The vocal beauty of this church has been heard through the centuries and also through the descriptions of the many travelers who visited these places, which represented one of the stages of the Grand Tour (an integral part of the aristocratic education in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries). Borgia, like Scolacium, was under Byzantine rule, in the tenth, eleventh and fifteenth centuries. This territory was always populated and was chosen by anyone who wanted to dominate Calabria.

Le voci sulla bellezza di questa chiesa ci sono giunte attraverso i secoli e anche attraverso le descrizioni dei molti viaggiatori che hanno visitato questi luoghi, che rappresentavano una delle tappe del Grand Tour (parte integrante dell'istruzione dell'aristocrazia nei sec.

Proprio qui dal 1059 al 1085 visse temporaneamente Roberto il Guiscardo, re normanno di Puglia, Calabria e Sicilia.

Story
L'audioguida racconta la storia, descrive l'architettura e riporta fatti interessanti sulla chiesa. Nel 1072 i duchi normanni conquistarono Palermo ed in Sicilia ebbe inizio un'epoca in cui la cultura di Bisanzio, le conoscenze degli arabi e l'espressività dei normanni si fusero creando un'unità straordinaria. Simbolo di questa sintesi è la chiesa di Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio, meglio conosciuta come "la Martorana". Fu fatta realizzare nel 1143.

Story
The audio guide tells the story, describes the architecture and reports interesting facts about the church. In 1072 Norman Dukes conquered Palermo and, in Sicily, began an era in which the Byzantine culture, the knowledge of the Arabs and the expressiveness of the Normans fused, creating an extraordinary unity. The symbol of this synthesis is the church of Santa Maria dell'Amiraglio, better known as "la Martorana". It was built in 1143.

Story
L'audioguida racconta la storia, descrive l'architettura e riporta fatti interessanti sul Duomo di Monreale. La chiesa fu fondata dal re normanno Guglielmo II il Buono e fu dedicata alla Madonna. La leggenda narra che nel 1174 il sovrano vide una donna che gli indicava il luogo in cui erano nascosti i tesori di suo padre. In seguito al loro ritrovamento, Guglielmo decise di edificare una chiesa in onore della Vergine, completata in meno di dieci anni probabilmente da architetti e da teologi bizantini.

Story
Jane Jacobs is universally recognized as one of the most important figures in American urbanism, and The Death and Life of Great American Cities one of the most important books on cities. However, because of her David-versus-Goliath battles with "power broker" Robert Moses and the urban-renewal establishment, Jacobs has received more attention for being an activist than a thinker, despite having written a list of influential books on cities, economies, and other subjects.

Although this important urban transformation is well documented, the critical role of select Union soldiers turned New York engineers has, until now, remained largely unexplored.

Story
The California gold rush of 1849, created fortunes for San Francisco merchants, whose wealth depended on control of the city's docks. But ownership of waterfront property was hotly contested. In an 1856 dispute over land titles, a county official shot an outspoken newspaperman, prompting a group of merchants to organize the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The committee, which met in secret, fed biased stories to the newspapers, depicting itself as a necessary substitute for incompetent law enforcement.
