St. Peter at Crepacore Church
Google translation: The square-shaped building was built (according to scholars, between VI and VII century) with local stone blocks (carparo), irregular cutting, probably removed for reuse, from the remains of a village of Roman times Located in the area following recent archaeological excavations. This element gives the building a compact and massive external appearance. The façade of the building is characterized by an all-round bow portal supported by two columns of rocks; On the back there is a low apse, marked by two very simple slopes and a double bottom that allows the enlightenment of the indoor environments. The interior is divided into three naves delimited by columns with Hellenistic reuse bricks, which come from Roman-era buildings, which support low-end arches. The central nave is covered by two lower domes placed on the axis, leaning on high drums. Small monoforexes are present in the upper part of the surface walls. The side aisles are characterized by ragged half-times. The church rests on the remains of small houses with dry walls of II-III sec. B.C. On the inner walls there are valuable frescoes that the scholars [1] link to two distinct cultural backgrounds: longobard-beneventan art in the first and byzantine art in the second span and on the apse walls. Along the lower edge of the latter, a dedicatory Greek inscription was recently discovered: "This temple was built for the remission of the sins of God's servant ... and his companion Veneria and their children Amen." Around the church was uncovered a necropolis that dates back to the 7th century AD. This dating allows us to hypothesize the first church building at the same time.

More About Italy

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.Text by Steve Smith.
