Panni, Apulia

Panni (Irpino: ) is a village and "comune" in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.
Geography.
The town of Panni is located on the top of Monte Sario (Mount Sirius), at 801 m a.s.l. in the Daunian Mountains. The municipal area is between the valley of the Avella stream, which forms the western border with the municipality of Savignano Irpino and that of the Iazzano stream, which runs on the eastern border with the municipality of Bovino. Both the Avella and the Iazzano are tributaries of the Cervaro River that delimits the municipal territory to the north, separating it from that of the town of Montaguto. The southern border is instead delimited by some rugged mountainous reliefs belonging to Monte Crispignano.
The hill position ensures a cool climate in summer, which makes Panni a destination for vacationers from all over the surrounding area, locally known and named the Capitanata.
""When the heat is burning down in the Tavoliere, up in the Pan plateau you can enjoy the coolness."
(E. Passarelli)"
Etymology.
In the late Middle Ages, the village was mentioned as Pandi or Panda. The origins of the name would refer, by popular tradition, to that of the Greek god Pan, who also appears in the coat of arms of the town. According to some, it could also derive from the Samnite divinity of the crops: Panda (Patana Pistia), which was related to Ceres, if not the same divinity. Other possible derivations come from the Germanic or Lombard Pando, or from the Latin adjective pandus (curved), to refer to some element of the landscape, has also been proposed.
History.
The first mention of Panni is in land registry documents of 1406. In 1494, the short-lived Alfonso II of Naples gave it to Parretto de Ponte and Giovanna de Orenga.
Since prehistoric times (with findings from the Middle Paleolithic) the Cervaro Valley was an essential passage through the Italian peninsula between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas. The valley between Bovino (Vibinum) and Savignano Irpino (Sabinianum) constituted - by the local population - a critical point of easy control against invaders. In 109 A.D. the emperor Trajan promoted the construction, on an older route, of the Trajan Consular Road which connected Benevento to Brindisi.
The first text on the history of the town is Giuseppe Procaccini's "Historical notes on the land of Panni". This book, although dated, contains many of the important information for a truly difficult historical reconstruction, for a battered town from disastrous earthquakes.
On the external walls of the mother church, Maria Santissima Dell' Assunta, there are traces of frescoes and graffiti ranging from the late Republican Roman period to the early Christian period ( the 1st century BC to the 4th century AD), as evidenced by recent discoveries.
Although inhabited at least since Roman times, the oldest written documents have been found in the State Archives of Foggia and in the National Library of Naples and date back to the year 1118 A.D.
In the village there are few but important traces as a Templar settlement (XII-XIII century). Such evidence is on a door that is mainly Romanesque and has decorations on its portals, with the presence of baphomet, griffins and graffiti.
It was ruled by the Spaniards and was part of the Fiefdom of the Guevara family, until the unification of Italy in 1867, which saw the town among the great opponents of the Piedmontese. Although a land of banditry, the town sacrificed many of its inhabitants to its homeland in the two world wars, and suffered various migratory flows, mainly towards the Americas, as well as in Australia and Europe (20th century) and towards other parts of Italy (from 1960 until the present).
Monuments and Memorials.
Religious Architecture
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary Assumed into Heaven, the Mother Church is the most important Pannese monument. The church houses a white Renaissance marble statue of the Virgin of Loreto, a baptismal font, also in white marble, two eighteenth-century altarpieces, statues of the saints and some altarpieces from more recent eras as well as the Adoration chapel. Along the external wall of the bell tower there are some early Christian graffiti, while inside there are others from the Templar period.
The other churches in the town are those of San Vito and San Pietro (locally called “del Purgatorio”). To these must be added the modest little Church of Calvary (locally called the Church of the Five Crosses).
In the municipal territory of Panni there is also the sanctuary of the Madonna del Bosco with an adjoining monastery, dating back to 1503. The complex, located at the foot of Monte Crispignano, would have welcomed Saint Alfonso de Liguori on his travels between Campania and Puglia.
Military Architecture
In the upper part of the historic center there is a panoramic walk, called 'Il Castello'. Along this pedestrian path on the crest of Monte Sario, the remains of a wall of a watchtower, constructed during the Spanish occupation, from the early sixteenth century stand out (in local dialect called "Lu Zitemelòne "), within which a small window has been carved.
The tower has been reconstructed several times due to earthquakes over the centuries and the form seen today is what has remained throughout modern years.
This promontory is well known by many of the area for its views and by para gliders due to the consistent winds that blow from the north-east and can be seen over the town during spring and summer.
From this height, one can look north to the isolated mountain massif of the Gargano, made of a highland and several peaks and forming the backbone of the Gargano Promontory projecting into the Adriatic Sea, the "spur" on the Italian "boot" and east to the provincial capital city of Foggia and its plain and further to the port city of Manfredonia, the Gulf of Manfredonia and the Adriatic Sea.
Civil Architecture
"A glimpse of Panni
"
Some ancient fountains around Panni date back several centuries and have various medieval and Renaissance inscriptions (they are Fontana di Sant'Elia, Fontana di Mata, Fontana Vecchia, Fontana Nuova, Fontana Alambicco).
Also interesting is the war memorial with a bronze statue of Victory holding a flame, which is to resemble the American Statue of Liberty in form.
The architectural keystones of the portals [9] are interesting, the result of the artistic skills of the Pannesi stonecutters, handed down over the centuries.

Phara

Phara () was an ancient Greek city located in the region of Acarnania.
History.
The only ancient source that mentions the city is the "Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax", which lists the πὸλις (polis) Φαρά between Leukada and Ithaca. Hansen and Nielsen place it in Leukada and identify the settlement with the current Pyrgi. Others note that Pseudo-Scylax orders Phara after Leukada and if he had wanted to classify it as a Leukadian "polis", he would have said the island had two "poleis". Thus, Phara could be one of the small islands between Leukada and Ithaca or be located on the coast of Acarnania in the "perea" of Leukada. If this interpretation of the text of the "Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax" is accepted, it would have to be classified as an unlocated polis of Acarnania.

River Moy

The River Moy () is a river in the northwest of Ireland.
Name.
Ptolemy's "Geography" (2nd century AD) described a river called Λιβνιου ("Libniu", perhaps from *"lei"- "flow") which probably referred to the River Moy.
The Moy is first named in Adomnán's Life of Columba (c. 700) as "Modam fluvium". Later spellings include "Muaide, Muadam, Múed, Múaid"; the name "An Mhuaidh" is used in modern Irish. The name is possibly derived from the Old Irish word "muad", meaning "noble."
Geography.

For the greater part of its length, it flows southwestward, entering County Mayo and passing near Swinford before passing through Foxford then turning north near the village of Kilmore and heading for the town of Ballina, where it enters the Atlantic Ocean at Killala Bay.

The entrance to the River Moy from an 1860 chart, showing turbulent water over the bar.
Economics.
The river was once among the best salmon fisheries in Europe; however, in recent times, drift net fishing off the coast caused a huge decline in salmon numbers. According to central fisheries board statistics, 101,231 returning salmon were taken by drift nets off the west coast of Ireland in 2005. In the same year, 29% (6,675) of all rod-caught salmon in Ireland were taken in the Ballina district as a result of a weir which keeps salmon trapped in the ridge pool near the mouth of the river during the summer. Drift netting for salmon was banned in November 2006 and the ban came into force on 1 January 2007.

Haukivesi stretches from Varkaus to Savonlinna in a northeast–southwest direction. The northern part is shallow, at less than , but deepens toward the southeast, up to at Kuivaselkä.
Most water flows from the east, through Tappuvirta, Oravikoski and Haponlahti locks. A smaller inflow is from the north, through Pirtinvirta in Varkaus. Of the lakes in the Saimaa lake system, Haukivesi receives the most nutrients. The water quality varies with location, because of the differences between the water qualities of the inflows. In Haukivesi, more nutrient-rich water flowing from the north mixes with purer waters from the east. The largest individual pollution sources are the city of Varkaus and its pulp mills, although smaller settlements and diffuse pollution from agriculture and forestry contribute. The lake was heavily polluted by the pulp mills up to the 70s, but stricter regulation forced the mills to treat their wastewaters, and thus the lake recovered.
The southernmost part of Haukivesi is Haapavesi, and most of its southern shoreline is covered by the city of Savonlinna. Water flows via Matarinsalmi sound into Haapavesi, from where it flows through several channels into the Pihlajavesi part of Saimaa.
Linnansaari National Park is located in the middle of the lake. The name "Haukivesi" means "pike water", and indeed, the lake is known as a good place to catch pikes, in addition to bream, perch and zander. However, there are restrictions on fishing because of the national park and protection of the endangered Saimaa ringed seal.
