruling dynasties in South Indian history, has origins shrouded in legend and antiquity. The early Cholas find mention in Tamil literature and ancient inscriptions, tracing their lineage back to mythical rulers. The Sangam period texts, such as the Pattinappalai and Puranaanuru, speak of the valor and governance of early Chola kings, who ruled over fertile lands along the Kaveri River. However, after a period of decline, the Cholas reemerged as a dominant force in the 9th century CE under the leadership of Vijayalaya Chola, the founder of the imperial Chola dynasty.
Vijayalaya Chola, initially a minor chieftain under the Pallavas, seized the opportunity to establish his rule in the fertile region of Thanjavur around 850 CE. This marked the resurgence of Chola power after centuries of obscurity. By defeating the Mutharaiyars, who controlled the region, Vijayalaya laid the foundation for an empire that would dominate South India for the next four centuries. Under his rule, the Cholas not only expanded their territories but also strengthened their political and military structures. He initiated temple-building activities, commissioning the construction of the temple of Nisumbhasudani in Thanjavur, a precursor to the grand temple-building tradition that would define the dynasty.
His successor, Aditya I, continued the expansion by defeating the Pallavas, thereby establishing the Cholas as a formidable power in the region. This victory marked a turning point, allowing the Cholas to assert their dominance over Tamil Nadu. Aditya I’s campaigns also extended into Kongu Nadu and the northern parts of Kerala, laying the groundwork for further expansion. His administrative policies ensured a stable governance system, which helped integrate the newly conquered regions into the Chola fold.
