"backyards" of St. Nicholas

Il Casale di San Nicola was founded towards the beginning of 1300 due to the increasing need to cultivate the land of the plain. The farmhouse surrounded the central core housing Mondragone enclosed by fortified walls which gathered around a small square (now named Umberto I). This town center had four doors leading to the North Casale di Sant'Angelo, to the west, "port dues" that led to the shoreline; south, the "door" in the countryside led to the current road Domitiana, while the gate of S. Nicola Casale led namesake. Outside the door of S. Nicola, there were already several homes, continuing a little further on the same street there was a Casale di San Nicola. All the houses in the area of \u200b\u200bMondragone were built in stone and tufa, the roads were muddy and flat, almost all the territory was flat with swampy areas. In the middle ages feudal Mondragone was subject to various rules. Life was not easy for the people who worked hard at the ground, while the gain was all the feudal lords. In 1447 the Emperor Alfonso I of Aragon ordered a census throughout the Kingdom. Mondragone also had its first census was done with the distinction in flames (families): Mondragone the Borgata had 200 fires, 138 St. Angelo Casale, Casale San Nicola 128.
Casale di San Nicola in the 128 fires were grouped according to the number of families. They lived in ten yards wide, called "curtiglie ", in which there is certain aspects of life in common concerning the structures of essentials like the furnace, the well with the adjacent sink, toilet facilities and space where they were carried out activities related to farming and in particular the CA storage of grain, vegetables, especially legumes, oil production and the extraordinary wine Falerno already appreciated by the Romans who would later Baron Falco revalued massively replanting the vineyard "primitive."
this property, its ongoing until 1950 according to the ancient place names of the ten "curtiglie" (-1) Raffaele Tartaglia -2) Nero Andrea -3) Paul Russo -4) Lisa De Giovanni -5) Erminio De Lisa - 6) Joseph Pope -7) Nugnes Nicola -8) Blacks Ersilia -9) Palmieri Virgil -10) Giovanni Di Nardo) can still be found along Via Amedeo and Via Boccucci, that the two roads that leave to the right and left of the new St. Nicholas Church was built by Bishop Adelchi Fantini in the years 50.
Already Don Fantini patron saint of the parish brought in countless initiatives to discover the extraordinary world of aggregating "curtiglie": a place for dialogue, sharing of burdens and joys of daily life, the weddings and funerals of tears, prayer and folk songs combined with skits on the facts of daily news to relieve the drama of the hard times of war, in short, that world is full of poetry that Matilde Serao, Verga, Pirandello, De Filippo, De Curtis tried to make in their work which in 'evocation of narrative storytelling, the vital power of the relationship does not exist face to face today in the dreary night before the TV.
Since 2003, the festivities in honor of St. Nicholas at the turn of July and August, takes place in our parish an evening called "The courtyard of St. Nicholas" in an attempt to reassess the old traditions from each family, in "curtiglie" prepares exceptional dishes than once. The turnout and the genial warmth that you try to walk from one courtyard to another, show that much more can be done to recover the culturally unifying role that these sites offer , the green of the gardens, the angles with the wells and ovens make an evocative power that seems to have stopped time and we intend to increase socio-cultural and folk activities.
