On the slopes of Monte Serra, in a place once called “water coast”, there was the hermitage of the saints Jacopo and Verano, now known with the name of San Bernardo in kicks. This construction belonged to the Camaldolese order and depended on the monastery of San Michele in Borgo a Pisa. The complex, passed in the XIV to the Augustinian order, is definitively abandoned in the eighteenth century, reaching private hands: the church still exists, restored in 1969. The small -size Pisan Romanesque building has a single classroom planimetric system rectangular, without apse. The wall paramento is made up of verrucano councils.<\/p>\n","modified":"2022-10-03T15:53:25","color":"","icon":"","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"zindex":"","image":"http:\/\/ir.be.webmapp.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/27-300x300.jpg","accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"reachability":{"by_bike":{"check":false,"description":""},"on_foot":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_car":{"check":false,"description":""},"by_public_transportation":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"en","source":"http:\/\/ir.be.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/6770","wp_edit":"http:\/\/ir.be.webmapp.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=6770&action=edit","translations":{"it":{"id":1273,"name":"V1.2 - Chiesa dei Santi Jacopo e Verano alla Costa d'acqua","web":"http:\/\/ir.be.webmapp.it\/v1-2-chiesa-dei-santi-jacopo-e-verano-alla-costa-dacqua\/","source":"http:\/\/ir.be.webmapp.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/1273","description":"\n

In the past centuries the hill where the small cult building stands was indicated as \"\"water coast\"\", that is \"\"Monte dell'Acqua\"\", due to the numerous sources that were present in the area.\r\nIn ancient times, in the first part of its history, the church constitutes the cult building of the hermitage entitled to the saints Jacopo and Verano and is dedicated to them. The hermitage constitutes one of the many hermit settlements present in the Pisan mountains, that is, small communities of monks dedicated to poverty, solitude, prayer but also at the service of the inhabitants who live nearby.\r\nThe first news reported to the small hermit community consists of a donation of real estate and land dating back to 1209, by four Calcesi in favor of the hermitage Bernardo, coming precisely of the hermitage of the Saints Jacopo and Verano. The small church - which will subsequently be named in San Bernardo - constitutes the original place of worship of the hermitage, probably connected to some hermit cells scattered throughout the mountain.\r\nWith the end of the twelfth century, the hermitage of coast of water concludes the oldest period of its existence and with the beginning of the thirteenth century, thanks to the donation of 1209, a new one begins: the donation represents for the Hermit the opportunity to begin a phase of renewal, promoted by Friar Bernardo, during which new hermit resources are built - three to be precise - and a new church, alternative to the small chapel subject to this description, in the closer position to the town of kicks. With the new houses, the original nuclei of the villages called Caprile di Sopra and Caprile di Sotto are created. The ancient cenobitic complexes are currently used for private residences, however some building tracks related to previous uses are still visible. The Church of New Construction, identified as the one named after Sant'Antonio da Padova, in the locality of Colleosso, assumes the dedication to the Saints Jacopo and Verano, while the ancient one is renamed with the title of San Bernardo, presumably to the dual purpose of perpetuating the Memory of the visit of San Bernardo di Chiaravalle to the Romitorio, which took place just over half a century before - on the occasion of the Synod of Pisa of 1135 organized by Pope Innocent II - and for devotion to the saint to whom the friar who had undertaken the expansion of the hermitage He owed his name. In an attempt to stem the influence of the expanding religious community, any pastoral function relating to the care of souls is initially precluded. The Camaldolese Annals declare that \"\"starting from this date - 1210 - we have news of this new hermitage of the SS for the first time. Jacopo and Verano \u00bband this is the first distinction that the texts make between ancient and new hermitage\u00bb. A few years later, in 1215, for the hermit complex, an affiliation process was started at the Camaldolese monastery of San Michele in Borgo in Pisa, as required by the Benedictine rule, observed in the Hermitage.\r\nIn the first part of the thirteenth century, in fact, a process of transforming the hermitic phenomenon in general, favored by the Apostolic See, which tends to an evolution of hermit life in the direction of the Benedictine institution, which adds to the asceticism, characterized by a severe isolation, is manifested, which a community character. A first partial success in this sense is achieved in 1243 by Pope Innocent IV, who manages to bring together the scattered communities in the union of the Tuscan hermits.\r\nThe successor of the Pontiff, Pope Alexander IV, manages to perform the work of Union, giving life in 1256 to the Order of the Hermiti of Sant'Agostino. The prior Bernardo is present in the general chapter of the Order of 1250 and 1 September 1266, together with the Priori of the Pisan province and the hermitages of Rupecava and Cavina, makes commitments with the cathedral chapter for the construction in Pisa of an Augustinian conventStarting from the second half of the thirteenth century, the entire hermitage takes on the title of San Bernardo. The ancient title of the saints Jacopo and Verano, in fact, progressively falls into disuse and both in documents and in the texts, the amanuensis very often use the diction of \"\"hermitage of San Bernardo to the coast of water\"\". This can mean how strong the attraction of the ancient Church was, for the very high value of the traditions and sacred memories linked to it, but also how much force had that semi -interdiction that kept the new church in a secondary position, on the margins, in the development of liturgical life and the exercise of the cult of the Hermitage.\r\nIn the second half of the thirteenth century, the hermitage lives the period of greatest development, in which its prestige and the fame of the hermits that visit it is great. In 1287 the hermitage passed to the Olivetan Augustinians of the Romitorio of Agnano.\r\nThe conclusion of the hermit life dates back to 1476 when, after the renunciation of \"\"Magister Cristoforo\"\", his last rector, the hermitage now in ruins and with insufficient income is combined with the convent of Sant'Agostino di Rezzano di kicks. The Augustinians hold the hermitage of the coast of water until the eighteenth century, the era in which the Romitorial is definitively abandoned and its assets, including churches, pass in private property. The dwellings scattered throughout the mountain and cenobi are reduced to rural uses or, as we have remembered, civilians.\r\nIn 1819 the church of San Bernardo, then belonging to a Pisan family, was described as a falling following a pastoral visit. The building subsequently passes owned, is restored and reopened to worship in 1880, San Bernardo holidays. However, the passage of time again reduces the Church in abandonment and in precarious conditions of stability.\r\nIn 1969, by the Superintendency of Monuments of Pisa, the restoration was started, with which the foundations and the perimeter walls are reinforced and removed the superstructures leaning against the temple. Currently the small church of San Bernardo is managed, together with other properties located nearby, by an agritourism cooperative.","rilevanza_stile_romanico":"The Pisan Romanesque small -style building has a single rectangular classroom plant, without apse.
