It seems strange that a village as Piaggiasecca, today 13 people, including 2 with less than 3 years, may have origins so far. But the proof here it is, the fund un'amfora - say a trifle - but a sure sign. I found rummaging in a moregene (dialect to indicate where the peasants at the bottom of the fields, piling the stones came to the surface during plowing) in the bottom of the Plain of the Little House 25 years ago (see photo ). So I was keen, as now, to make sense of this village, from which the events of the first study and the work then I had moved away long ago. For so many years I believed that he lost this finding important but - you know - but do not hide the house and steals, so after some removal and some restructuring, I found myself in a box.
In the decade between the early 70s and early 80s tried to Piagiasecca elements of the story: at the papal Inventory (maintained by the Chamber of Fabriano ' State Archives, at least until some twenty years ago ) at the Land Registry Disappeared (then there was a section of the provincial Fabriano containing documents dating back to the land registry system that is about 1885), at the Parish of Casalvento (whose parish books of baptisms, marriages and deaths dating back to mid-1600, were transferred from the 70s in the Archives of the Bishop of Fabriano), at the 'Archives of the agrarian community of Casalvento and Piaggiasecca (kept in a box wood at the president, then, was my father) and, of course, place.
Not that there were exceptional documents, but given the lack of attention to a "village" as part of our scholars, I could be sure that whatever we could find was indeed the "original", that is not compromised for purposes hagiographic as was the location for major species at the beginning of 1900, in a kind of run-up to demonstrate noble and ancient origins, as was the case or Arcevia Ostra Vetere.
So I found a map of the Land papal Piaggiasecca of 1812 (State Archives), the dislocation of family property, which was quite a collection zone (the cease Cadastre: the fats to the east, the Bani in the west, Locci the north, in addition to the properties of families today no longer exist), the genealogy of families from mid 1600 until early 1900 (in the parish books, for example: you Scrollini accaso Piaggiasecca in the middle of 1700 coming from Tuscany ), the date of 1208 which was resolved by judicial proceedings for one of the many properties of a mountain ridge The Wedge, in dispute between the two farming communities of Casalvento-Piaggiasecca Rucce still alive and in the recent cut in 2005 that, at least, proves the existence of two communities already by that time (from the box of the President of the Community of Casalvento-Piaggiasecca) and naturally, the physical findings.
I shot the ground floors of buildings Piaggiasecca and found many vaulted ceilings recessed in cut stone, I found the old entrance door with Gothic arch cut stone (as in Gubbio), many clusters of plants isolated in the middle of fields, which originally were to be the case, then abandoned and, finally, I found, turning the fields far and wide, the bottom of jar that you have seen, whose origin is unmistakably Roman, but I also found some fragments of bricks, the quality of the dough, are very likely to ascend to a period where the labor force for the screening of the clay was at a good price (the slaves Romans?) since the stuffing is fine and no calcinelli, as I have found fragments of brick, in contrast, have a much less refined mixture in which there are empty, a sign of mixing hasty, and in abundance calcinelli , indicating that the screening was done with clay cruder methods (evidence of late Roman or early medieval?).
I have not expanded the research to other neighbors in Little House, namely Casalvento, Colmic and San Felice, for which I have no way of reflection, but it is possible that after the fall of Rome, and especially after the defeat of Totila , King of the Ostrogoths, which took place in the plain of Monterosso Station ( at Sassoferrato), roughly in the sec. VI and VII and the arrival of the Lombards in sec. VII, the inhabitants of the plain of the Little House will be scattered Redistributions in neighboring cities, around the time of Charlemagne that is in sec. IX. And
Piaggiasecca Casalvento and it seems that it went well. For
San Felice do not know, since it seems (at least with regard to the church, whose entrance looking west, typical Mode of the Counter-namely the 1600) to be of much later origin.
A separate, then, should be made in language, dialect or rather on those who can find a place in ancient culture. Sanzio Balducci, a professor at the University of Urbino, has admirably traced the border of some phonemes that argues in favor of the membership of Piaggiasecca area north of the Marche (Fabriano while, and it Rucci, belong to the area south ) and that the Roman region of Umbria (by then occupara Gauls ) (see: The dialects , Sergio Anselmi (c.), in The province of Ancona - Story of a territory , Bari, Editori Laterza, 1987, pp. 273-284).
If fate is against us - would say read the subtitle of main blog - it's worse for him. The memory of things far comforts us and gives us encouragement to fight against forgetting even in remote places like this, with the mountains on the border of Marche and Umbria.
