The Baronale Palace, in baroque style, he/she/it/you has
characterized the last vassals of the country
from
a very handsome portal of the 1770 on which the coat of arms of the Granafei
could be admired; he came rehandled in the XIX century. The Palace Stain,
instead, he/she/it/you goes up again at 1779 o'clock for work of Gaetano Sergio,
while the Palace Fox had built century to difference of his portal that is of
the end of the XVIII century in the XVII. For as concern the churches, most
important he/she/it/you is, surely, the Parish. She had built in the 1541 and
has devoted to the Virgo of the Martyrdoms. To his inside [pregevoli] could be
admired cloths (like that [seicentesca] of St. Pantaleone), a wooden crucifix
that, initially, it was [ubicato] in the old Mother Church, and altars of good
person execution in baroque style between which [spicca] that of the Lady of the
Rosary, [risalente] at 1705 o'clock for work of the sculptor [leccese] Joseph
Cino. An other altar of notable importance is that of St. Pantaleone, of the
1706, that came moved in the 1769 from the old and [omonima] chapel to the
Parish. To the outside of [quest'ultima], on the side south, he/she/it/you is
situated the Bell Tower, built for want of the brotherhood of the Rosary in the
1681, while the adjoining Tower of the Clock had built in the 1796. Chapel of
St. Giovanni Battista goes up again at 1621 o'clock and he/she/it/you had built
for want of the prelate Giovanni Giannuzzo; the wall up inside I/they am
completely [ricoperte] of [pregiati] frescos. Chapel of the Lady of the Graces
had built for want of the inhabitants of Martignano;
to the inside there is an image of St. Donato and of Sant'Eligio. These two
saints are much revered because they come retained the protectors of the animals
from transport and of the patients of epilepsy. Chapel of the Mantovano comes as
denominated because, according to a legend, he/she/it/you had built for want of
a [mantovano] that, [trovandosi] to Martignano in the beautiful half of a
powerful hurricane, uninjured [miracolosamente] stayed. Probably this stays only
one legend, since historical documents attest that Chapel had built in the 1696
for want of the Martignanesi. An other sacred structure of notable importance is
Convent of St. Francesco, [risalente] to the XVII century, and the adjoining
church of the XVIII century. In the 1809 for order of Gioacchino Murat, convent
came closed and envoy in sale, and you/he/she/it currently pour in very bad
conditions. Very interesting I/they am also the so-called [pozzelle];
[anticamente] came dig in the ground for resolve the water problem.
Strutturalmente they are very similar to the public cisterns of the Greek cities
of the VIII century to. C. The protector of Martignano is St. Pantaleone that
he/she/it/you comes celebrated July 27.
The [nomèa] of the inhabitants of Martignano is "pacifiers,"
that he/she/it/you means asses, because of
an
ancient legend that narrates the stupidity of an agriculturist. You/he/she/it
are told that the country simpleton stayed sat on the branch of a fairly tall
tree, and he/she/it/you tried to cut it with an ax for [farne] of the firewood.
Essendosi sat from the opposite part, in the moment in which the branch fell, he
also threw headlong bringing again substantial wounds.
