22/05 Étape 48 Camponaraya - Ambasmestas

Départ à 6h15 pour cette étape avec 2 variantes à choisir . 32 km .

Températures enfin clémentes avec 8°, c'est le double d'hier, plus de gants et j'enlève le bas (du pantalon pour me retrouver en short).

JP et moi nous prenons le petit déj à Cacabelos ou juste après, au niveau de Piéros (km 8), nous prenons l'option de suivre la route sur environ 2 km, l'autre option nous en rajoute 2. Nous avons déjà une étape de 30km et plus loin un deuxième choix (vers le km 15) nous en rajoutera 2 également... Vous suivez? Les 2 plans illustrent le choix au km 15.

Nous traversons de beaux paysages, montagnes,vignes et nous avons la chance d'avoir encore une belle météo, non négligeable pour le moral.

Nous arrivons ensuite à Villafranca del Bierzo ou d'entrée un imposant château de Santa Maria se dresse devant nous, puis ses 6 églises réparties dans cette petite ville où , à l'heure où nous passons, ça ne se bouscule pas . A la sortie de la ville nous prenons l'option montagne (option km 15), plus longue et plus difficile mais plus belle que l'option vallée qui se cantonne a suivre la route et autoroute.

Les premiers pourcentages tournent autour des 24% (source JP, professionnel de la montagne) mais cela vaut le coup, 12 km de montée et descente en passant par Pradela ou nous irons déjeuner et goûter le gâteau de châtaignes car en passant j'ai remarqué une belle culture de châtaigner. Nous redescendons ensuite dans la vallée pour terminer notre journée sur Ambasmestas.

Belle journée de marche avec de la bonne fatigue qui nous insistera a faire une sieste réparatrice avant de déguster une bonne bière.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT LAWRENCE OF BRINDISI Feast Day: July 21

"Nos cum prole pia, benedicat Virgo Maria." (Mary, with Her loving Son, bless us each and every one.)

One of the greatest preachers of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, Lawrence was born Giulio Cesare Russo, on the feast of St. Mary Magdalene - Brindisi, a city located in the Apulia region at Kingdom of Naples in the year 1559. Showing an early gift for oratory, he was always the one chosen to address, in accordance with the Italian custom, a short sermon to his compatriots on the Infant Jesus during the Christmas festivities. He is raised by a family of Venetian merchants. At the age of 16, he entered the Capuchin Franciscans in Venice, receiving the habit, and changed his name from Cesare to Lawrence.

An accomplished linguist, in addition to his native Italian, Lawrence could read and speak Latin, Hebrew, Greek, German, Bohemian, Spanish, and French fluently. While still a deacon he preached the Lenten sermons in Venice. After his ordination at the age of 23, he became famous throughout Europe as a forceful preacher. He also wrote many theological books and worked for the conversion of the Jews. Lawrence was elected superior of the Capuchin Franciscan province of Tuscany at the age of 31, and appointed definitor general in Rome for the Capuchins in 1596.

Pope Clement VIII assigned him the task of preaching to the Jews in the city. His knowledge of the Hebrew language was of great help in this regard. Beginning in 1599, Lawrence was sent to establish the Capuchin convents in modern Germany and Austria as a barrier agent in Lutheranism, furthering the Counter-Reformation and bringing many Protestants back to the Catholic faith. He also founded friaries in Vienna, Prague, and Graz.

On account of of his holiness, he was named the imperial chaplain of the Christian forces sent by Rudolph II (Rudolf II), Holy Roman Emperor, and successfully recruited Philippe Emmanuel, Duke of Mercœur, against the Ottoman Turks, who were threatening Hungary. Before the Siege of Székesfehérvár (Stuhlweissenburg) in 1601, though the Christians were outnumbered four to one, he gave a rousing address to the troops. Then he himself rode a horse before them, armed with the crucifix in his hand. The Turks were defeated and Europe was saved.

At their chapter of 1602, Lawrence was elected vicar general of the Capuchin friar, at that time the Order's highest office, whom he administered with energy and charity. Despite his fervent apostolate, Lawrence was a man of prayer and learning. He entered the service of the Holy See, becoming papal nuncio to Bavaria. After serving as nuncio to Spain, he retired to a monastery in 1618, and was recalled as a special envoy to the King of Spain regarding the actions of the Viceroy of Naples in 1619, and after finishing his mission, died in Lisbon, Portugal on July 22, 1619 - his 60th birthday.

Beatified by Pope Pius VI on June 1, 1783 and canonized a saint by Pope Leo XIII on the feast of the Immaculate Conception in 1881, Lawrence's remains were entombed at the Poor Clares' Convento de la Anunciada (Convent of the Annunciation) in Villafranca del Bierzo, Spain. Because of his creative yet orthodox writings on the Virgin Mary and for his commanding erudition in, and harmonious presentation of, Scripture, patristics, and fundamental theology, Pope St. John XXIII proclaimed him a Doctor of the Church in 1959.

Lawrence of Brindisi is the third Franciscan Doctor of the Church, along with Saints Bonaventure and Anthony of Padua, and, unfortunately, one of the least well-known.

Sanchez vs. Court of Appeals

FACTS:

The sole child of Juan Sanchez and Maria Villafranca is Rosalia Lugod. Her father had the petitioners, who are now adults. Rosalia requested letters of administration for her mother and father's inheritance after Maria Villafranca passed away. Juan Sanchez passed away before the proceedings could come to an end. Rosalia objected to a petition for letters of administration of Sanchez's assets brought by his illegitimate offspring.

With the aid of their attorneys, Rosalia and the father's illegitimate children signed a compromise agreement on October 30, 1969, in which they agreed to divide the possessions. Four drafts later, they finally did. On January 19, 1970, however, petitioners demanded that Rosalia deliver a shortfall of 24 hectares or toss the settlement agreement. They argued that the arrangement was unlawful since the court had not given its blessing. Later, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding on April 13, 1970.

ISSUE:

Was the compromise agreement valid even without the approval of the court?

HELD:

Yes. According to Article 2028 of the Civil Code, a compromise agreement is a contract whereby the parties agree to mutual concessions in order to avoid litigation or finish one that has already been started. It is a consensual contract, therefore it is complete upon the parties' convergence of thought. Judicial approval is not required for this. Given that the contract was signed only after four drafts, the parties must have entered into it consciously. When they learned the compromise deal contained mistakes, they even engaged into a memorandum of agreement that revised it. This demonstrates unequivocally that they agreed to the deal voluntarily.

Business of Art | Making it Work Outside of New York City

How to cultivate your creative practice and career where you live and beyond.

New York City has a wealth of resources for artists and creative consumers alike, yet there are also challenges associated with being a working artist here, including a high cost of living and limited opportunities for affordable workspace. As much as we love our city (New York Foundation for the Arts’ office is in Brooklyn, after all), for the purposes of this post, we’re focusing our lens outside of city limits to examine how you can best cultivate your creative practice and career.

Develop your goals as an artist.

We talked to three artists who have exhibited widely both within their local communities as well as internationally: Jan Harrison (Recharge Foundation Fellow ’19), who after living in Cincinnati for many years settled in Kingston, NY, two and a half hours away from Manhattan, and Kim Bishop (IAP Mentor ’19) and Luis Valderas (IAP Mentor ’19), who in addition to being artists, co-founded the 3rd Space Art Gallery in San Antonio, TX.

Bishop and Valderas emphasized that it is important for working artists to “have a clear vision of your goal as an artist, then be ready, and be professional.” Artist-centered professional development and entrepreneurial training programs can help you define your artistic vision as well as short and long term goals. In addition to reaching out to your regional or state arts councils for opportunities, several national organizations offer both in-person or remote learning options, including NYFA Learning and the nonprofit organization Creative Capital. Harrison also echoed the need for artists to be proactive about finding opportunities and cultivating their careers, “Find your own way; don’t just try and fit within an established art world. Be creative about how you are going to exhibit your work.”

Be involved in your local arts community.

As a working artist, be involved in your local arts community where you can find like-minded artists and creative professionals to share resources, exhibit work, and learn about new opportunities. Outside of New York City, arts communities tend to be smaller and tight-knit, yet they are often more accessible to new artists. Harrison suggested that artists “go to local openings and studio visits as much as possible, and find connections that aren’t necessarily in the arts, but that have shared passions.” As you discover artists and organizations nearby that you respect, sign up for their mailing lists, follow them on social media, and participate in their programming as much as possible.

“Be prepared to share your knowledge through mentorship or teaching because you have to show how art is valuable to your community,” emphasized Bishop and Valderas, “Be active in the development of art policy in your city.” Search Americans for the Arts’ Arts Service Directory to find your local arts agencies; Americans for the Arts also lists an advocacy toolkit for individuals and information about current legislation affecting the arts on their website.

Be part of the broader arts community, too.

Arts writers and collectors tend to be clustered around international arts centers, such as New York City and Los Angeles, so seek out opportunities to develop connections in those places while still living and being active in your local arts community. Stay up-to-date with industry-related news in your discipline, including reading local and international arts and culture publications and following artists you admire on social media. Develop a strong digital presence, including a website with professional-quality images of current work and previous projects, and maintain active social media accounts. Harrison explained that some of her exhibition opportunities in the United States and in Europe came from relationships that started through various forms of communication, including global environmental and animal activism, as well as social media. She also maintains many personal and professional relationships in New York City and beyond.

In addition to a strong digital presence, Bishop and Valderas recommended that artists develop relationships with academic institutions, join professional associations and participate in their conferences, and apply for residencies to make connections outside of their geographic region. They also advised that artists can “develop your network outside of the community by traveling as well as hosting.”

Find open calls online on NYFA’s Opportunities & Services page, NYFA Source, the Alliance for Artist Communities Residency Directory, and discipline-specific resources such as Common Field, Poets & Writers, and Theatre Communications Group. National visual, performing, and literary conferences that artists and industry professionals both attend include convenings by the Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP), Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), and the College Art Association (CAA).

As an artist, find opportunities to channel your creative energy both within and outside your local arts community to raise your visibility, learn from peers and mentors, and build lasting relationships across the diverse populations of arts enthusiasts in this country and abroad. “Think locally, regionally, and globally,” said Harrison, “You can do all three.”

Eleanor of Toledo (11 January 1522 – 17 December 1562):

“Eleonora Álvarez di Toledo was the second duchess of Florence and married Cosimo I de’ Medici in 1539. She was born in Léon, Spain, and then moved to Naples in 1534, when her father, Don Pedro Álvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alba and Marquis of Villafranca, became Viceroy of Naples. Her mother, Maria Osorio Pimentel, was connected to the Spanish ruling household, and so Eleonora received a traditional Spanish upbringing. Eleonora had eleven children, including five sons, and contemporaries celebrated her fertility. The marriage between the ducal couple appeared to be a very happy one. Eleonora traveled with her husband frequently to their various palaces and villas across Tuscany, enjoying hunting, fishing, riding horses, and gambling. Apart from the production of children, Eleonora was a wealthy landowner who traded in commodities such as grain. The duchess acted as regent at least four times during her marriage, because of Cosimo I’s absence during war (1541, 1543) or illness (1544–1545). The longest period of Eleonora’s regency was between 1551 and 1554, while Cosimo I was away fighting the War of Siena. Eleonora was duchess of Siena from 1559 and together with her husband made a triumphal entry into Siena in 1560. Eleonora was a great patron of art, employing Agnolo Bronzino to decorate her private chapel and paint a series of portraits of her. (…) Eleonora was often ill with tuberculosis from the 1550s, and she died on 17 December 1562 after contracting a malarial fever along with two of her sons, Giovanni and Garzia, who both had died shortly before her.”

Villa Valguarnera Villafranca a Bagheria, Villa Palagonia a Bagheria, Piazza San Domenico a Palermo, Statua di San Giovanni Nepomuceno, Tutte opere del domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli (Palermo 1659 - Palermo 1725).

Nel mio precedente post su Novelli ti ho parlato di come prima del grande terremoto del 1689, già in Sicilia i pittori, i principi e baroni che creavano ed usavano l’arte, fossero molto attenti alle novità provenienti, tra una guerra e una pestilenza, dall’Italia. Dobbiamo notare come molti studiosi del Barocco siciliano, pur riconoscendo l’originalità delle opere, sottolineavano la loro similitudine con opere simili del nord Europa, dell’ Austria o Baviera. Può apparire strano questo accostamento anche se in effetti, all’inizio del 1700 la Sicilia era governata dal trono d’Austria. C’è però un filo rosso che legò a quel tempo la Sicilia architettonica a Roma e all’Austria della Middle Europe. Questo filo rosso fu il frate domenicano Tommaso Maria Napoli. Padre Tommaso, nato a Palermo da una famiglia di orafi, pur entrando in convento si dedicò agli studi di architettura e presto, nel 1688 fu a Roma per poi arrivare a Vienna e quindi ad occuparsi della ristrutturazione della cattedrale di Dubrovnik fino al 1711. La frequentazione di Vienna gli permise di entrare nelle grazie di Eugenio di Savoia, una personalità importantissima per l’Austria e la Spagna di quell’epoca. Eugenio, generale dell’esercito austriaco non era solo un brillante comandante, abituato a sconfiggere eserciti grandi il doppio del suo, ma era anche un esteta, un amante dell’arte e dell’architettura. Ad ogni battaglia vinta riceveva dei premi in denaro così grossi che si poteva permettere di comprare ville e castelli o ricche collezioni di libri. Padre Tommaso entrò nelle grazie dell’invincibile condottiero e quando tornò in Sicilia nel 1711, nessuno aveva una reputazione e delle conoscenze più grandi delle sue ed apparve chiaro che solo lui potesse essere l’Architetto del Regno. Per questo motivo i nobili più potenti delle Due Sicilie, come i Valguarnera-Villafranca e il principe di Palagonia Ferdinando Francesco I Gravina y Cruyllas, gli commissionarono le loro ville a Bagheria. Quest’ultime rappresentano il meglio della cultura architettonica dell’epoca con richiami a Bernini e alle grandi ville austriache, contenendo inoltre richiami alchimistici ed esoterici molto di modo tra la nobiltà dell’epoca. L’ultima opera di padre Tommaso fu la risistemazione di piazza San Domenico a Palermo e la realizzazione dell’unica statua di San Giovanni Nepumuceno esistente sull’isola. La statua del santo boemo San Giovanni Nepumuceno, alquanto inconsueto nel firmamento dei santi locali siciliani, fu commissionata dal capitano austriaco del Castello a Mare di Palermo, il conte Ottocaro di Starhenberg che probabilmente, non fidandosi della tranquillità del mare di fronte al castello, penso bene di far erigere la statua del suo compaesano San Giovanni Nepumuceno, che, come pochi sanno, è il protettore di chi sta per annegare. Più Middle Europe di cosi…

In my previous post on Novelli I told you about how, before the great earthquake of 1689, already in Sicily the painters, princes and barons who created and used art, were very attentive to the news coming, between a war and a plague, from Italy. We must note how many scholars of Sicilian Baroque, while recognizing the originality of the works, emphasized their similarity with similar works from northern Europe, Austria or Bavaria. This combination may seem strange even if in fact, at the beginning of the 1700s Sicily was ruled by the throne of Austria. However, there is a red thread that linked architectural Sicily to Rome and to the Middle Europe at that time. This red thread was the Dominican friar Tommaso Maria Napoli. Father Tommaso, born in Palermo tin a family of goldsmiths, while entering the convent he devoted himself to architectural studies and soon, in 1688 he was in Rome and then arrived in Vienna and then took care of the renovation of the Dubrovnik cathedral until 1711. His attendance in Vienna allowed him to enter into the good graces of Eugenio di Savoia, a very important personality for Austria and Spain at that time. Eugenio, general of the Austrian army, was not only a brilliant commander, used to defeating armies twice his size, but he was also an esthete, a lover of art and architecture. With every battle he won he received such large cash prizes that he could afford to buy villas and castles or rich collections of books. Father Thomas fell into the good graces of the invincible leader and when he returned to Sicily in 1711, no one had a reputation and knowledge greater than him and it became clear that only him could be the Architect of the Kingdom. For this reason the most powerful nobles of the Two Sicilies, such as the Valguarnera-Villafranca and the Prince of Palagonia Ferdinando Francesco I Gravina y Cruyllas, commissioned their villas in Bagheria from him. The latter represent the best of the architectural culture of the time with references to Bernini and the great Austrian villas, also containing alchemical and esoteric references very fashionable among the nobility of the time. Father Tommaso’s last work was the rearrangement of Piazza San Domenico in Palermo and the construction of the only statue of San Giovanni Nepumuceno existing on the island. The statue of the Bohemian saint San Giovanni Nepumuceno, quite unusual in the firmament of the Sicilian local saints, was commissioned by the Austrian captain of the Castle upon Sea in Palermo, Count Ottocaro di Starhenberg who probably, not trusting the tranquility of the sea in front of the castle, he think well to have the statue of his fellow countryman San Giovanni Nepumuceno, who, as few know, is the protector of those who are about to drown. More Middle Europe than this …

Seca: Agricultores do Sul queixam-se que ainda não tiveram acesso a ajudas por animal

O presidente da ACOS -- Associação de Agricultores do Sul, Rui Garrido, criticou hoje o Governo por os produtores pecuários ainda não terem tido acesso às anunciadas ajudas por animal, devido à seca, com 2022 quase no fim.

Na sessão oficial de abertura de um congresso luso-espanhol em Cáceres, na região da Estremadura (Espanha), Rui Garrido aludiu à seca e considerou “manifestamente insuficiente [o] pacote de ajudas por animal” preparado pelo Estado português.

E, além disso, esse apoio “peca por tardio, uma vez que estamos no final do ano de 2022 e os agricultores ainda não tiveram acesso a esta anunciada ajuda”, criticou, sem mencionar diretamente o Ministério da Agricultura, tutelado por Maria do Céu Antunes.

Na sua intervenção no arranque oficial do III Congresso Luso-Espanhol de Pecuária Extensiva e Desenvolvimento Rural, de caráter bienal e que nesta edição tem como tema “Sustentabilidade Garantida”, Rui Garrido lembrou que o evento, que decorre hoje e na sexta-feira, acontece num contexto internacional difícil.

“Em plena guerra na Europa, após uma pandemia e ainda com a seca bem presente em vastas regiões do sul da Península Ibérica”, que “continuam a provocar grandes estrangulamentos ao desenvolvimento da agropecuária, fruto dos aumentos brutais dos fatores de produção”, vincou.

Para o presidente da ACOS, sediada em Beja, “é fundamental e urgente que as políticas nacionais e comunitárias reflitam a defesa do mundo rural”.

Para tal, “é fundamental desfazer tabus, mal-entendidos, desinformação, lobbies”, até porque a pecuária extensiva, em que o gado pasta em herdades povoadas de montado (azinheiras e sobreiros), um complexo ecossistema agrossilvopastoril, “é uma das práticas agrárias mais antigas da humanidade”, frisou.

“É um dos mais relevantes exemplos de bem-estar animal, com o pastoreio dos animais ao ar livre” e “contribui para a mitigação das alterações climáticas, uma vez que é um contribuinte fundamental para a fixação de carbono do solo e, consequentemente, para a biodiversidade”, destacou.

Rui Garrido disse ainda que, “através das suas atividades a montante e a jusante, tem um papel fundamental para o combate ao despovoamento e à desertificação”.

Face às alterações climáticas e secas recorrentes, o dirigente português considerou “vital” a construção de “um sistema hidrológico de dimensão ibérica”.

Na mesma sessão de abertura, Ángel Villafranca Lara, presidente das Cooperativas Agroalimentares de Espanha, também aludiu ao “menosprezo” com que é tratada a pecuária extensiva por parte de setores da sociedade e da política, quando, afinal, concentra “sustentabilidade”.

“Há uma palavra de moda que praticamente todos utilizamos: sustentabilidade. Desde os automóveis até empresas que nada têm a ver com o meio ambiente falam que são sustentáveis. Pois bem, há sustentabilidade no território” com pecuária extensiva, disse.

“Mas é preciso começar pelas pessoas” e “há que fazer rentável a sustentabilidade”, porque esta “não pode ser uma entidade abstrata” para se “visitar pontualmente aos fins de semana”, sustentou o responsável espanhol.

O congresso em Cáceres, que conta com cerca de 450 participantes espanhóis e cerca de 150 portugueses, é coorganizado pela ACOS, União dos Agrupamentos de Defesa Sanitária do Alentejo, Cooperativas Agroalimentares de Espanha e Federação dos Agrupamentos de Defesa Sanitária Ganadeira (FADSG).
