Seminara of the first 1783 had to be relatively rich in works of art. In the past, during the sixteenth and the seventeenth century, it had to be accumulated some wealth as a result of production of silk, a valuable product in Seminara was one of the main towns in Calabria. The seminary has been weaving silk was necessary because a special privilege, which had only Catanzaro in Calabria. For the rest of the thirst traveled to Naples, where the book of the freshmen silk contains a list of all existing silk merchants in the kingdom. Among these there were Seminara. The list will be given elsewhere. Here we have just identified a major source of that wealth which made possible the artistic treatment of seminars prior to 1783, when the terrible scourge gave a death blow to what had been the principal city of the plain as in the sixteenth century across the Plains today that Joy was the first of workshops like this before that he dettaPiana of San Martino, for the location of this last country the exact geographic center of the Plain.
After the destruction of 1783, the new seminary was rebuilt a short distance away, in the highest position, going up to Mount St. Elias. All that was left was used what they could. The walls have disappeared altogether, except for a cigarette butt left in San Antonio, at the entrance of one of the city gates. This section called "finds" all art objects or evidence that can be traced back to the old seminary without being able to give an indication of where they were documented and exactly what they represent. The churches rebuilt or survivors have become collection centers unaa of these findings and findings of each will be open special photographic section.
But here are grouped all the objects that you have knowledge and of unknown provenance. Since little or no documentation I do not dare to assignments of any kind. Of course, if I have reliable information to back this in the captions to the photos, correcting and supplementing each time that seem appropriate. Since it is not a printed publication is possible at any time a new and better drafting of texts, to which everyone who is able may cooperate.
