History.
Early History.
In 1940, excavations on the "Andevei" property uncovered a treasure containing 421 silver coins, most recent of which was minted in 978 AD. Out of the 421 coins, 411 were Samanid, 5 Byzantine, 3 German, 1 Anglo-Saxon, and 1 Bohemian. Remains of iron tools and pieces of earthenware were also found nearby. Based on this, it is speculated that Kehra village was settled at latest by the 11th century.
Kehra village was first mentioned in the Danish Census Book in 1241. According to the book, the village was a part of the "Repel" parish () and had a size of 10 oxgangs (, ). Half of the village belonged to "Lambertus" and the other half to "Stenhackær". The village was baptized either in 1219 or 1220, likely at the same time as the villages of Saunja, Soodla, Aavere, Anija, Kõlu, Pirsu, Kihmla, and Parila. In 1249, Kehra and Paasiku villages were given to the bishop of Tallinn, whose successors later founded the "Fegefyr" manor ().
According to the Swedish land audit of 1564-1565, Kehra village was part of the Kiviloo manor and had a size of 13 oxgangs. Kehra mill("Kedder quarn"), located 100 meters upstream from the current car bridge, in the north-eastern corner of the current pulp and paper mill, was also mentioned in the same audit. It was demolished in 1936.
School.
The first school in the village was established in 1738 but it operated inconsistently. The first school that started operating consistently was opened in fall 1850, a few days before St. Martin's Day, according to a first-hand account. According to the official list of schools in the Estonian Governorate in 1886, the school was founded in 1848. The school was located on the land of the current Koolitoa property. A new building was built for the school on the same property in 1878, because the previous building was in a bad state. According to Gustav Vilbaste, the school's teacher between 1904-1913, the school had three grades and around 30-50 students. The school became a four grade school in 1918 due to a nation-wide school reform. On November 1, 1919, the school started operating in Kehra.
Historical Demographics.
The village's population has mostly stayed between 130 and 200 since the 13th century. In 1565 the village was 13 oxgangs in size. The village was practically uninhabited after the Polish-Swedish war in 1615, while the nearby villages of "Jaunack" and "Karrock" remained practically untouched. The village recovered from the demographic crisis by the second half of the 17th century. By 1660s, Kehra manor owned all the nearby lands, including Kehra village. The manor's lands were ravaged by the bubonic plague in 1710 and 1711, only 14 out of the previous 146 inhabitants survived. The population recovered to pre-plague levels in approximately 40 years. By 1856, Kehra village had transformed from a clustered settlement to a linear settlement.

Burgruine Griffen

The Burg Griffen is a castle on a 130m/427 ft-high limestone mountain above the town of Griffen in the Austrian state of Carinthia.
History.
The castle was built between 1124 and 1146 by order of Bishop Otto of Bamberg. In an 1160 deed, Emperor Friedrich I mentioned "Grivena" as a Bamberg property.
In 1292 the Carinthian nobleman Count Ulrich von Heunburg with support of Archbishop Konrad IV of Salzburg occupied the fort in an uprising against Albert of Habsburg, the son of King Rudolph I of Germany and Duke Meinhard II. However Ulrich was abandoned by his allies and one year later had to leave the castle. In 1759 Bishop Adam Friedrich sold the Bamberg estates in Carinthia to Maria Theresa of Austria and the castle was incorporated into the Carinthian duchy.
About 1520 a large reconstruction of the castle took place as a protection against the threat posed by the Ottoman forces with a base amounted of about 4000 m², though the Turks never laid siege to Griffen. In 1659, lightning struck one of the towers and the decay of the castle began. In 1768 a last religious service took place and about 1840 the roofs were torn.

Location.
The parish stretches from Oliver Plunkett Street in the north to St Patrick's Road in the south and from Sharman Crawford Street in the west to Albert Road in the east.
When used to refer to the residential area, the parts north of the south channel of the River Lee are usually excluded as being part of the city centre. For example, the scope of Cork City Council's 'South Parish Area Action Plan' excludes the parish's city centre areas.
History.
The South Parish is one of the oldest inhabited areas of Cork City. Along with Shandon, it was the first area developed outside the city walls. In the oldest known maps of Cork City, including examples dated to 1545 and 1601, there are structures shown in the area.
There was a Danish settlement in the area that is now Frenches Quay, Barrack Street and George's Quay as early as the 10th century AD. In this area, Keysers Hill still bears a name of Danish origin.
The Red Abbey, Cork's oldest surviving medieval structure, was built in the late 13th or early 14th century. Also in the area is Elizabeth Fort, the current structure of which was built in 1624, to replace an earlier fort dating from 1601.
By 1690, there had been additional development in the area, with the streets that are now Barrack St, Evergreen St, Douglas St, Cove St and Sober Lane distinguishable in maps and lined with buildings. It was in this year that the Siege of Cork took place. Cork was occupied by Jacobite forces who held Elizabeth Fort. They were attacked by Williamite forces from the Red Abbey and Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral. Both located in South Parish, these were the only high vantage points in the area. This siege led to significant damage to buildings in the area, such as the Red Abbey, which was never used for religious purposes again and St Nicholas Church, which was not rebuilt until 1720.
By 1726 all but a small area of the South Parish, designated as 'Gardens', had been built up and by 1750, the development of the area was complete, with any new buildings replacing existing buildings.
The present South Chapel (St. Finbarr's South), the Roman Catholic parish church, was built in 1766. The Church of Ireland church, St Nicholas, was rebuilt again in 1850, although this is now deconsecrated with parish duties merged with the parish of St Fin Barre's cathedral


Cratloe-Sixmilebridge

Cratloe-Sixmilebridge is a parish in County Clare and part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limerick.
Current (2021) parish priest is Richard Keane.
The original name of the parish was Kilfintinian.
The main church of the parish is the Church of St. John in Cratloe, with 1798 mentioned as the start date of the actual building. In later times it was several times enlarged. The church survived a proposal in the late eighties to demolish the church and build a new one. Due to a vocal group of parishioners being against the plan, the barn church was renovated instead.
The second church of the parish is the "Little Church" in Sixmilebridge. This church was built in 1858 as replacement for an thatched church out of 1799. The church has never had an official patron saint. It is likely that the name of the church is derived from a simple comparison with the bigger Church of St. Finaghta on the other side of the town that belongs to the parish of Sixmilebridge in the Diocese of Killaloe.

Lago, Calabria

Lago (Laghitano: ) is a "comune" in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, in southern Italy. It is located 42 kilometers from the city of Cosenza.
Geography and topography.
Lago is located in the mountainous interior of the Cosenza Province, near the slopes of Monte Cocuzzo. Despite being sited in mountainous territory, the higher elevations of the city offer views of the nearby coastline, including Stromboli. It regularly snows in Lago in the winter.
History.
Prehistory and ancient era.
The pre-historic tribe living in Cosenza called themselves the "Itali" and it was from them where Italy drew its name. They called their land, "Viteliu," which means "land of the life-giving calf." Around 500 B.C., these Italic tribes were conquered by and merged into another Italic tribe called the Bretti (Latin Brutti), who named their country "Brettiōn." They were a rebellious offshoot of the Lucanians, and their name may mean "renegades." They spoke Oscan, and named Cosenza (then called "Consentia") as their capital. Around 300 B.C. the region was at its apex of power and culture. Its position – near the Greek and Carthaginian ports, home to a conquering tribe of Lucanians and Brettians, and with decent relations with Rome and the Etruscan cities, meant that it enjoyed great wealth. The Bretti minted elaborate coins, which are sought-after by collectors.
The Bretti and Lucanians were stubborn resistors of Greek culture. Greeks had colonized the coastal cities of Sicily and Southern Italy, but the Bretti and Lucanians refused to yield. Alexander the Great's uncle, Alexander of Epirus invaded Cosenza in 331 B.C. In a battle near Lago, the combined native force defeated his army and killed him.
The Bretti declined in power precipitously after making bad choices against the Roman Republic. After they sided with Hannibal in the Second Punic War, Rome confiscated half of their territory, and insisted on the right to clear cut their forests, which ended up supplying the timber and pitch for Roman fleets.
Rome began settling the families of veteran soldiers in the Cosenza area. Roman colonies were located around Lago in what is now Campora San Giovanni (Amantea), 10 miles from Lago, in 194 B.C., and also in Figline Vegliaturo, San Lucido, and Cosenza. In addition, much the neighboring territory of Amantea proper was given to the Roman people as public land – anyone could homestead there and grow crops. Finally, the Romans also likely located a small military base near Lago, in modern Aiello Calabro. Combined, these mechanisms “romanized” the population.
Middle Ages.
What was likely a small settlement of Romano-Bretti stock existed through the Dark Ages and was not augmented significantly until 1088 A.D. In that year, the Saracens sacked the city of Cosenza, driving the inhabitants into the mountainous interior. The small hamlets around Cosenza saw a population explosion. It is near this date that Lago is first mentioned in copious documents, as the Latin "Lacum." It is likely that the population was further augmented by lowlanders, who understood that mosquitoes do not breed above a certain elevation, as it was also during this time that the low-lying parts of Southern Italy had serious problems with malaria.
In the early Middle Ages, Lago was located in what was likely a border region. The nearby towns, bearing names like Longobardi and Tarifa, likely indicate that the border between Lombard domains and Byzantine territory ran through Lago territory.
Politically, Lago was a domain of the House of Cybo-Malaspina for much of its feudal history.
During the late Renaissance, several churches in Lago were built, some of which are still standing. The church, “Madonna of the Mountains,” built in 1652, is renowned for its architecture and art. Similar to the rest of Cosenza and Catanzaro, Lago was a center of world silk production during the Middle Ages. In the 1753 census of Lago commissioned by the Kingdom of Naples, wealth was counted primarily by how many mulberry trees one owned.
Origin of the Name.
Lago, of course, means “lake” in Italian, but there is currently no lake there. However, the Licetto (“Eliceto,” “Acero”) River turns sharply at the edge of town and has a history of silting up. Lago was likely named after a bulge in the river, much like Lake Havasu, which is not a lake, but a bulge in the Colorado River. The historian Don Cupelli believes that any other theories on the origin of the name are mythical.
Cuisine.
The cuisine of Lago is typical of Southern Italy. Its desserts ("turdilli") and salumi are renowned around the region. Wine production is healthy and varied, with the Magliocco Dolce grape most widely cultivated.

Larciano

Larciano is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Pistoia in the Italian region of Tuscany. The town hall is located in San Rocco.

Larciano borders the following municipalities: Cerreto Guidi (FI), Fucecchio (FI), Lamporecchio (PT), Monsummano Terme (PT), Ponte Buggianese (PT), Serravalle Pistoiese (PT).
Geography.
Territory.
Larciano is located in the Valdinievole area, on the Montalbano slopes and it borders the Fucecchio Marsh.
History.
The name of Larciano results from the latinization of the Etruscan name "Larthial", which was the possessive genitive of the male name "Larth". Larth is the proper name of an Etruscan fighter whose tomb, dating back to the year 340 before Christ, was discovered in 1870 in Tarquinia (a municipality in the Lazio region, Italy). In 941 the toponym was presented as "Arsianus"; as time passed, it was converted into its current name. Another hypothesis focuses on a "praedium" (farm), probably donated to a Roman soldier who had fought in the wars against the Ligurians and who stood out for his courage. It must be pointed out that the Italian ending of words in "ano" is typical of the Roman settlements which arose from a "praedium". Finally, a third hypothesis, even if it appears to be the least probable, states that the toponym derives from "larch" since in the past the area was rich in larch woods.
The history of Larciano is based on the history of the area named nowadays Larciano Castello.
By the middle of the tenth century, Larciano belonged to the Guidis thanks to a donation that Ranieri and Guido, Count Tegrimo's sons, made to the cathedral and to the bishop of Pistoia. Later, the castle situated in Larciano was confirmed to the Guidis by Arrigo VI and Federico II.
In 1225 the sons of Guido Guerra, who was the count of Modigliana (a municipality in the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy), sold Larciano, along with Cecina, Casi and Collecchio, to the municipality of Pistoia for 6,000 lire. Due to its position, Larciano became one of the cornerstones of the defensive system of Pistoia in the so-called “low part of the mountains”. In fact, this denomination used to be referred to the western slope of the Montalbano area: this explains the decision of the city to strengthen its walls and other defense works. In 1302, during the war between the Ghibellines coming from Pistoia against the Guelphs from Florence and Lucca, Larciano was conquered immediately after the surrender of Serravalle. However, in 1310 the town was reconquered together with other territories lost by Pistoia, upon the payment of 10,000 gold florins. Around the year 1391, the castle became a solid base organized by Pistoia and Florence, with the same purpose of protecting themselves by the danger of a possible offensive in Tuscany by Gian Galeazzo Visconti.
In 1401 Florence took possession of Larciano and the whole countryside; consequently Larciano became the seat of one of the four Podestà’s seat in which the territory around Pistoia was organized. Among the Podestà, the most famous was Francesco Ferrucci. Subsequently, Larciano and Serravalle were put together in the same Podestà for the will of the Medici family. In 1772 Serravalle became the sole seat of the Podestà’s seat, while in 1774 Larciano and Lamporecchio were gathered.
It was only on the 1st of July 1897 that Larciano obtained the separation from Lamporecchio and it became an independent municipality. It was composed of the hamlets of Biagiotti, Biccimurri, Castelmartini, Cecina, Larciano Castello and San Rocco, which still houses the Town Hall.

Anthropic geography.
Hamlets.
Larciano is composed of four hamlets: Castelmartini, Cecina, Larciano Castello and San Rocco.
Castelmartini.
It is a residential area characterized by a strong productive component. The original inhabited center, dating back to the end of the thirteenth century when a "castrum Martini Jacobi Admannati" is mentioned in the "Liber censuum," is located west of via Francesca; in the same area there was the ancient hospital of San Donnino in Cerbaia, which has now disappeared and it is remembered through the name of the current church of Castelmartini. The ancient hospital was located not far from the place where Pistoia had a port which connected it with Pisa, through the canals of the marshes. Besides, this ancient hospital was connected to a road of considerable importance that crossed the Montalbano area, thus it was an important accommodation facility in the organization of the territory under the government of the Pistoian municipality. The Parish Church of Castelmartini, built as a chapel around 1200, underwent a radical makeover at the end of the nineteenth century, resulting in a late neoclassical aspect. In the building next to the church, the headquarters of the Centre for Research, Documentation and Promotion of the Fucecchio Marsh is located. Its purpose is to promote initiatives aimed to the conservation and enhancement of the marsh from an environmental and naturalistic point of view, in terms of an area of national and international interest. Proceeding towards the Morette Port, which is a particularly interesting area of access to the marsh, the Villa Poggi Banchieri is situated; it was built by expanding and modifying the ancient Castrum Martini which gave its name to this place.
Cecina.
It is a medieval village with walls and two entrance gates, located on the slopes of Montalbano; its origins are probably Etruscan and perhaps its name derives from the surname of the ancient Etruscan noble family of Volterra "Kaiknas" (in Latin "Caecina"). Within the walls there is the church of San Nicola, whose origins are Romanesque; the external hemicycle of the apse is preserved even if the entire structure has been radically remodelled over the centuries. The interior presents a vaulted roof and a single nave, along with the chapel of San Rosario situated on the left, whose altar dated to1632. In the second bay on the left, within a seventeenth-century frame, an expressive fourteenth century wooden crucifix is exhibited.
Larciano Castello.
It has preserved the urban structure of a medieval village, developed on a sloping terrain, and it keeps the walls of the twelfth century with three entrance gates. The fortress is located at the highest point within the walls. The most important element of the fortress is the high quadrangular tower, from which you can observe a suggestive panorama that ranges from the Valdinievole area to the Lower Valdarno. Inside the fortress there is also a civic museum. The parish church of San Silvestro is characterized by a very simple plan with a single nave. Of medieval origin, this parish church does not provide many traces in the external walls and it has suffered radical transformations over the centuries. The rectory (the former Palazzo Podestarile) is a simple and massive building that looks out on the square, situated on the right of the church. At the centre of the square there is a column supporting the Marzocco, a reminder of the Florentine domination.
San Rocco.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the population, that had settled inside the church of San Rocco since the seventeenth century, had grown considerably. In fact, a great number of people had moved from Larciano Castello to the flat areas, that had been reclaimed, so consequently, free from malaria and arable. The population commissioned the church in the place where there was already a small church dedicated to the Holy Virgin in 1631 when the plague, which had affected the territory of Larciano, was coming to an end and this building was dedicated to the saint considered the protector against evil.
In 1884 San Rocco was detached from San Silvestro from which it used to depend, and three years later it was recognized as a parish. This event marked the beginning and the subsequent development of the town of San Rocco, different from Larciano Alto. In 1897 Larciano obtained the administrative autonomy from Lamporecchio and the centre of San Rocco obtained the seat of the Town Hall, restored and inaugurated in June 1997.
Other localities in the territory.
In Larciano there are other smaller localities, such as Baccane, Biagiotti, Biccimurri, Case di Monte, Colonna, Mungherino and Puntoni.

The tournament of the districts.
The tournament of the districts is an amateur football event that generally takes place during summer and a large part of the residents of Larciano are actively engaged. The current form of the tournament presents six districts competing with each other:
·      District of San Rocco
·      District of Cecina Ponente
·      District of Biccimurri
·      District of Colonna
·      District of Levante

Two rounds of three districts each are drawn lots. The finalists of the previous edition's tournament are placed as seeded in the two rounds. The teams of each round face each other in a single match; the winner of each round goes directly to the semifinals, while the second and third teams will participate in a play-off.
Cycling.
The Larcianese U.C. association embodies the passion of residents for cycling. It organizes the GP Industria & Artigianato di Larciano, a cycling race for professionals that generally takes place at the beginning of March, between the Strade Bianche and the Tirreno-Adriatico.
The Larcianese cycling association was born thanks to Nello Bonfanti, who was the representative of the Salvarani cycling team. Founded the association, Bonfanti became involved in organizing cycling races; so, starting from the early 60s the tradition of the cycling race named "I circuiti degli assi" began in Larciano and it continued until the mid-70s.
This cycling association was recognized nationally and then internationally.
