Il Rinascimento del Cenacolo di Costanza d’Avalos, principessa di Francavilla
NEW EDITION 

The book presents the synthesis of a long research journey carried out by the Le Franche Villanesi Cultural Association on Costanza d'Avalos. Along this path we have not only returned to reflecting on the 'female Renaissance' and the role that d'Avalos had in it, thanks to the participation of many scholars whose interventions are published here, but we have also activated a series of projects such as the twinning between Ischia and Francavilla and that between the middle schools of the two cities.
“Today, to us who seek answers to the eternal questions about the meaning of life on this earth, an indication comes from Costanza and her time of how not to derogate from the commitment that is asked of every man, of every woman in every era and in every part of the world, to protect the heritage of culture and beauty that every generation has the obligation to pass on. Costanza's spirit has infused new energy into our association.
We look with different eyes at the places of life, the native countries, the important cities of beautiful Italy, our Francavilla, aware that over the centuries they have hosted intelligences and sensibilities fundamental for an extraordinary cultural adventure. The only one that fuels dreams and hopes of evolution, despite the dark moments we are experiencing. We will resist, to tell the new generations about the irrepressible beauty that has descended abundantly into our DNA, a heritage that informs every current human competence, demanding, with a voice that transcends the centuries, to be preserved and transmitted".

Author

Maria Rosaria Sisto, originally from Molise, born in Bojano in the province of Campobasso, has lived in Francavilla al mare for about 38 years.
Graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Rome, specialized in Clinical and Laboratory Hematology, Hygiene and Preventive Medicine, Pediatric Clinic has operated in the various branches of interest to definitively embrace Paediatrics, initially at the pediatric department of Pescara, achieving eligibility as a primary doctor in 1987 and then from 1997 to 2018 as a family pediatrician in the Teatro foothills area. From the early nineties to today you have been a member and national secretary of the Working Group for Migrant Minors of the Italian Society of Paediatrics. You have held the position of National Responsible for Immigrant Children of the Italian Federation of Pediatricians for over a decade. You were called to hold the position of Councilor for Social Policies of the Province of Chieti from November 2007 until the end of your mandate. You conceived, founded in 2003 and still presides over the Le Franche Villanesi Cultural Association, registered in the register of associations of Francavilla al mare and Abruzzo. In your dual role as pediatrician and president of the association, you have organized many pediatric conferences and cultural initiatives, especially with reference to the problems arising from the health and global development of minors due to the degradation of the physical and social environment. You have worked in the profession and in the association with the belief that Culture and " Intelligenza Storica " (B. Croce) are crucial for the well-being of the new generations.
For this reason you have carried out dissemination actions among the population and schools about the past of our territory, a glorious past which is unfortunately not always perceptible today, in the belief that " il futuro è alle spalle " (H. Arendt) and that Culture nourishes the future.
