	Canossa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canossa is a former castle of Matilda, Countess of Tuscany, situated in the foothills of the Apennines, in the province of Reggio Emilia and about eighteen miles from Parma.
		The pope had prohibited lay control over the placing of clergy in the church (particularly the investiture of bishops) and, by securing the forgiveness of Pope Gregory VII, the emperor was also securing the imperial power that had been jeopardized by his excommunication.
		Canossa should not be confused with Canosa in Apulia in the south of Italy.

	Canossa
		At its close, again, the series of supreme artistic achievements, starting with the architecture of churches and public palaces, passing on to sculpture and painting, and culminating in music, which only ended with the temporary extinction of national vitality in the seventeenth century, was simultaneously begun in all the provinces of the peninsula.
		That is Canossa—the alba Canossa, the candida petra of its rhyming chronicler.
		With her expired the main line of the noble house she represented; though Canossa, now made a fief of the empire in spite of Matilda's do-nation, was given to a family which claimed descent from Bonifazio's brother Conrad, a young man killed in the battle of Coviolo.

	How Castiglione Read Cicero. by Jennifer Richards.
		Canossa's allusion to those two famous orators, for example, helps us to understand an alternative source for sprezzazura and a rather different reading of the elitism of book 1, one which is more inclusive and critical of the kind of "mysterious" courtliness of Fregoso.
		Canossa's odd style of argument, which enables his critique of "naturalness" in his discussion of eloquence, is a core aspect of the rhetorical structure of book 1 and is integral to our experience of reading it.
		Canossa's invocation of courtly sprezzatura is commonplace to us now, perhaps too commonplace, for it is easy to ignore the context in which this strategy is unveiled, that is, a debate concerning nobility and the lineal source of courtly gracefulness.

		Nel 1797 i Canossa si trasferirono a Venezia all'approssimarsi delle truppe francesi al comando di Napoleone Bonaparte, in lotta contro il Piemonte e l'Austria, ma vi fecero ritorno appena la calma fu ristabilita con le armi.
		La Canossa, da coloro che chiedevano di fare parte della sua famiglia religiosa esigeva vocazione certa, distacco completo dal mondo e spiccata inclinazione per le opere esterne in cui, diceva, "l'unico sollievo è lavorare e consumarsi per amore di Dio".
		Nel 1820 la marchesa di Canossa ospitò a Verona, per alcuni mesi, Giuseppina Margherita Rosmini, desiderosa di dar vita a un'opera di assistenza educativa a Rovereto sotto la guida del fratello Antonio.

		At the invitation of Matilda, countess of Canossa (Matilda of Tuscany), a strong supporter of the papacy in the Investiture Controversy, Gregory VII stayed at the fortress in 1077 while on his way to Germany to take action against his opponent, Henry IV.
		To forestall his deposition, Henry journeyed to Canossa as a simple penitent and, on January 28, after waiting for three days, received absolution.
		Though this did not mark any lasting victory for the papacy, the name Canossa became associated with the submission of the secular power to the church; hence Bismarck's dictum, during Prussia's Kulturkampf against Roman Catholic influences in Germany: “Nach Canossa gehen wir nicht” (“We are not going to Canossa”).
