Capua, a city steeped in history and rich with cultural treasures. From ancient times to the Renaissance era, this Italian gem has witnessed countless stories unfold within its boundaries. In the 15th century, St. Catherine of Siena found solace in Capua as she dictated her profound Dialogues to Raymond of Capua. This painting by Giovanni di Paolo immortalizes their connection, capturing the intensity of their spiritual bond. But Capua's historical significance predates even this remarkable collaboration. A boundary-marker dating back to 300-100 BC stands as a testament to its ancient roots and the Oscan language spoken by its early inhabitants. The remnants of an amphitheater tell tales of gladiatorial battles that once echoed through Capua's streets. The black and white photo transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the cheers and roars from enthralled spectators. As we explore further into Capua's past, engravings depict pivotal moments like "The Battle near Capua" or "Victor Emmanuel giving Commands to commence the Bombardment of Capua. " These images remind us that this city was not only witness but also participant in significant historical events. Yet amidst all these grand narratives lies beauty on a smaller scale - delicate pottery fragments showcasing intricate designs and vibrant colors. They offer glimpses into daily life during different eras, reminding us that even mundane objects can hold great value when viewed through a historical lens. From atop Monte St Angelo, one can take in breathtaking views spread out below - an enchanting panorama that captures both its architectural splendor and natural surroundings, and is no wonder artists were inspired to create stunning engravings depicting this picturesque scene. Capua's role during periods of revolution cannot be overlooked either. Engravings portraying Giuseppe Garibaldi's life or Neapolitan cavalry charging before it on September 19th serve as reminders of how this city became a stage for political upheaval and change.
