Capriate San Gervasio ( Bergamasque: ; Milanese: ) is a town and ''comune'' in the province of Bergamo, in Lombardy, northern Italy. , its population was 8,216. The municipality is located about from Milan. History About two thousand years ago, the Romans founded settlements in the area, together with the previous Celtic ones. The first document attesting the existence of the village dates back to 948; the land had been exploited by the Bishop of Cremona, who had received the feudal investiture from the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. During the following centuries the city witnessed a number of conflicts between the opposing factions of Guelphs and Ghibellines. The situation induced the construction of buildings useful for defense, such as a castle. Also, towards the end of the 12th century, the troops of Bergamo built a huge fortification used as a weapons deposit. The village was involved in punitive expeditions led by Facino Cane and Francesco Bussone, culminati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Facino Cane
Facino Cane. Facino Cane da Casale (1360 – May 1412), born Bonifacio Cane, was an Italian condottiero. Biography Cane was born in Casale Monferrato to a noble family. He trained in the military arts by fighting under Otto of Brunswick against Charles of Durazzo, in 1382. At 26 he became condottiero for the Scaliger and, later, Carraresi families. In 1387 he was hired by Theodore II, Marquess of Montferrat, with 400 knights, in the war against the House of Savoy. Facino's aim in wars was almost exclusively the enrichment of himself and his soldiers, resulting in savage acts of ruthlessness and cruelties against the population. This led Theodore to dismiss Facino in 1397, and the condottiero moved first back to the da Carrara and, in 1401, to the Visconti. In 1400 he had also created the small seigniory for himself in Borgo San Martino. In 1404 his personal dominions included also Alessandria, Novara and Tortona. In 1402, at the death of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti, he a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Frazione
A ''frazione'' (plural: ) is a type of subdivision of a ''comune'' (municipality) in Italy, often a small village or hamlet outside the main town. Most ''frazioni'' were created during the Fascist era (1922–1943) as a way to consolidate territorial subdivisions in the country. In the autonomous region of the Aosta Valley, a ''frazione'' is officially called an ''hameau'' in French. Description Typically the term ''frazioni'' applies to the villages surrounding the main town ('' capoluogo'') of a ''comune''. Subdivision of a ''comune'' is optional; some ''comuni'' have no ''frazioni'', but others have several dozen. The ''comune'' usually has the same name of the ''capoluogo'', but not always, in which case it is called a ''comune sparso''. In practice, most ''frazioni'' are small villages or hamlets, occasionally just a clump of houses. Not every hamlet is classified as a ''frazione''; those that are not are often referred to as '' località'', for example, in the telephone ...
