THE DELIVERY OF THE PLATES ON THE
Ch.mo
Prof. Donato Donato Valli Valli, born in Tricase is certainly character to read and remember multiple dimensions :
- for a career as a lecturer at the University of Salento where you, as well as Professor of Modern and Contemporary Italian Literature, Rector and certainly long after Giuseppe Pisanelli Codacci wished that the University of Lecce, founded and directed , the Rector that the most positively affected the same;
- his love for his land and his best sons, of which decades has been able to outline the literary legacies, providing invaluable work over the years;
- for his commitment, for which Donato Valli was never closed the pure scholar in the traditional ivory tower, but was involved in social and in political life, not hesitating to expose himself in person;
- to be always has been, despite the residence of Lecce, a true tricasino, which has kept the characters mood, the outspoken and sometimes impetuous soul, sincerity always evident even within literary discourse, rhetorically but never built.
Donato Valli And there have been high in both academia and awards as well as civil, and above all he is not missed the affection of his countrymen.
The Section of the Society of National History Tricase for Puglia, a company which is an honorary member, and which section was one of the promoters and the first President, intends to show the esteem and affection towards him with a Plaque of Merit in light of what seems to me one of his most precious deliveries, which is obviously too early to draw conclusions because he was still happily and profitably focus.
I like the headlines of several monographs Donato Valleys: Essays on twentieth century Italian poetry (1967), Romagnosi between reality and history and Manzoni (1969), Anarchy in the Italian poetry and mysticism the Early Twentieth Century (1973), Girolamo Comi (1977), History of hermetic (1978), Life and death of the "fragment" in Italy (1980), Poets and prose writers salentini between nineteenth and twentieth century: Giuseppe Gigli and documents of culture ( 1982), One hundred years of literary life in Salento (1985), A candle for Our Lady (The university secret) (1992), home of Air (1994), all of my university (1995), Emigrant to love. Cardinal Giovanni Panico (1998), home of Air (1999), From fragments to artistic prose (2001), history of dialect poetry in Salento (2003) and of course the poetic works of Girolamo Comi edited by Valli (1977) , the writings on Vittorio Bodini, Nicholas G. De Donno, Jeremiah King, Francis Rubichi, Vincenzo Ampolo, and so on.
Now, who notes the variety of scientific output that can not see how the analysis of Donato Valli, beyond a few themes, such as the examination of the fragment, which permeate all his scientific thinking, he is focused with clarity and intellectual curiosity, on showing its benefits, multi-layered poetic and content, of prose writers and poets, and especially southern Salento, handing the history of our literature and works of men intended to otherwise disrupt the flow of history. He wrote that the history of twentieth-century literature Salento. Not only that. He has been able to at the same time - and this should be on - set in large pages the story of his rectory, so as to provide material of great importance for the history of educational and cultural institutions. For these reasons, the Plaque of Merit with Donato Valli was born as a debt of gratitude to a Distinguished Scholar whose existence, in many ways, it coincides with that of the Salento.
Dr. Marina Cosi retires to his father John, who was absent for health reasons.
Ill.mo Prof. Giovanni Cosi
Born in Arigliano, village of Gagliano del Capo, John So has devoted his life to the school and laborious archival research.
Sub-Lieutenant Bersaglieri during World War II, he taught for forty years in middle and high schools of the state, always with honesty and probity of conduct.
But from 1960 to date has been and is a tireless gleaner, wallet, card stock analyst, both state and church, so that the same, a prestigious post he covered, Honorary Inspector of the Superintendent of Antiquities and of Monuments, does not fully grasp that he has acquired in attendance of the State of Lecce, in addition to the parish, which allowed him to bring to light events and forgotten names always illuminating with a Comment dry but rigorous, but never abundant clear: I would say essential, as are his writings where nothing is useless or of ancillary content. I am
trace, never to be neglected, the volume of maritime Towers Terra d'Otranto (1989), The Notary and Pandette (1992), Lecce I noticed the sixteenth century (1999), Fragments of History Salento between 500 and 700 ( 2001), Chronicles of Salento Cinquecento (2006) and numerous contributions in collective volumes.
They are an inexhaustible mine of which the protagonists are sonnets and smuggling, agreements and wills, and Acchiatura disputes, booksellers and table clocks, palaces and chapels, feudal lords of ancient lineage and congregations and religious orders (the Dominicans to the Capuchins, the Carmelites), menhirs and dolmens, summaries and rumors, colleges and churches sold to private builders and Spadari, goldsmiths and slaves, doctors of medicine, philosophy and law, even a ghost ship, for not to mention bulky shadow of Emperor Charles V and the philosopher Giulio Cesare Vanini.
And all this through an investigation that crosses and utter confusion in the Salento, from Lecce to Parabita by Gagliano in Tricase, Leuca, Hello, Alessio, Fields, Morciano, Tauranga, Castro, Corsano, Galashiels, and so on. There is no corner of Salento, or rather piece of paper, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century that John So has not recovered, brought back to light, explained, once again, reconnected, made clear. Men
park in saying, John So has his work actually carried out a search of Salento which states, in a positive way, baroque, ranging wherever possible, carefully but firmly pointing out various links, references, referrals, return, indicating always courtesy and safety, becoming therefore an irreplaceable reference point for archival research Salento.
For these reasons, the Department of Homeland Tricase Society History of Puglia, which has seen among its initial supporters made clear they want to recognize the merit of investigator irreplaceable, that of a man who really did, for profit of all, the archive perhaps most loved to dwell.

Forty But Alfredo is not only a man of school and studies that are connected to this world (his volume The school full time in San Cassiano di Lecce, 1982, the educational message of Joseph Monteduro, 1997, but it is also a historical of his land (Marittima, a town of Salento, 1994) and a writer in the description of the real truth blends unobtrusively but decisively with the exhortation educational (Missions War, 1998; The case of India, 2003).
In Indeed, in the volumes of Alfredo Quaranta, written with grace, pleasure and historical attention, clearly reflected the spirit of the educator who knows the facts show not for themselves but for what they have meaning and can mean, explaining their best size for a better life.
In this respect, Alfredo Forty actually belongs to the ranks of the masters in Republican Catholics have known for decades of work with balance, optimism and serenity, not only by transmitting the necessary knowledge useful for life, but to form character, which is the ' fundamental aspect for which the teacher can not be confused with other professions.
