    Rocca (architecture)

    Rocca (literally: "rock") is an Italian term meaning a high, fortifiable stronghold, usually located in smaller towns, beneath or on which the village or town clustered, within which its inhabitants might take refuge at times of trouble; under its owners' patronage the settlement might hope to find prosperity in better times. A rocca might in reality be no grander than a fortified farmhouse. A more extensive rocca would be referred to as a castello.

    The rocca in Roman times would more likely be a site of a venerable cult than a dwelling, like the highplace of Athens, its Acropolis. Though the earliest documentation is not often earlier than the eleventh century, it was during the Lombard times that farming communities, which had presented a Roman pattern of loosely distributed farmsteads or self-sufficient villas, moved from their traditional places on the fringes of the best arable lands in river valleys, where they were dangerously vulnerable from the Roman roads, to defensive positions, such as had once been occupied by Etruscan settlements, before the settled conditions of the Pax Romana. "At Falerii", J.B. Ward-Perkins notes, "the inhabitants simply transferred their town back from its Roman site on the open plateau to the old cliff-top site of Falerii Veteres, to which they gave the significant name of Civita Castellana, or "the Fortress Town"; just as in antiquity, security was once again the basic consideration." Similarly, in Greek-speaking Calabria, the inhabitants of Paestum finally abandoned their town after raids by Saracens and moved a few miles to the top of a cliff, calling the new settlement Agropoli (ie "acropolis"). Where such fortress villages were sited at the end of a ridge, protected on three sides by steep, cliff-like escarpments, the rocca was often sited to control the narrow access along the crest of the spur.

    Duele Amarte

    by: Reik

    Me duele amarte,
    sabiendo que ya te perdi
    solo quedara la lluvia
    mojando mi llanto
    y me hablara de ti.
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti,
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volverá
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzándome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
    Me duele amarte,
    los sueños que eran para ti
    se pierden con cada palabra
    con cada momento que
    espere vivir.
    Me duele más
    imaginar que tu te vas
    y dejarás detrás de ti
    tu ausencia en mis brazos.
    Me duele tanto sospechar
    que ni tu sombra volvera
    para abrigar mi alma en pedazos.
    Chorus:
    Me duele amarte así
    hasta morir lanzandome a la nada
    viendote partir.
    Me duele aquel abril
    cuando te vi por
    ves primera y dije que
    eras para mi,
    Me duele amarte tanto.
    ohhh ummm
