Mutignano is a frazione of Pineto and located in the Province of Teramo in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Pineto's other frazioni include Borgo Santa Maria Immaculata, Colle Morino, Croce Ferretti, Scerne, Torre Cerrano, and Torre San Rocco. Until 1930, Mutignano was the administrative center for the Pineto area. Mutignano predates the establishment of the commune of Pineto by over 1000 years. Mutignano sits on a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea with the Gran Sasso Mountains in the background. ==History== Mutignano was, for long time bound to the adjacent and more important locale of Atri. However, this small town surely boasts its own very ancient story. The village by 958 already appears on its face to be a consolidated settlement. The assets were subject to the diocese of Penne, subject to the abby of San Giovanni de Venere (in Fossacesia), and by 1140, 48 families count themselves as residents. By 1193 the village nearly doubled in population. On April 1, 1251 Mutignano is transferred to the new diocese of Atri. According to an old traditional history, taken from the writings of Atrian humanist Luigi Illuminati, specifically in the 14th century, Slavic immigration came to Mutignano. According to Illuminatati, the presence of the Slavs were said to have originated from ancient Ragusa, today Dubrovnik, and not only have left traces in the physical appearance of the residents and in the religion of the patron saint S. Ilario, but also in the local dialect, bringing characteristic details not rediscovered elsewhere in the regions. It appears nevertheless more likely than the arrival of people from the opposite coast of Adriatic – not only the Slavs but also Albanians - occurred in the first half of the fifteenth century, in a period of a still not intense but significant flow of Balkan populations that was interested the territories of the adriatic Mezzogiorno. As confirmation of this supposition, in the Atrian land registry of 1447 in the part reported for Mutignano, there appears among the proprietors of the residences, a Nardi Andreas (alias Albanian) and a Damiano (alias duraczino, that is to say originally of Durazzo (today Durrës, the second largest city of Albania)). Rapid is the development, and the progressively greater importance of Mutignano in this fertile farmland region, that in the 17th century there arrives the Consiglio of Atri and until, March 14, 1729, when Mutignano obtains the separation and later on, in 1809, the establishment of an autonomous parish. In the second half of the nineteenth century Mutignano, now for some time an autonomous commune, reached over 2 thousand residents. But with the opening of the (Adriatic Line) railroad station in the lower coastal area, there was the strong growth of Villa Filiani, the original nucleus of present-day Pineto. The railway throughout the Adriatic coast (especially in Teramo and Pescara) reversed the centuries-old importance of the hilltowns and the relationship to their coasts. Thus Pineto grew in importance at the expense of Mutignano; similarly as Silvi Marina grew in importance over Silvi Alta; Montesilvano Marina grew over Montesilavno Colle, etc. On May 30, 1930, it was decreed that the transfer of the municipal seat to the village of Pineto was official, while Mutignano took on the role of frazione of the Town of Pineto. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mutignano」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
