Amalfi |
Amalfi. Le origini di Amalfi e degli altri centri della Costa Amalfitana sono avvolte nelle nubi della leggenda: da quanto emerge dalle testimonianze del geografo greco Strabone ( I sec. a.C.), in età classica la Costiera Amalfitana doveva essere quasi completamente disabitata, e l'unico insediamento esistente ai confini orientali del litorale amalfitano risulta essere stato l'etrusca Marcina, coincidente forse con l'odierna Vietri sul Mare. Fra le varie leggende nate intorno alle origini di Amalfi, tutte aventi in comune la fondazione romana della città, quella più diffusa narra dell'epica avventura di una gruppo di famiglie romane che, al tempo dell'imperatore Costantino, partite alla volta di Costantinopoli, furono sorprese da una violenta tempesta nel mar Ionio e costrette a rifugiarsi presso Ragusa, in Dalmazia. Dopo una breve sosta, ripresero la navigazione e tra Palinuro e Pisciotta fondarono un villaggio, che dal nome del fiume che scorreva in quel luogo chiamarono Melfi. Minacciati dalle frequenti incursioni dei Vandali, pensarono di riparare ad Eboli, dove si trattennero più a lungo continuando ad esplorare i siti vicini. Fu così che scoprirono un luogo ben protetto e ricco d'acqua, dove decisero di stabilirsi definitivamente. Dopo un iniziale insediamento a Scala, fondarono due città nelle valli sottostanti cui diedero nome di Amalphia, in ricordo del paese lucano abbandonato, e di Atranum, cioè "oscuro", a causa delle rocce che incombevano sulla stretta vallata. La città marinara compare ufficialmente nella storia in una lettera, scritta nel 596 da papa Gregorio Magno, nella quale si fa riferimento al vescovo di Amalfi. Nel testo Amalfi viene definita castrum, cioè avamposto difensivo. In effetti, per molto tempo a causa della sua posizione lungo i confini meridionali del Ducato bizantino di Napoli, essa servì da rifugio contro le incursioni dei Longobardi di Benevento, i quali alla fine ebbero la meglio e, grazie al tradimento di alcune famiglie locali, espugnarono la città e deportarono parte della popolazione. Ma gli Amalfitani, dopo essersi riorganizzati e grazie alle divisioni interne della corte longobarda, riuscirono a saccheggiare Salerno liberando gli ostaggi e il primo settembre 839 fondarono la repubblica indipendente. La nascita dello Stato amalfitana rientra nel più ampio fenomeno della frammentazione delle due grosse realtà politiche territoriali costituite dal ducato bizantino di Napoli e dal principato longobardo di Benevento. English According to the tradition, Hercules, strength pagan god, loved a nymph called Amalfi, but his love was short: she died and Hercules buried her in the most beautiful place of the world, and to immortalize her, he gave it her name. According to the history, it was founded after Constantino's death; its origins came from Roman families. The first news are about 533, during the Greek-Gothic war, with the victory of Narsete against Teia, Amalfi is under the rule of Byzantine Empire and it starts to be a part of Naples dukedom. In the VI century it's a diocese. The bishop absolved religious services and he provided to town's defence. Some aristocratic, landowners, deprived the bishop of his politic power. In 836 Sicardo, duke of Benevento, raided Amalfi, deporting the inhabitants to Salerno. In 839, Sicardo was killed, the Amalfitans rose, conquering a power and an autonomy that remained until the end of the XI century. Amalfi became Republic in 850. Very often Amalfi united itself with Saracens and Ludovico II against Byzantines, that wanted to restore the sovereignty of the Eastern Empire. Anyway, the alliance with Saracens was unstable and not lasting. In 915, after a very cruel battle, Saracens were defeated and definitely sent away of Reggio Calabria. For all the X century and the beginning of the XI century, the Amalfitans had a commercial increase and a very reliable economic welfare, taking a very important seat in the Mediterranean, the same seat that Pisa and Genova had later. The richness of Amalfi was so big that Guglielmo Appulo wrote that only this town was so rich of gold, silver and every kind of fabrics and it was visited by Arabians, Sicilians, Africans and Indians. That's because they had by Amalfitans the most ancient codifications, in the famous "Tabula Amalphitana", that was the most accredited code of all the sailor nations of that time. It controlled the relations between ship's master and sailor, between sailors and traders. The same Flavio Gioia's legend, probably lived at the beginning of the XIV century, gives to Amalfi the credit to have perfected the compass for the navigation and given materials about the first medieval nautical papers. Ruler in spices field, in scents, in silk and precious carpets, in the X century Amalfi coined the Golden Coin, the golden and silver Tarμ, that were used in Greek Empire, in Afric and in Longobardo principate. |
