L'Aquila
Funds for projects of the Emperor Frederick II of Swabia around 1230 under the name of Aquila, Aquila degli Abruzzi became in 1861 and in 1939 by decree of the Ministry of the Interior, L'Aquila.
According to some researchers, the intentions of its founder, Frederick II, the city would be the new Jerusalem, and for a more recent theory (due to Luca Ceccarelli), the most important buildings of the city were constructed so as to repeat the pattern of the constellation Aquila. L'Aquila is a unique city is unique in medieval Italian, born not by chance but for the project according to a harmonic pattern that has no precedent in the history of urban architecture (a similar case in 1703, was the birth of St. Petersburg) . Was formed by the union of several villages in the area (99, according to local tradition), each of which constitutes a district that was linked to the mother-village and was considered part of the same for about a century. However, the Kabbalistic link between the city has even more intimate aspects related to sacred geometry and numerology. The coordinates of the center city (the Cathedral) measure latitude 42.21 ° - longitude 13.23 ° (the sum of its parts whole and decimal is 99). In the new state town of castles urbanized citizens within the walls (intra moenia) and those who remained home in castrates (extra moenia) maintain the same civic rights and use of collective properties, such as pastures and forests. The Middle Ages The first city council was composed of the mayors of villages and the city had its own legal existence recognized until the reign of Charles II of Naples, who appointed a Camerlengoquale responsible for taxes, which, thereafter, were paid by all city as such, whereas, previously, were paid by individual villages, each of which included the district built in the city. Later, the Camerlengo also gained political power, becoming chairman of the city council (which had various names and composition over the centuries). The city, autonomous but under the sovereignty of the kingdom of Sicily and the kingdom of Naples the first onwards, except for a brief period when it was part of the Papal States, was ruled by a council composed of diarchy and Captain Royal, which was added in the fourteenth century, Count Peter Camponeschi Lalle said that, as a private citizen, became the third side of a new patriarchs. Previously, the city had become almost a rule under Nicholas Island, Knight of the People, but then massacred by the people when his power was beginning to outgrow. Even Camponeschi, Chancellor of the kingdom of Naples, as well as feudal count of Montorio al Vomano and almost "lord" of L'Aquila, eventually killed, but this time, by order of Prince Louis of Taranto. The third and last "lord" of the city was Ludovico Franchi, who challenged even the popes hosting Alfonso d'Este, Ferrara kicked out, and the sons of Giampaolo Baglioni, the last ruler of Perugia. However, when his power began to become too large, the Aquilani, always jealous of their freedom, complained to the King of Naples, depose and imprison him. The city, which was the second of the realm of power and wealth, began to decline in the sixteenth century when the Spanish Viceroy Filiberto of Orange, after having devastated, separated it from its countryside, introducing the Spanish feudalism and depriving it of its autonomy.
