It should be remembered, in fact, the very place where now stands the town of Cimitile, in Roman times was occupied by a necropolis (the term itself seems to derive from the Latin Cimitile Coemeterium, graveyard). And that in ancient times this was the place where Nola buried not only their deaths , but their first bishop and other martyrs including a highly revered saint: San Felice. On his tomb was built one of the first Christian memories with the erection of a mausoleum in honor of square shapes.
But now we explore in detail the initiatives planned in the early Christian Cimitile in the week ending May 24. From May 19 to 21, in the central area of the basilicas will be held educational workshops and restoration of bronze casting, an activity directed to schoolchildren bells, in collaboration with the “Foundry Judge” Nola. Still, May 22 there will be the screening of the best Italian short films , followed by delivery of the prize “Corto Cultural Classic” , the award for the excellence of the performance, in collaboration with the cultural association of the same name.
It continues May 23 with the paths of sensory architecture, the Basilica of St. Thomas and finally, on May 24 , with the grand finale of the Cultural Festival Award 2014 Naples Classic.
