# Madonna di Pietraquaria

**Madonna di Pietraquaria** (Italian for **Madonna of Pietraquaria**) is one of the titles by which the Holy Virgin Mary is venerated as the Patroness of the city of Avezzano, in Abruzzo, Italy. On 1 January 1978, *Maria Santissima di Pietraquaria* ("Most Holy Mary of Pietraquaria") was proclaimed the patroness saint of the city of Avezzano. The Virgin Mary is celebrated with events and religious rites between 25 and 27 April.

Pope Gregory XVI granted a canonical coronation towards the venerated image on 16 September 1838.

## History

### Origins

The cult is related to the presence of the medieval town of Pietra Aquaria (literally "water stone") on the top of Mount Salviano since the 10th century. Here, as attested by Pope Clement III's 12th century bull, there were three small religious buildings: Saint Peter, Saint John and Saint Mary. In this church a painting depicting the Virgin with Child was located.

In Middle Ages Pietraquaria was an important independent fief of the Countship of Albe, as it can be desumed from the Catalogue of the Barons of 1187 and by the same 12th century Papal bull. In 1268 the fortified town suffered the devastation at the hands of Charles I of Anjou's army who, following the victory of the Battle of Tagliacozzo, wanted to take revenge on the hamlets whose inhabitants sided with Conradin of Hohenstaufen's Ghibellines. Thus the inhabitants scattered in Mount Salviano hamlets were forced to go down and gather at Pantano, in the square later dedicated to Saint Bartholomew near contemporary Avezzano, together with the peoples from other villages and Albe, which was also plundered by the Angevins.

Religious tradition reports that the Madonna's image remained for centuries within the ruined church of Mount Salviano, and was recovered following a miraculous encounter on Mount Salviano between a young deaf-mute shepherd and the Virgin, which caused the reconstruction of the church.

According to the work *Historiae Marsorum* by Muzio Febonio, in 1614 there was the complete reconstruction of the religious building, which was enlarged compared to the original church, as it was recorded in the subsequent affidavit for the Madonna's coronation by notary Pietro Orlandi.

### Marian apparition

Oral tradition has brought a story to the present day, about a deaf-mute shepherd boy from Avezzano to whom, while pasturing the flock on Mount Salviano and gazing at the waters of Fucino, the Madonna appeared dressed in white on a mule. She addressed him in tender words, which the deaf-mute miraculously managed to hear, and asked him to have her church rebuilt by Avezzanese people. The shepherd boy came down running from Mount Salviano, and as soon as he reached Avezzano went to the parish priest, whom he told what the Holy Virgin had recommended, that is, to restore the Church of Saint Mary and worthily replace the sacred image onto the altar.

The Chapel of the Apparition situated along the *Via Crucis* on Mount Salviano preserves the print that the Madonna's mule carved in the stone with a blow of his hoof before disappearing with the Virgin. The reconstruction of the church occurred in 1614 and the cult of the Virgin of Pietraquaria grew among all the inhabitants of Avezzano.

### Miracles

The Madonna di Pietraquaria is traditionally credited with numerous miracles, owing to which the image was solemnly crowned by the Vatican Chapter in 1838:

* The liberation from drought on 27 April 1779 after a penitence procession, therefore the Madonna's annual feast was established on that day (previously the Madonna di Pietraquaria was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of May). In that year the population of Avezzano had serious difficulties because of a long drought which caused several problems and a shortage of food. The inhabitants of the town incessantly prayed the Madonna, whom on 27 April they took in procession from the sanctuary dedicated to her on Mount Salviano to the town centre. When the procession entered Naples Street a miraculous storm occurred that broke dryness, allowing the population to look after crops again with the necessary vigour. In the same year, thanks to the offerings and donations from Avezzano citizens the sacred building was enlarged and the veneration grew with it.
* The liberation from the French invasion in the early 19th century.
* The liberation from the sack of Avezzano by the same French to eliminate the brigands who had occupied it in the early 19th century.
* The cessation of flood waters in 1836.
* The liberation from cholera in 1837.
* On 27 April 1944, Anglo-American Flying Fortresses took off to raze to the ground Avezzano, then an important railway junction. That day, a thick fog covered the city and therefore the Allied forces headed towards another place.

Besides, at the Sanctuary of Pietraquaria, visitors can admire about one hundred ex votos, exposed in the Confraternity's dedicated rooms and donated by those who in the past believed that they had received blessings from the Virgin Mary of Pietraquaria.

### Icon

The small Church of Saint Mary in the medieval nucleus of Pietra Aquaria contained the painting depicting the image of the Holy Virgin. The historical events of the Battle of Tagliacozzo, which occurred in the Palentine Plains between Charles I of Anjou and Conradin of Hohenstaufen, led to the destruction of the village of Pietra Aquaria and obliged inhabitants to gather at Pantano, in the plain where contemporary Avezzano lies. After the destruction operated by the Angevins the image of the Virgin remained miraculously intact between the ruined walls of the church. The painting on wood, originally in a Byzantine style and the work by an unknown author, was modified in the early Risorgimento period.

The Madonna is depicted standing, dressed in red with a blue coloured, star-studded mantle; she supports the Jesus Child with her right arm while keeping his feet with the palm of her left hand. The Child appears naked while blessing with the three fingers of his right hand and gently keeping a hem of his mother's mantle. Following the coronation occurring in 1838, two golden diadems were placed upon the statue.

### Coronation of the icon

On 16 September 1838 the solemn coronation consented to by the Vatican Chapter in Saint Peter's occurred. In 1891, after further enlargements of the sacred building, the *Confraternita di Maria Santissima di Pietraquaria* ("Confraternity of Most Holy Mary of Pietraquaria") was established, officially recognized by the Diocese of Marsi. On a pedestal, placed on the Mount Salviano pass, a small bronze statue depicting the Madonna stands; a plaque commemorating the coronation was posted by the Avezzano *Pro Loco* (local promotion association) in 2013 in accordance with the local Confraternity.

## Confraternity

The Confraternity of Most Holy Mary of Pietraquaria was established by the Bishop of Marsi Monsignor Enrico De Dominicis with an episcopal bull on 8 June 1891. The Confraternity of Pietraquaria began its activity on 27 September 1891 devoting wide spaces to evangelization, education, activities of assistance and charity in order to follow the teachings dictated by the Vatican Council II.

## Feast of the Madonna di Pietraquaria

Every year the patronal festival lasts for three days from 25 to 27 April. On 25 April the traditional Pietraquaria Fair takes place, which is organized by the Assessorship of Productive Activities of the Avezzano municipality. There are hundreds of exhibitors and nonprofit organization along the streets of the town center. During the fair CIDEC (Italian Confederation of Dealers and Shopkeepers) organizes the local antiques street market in the central Risorgimento Square.

Since 1870, on 26 April at dusk the so-called *focaracci* are kindled in all the town districts. They are devotional bonfires in honour of the Madonna di Pietraquaria, similar to the Beltane bonfires. Around them popular and religious songs and small music concerts are performed. According to a legend the tradition of *focaracci* arose from a dispute between the populations of Avezzano and Cese about whom merited the Virgin's protection. From the top of Mount Salviano the Madonna turned towards the city of Avezzano to look at the bonfires that were lit by Avezzanese people in order to draw her attention.

Prior to the 1915 earthquake, on the day of the celebrations in honour of the Madonna the Contest of the *Solco Dritto* ("Straight Furrow") took place, where local farmers challenged each other with the plough and oxen to trace a furrow from Torlonia Square to the slopes of Mount Salviano. A commission was called to determine the best furrow.

During the 1992 civil celebrations the *Corsa dei Fuochi* ("Race of Fires") was organized: it was a foot race competition, which saw the participation of several teams representing the Avezzano districts, competing for the city banner, and of several Marsica teams, competing for the Fucino banner.

Religious rites are held on 27 April, officially recognized as the patronal holy day of Avezzano. Every year the statue of the Virgin is taken in procession going down the *Via Crucis* of Mount Salviano, and then reaching the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew along two urban routes which alternate from year to year, according to the confraternity organizing the rite.

In the Marian month of May the custom remains of going to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Pietraquaria on foot at dawn, through the Mount Saviano trails.

In 2017 the Madonna di Pietraquaria has been proclaimed the patroness of Marsica runners and racewalkers.

# Thayaht

**Thayaht** was the pseudonym of artist and designer **Ernesto Michahelles** (1893–1959) best known for his revolutionary design of the TuTa and his involvement with the Italian Futurist movement.

## Early life

A mixture of British, German, Swiss and American origins, Thayaht was born in Florence, Italy and was related to American artist Hiram Powers. He studied painting at the Académie Ranson in Paris, as well as scientific dyes and dynamic structure at Harvard University. He adopted the pseudonym "THAYAHT" around 1919; when written entirely in uppercase letters, it is a “bifrontal” palindrome, meaning it's visually symmetrical and can be read from right to left, left to right, and as its own reflection.

## Career

In 1919, Thayaht started designing his most famous piece. The TuTa, which Thayaht called “the most innovative, futuristic garment ever produced in the history of Italian fashion” was an early example of what we now know as a jumpsuit. It was intended to revolutionize fashion and create a modern and particularly Italian style. With help from his artist brother RAM (Ruggero Alfredo Michahelles) he launched the new design in 1920, and the pattern was published by the newspaper La Nazione so that the TuTa would be accessible to all. Intended as a practical item of clothing for everyday use, it was instead adopted as a fad by high Florentine society.

From 1919 to 1925, Thayaht worked as a designer in collaboration with Madeleine Vionnet, the couturière credited with introducing the bias-cut to Parisian fashion. He started out by designing the logo for the Maison Vionnet, and quickly became responsible for the graphic presentation of her new models, many published in the magazine Bon Ton. Thayaht also developed numerous patterns for printing on fabric that Vionnet used for her dresses, and designed some original models, including Paysage.

After returning to Italy, during the 1920s he continued his career in the applied arts. Pioneer of Industrial Design, he not only exhibited samples of fabric and clothing but also top quality furniture and furnishings at the 1923 and 1927 Esposizione Internazionale d'Arti Decorative di Monza. These were also intended for mass distribution. He tried his hand at jewelry design inventing "taiattite", a silver and aluminium alloy from which he made primitive fashionable pendants.

During the 1930s he showed at the first Roman Quadrennial (1931), organized the Futurist Exhibition of Painting, Sculpture, Paintings of Airplanes and Decorative Arts at the "Galleria d'Arte" in Florence, showing at the Venice Biennials 1932 to 1936 and at the Milan Triennial in 1933 and 1936.

Like many futurist artists during the 30s, Thayaht was at some point a supporter of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini: His famous painting *"Il grande Nocchiere"* (The great Helmsman) depicts an almost robot-like, muscular figure of Mussolini, holding the giant steering wheel of some fantastic craft, while in the sky above him, a long line of Savoia Marchetti S 55 Catamaran seaplanes (of the type used by air Marshal Italo Balbo for his propaganda transatlantic flights) soars into a sky crisscrossed by barbed wires. His work was also part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

## Later life

In the mid-1930s he retired to Marina di Pietrasanta, where he concentrated on studying science and astronomy and after the end of WWII founded the CIRNOS (independent station for the recording of space information) with the aim of recording and providing proof of UFOs.

## Death

He is buried in the Cimitero Evangelico degli Allori in the southern suburb of Florence, Galluzzo (Italy).

# Macropodia tenuirostris

***Macropodia tenuirostris***, also known as the **slender spider crab**, is a species of marine crab in the family Inachidae.

## Description

Adult *M. tenuirostris* reach a carapace breadth of 11 millimeters, and a carapace length of 16 to 32 millimeters. The carapace is chestnut in color and triangular in shape. Its surface is smooth to slightly coarse. The frontal region − its rostrum − is thick, long, very narrow, slightly bent upwards, and contains numerous hook-setae. From a dorsal view, the eyestalks are clearly visible. Aside from the chelipeds, large in males and slender in females, the limbs are long and thin, with the dactylus of the fourth and fifth legs fairly bent.

## Ecology and biology

The slender spider crab is a free living, solitary, epibenthic, and gonochoristic omnivore. It has a life span of 3 to 5 years, with the duration of the larval development of 11 to 30 days. It can be found in European waters, from the Faroe Islands to Portugal, most commonly around the British Isles. It usually occurs in waters 9–97 meters deep, on muddy to hard substrata, or in estuaries. However, it can occasionally be found at depths down to 300 meters, on Sertularella colonies.

# Praunus flexuosus

***Praunus flexuosus***, known as the **chameleon shrimp**, is a species of opossum shrimp found in European waters. It reaches 26 mm (1.0 in) long, with a distinctly bent body, and closely resembles *Praunus neglectus*. It lives in shallow water and tolerates a wide range of salinities. It is found from northern France to the Baltic Sea, and was introduced to North America in the mid 20th century.

## Description

*Praunus flexuosus* is a long, slender animal, with a pronounced bend in the abdomen. It reaches sexual maturity at a length of around 18 millimetres (0.71 in), but can go on to attain a length of 26 mm (1.0 in). Its colouration is highly variable, ranging from brown or red to green, which accounts for its common name of "chamaeleon shrimp".

*Praunus flexuosus* is very similar to the related species *P. neglectus*. The two can be differentiated by the following characters:

## Taxonomy

*Praunus flexuosus* was the first mysidacean species ever to be formally described, when Otto Friedrich Müller described it under the name *Cancer flexuosa* in 1776.

## Distribution and ecology

*Praunus flexuosus* lives along the coast of the north Atlantic Ocean between 40° north and 71° north, and in the Baltic Sea. There is only one doubtful record from further south than Roscoff. It is "the only documented non-native marine zooplankton species established on the East Coast \[of North America\]". It was first discovered in North America in 1960, on the north side of Cape Cod, and has since colonised as far north as Nova Scotia. This colonisation may have occurred after *P. flexuosus* was transported as a fouling animal on ships' hulls during the Second World War. It was only discovered around the coast of Iceland in 1970, but has since proved to be common along Iceland's south-west coast. This introduction may also have been facilitated by wartime convoys (see Battle of the Atlantic).

*P. flexuosus* can tolerate salinities of 2‰–33‰. It is often found on algae, and is most closely associated with the seaweed *Fucus vesiculosus*. It lives in shallow water, and is often found around artificial constructions, such as docks. It is an omnivore, feeding on debris and preying on small crustaceans, especially harpacticoid copepods, but consumes a greater proportion of macrozooplankton than other common littoral mysids, such as *Neomysis integer* and *Praunus inermis*. *P. fleuosus* is less gregarious than species such as *N. integer*. When it detects a predator nearby, using a combination of visual and chemical cues, *P. flexuosus* hides among vegetation.

## Life cycle

*Praunus flexuosus* has two generations per year. A population overwinters, and produces a spring generation that appears in May or June, before dying off in the summer. Some of the spring generation reach sexual maturity and reproduce in the autumn, producing the generation which will reproduce the following spring. Females release eggs into a brood pouch or *marsupium*, where they are held until they hatch.

title: Moses und Aron (film)

abstract: Moses und Aron, known in English as Moses and Aaron, is a 1975 film by the French filmmaking duo of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet based on the unfinished opera of the same title by Arnold Schoenberg. During its 1975 run at US festivals, it was also known as Aaron and Moses, and was frequently reviewed as such. It is one of three films based on Schoenberg works Straub and Huillet directed, the other two being Einleitung zu Arnold Schoenbergs Begleitmusik zu einer Lichtspielscene, a short film made directly before Moses und Aron, and, over two decades later, an adaptation of the one-act comic opera Von heute auf morgen. The film retains the unfinished nature of the original opera, with the third act consisting of a single shot with no music as Moses delivers a monologue based on Schoenberg's notes. The film was shot on location in Italy and Egypt, specifically the amphitheater within the ruins of Alba Fucens. The film utilized the same team of cinematographers as Straub and Huillet's Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach. The soundtrack and cast of the film is the same as the 1974 recording conducted by Michael Gielen. The original German version of the film was dedicated to Holger Meins, a former cinematography student who joined the Red Army Faction in the early 1970s and died on hunger strike in prison. This dedication was censored by German broadcasters for the film's first transmission in 1975. The English subtitles of Schoenberg's dense German libretto were prepared by assistant Gregory Woods, who is credited on the DVD. The film was shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, but was not entered into the main competition. In a review of the film, composer Allen Shaw commented on how the camera work and directorship mirrored the film's central premise: While mirroring the technical rigor underlying the music, the Straubs also established a directorial method that brilliantly underscored the work’s themes: Moses and Aron’s dichotomous relationship is presented with an extraordinary visual economy—yet they are never framed in exactly the same way.

title: Girl Goin' Nowhere

abstract: "Girl Goin' Nowhere" is a song recorded by American country music singer Ashley McBryde. It was released originally on McBryde's album of the same name in 2018.

# Girl Goin' Nowhere

"**Girl Goin' Nowhere**" is a song recorded by American country music singer Ashley McBryde. It was released originally on McBryde's album of the same name in 2018. In January 2019, it was released as the album's third single, and reached the top 40 of the Country Airplay chart later that year. It received positive reviews from critics.

## Background

"Girl Goin' Nowhere" was co-written by Ashley McBryde, along with Jeremy Bussey. It was McBryde's first experience working with Bussey, who had previously written for country artists like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. Bussey encouraged her to write a song "in such a way that Guy Clark wouldn’t be upset if he had to listen to it." McBryde was also inspired to write the song based on an experience she had with her high school algebra teacher. McBryde had told the educator that she planned on becoming a singer-songwriter. The teacher replied by saying that her dream was "stupid" and that she needed a back-up plan. "For an educator to tell a kid that their dream is stupid, that is so ridiculous and most educators would never do that. But in all reality she gave me my first experience with rejection and the word 'no'," she explained in 2018.

Garth Brooks covered the song under a revised title of "Guy Goin' Nowhere" for his *Triple Live* album.

## Critical reception

The song received positive reviews from critics. This included Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic who named it among his "album picks" upon reviewing her 2018 album of the same name. *Roughstock* called it a "reflective song" and commented that "McBryde also sounds grateful for these struggles, as it’s these hard times that build the most character." Billy Dukes of *Taste of Country* called the track "inspiring reminder to chase your dreams."

## Release and chart performance

"Girl Goin' Nowhere" was first included as the title track to McBryde's debut studio album. Produced by Jay Joyce, the album was released on March 30, 2018, via Warner Music Nashville. The song was released as a single on January 14, 2019, via Warner Music. The song spent a total of 22 weeks on the *Billboard* Country Airplay chart, peaking at number 40 in May 2019. It was McBryde's second top 40 single in her music career. A live music video directed by Ryan McElmore was released on Country Music Television in 2019.

In 1930, Connolly was sent to Washington, D.C., to attend the Catholic University of America, obtaining a Doctor of Canon Law degree in 1932.

After his return to California, Connolly became secretary to Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna in 1934 and chancellor of the archdiocese in 1935. He was named a domestic prelate by Pope Pius XI in 1936, and pastor of Mission San Francisco de Asís in 1939.

# Valentín González Formoso

**Valentín González Formoso** (born 1971) is a Spanish politician of the Socialists' Party of Galicia (PSdeG). He is a city councillor (2003–) and mayor (2007–) of his hometown of As Pontes de García Rodríguez, the president of the Provincial Deputation of A Coruña (2015–) and secretary general of his party since December 2021.

## Biography

Born in As Pontes de García Rodríguez, González Formoso studied Law but put his course on hiatus due to work. First elected to the city council of As Pontes de García Rodríguez in 2003, he became mayor in 2007 and was re-elected in 2011 and 2015, all three times with an absolute majority. In June 2015, the same month as his third election, he became president of the Provincial Deputation of A Coruña due to a pact with the Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG) and En Marea. In an interview with *ABC* in December 2015, he defended provincial deputations against their critics, including the BNG.

In October 2021, González Formoso put himself forward as a candidate for secretary general of the PSdeG. He defeated incumbent Gonzalo Caballero by 59.7% to 40.21%.

González Formoso has described himself as an admirer of the "old politics" of Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) prime minister Felipe González and former PSdeG leader Francisco Vázquez Vázquez. He criticised Podemos founder Pablo Iglesias for questioning the motives of the architects of the Spanish transition to democracy, whom González Formoso considers to be "people who left their ideologies to one side in order to construct the common project of coexistence that we have today".
