The Carboni Family and Professor Giuseppe Carboni<\/h4>\n

Among the most distinguished figures in the history of Ortezzano is the well-known Latinist Professor Giuseppe Carboni (1856-1929). He was born in the house now known as Palazzo Carboni\u2014currently owned by the municipality and undergoing major restoration\u2014located on the street that bears his name.<\/p>\n

Carboni is best known as the co-author, alongside Giuseppe Campanini, of the famous dictionary Vocabolario Italiano-Latino e Latino-Italiano Campanini-Carboni<\/em>, which has been an invaluable tool for Italian students of classical studies for over a century. It was first published by Paravia in 1911 and is still in print.<\/p>\n

Carboni’s cultural legacy is still alive today thanks to the “Certamen latinum Giuseppe Carboni”<\/em> a Latin translation contest for young students, which has been organized by the Municipality of Ortezzano in his honor for about twenty years.<\/p>\n

The Public Library named after him houses a number of manuscripts and texts on the study of Latin language and literature, a collection of works donated by his heirs, and the original manuscript of the well-known dictionary.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>

Marcello Savini<\/h4>\n

In the artistic world, Marcello Savini (born in Ortezzano in 1928) stands out as prominent figure. An eclectic artist – painter, sculptor, graphic designer – he has conveyed universal themes with sensitivity. His most representative work in Ortezzano is undoubtedly “Il Fiore” (The Flower), the evocative copper sculpture located at the War Memorial, which has become a recognized symbol of memory and hope for the community. <\/p>\n

Dionisio Massari<\/h4>\n

Dionisio Massari was born in Ortezzano in 1597. He pursued an ecclesiastical career in Fermo, holding various positions in the surrounding area. His life took a significant turn when he traveled to Ireland alongside Archbishop Giovanni Battista Rinuccini. This experience is documented in his diary, a piece of great historical value whose discovery has made it possible to reconstruct Massari\u2019s life and his connection to Ortezzano.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
