Temple-Theater of Monte San Nicola, Casertano, Italy

Discovered accidentally by Nicolino Lombardi while flying in his ultralight helicopter, the Temple-Theater reveals a compelling story of historical intrigue dating back to the late Ancient Roman Republican period, possibly around the 2nd-1st century BC.

This remarkable archaeological site, hidden for centuries beneath overgrown vegetation, has sparked scholarly debate about whether the complex was built by Roman architects or indigenous Italic tribes like the Samnites.

Situated at an elevation of 410 meters in the scenic Sannio area, the presence of nearby tombs suggests that it fell out of use by the 2nd century AD. If the dating is accurate, the construction of the temple-theater coincided with Rome's victories over rivals such as Carthage and conflicts with local enemies.

Positioned strategically to overlook key northern routes, the complex likely represented Rome's growing power in the region.

Similar to the Samnite theater at Pietrabbondante, this structure symbolizes Rome's control over the Italian landscape, reflecting ancient rivalries and ambitions.

LE STREGHE DI BENEVENTO - BENEVENTO WITCHES (Non leggere se hai paura delle Streghe - Don't read if you scare about Witches)

A Benevento le "Streghe non esistono". Nonostante tempo fa si dicesse vi si radunassero da tutta Italia. Nonostante la memoria della loro presenza sia ancora viva e tramadata. Memoria di riti e usanze emerse dalla storia contadina che continuano nell'ombra ad alimentare il mito della "Città delle Streghe".

Eppure a Benevento le Streghe non esistono, come insegna @januamuseodellestreghe che ne ha fatto passione e ricerca. Non importa che un celebre liquore dal color zafferano sia divenuto portabandiera della città anche grazie a questo suo nome, "Strega" (Stessa azienda ideatrice dell'altrettanto celebre @premiostrega).

Le Streghe non ci sono e non si possono nominare, perchè se distrattamente le chiami per nome...poi non te ne liberi più!

Shhhh!

Ma se trovate un albero dalle lunghe fronde, attorno a cui si dice si radunassero, forse noterete ancora qualche traccia delle loro danze notturne. Io ne ho trovato uno magnifico, ritratto qui nel mio taccuino per la serie "Viaggi e Villaggi". ( Illustrazioni di viaggio per raccontare luoghi meno noti in Italia e fuori confine).

In Benevento the "Witches do not exist". Although the memory of their presence is still alive and narrowed. Memory of rites and customs that continue in the shadows to feed the myth of the "City of Witches".

Yet in Benevento the Witches do not exist, as teaches "Janua - museo delle streghe" who has made of that passion and research.

It doesn’t matter that a famous saffron colored liqueur has become the city’s flag bearer thanks to its name, "Strega". Because if you distractedly call them by name, then you don’t get rid of them anymore!

But if you find a tree with long branches, around which they are said to gather, perhaps you will still notice some trace of their night dances. I found a magnificent one, portrayed here in my notebook for the series "Viaggi e Villaggi". (travel illustrations to tell less known places in Italy and abroad).

Really - not discovered until about 2000!

A Temple-theater complex discovered only at the beginning of the 2000s in Monte San Nicola, in Pietravairano of Caserta province. Lying at 410 meters high in the Sannio area, dates back to the late Roman Republican period, 2nd-1st century BCE.

Il PROFILO DELLA "BELLA DORMIENTE" - THE "SLEEPING BEAUTY" PROFILE

Il Massiccio del Taburno - Camposauro "riposa" imponente e indisturbato nel territorio del Sannio segnando il confine tra la valle caudina e la valle beneventana.

Per la gente del posto la sua sagoma si allunga come una donna distesa dalla cima più alta del Monte Tiburno alle altre, una "bella dormiente" che cattura lo sguardo, a cui affidare i propri pensieri.

Qui "ritratta" con un intreccio di pastelli. Un disegno sul Taccuino della serie #viaggievillaggi per raccontare in immagini luoghi meno conosciuti in Italia e fuori confine.

The Taburno - Camposauro massif is sleeping quiet and imponent in the Sannio territory, in the Campania region, defining the imaginarian line between the "caudina" and "beneventana" valleys.

For the locals his profile can remind a sleeping woman, a beauty that magnetize the eyes and relax the mind.

Here is portraied with a pastels dress. A travelsketch for my "Viaggi e Villaggi" serie to narrow with images the less known places of italy and other countries.
