A PUBLICATION OF THE CIOCIARO CLUB OF WINDSOR
Una publicazione del Ciociaro Club di Windsor
38mo Banchetto Annuale dei Soci
Il 38mo banchetto annual dei soci e’ stato veramente di un gran successo.
Orgogliosamente conferimmo il titolo di “Paese dell’Anno” al comune di Vicalvi e
precisamente nelle proprie mani del suo Sindaco, il Dott. Leonardo D’Agostini e
della sua gentile delegazione.
Durante la loro permanenza, essi ebbero l’opportunita’ di conoscere il Ciociaro
Club e molti ciociari di Windsor e della Contea di Essex. Ulteriormente,
parteciparono a un certo numero di visite e gite turistiche, come il ricevimento alla
sala comunale di Tecumseh (grazie Sig. Sindaco McNamara & Tony Haddad,
CAO); Hiram Walker (grazie Mr. Dan Tullio, Marketing Manager and Member of
the Club); Mucci Farms (grazie Signora e Signor Gino Mucci); Sun Brite Canning
(grazie Sig. Onorio Iacobelli e famiglia – members of the Club and nativi di
Vicalvi); Toronto e le famose Cascate del Niagara.
I numerosissimi partecipanti (circa 1200),
furono testimoni alla
presentazione del titolo di
“Socio Onorario” al
Sindaco di Tecumseh, Sig.
Gary McNamara per
“distinti servizi e meriti
straordinari resi al Club”.
Inoltre, il programma
“Borse di Studio Ciociaro Club”, offrì ben sei borse di studio a giovani ciociari della

President’s Message / Messaggio Del Presidente
Dear Members:
It is hard to believe that we are already through the first half
of 2010. The weather has finally improved and I am sure
that you are all anxious to attend one of the several outdoor
events that are planned throughout the summer. During this
time the the Board of Directors of the Club have been
extremely busy working to ensure that the Management has
everything they need to ensure that our Club remains one
of the most impressive associations in Canada.
For example, we have several major projects on the go. Most
importantly our total kitchen renovation is well underway. Our
initial expansion is complete, the new employee staff room,
storage and receiving areas, and our brand new freezers and
coolers have been constructed and installed. The current phase is
starting which will see the installation of new dishwashing
equipment, followed by the construction of a “state of the art”
temperature controlled food preparation area. The total project is
slated to be complete in the first part of 2011.
In addition, we are performing significant renovations to our
Pavilion. All new stucco walls are being constructed and new
retractable tarps are being installed. This will give the pavilion a
new and modern look. Also, this will allow the General Manager
to rent our picnic facilities more often and it will ensure that the
members have the best facilities when they are hosting their events.
In April we celebrated our 38th Annual Members’ Banquet where
we honoured Vicalvi as the “Town of the Year”. It was truly a
pleasure to get to know Mayor Leonardo D’Agostini and his
delegation that made the trip to the Club to receive the recognition
in person. As you will see in the upcoming pages of this issue of
Corriere Ciociaro the delegation was able to meet and learn about
the Ciociaro Community of Windsor and Essex County. I am sure
that they remained impressed with the sincere joy in which we
hosted them, and the success that the Ciociaro Community has
achieved abroad.
In addition, we hosted a small delegation from the City of
Frosinone who were here to work with the City of Tecumseh on
their respective twinning initiative. We continue to pour a
tremendous amount of work to support this relationship and some
very exciting developments are occurring that relate to
educational, cultural, and economic development opportunities
which will positively impact the Ciociaro Club in the near future.
Stay tuned for more information!
Make sure you take the time to peruse this issue of the Corriere
Ciociaro. It will give you a great understanding of the projects that
we are working on and the events that are upcoming. I encourage
you to get involved, and to engage your children and grandchildren
to learn about and appreciate our beautiful and unique Club.
Ultimately, we are working to preserve and promote our rich
cultural heritage so that it may be enjoyed by our next generation!
Sincerely,
Frank Maceroni, President
Cari soci:
E’ difficile credere che siamo gia’ quasi alla meta’ del
2010. Il tempo e’ finalmente migliorato e sono sicuro che
siete tutti ansiosi di partecipare a qualcuno dei vari eventi
programmati qui al Club durante l’estate. Come al solito,
il Consiglio di Amministrazione e’ stato molto occupato
per assicurarsi che la Gestione abbia tutto il necessario
affinche’ il nostro Club rimanga una delle piu’ ammirabili
associazioni in Canada.
Come gia’ saprete, abbiamo tutt’ora parecchi progetti nelle mani.
Il piu’ importante e’ quello del rinnovo totale della cucina. La
nostra espansione iniziale e’ completa: la nuova sala del personale,
il magazzino, la zona ricevimento materiali e i nostri nuovi
frigoriferi e congelatori sono stati costruiti, o installati. La nuova
fase sta avendo inizio e comprendera’ l’installazione delle
macchine lavastoviglie, seguito dalla costruzione di una
modernissima sala per preparazione cibi, con temperatura
controllata. L’opera totale e’ progettata di essere completa durante
la prima parte del 2011.
Inoltre, stiamo significativamente migliorando lo stato del nostro
Padiglione. Stiamo costruendo pareti di stucco ed installando
nuovi, impermeabili teloni rimboccanti. Cio’ dara’ al padiglione un
nuovo aspetto e dara’ piu’ spesso l’opportunita’ al nostro Gestore
Principale di offrire in affitto le nostre attrezzature da picnic e ci
assicurera’ che i soci avranno il migliore e ben attrezzato posto
quando hanno bisongo di festeggiare qualcuno dei loro eventi.
In Aprile festeggiammo il nostro 38.mo Banchetto Annuale dei
Soci, mentre onorammo Vicalvi come “Paese dell’Anno”. Fu un
vero piacere conoscere il Sindaco, Dott. Leonardo D’ Agostini e la
sua delegazione, avendo fatto il viaggio al Club insieme per
ricevere il Riconoscimento di persona. Come vedrete nelle
prossime pagine di questo giornale, alla delegazione fu data
l’opportunita’ d’incontrare e di conoscere, in generale, la
Comunita’ Ciociara di Windsor e della Contea di Essex. Sono
sicuro che sono rimasti impressionati dalla gioia sincera con la
quale li ospitammo e del successo che la comunita’ ciociara ha
realizzato all’estero.
Inoltre, ospitammo una piccola delegazione dalla citta’ di
Frosinone i quali erano qui per collaborare con il comune di
Tecumseh, relativamente alle loro rispettive iniziative. Noi
continueremo sempre a lavorare sodo e a sostenere questa
relazione. Qualcosa di eccellente sta gia’ succedendo al livello
istruttivo, culturale ed economico; opportunita’ che saranno un
impatto molto positivo al Ciociaro Club nel vicino futuro e noi vi
terremo al corrente.
Assicuratevi di leggere in dettaglio le pagine di questo giornale.
Esso vi dara’ tante informazioni sullo stato dei progetti in corso e
sugli eventi che sono in programma per il futuro. Vi incoraggio a
partecipare e a far partecipare i vostri figli, nipoti, ecc., ad imparare,
conoscere ed apprezzare il nostro ricco patrimonio culturale,
affinche’anche le nostre future generazioni possano goderne.
Sinceramente,
Frank Maceroni, Presidente

Paese storico della Ciociaria: AUSONIA
Ausonia sorge tra i monti Aurunci. Circondata da splendidi
uliveti, le sue case sono di pietra grigia, i suoi orti e giardini sono
terrazzamenti costruiti con muri a secco. Con il suo antico nome
Castrum Fractae compare tra i possedimenti dell’abbazia di
Montecassino. Solo nel 1862, dopo l’unità d’Italia, divenne
Ausonia. Interessanti e numerosi sono i suoi monumenti. Tra
essi ricordiamo la Collegiata di S.Michele Arcangelo, sorta sui
resti di età romanica, con facciata romanica e tre portali di stile
gotico; da notare presso l’entrata le due acquasantiere ricavate
da are votive romane. Il Castello, donato nel 1065 a
Montecassino dai principi di Capua, è costruzione militare ma
anche residenziale. In pietra viva è costruita S.Maria a Castello
con l’elegante campanile. Il Santuario di Santa Maria del Piano
è notevole per il polittico di G.B. Criscuolo e gli affreschi
dell’XI secolo della cripta che illustrano la storia del miracolo di
S. Remicarda. Ma soprattutto interessanti sono i passaggi
coperti, le scalinate, le strette vie e piazzette su cui si affacciano
palazzi settecenteschi, con bei portali e suggestive bifore dalle
cornici catalane. E tutto questo dà un senso di quiete e di pacata
austerità.
The grey stone buildings of Ausonia, rising from the midst of
mountains belonging to the Aurunci chain, are surrounded by
attractive terraces of olive groves and orchards. When known by
its ancient name Castrum Fractae, it formed part of the monastic
possessions of Montecassino. Only in 1862, after the unification
of Italy did it take the name Ausonia. The town has many
interesting monumental structures. The Collegiata of S.
Michele Arcangelo, a church of Romanesque origin,
includes three Gothic portals. Positioned at its entrance
there are two holy water fonts made out of Roman
votive altars. The town’s castle, donated to
Montecassino in 1065 by the Princes of Capua, is both
a military and residential complex. S.Maria a Castello,
a stone built church, features an elegant belfry. The
Sanctuary of S. Maria del Piano, noted for its polyptych
by G.B.Criscuolo, has 11th century frescoes in its
crypt, which illustrate the event of St. Remicarda’s
miracle. But the most interesting sights of all are the
cloisters, stepways, pathways and quaint small squares
enclosed by fine 18th century palaces with charming
mullioned windows embellished by Catalan frames. In
all, the town transmits a quiet and sedate austerity.

38th Annual Members Banquet
The 38th Annual Members Banquet was a great success. We proudly conferred the title of “Town of the Year” to Vicalvi

Nomigliolo di “VIA FROSINONE”
attribuito al North Talbot Road
Durante il nostro 38.mo banchetto
annuale dei soci, festeggiato lo
scorso 25 aprile, il Sindaco di
Tecumseh Gary McNamara ci
sorprese con un piacevole regalo:
al North Talbot Road, gli e’ stato
dato il nome onorario di “Via
Frosinone”.
Il Sindaco ci spiego’ che tale
decisione era stata presa a riconoscenza e gratitudine per lo sforzo
nel quale il Ciociaro Club si e’ impegnato nel realizzare il
riuscitissimo gemellaggio tra la sua Tecumseh e la citta’ di
Frosinone. Insegne permanenti sono gia’ state installate a tutti gli
incroci di North Talbot Road, da Walker Road alla 8th Concession
(vedi foto di Armando Carlini).
Durante le prime ore dei festeggiamenti, mentre si brindava a
favore dell’Italia, il Sig. McNamara echeggio’ cio’ che ha ripetuto
tante altre volte: “Un brindisi all’Italia – grazie di averci mandato i
vostri figli e figlie, particolarmente quelli provenienti dalla
povincia di Frosinone, i quali hanno significativamente contribuito
alla crescita del prospero Comune di Tecumseh, della Contea di
Essex e del Canada”.

Durante gli ultimi mesi, il Club ha assistito
nell’organizzare due differenti e poi ben riusciti
concerti, dedicati alla promozione e alla
conservazione del nostro ricco Patrimonio Italiano.
Il 18 aprile scorso, il Club ospito' il gruppo musicale
“Teppisti dei Sogni”, direttamente dalla Sicilia e
famosissimi per la loro grande canzone degli anni
’70 “Piccolo Fiore”. Similmente, il 21 maggio
ospitammo la grande Aaron Caruso Band. Il giovane
tenore di Detroi, Mi., si esibì meravigliosamente e di
questo ne furono testimoni le numerose battute di
mano che i presenti gli offrirono, alzandosi
ripetutamente in piedi.

“VIA
FROSINONE”
During our 38th Annual Members banquet celebration which
was held on Sunday April 25, 2010 Tecumseh Mayor Gary
McNamara surprised those in attendance by presenting the Club
with an honourary street sign for Via Frosinone (the new nickname for North Talbot Rd).
He explained this was being done in recognition and gratitude
for the role that the Ciociaro Club played in the very successful
twining between his municipality and the City of Frosinone
(Italy). Permanent street signs have already be erected at each
intersection of North Talbot begining at Walker Rd and ending
at the 8th Concession (See photograph above provided by
Armando Carlini).
Earlier on in the evening, during a toast to Italy Mr. McNarama
echoed the statement which he has made on several occasions; he
stated: “A Toast to Italy – thank you for having sent us your sons
and daughters…..in particular those from the province of Frosinone
who have significantly contributed to the building of a modern and
prosperous Town of Tecumseh, Essex County, and Canada”.

performance as evidenced by the several standing
ovations he received from the crowd in attendance.

The Ciociaro Youth Soccer Club held a fundraiser here
in the Pavillion where $2,000 was raised for Jonah
Chrisman. Jonah is a 15 year old high school student
from Michigan who is currently battling Osteosarcoma,
which is a type of bone cancer. Originally diagnosed in
December 2007, he had an above the knee amputation
in March 2009 and still continues to undergo treatment
to fight this terrible disease. He is an avid soccer fan
and began playing soccer when he was 5 years old and
continued to play until he was diagnosed with cancer.
Some of the boys at our club have played alongside
Jonah in Michigan. We thank everyone who participated
and wish Jonah the very best.
The Ciociaro teams are in full swing now, so stop by
and watch some of our kids play. Games at the club are
held weeknights and Saturday mornings.

CYCLING AT THE CIOCIARO CLUB
By Alan Henderson
Every youngster knows – or should know – how to ride a bike safely!
Thanks to dedicated Ciociaro Cycling Club volunteers, youngsters now
can improve cycling skills and experience the thrill of competition on the club
track at no charge.
Charlotte Loaring, CCC executive member, said, judging from the first two
sessions, the training, geared for youngsters five to 16 years of age, is fun and
appreciated.
“All we ask is that children bring a bike in good condition, a helmet and a
smile,” she said. Charlotte and her team of experienced riders - Pietro
DiPonio, Tom Bonin, Jason Lamb, Alex Rae, Sandra Burks and Les Pruden do the rest.
“Youth cycling development has been one of the primary focuses of the
CCC.” Charlotte said. “This program aims to get more kids on bikes, safely.
The hope is that they will carry these newly developed skills and healthy
attitudes throughout their lives, whether choosing to race, or simply
remaining recreational and meeting like-minded healthy peers.”
Charlotte said she and her team were delighted when 13 children showed
up with their parents on the inaugural night April 22. There were even more
two weeks later.
With groups based on ages and skills, the children work on cornering,
climbing, descending, starting, stopping, bike maintenance and respect for
others on the road. They also learn to ride safely in groups in single lines and
side-by-side.
Each session ends with a race-simulation where children pedal against the
clock so they can record progress each week.
Not surprisingly, it has been the first time many of the children, including
three five-year-olds, have ever climbed a hill. Some of the older youngsters
already are entering youth events during Thursday night racing.
Sessions are on non-race Thursdays until the end of August. Dates are May
20, June 3 and 17, July 1, 15 and 29, Aug 12 and 26. Registration starts at 5:30
p.m. and the sessions start promptly at 5:45 p.m.
For more information, call Charlotte at 519-257-3762. Better still, come
out and cheer the youngsters on. Then join them at 6:30 p.m. to watch and
learn from adult cyclists who start their training on the track at that time.

Ciociaro kitchen staff provided an excellent
meal and thank you to the service staff,
sponsors and all the members of the
Bocciofila that provided the raffle prizes.
In March, members of the bocciofila
attended a tournament in Cape Coral,
Florida. The men who entered the
tournament were Rocco Lecce, Giorgio
Paniccia, Danny DiMario, Americo Rizza
and Enrico Perciballi along with our friend
Benito Germani who lives in Florida. It
was a great experience and we've made
new friendships and played bocce for a
week. We're looking forward to returning
next year.
We have had several men and women’s
tournaments, with about 30 members
participating. Congratulations to all the
winners!
On May 24 the official gara at Caboto
Park was won by our Ciociaro Men’s team
of Rocco Lecce and Giorgio Paniccia.
Congratulations and keep up the good
play!!!!
June 11th is our annual Bar-b-que and
we are expecting a good turn-out. Please
get your tickets from any bocciofila
member and support our group.
Thanks again to our sponsors, Ciociaro
club management and staff for all you do
for us. Also special thanks to our members
that provide baked goods, door prizes and
spend time taking care of the alleys. It is
much appreciated.
We are looking forward to a successful

University of Cassino & University of Windsor
Sign a Historic Agreement of Co-operation
L’Universita’ di Cassino e l’Universita’ di Windsor
Firmano un Accordo Storico per la Cooperazione
We are pleased to report that these two prestigious
universities have signed a historic co-operation agreement
which will see them work together going forward. This
initiative was born out of the successful twining between
the City of Frosinone & the Town of Tecumseh.
While in Italy in September 2009 President Frank Maceroni
and Guy Diponio (Representing the Windsor Essex
Economic Development Corporation and also a member of
the Ciociaro Club) made a trip to the Campus of the
University of Cassino to explain our interest in this
potential co-operation. Prior to their trip the University of
Windsor had already expressed an interest through Dr.
Antonio Rossini, and Dr. Bruce Tucker VP. International
Education.
This agreement is unique because it will allow students to
take classes at both universities - in any faculty. It is also
unique because the university will use Cassino as its base
for all students interested in Central or Southern Italy (they
already have an accord with University of Udine for
Northern Italy). This obviously is a great advantage to those
of Ciociaro background because the University of Cassino
is located in the Province of Frosinone literally minutes
away from the home town of most of our membership.
Dr. Rossini of the University of Windsor stated:“Our newly
re-established Italian Degree is unique in Canada in that it
requires each of our students to study in Italy for one
complete year. This new partnership with the University of
Cassino will allow our students from Windsor – many of
whom are of Ciociaro descent - to frequent a prestigious
university in Central Italy and also learn about the beautiful
culture of the Ciociaria”
Guy Diponio acknowledged that: “The other important
factor in this agreement is that it pertains to every faculty.
For example if a student is studying engineering, or
architecture, they will be able to take advantage of a major
Fiat Automotive Hub located in Cassino, and the historic
architecture located throughout the Ciociaria and
surrounding areas ...it is truly a remarkable opportunity”.
President Frank Maceroni “ This is an extremely important
initiative in that our children will have another opportunity
to learn about our culture. Equally , as important we have
successfully positioned the University of Cassino to receive
students from various backgrounds (Italian and non Italian)
thereby giving others an opportunity to learn about our
region. Lastly, we also expect an increase of Italian students
studying in Windsor which will provide cultural and
economic benefits to Windsor and Essex County.
For more information please contact the Ciociaro Club, c/o
Frank Maceroni/Anna Vitti @ (519) 737-6153.
Siamo felici di annunciare che queste due prestigiose universita’
hanno firmato un trattato storico per la cooperazione, il quale sara’
per loro un immenso beneficio per lo sviluppo di futuri programmi.
Questa iniziativa fu concepita in seguito al riuscitissimo
gemellaggio storico tra la citta’ di Frosinone ed il Comune di
Tecumseh.
Mentre in Italia lo scorso settembre 2009, il Presidente Maceroni e
Guy Diponio (rappresentante del “Windsor Essex Economic
Development Corporation” e socio del Ciociaro Club), fecero una
visita al Campus dell’Universita’ di Cassino per esprimere i nostri
desideri per questa eventuale cooperazione. Prima di questa visita
l’Universita’ di Windsor aveva gia’ espresso il suo desiderio per
mezzo del Dott. Antonio Rossini e del Dott. Bruce Tucker VP.
International Education.
Questo e’ un accordo unico in quanto favorisce agli studenti di
frequentare classi ad ambedue Universita’ – in qualsiasi facolta’. E’
unico perche’ Windsor potra’ fare uso di Cassino come sua base per
tutti gli studenti interessati all’Italia Centrale ed al Sud-Italia (esiste
gia’ un accordo con l’Universita’ di Udine per il Nord-Italia).
Questo e’ un vantaggio ovvio per coloro che sono di discendenza
ciociara, in quanto l’Universita’ di Cassino e’ sita nella provincia di
Frosinone, percio’ a poca distanza dai paesi ai quali la maggioranza
dei nostri soci sono legati.
Il Dott. Rossini dell’Universita’ di Windsor dichiaro’: “Il nostro
ristabilito Decreto Italiano e’ unico in Canada ed obbliga ognuno
dei nostri studenti a studiare in Italia per un intero anno. Questa
nuova collaborazione con l’Universita’ di Cassino permettera’ ai
nostri studenti di Windsor – tanti di loro di discendenza Ciociara –
di frequentare una prestigiosa universita’ in Italia Centrale e di avere
così l’opportunita’ di studiare la bella e ricca cultura ciociara”.
Guy Diponio confermo’ che: “L’altro importante fattore in questo
accordo e’ che si riferisce a tutte le facolta’. Per esempio se gli
studenti scelgono ingegneria, o architettura, essi avranno
l’opportunita’ di visitare, o trovare lavoro co-op presso uno dei piu’
grandi stabilimenti della Fiat (proprio di Cassino), o nella ricca
architettura storica sita in tutta la Ciociaria e d’intorni... una
meravigliosa opportunita’”.
Il Presidente Frank Maceroni: “Questa e’ una iniziativa
estremamente importante, in quanto i nostri discendendi avranno
un’altra opportunita’ di immergersi nella nostra cultura. E’
similmente importante il fatto che abbiamo messo l’Universita’ di
Cassino in una posizione in cui potra’ ricevere nostri studenti, anche
non italiani e percio’ dare ad altri l’opportunita’ di informarsi delle
caratteristiche della nostra regione. Infine, ci aspettiamo anche un
incremento di studenti all’Universita’ di Windsor e cio’ apportera’
benefici economici e culturali alla citta’ di Windsor e alla Contea di
Essex”.

CIOCIARIA: A HERITAGE OF WHICH YOU SHOULD BE PROUD!
Papa Gregorio IX - Ugolino dei Conti di Segni
Nato ad Anagni, tra il 1145 e il 1150, fu Papa Gregorio IX
(1227-1241).
Spesso considerato fondatore dell’Inquisizione, nel 1232.
Fu nominato cardinale nel 1198. Curò il nuovo Ordine
Francescano, tendendo a disciplinarlo secondo le tradizioni
e gli scopi della Chiesa. Divenuto Papa il 19 marzo 1227,
all’età di ottanta anni, uno dei primi atti del suo pontificato
fu la sospensione di Federico II (imperatore),
scomunicandolo per ben due volte nella città di Anagni. Una
conseguente invasione del patrimonio di San Pietro su
ordine di Federico, nel 1228, riuscì pienamente e Gregorio
IX fu costretto a implorare la pace, ma la gente di Roma era
lontana dall’essere soddisfatta; scacciato da una rivolta
nella sua capitale nel giugno 1232, il Papa fu costretto a
trovare rifugio ad Anagni e ad invocare l’aiuto di Federico.
Un nuovo scoppio di ostilità tra i due, portò ad una nuova
scomunica dell’imperatore nel 1239, e ad una prolungata
guerra che terminò solo con la morte di Gregorio, il 22
agosto 1241. Dal 1232 istituì i Tribunali dell’Inquisizione, affidati inizialmente a frati
domenicani. I tribunali erano dotati di ampi poteri per le province ecclesiastiche su cui
avevano giurisdizione. Gregorio IX, talmente eloquente da essere paragonato a Cicerone, fu
anche un avvocato notevolmente abile e istruito.
Fu inoltre il responsabile della canonizzazione di Santa Elisabetta, San Domenico di Guzman,
Sant’Antonio da Padova, e di San Francesco d’Assisi (16 luglio 1228), di cui era amico intimo,
tanto che posò la prima pietra della chiesa di San Francesco in Assisi. Fondò presso il Laterano
un Ospedale per gli infermi poveri. Nel 1239 riuscì a riunire gli Armeni alla Chiesa Latina. La
sua invasione dei diritti della Chiesa inglese, è ben nota; ma tentativi simili contro le libertà della
chiesa nazionale di Francia, servirono solo a provocare la sanzione pragmatica di San Luigi.
GREGORIO IX
Born in Anagni, between 1145 and 1150 a.C., he was Pope Gregorio IX (1227-1241). He was
often believed to be the founder of The Inquisition, in 1232. He was nominated Cardinal in
1198 and was given the charge of the new Franciscan Order, making sure it adhered to the
traditions and the purposes of the Church. He became pope March 19, 1227, at the age of 80
and one the first actions of his papacy was the suspension of Frederick II, excommunicating
him twice in the city of Anagni. After a subsequent successful invasion of St. Peter by
Frederick in 1228, Gregorio was forced to strike a peace accord, but the general population
of Rome was not happy, revolted, and the pope was kicked out of the Capital in June 1232,
finding refuge in Anagni and forced by the circumstances to get help from Frederick. A new
break of hostilities between the two men, generated a new excommunication of Frederick by
the pope in 1239 and a new long war, which it only ended with the death of the pope, August
22, 1241. In 1232 Gregorio instituted the Tribunals of The Inquisition, originally entrusted
to the Dominican Brothers. These tribunals were very powerful in their own jurisdictions.
Compared to Cicero by means of his eloquence, the pope was also a very able and well
educated lawyer. He was also responsible for the canonization of Saint Elisabetta, Saint
Domenico di Guzman, Saint Antonio of Padua and of Saint Francesco of Assisi (July 16,
1228), of which he has been a very good friend and set the first stone in the construction of
the church of Saint Francesco in Assisi. In the Laterano district the pope established a
hospital for the poor infirm. In 1239 he was able to unite the Armenians to the Latin Church.
He was somewhat successful to influence his authority in the English Church, but similar
attempts to do the same with the National French Church, were thwarted, causing only the
pragmatic sanctions of Saint Luigi.
