When Massari square stood the "royal door"
And then the church, an inn and a butcher

A square, located in a central district of Bari Murat, is entitled to the name of Giuseppe Massari, who was a major nineteenth-century character, which was written on several occasions in these pages, that still does not seem necessary to dwell on him, whereas it is more appropriate to make mention of some of the many interesting news on this square, which are perhaps not known to most people.
Worth remembering, for example, that, until the early nineteenth century, along the row of buildings ranging from the castle and the palace of the Prefecture, ran a piece of the ancient walls and, at the point now where the flows road that runs alongside the garden Isabella of Aragon, stood the main gate of the city, called "real" or "Napoli". The wide area in front should definitely be free of obstacles that could prevent the view of the soldiers responsible for ensuring the safety of the town.
Looking through the remaining volumes of the conclusions of the University, we learn that, at its meeting on 25 February 1513, it was decided to rebuild the port said, as he had ordered the Duchess, and that, first, it seemed to find the sum of 100 ducats, as are necessary to perform the work, and it was also decided to pay a certain Casamaxima de Cola, who owned a garden at the center of the area concerned, and such Imbembo Luca, owner of a shop located nearby; Hieronimo de Bitonto would made by cashier and not de Cola. Hercule would be above the work.
In the space in front of the door, he could then be, at most, a modest little house, like that in the years following 1534, was demolished by Giovanni di Guevara, and provided for the reinforcement of the fortifications, saving only a picture of the "Madonna of the window," which was in fact protected and a display cabinet that was moved inside the walls, where now there is the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli called just "window."
addition, the content of some old parchments lets you know that, to the thirteenth century, the area of \u200b\u200btoday's Piazza Massari, contained a church and a hospital in St. Leonardo, an inn and a butcher, and that there are two roads branched advertising directed at neighboring countries.

First City Council Bari 148 years ago

aaa How many know the history of the City and the mayors of Bari? The City is the oldest institution in the city of Bari Taking as its starting point the era in which historians remember him as "a Roman town, now more than two thousand years of life. Annals of Tacitus, the great historian relates, that, in 66 AD, the Roman Senate in a town hall relegated Silano dell'Apulia called Barium, making it a little later in his slaying fortress.
aaa There is also a historical record for the city of Bari, Bonazzi published by Pompey in 1806, which states that the city became a municipality in the year 427 since the founding of Rome, that in 326 BC, under the consulate Petilio of Libo and Papilio Cursor. The municipal affairs of those times are rather unknown and much less are those that occurred during the invasions of Gothic, Byzantine, Lombard and Saracen that followed until the early Middle Ages.
Aaa The historians have handed down that the 1009ci was a revolt against the Byzantine Empire, led by Melo of Bari, which ended with the defeat at Cannae Melo and his death in 1020 at the court of the Emperor of Germany . The City has continued its history with its statutes and its own organs, even in the transitional period between medieval modern age. This document are the commentaries and papers of the city archives with details of names of mayors and other municipal judges. This is also documented in the "Red Book" and "Great Paper." Until the eighteenth century the city was ruled by two mayors, one representing the nobility of the other nation primary.
aaa third class that emerged in 1798 that gained its own representation in the administration of the city, which became three mayors. In 1806 the French occupied the throne of Naples and King Joseph Napoleon reorganized all the municipalities of the kingdom's ancient statutes abolishing and reducing the number of local mayors to one. Things remained unchanged during the reign of Murat and the Bourbon kings restored in 1815.
aaa A final change came with the national unity of Commons when life began to be governed by the law October 23, 1859, issued after the union to Piemonte and extended to other Italian regions. This law the previous structures were abolished and the administration was formed by City Council, the council and the mayor. The first municipal council of Bari occurred June 9, 1861. Except for the brief interruption of the Fascist period, during which the bodies of the City were replaced by a mayor, assisted by a council, this order did not change.
aaa The first mayor of Bari occurred in 1346 and was a member of the nobility: Call Nicholas de Piltro. In 1416 the nobility was the exponent of a united people. This system lasted until 1 April 1798, when the city had three mayors representing the nobility, the bourgeoisie and the people. They were Zeuli Diego, Matteo and Giuseppe Colucci Triggiani. In February 1799 there was a committee of the municipality in which the presidency was taken in turn and this lasted until May 19, 1799. Then there was a renewal of the Board and the three mayors since 1800, were renewed annually. Since 1806 the number of auditors was reduced by one and then always remained such.
