▌ Alla scoperta di Deruta
#BELLAUMBRIA
{“translation”:[{“lang”:”it”,”content”:”
Le origini di Deruta rimangono in parte oscure. Certo è però il suo antico legame con Perugia, di cui è sempre stata un valido baluardo a Sud, verso Todi, ruolo del quale è tuttora testimonianza il suo aspetto di castello fortificato.
Nel XIII secolo Deruta ha un proprio statuto, seguito, nel 1465, da un nuovo documento in volgare che prevede la presenza nel castello, oltre che di un podestà inviato da Perugia, di quattro “boni omini”, eletti tra gli abitanti. Nella seconda metà del 1400 gli abitanti della cittadina vengono sterminati dalle pestilenze, tanto da comportare una riduzione della cinta muraria. Inoltre, durante la Guerra del Sale (1540), Deruta, che si era schierata contro il Papa, subì saccheggi e devastazioni.
L’assoggettamento di Perugia alla Chiesa portò anche alla cittadina un lungo periodo di pace, durante il quale si ebbe nella cittadina il massimo sviluppo della lavorazione della maiolica artistica, attività che, nel corso dei secoli, ha fatto conoscere Deruta nel mondo.
Una passeggiata nel centro storico di Deruta
Accedendo al centro storico di Deruta dalla Porta di S. Michele Arcangelo, sono subito visibili testimonianze di antiche fornaci. Sulla piazzetta Biordo Michelotti si affacciano le sobrie linee romanico-gotiche della chiesa di S. Arcangelo. Di fronte è situata la Fontana, a pianta poligonale, realizzata dai quinqueviri del location nel 1848.
Subito dopo di apre Piazza dei Consoli, dove si trova il Palazzetto Municipale del 1300, nell’atrio del quale sono raccolti reperti archeologici, neolitici ed etruschi. Il palazzo ospita, inoltre, la Pinacoteca e il Museo della Ceramica. Nella prima si trova un’importante raccolta di dipinti provenienti dalle chiese di S. Francesco, di S. Antonio, dei Defunti di Ripabianca e dall’ospedale di S. Giacomo, e una parte della ricca collezione di Lione Pascoli. Si possono ammirare, tra gli altri, dipinti dell’Alunno, del Baciccio, dello Stendardo, dell’Amorosi, di Fiorenzo di Lorenzo e un Guido Reni. Nel secondo si possono ammirare magnifiche opere in ceramica di epoca compresa tra il periodo arcaico e i nosti giorni.
Di fronte al Palazzo Municipale è la chiesa di S. Francesco, in stile gotico, dall’interessante interno. Attiguo alla chiesa si trova l’ex convento francescano con un antico chiostro. In fondo alla stretta via Mastro Giorgio sorge la chiesa di S. Antonio, che conserva significativi affreschi di Bartolomeo e Gian Battista Caporali.

Au XIII siècle Deruta a son propre statut, suivi, en 1465, par un nouveau document qui prévoit la présence dans le château, en plus d’un représentant du pouvoir envoyé par Pérouse, de quatre “bons hommes”, élus parmi les habitants.
Au cours de la seconde moitié du XV siècle les habitants de la petite ville sont exterminés par la peste, à tel point que cela comporte une réduction de la muraille d’enceinte. En outre, pendant la Guerre du Sel (1540), Deruta, qui s’était rangée contre le Pape, subit des saccages et des dévastations. L’assujettissement de Pérouse à l’Eglise amène également à la petite ville une longue période de paix, au cours de laquelle a lieu dans la petite ville le développement maximum du travail de la céramique artistique, activité qui, au cours des siècles, a fait connaître Deruta dans le monde entier.
En arrivant dans le centre historique de Deruta par la Porte de St. Michel Archange, on voit immédiatement des témoignages des anciens fours. Sur la petite place « Biordo Michelotti » on peut admirer les lignes sobres romano gothiques de l’église de St. Archange. En face se trouve la Fontaine, à forme polygonale, réalisées par les “quinqueviri » de la Commune en 1848.
Immédiatement après s’ouvre Piazza dei Consoli, où se trouve le Palazzetto Municipaldu XIV siècle dans l’atrium duquel sont collectés des restes archéologiques, néolithiques et étrusques. L’édifice accueille, en outre, la Pinacothèque et le Musée de la Céramique. Dans la première se trouve une importante collection de peintures provenant des églises de St. François, de St. Antoine, des Défunts de Ripabianca et de l’hôpital de St. Giacomo, et une partie de la riche collection de Lione Pascoli. On peut admirer, entre autres, des peintures d’Alunno, de Baciccio, de Stendardo, d’Amorosi, de Fiorenzo di Lorenzo et un Guido Reni. Dans la seconde on peut admirer de magnifiques oeuvres en céramique datant d’une époque comprise entre la période archaïque et nos jours.
En face du Palais Municipal se trouve l’église de St. François, de style gothique, dont l’intérieur est intéressant. Près de l’église se trouve l’ex couvent franciscain avec un antique cloître. Au fond de l’étroite voie « Mastro Giorgio » se dresse l’église de St. Antoine, qui conserve des fresques significatives de Bartolomeo et Gian Battista Caporali.
A la hauteur de « piazza Cavour » se trouve la petite église de la Madonna du Divin Amour, aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de Madonna de la Cerasa. Le long de la voie Tiberina on rencontre la petite église de la Madonna des Piagge de 1601, dont la façade est ornée d’une belle céramique. Près de cette petite église on peut visiter un intéressant Musée de céramiques.
