Tower Ravaschieri Satriano is the "Place of the Heart" the most votes in Calabria
The efforts in recent months by the Archaeological Group "Paul Orsi "Soverato trying to save the ancient" Tower Ravaschieri "Satriano Marina (CZ) has borne fruit, judging from the rankings just released by the FAI (Italian Environment Fund), which, on the occasion of its fifth census , has promoted the now famous initiative "The Places of the Heart" , Time reporting and recovery of cultural and environmental heritage little known or in a state of neglect.
The tireless work undertaken to raise awareness and collect signatures from all members, has led to a coveted 12th place in the national rankings, well over 14,555 locations indicated, and even in the first place in the region, for a total of 8,493 subscriptions.
satisfaction of the promoters of those who have joined the campaign with their signatures and the City Council of Satriano - who sponsored the initiative - is fueled by real opportunity to convey, according to a result so striking, the 'attention the FAI and the economic contribution made available by Banca Intesa S. Paul, to a rapid restoration and recovery of the tower and its surrounding landscape.
no coincidence, in fact, the choice to report this very building, among the many in need of protection and enhancement in the Calabria area of \u200b\u200brelevance, can be explained primarily by the poor state of preservation in currently facing - at imminent risk of collapse and plagued by vegetation and trash - secondly, in relation to the meaning it assumes in relation to the same area where it is located, as a symbol of reconciliation between the towns of the coast and the hinterland, as well as ancient observation point on the Ionian Sea and the civilizations that came from the sea (Photo 1 ).
Ravaschieri La Torre, as well as most of the towers architecture Viceroy (1500-1730), adopts the type of construction typical of the period, which makes it instantly recognizable history edification, that is, setting up a square base.
The entrance to the tower is placed, as usual, very high: it is accessed by a ladder, then, was to end in a small drawbridge. On the facades you will find several machicolations (each of the holes through which boiling oil dropped on the enemy or stone-throwing). The interior consists of four overlapping circles, which are accessed through a removable wooden ladders, covered by a roof truss, now completely collapsed following heavy rains that have followed from September 2009 to present.
Attached to the tower was added later, around the end of the nineteenth century., A water mill, it is easily deduced from the type, the wooden remains of the car to the wall of water and sewerage, as well as by ' only surviving mill ( Photo 2:03 ).
In light of the structural elements and documents preserved in the archives of reference, it appears that the tower belongs to the typology Ravaschieri so-called "Cavallara" , that alarm. The term derives from the use of men on horseback, charged in pairs along the coastline between a tower and one assigned to them, warning of possible danger, " Torrieri " by the sound of the horns in their budget, or firing gun shots.
trust the choral participation in the initiative to protect and give the result a driving impetus to the interest of the FAI, the survey projected on a larger geographical area, so as to provide room for further investigation and the necessary intervention restoration and enhancement.
