▌ Alla scoperta di Otricoli
#BELLAUMBRIA
{“translation”:[{“lang”:”it”,”content”:”Otricoli, il cui nome, Ocriculum in età romana, è equivalente ad Acropoli, ha origini probabilmente umbre. Inizialmente posta sul colle dove sorge l’attuale Otricoli, la romana Ocriculum giace nel fondovalle, vicino al Tevere, dove esistono numerosi ruderi di edifici pubblici conosciuti fin dal Rinascimento.
Sede diocesana fino al VII secolo, in quel periodo torna sul colle originario per rimanere quasi indenne attraverso i secoli. Innanzi tutto vi viene costruita una chiesa, importante esempio di architettura preromanica e cuore del paese. La storia di Otricoli è determinata dalla sua importante posizione strategica che le conferivano alcuni importanti privilegi. Stazione postale sulla via Flaminia fin da epoca classica, partecipò attivamente alla vita della strada.
Per essa passarono e sostarono spesso Papi e sovrani ma talvolta anche eserciti in transito che le recarono più volte danni e distruzioni. Da visitare, oltre al già citato sito archeologico di Ocriculum, il palazzo comunale e la collegiata di S. Maria Assunta con l’annesso Antiquarium. Da non perdere, quaranta giorni dopo Pasqua, l’Infiorata del Corpus Domini, con l’annessa Rassegna Teatrale e la Sagra dei Prodotti Tipici.
“},{“lang”:”en”,”content”:”Otricoli, which was called Ocriculum meaning “Acropolis” during the Roman era, is probably of Umbrian origin. Initially situated on the hill where the modernOcriculum rises up, the Roman Ocriculum moved to the bottom of the valley near the Tiber river, where many ruins of public buildings known since the Renaissance period still exist.
After having been a diocesan seat until the end of the 7th century, at this time the town moved back to the original hilltop, to remain nearly immuted during the centuries. Above all, a church, important example of pre-romanic architecture and heart of the town, was erected. Otricoli’s history is due to its important strategical position, which conferred on it several important privileges. Having been a post-station along the Flaminia Road since classical times, the town took an active part in the life along the Road, on which, apart from Popes and Sovereigns, sometimes passing armies, travelled and sojourned; the latter causing damage and destruction in several instances.
Apart from the already mentioned archeological site of Ocriculum, the Town Hall and the “collegiata” of St. Maria Assunta with the Antiquarium, merit a visit. Taking place 40 days after Heaster, the Feast of the “Infiorata of the Corpus Domini” with its theatrical exhibition and the fair of typical local products should not be missed.

“},{“lang”:”fr”,”content”:”Otricoli, dont le nom Ocriculum à l’époque romaine équivaut à Acropolis, a des origines probablement ombriennes. Initialement situé sur la colline où se trouve actuellement Otricoli, la romaine Ocriculum gît sur le fond de la vallée, près du fleuve Tevere, où il existe de nombreuses ruines d’édifices publics connues dès la Renaissance.
Siège diocésain jusqu’au VII siècle, à cette époque la ville retourne sur la colline d’origine pour rester pratiquement indemne à travers les siècles. Une église est construite, important exemple d’architecture pré-romane et cour du village. L’histoire d’Otricoli est déterminée par son importante position stratégique qui lui confère quelques privilèges importants. Gare postale sur la voie Flaminia déjà à l’époque classique, elle participe activement à la vie de la voie.
Ici passent et s’arrêtent souvent Papes et souverains, mais aussi parfois armées en transit qui lui provoquent plusieurs fois des dommages et des destructions. A visiter, en plus du site archéologique d’Ocriculum déjà mentionné, le palais communal et la collégiale de Ste. Marie Assunta avec son Antiquarium. A ne pas rater, quarante jours après Pâques, la Floraison du Corpus Domini, avec l’Exhibition Théâtrale et la Foire des Produits Typiques.
