Monastero di Cairate

/0 Kommentare/in , , /von

Il Monastero di Cairate è un sito archeologico molto importante. L’imponente restauro è iniziato nel 2000 ed è terminato nel 2013. Pertanto, potrete visitare il Monastero in tutto il suo splendore.

In età romana (I-IV secolo d.C.) Cairate era probabilmente un vicus, un villaggio.

Dalla villa rustica romana al di sotto delle stanze monastiche, ai resti del granaio della villa che veniva usato per l’immagazzinamento di cereali e legumi destinati ai commerci, il Monastero ha parecchi secoli di storia da raccontarci.

Oltretutto, durante il V e VI secolo viene a formarsi una necropoli, della quale possiamo ritrovare diversi oggetti funerari. E tra le varie sepolture, troviamo il “sarcofago di Manigunda”: la nobildonna longobarda fondatrice del complesso monastico.

Per scoprirne di più sulla leggenda di Manigunda e su tutti i “tesori” del Monastero di Cairate, non vi resta che andare ad approfondire di persona!

ARCUMEGGIA (Frazione di Casalzuigno)

/0 Kommentare/in , , /von

hotel ungheria arcumeggia 2Arcumeggia é una piccola frazione del comune di Casalzuigno (Varese) immersa nel cuore verdeggiante della Valcuvia. Oltre ad essere il più noto paese dipinto in provincia di Varese, Arcumeggia è stata la prima esperienza di “Galleria all’aperto dell’affresco” in Italia.

Nel 1956 divenne la sede della manifestazione “Pittori in vacanza”: venivano gli artisti più rappresentativi del pensiero e delle maggiori tendenze italiane della metà del ‘900. Affinché potessero lavorare ai bozzetti dei propri affreschi, nel 1957 fu creata la Casa del Pittore, dove potevano anche pernottare.

Questo progetto viene portato avanti sino ai giorni nostri. Tra i soggetti dipinti appaiono le immagini relative all’emigrazione, raffigurazioni simbolico-allegoriche, ritratti di abitanti e mestieri del paese, intervallate da santi e scene religiose, a cui recentemente si sono aggiunte rappresentazioni naturalistiche e paesaggistiche.

Tra le altre attrattive del paese vi è il sagrato della chiesa dedicata a Sant’Ambrogio, dove si possono ammirare gli affreschi delle 14 stazioni della Via Crucis

Collegiate Church is the best Heart Place

/in , , , /von

In the province of Varese won the Collegiate Church as a Place of the Heart – Diy Tourist Column

Diy Tourist Column

colleggiataThe collegiate church has collected over 8 thousand votes that still have to add paper to be counted at the beginning of 2015. It is positioned to the first place in the province of Varese and the third in the region.

Provisional rankings sees the Church’s Museum at 15th national place Varese. It could mean very for the Collegiata in Castiglione Olona, since most voted sites can access funding to be given.

Although the collegiate church is not an asset of the FAI, the competition launched by the Italian Environment Fund rewards those places that are entered into the hearts of the people and that deserve to be valued most.

Hotel Hungary is pleased to congratulate collegiate friends and neighbours Castiglionesi; and invites you to visit what he considers one of the most precious jewels of our territory.

Discovering the apocryphal Gospels of Castelseprio

Santa Maria Foris Portas Castelseprio – Diy Tourist Column

Rubrica Turista Fai Da Te

santa maria foris portasThe province of Varese is an area steeped in culture. There are many places of historical and cultural interest that a tourist should not miss the opportunity to visit during his stay in Varese.

Hotel Ungheria guides you to discover these magnificent location starting from the Church of Santa Maria Foris Portas in Castelseprio.

The Church, which stands on a hill just two hundred meters from the walls of an ancient castrum, hence the appellation in medieval Latin, is the oldest building in Castelseprio.
Thanks to its frescoes, known as “the frescoes of Castelseprio”, Santa Maria Foris Portas is recognized Unesco World Heritage site.

It is a cycle of paintings, variously dated between the 6th and the 10th century, by an anonymous painter known as the master of Castelseprio, probably Byzantine, an artist who worked for a Greek client, Lombard, Caroling or Milan. The cycle depicts scenes from the childhood of Christ inspired, it would seem, especially to the apocryphal Gospels. This feature makes it a rare example of Lombard art of the highest level, since in Italy are only seven places with this particular type of paintings. These seven Italian locations are part of the serial site named “Lombards in Italy: the places of power”, in writing to the list of UNESCO World Heritage site in June 2011.

The trip to Santa Maria Foris Portas Castelseprio

Hotel Ungheria offers a special package dedicated to the Church of Santa Maria Foris Portas.

Program

  • Arrival date at the Hotel
  • Dinner at Ristorante La Vecchia Varese, an arrangement with us

Hermitage Santa Caterina: cruises on Lake Maggiore

/in , , /von

santacaterinaFrom Laveno to the Hermitage of Santa Caterina by boat

Until 12 October the Navigation System of the Lakes has reactivated the navigation Laveno-Hermitage Santa Caterina, the 14th-century monastery perched on Lake Maggiore.

Although accessible by land, a visit to the charming historic location is even more striking if you come by boat from the Lake.

With a few euros there are several departures to and from Santa Caterina, close-up distances from 9.30 a.m to 6.30 p.m., from wensday to sunday.

According to tradition the monastery was founded by Alberto Besozzi, a wealthy local merchant, escaped to a downpour during the crossing of the Lake, decided to retire on that stretch of coastline and lead you life as a hermit.

After several passages of property and management, the monastery, which from 1970 is of the province of Varese and was held from 1986 to 1996 from a Dominican community, today went to the Benedictine Oblates.
