Topic: Scaligeri


In the News (Tue 22 Dec 09)

  
  Scaliger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The last representatives of the Scaligeri lived at the imperial court and repeatedly attempted to recover Verona by the aid of popular risings.
After the Scaligeri had been ousted, a member of the family, Giulio Cesare Scaliger, made a reputation as a humanist poet.
The church of Santa Maria Antica is surrounded with the tombs (arche) of the Scaligeri in the form of Gothic shrines, or "tempietti", enclosing their sarcophagi: Can Grande della Scala is memorialized with an equestrian statue; Can Signorio by a marble Gothic monument by Bonino da Campione, 1374.

 Short description of Verona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Thus the family rule of the Scaligeri clan established itself, and within a century Verona became the prestigious capital of a state that at the height of its power included most of the Veneto region and reached even as far as Tuscany.
During the Scaligeri domination Piazza dei Signori was built next to Piazza delle Erbe (with the Palace of the City Hall and the Scaligeri palaces) and, around the end of the domination, St. Martin’s Castle (today’s Castelvecchio).
After the fall of the Scaligeri family, in 1405 Verona forsook itself to the Republic of Venice, that kept his rule over the city and his territory until the French invasion of 1796.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Verona
A very fine public piazza is that known as the Erbe, the ancient forum of the city, surrounded by imposing and historical residences--the Palazzo Maffei, the Mazzanti, once the residence of the Scaligeri, the Case dei Mercanti (1210), the Casa della Fontana (tenth century)--and an ancient statue known as the Verona.
In the middle of the piazza is the tribune where, in the Middle Ages, trials used to be held.
The court house and the prefecture were formerly palaces of the Scaligeri; the Council Building, the old Municipio (1476), has a tower (the Civica) 272 feet high.
