time ago, I received with pleasure the publication edited by Dr. Caliandro CATALDO, magisterium, S. Rocco Caliandro Ecc.za Bishop (born in Ceglie January 22, 1872 and died in Termoli March 16, 1924): Firmamentum meum Dominus. The Magisterium of Bishop Rocco Caliandro, Bishop of Termoli 1912 to 1924 , Manduria 2010. The author, grandson of the ECC. Mo Bishop, published excerpts from the Bishops' pastoral letters and directives, which help to understand the religious and ecclesiastical life of the Diocese of Southern Italy, with various problems of disciplinary and doctrinal nature- pastoral. The Bishop Caliandro, dedicated just to the age of 40 years, brilliant priest of the clergy and the Diocesan cegliese Oria, was able to spend himself for the good of the people of Termoli, which was entrusted by Pope Saint Pius X. His pastoral zeal, however, was not devoid of bitterness and sorrow, who introduced him to an early death at only 52 years of age. Son of our people, as a boy had done his apprenticeship la bottega di un calzolaio. La sua vivida intelligenza e la propensione per lo studio fecero di lui un provetto latinista, tanto da esssere considerato il migliore del suo tempo - secondo quanto afferma l'Avv. Giuseppe Magno nella sua Storia di Ceglie Messapica -, un sacerdote pio ed attento alle necessità spirituali e materiali del proprio gregge, un Vescovo intrepido e zelante. Purtroppo, la sua morte prematura, ha privato la Chiesa italiana di un esponente prestigioso; se non fosse deceduto anzitempo, avrebbe sicuramente percorso una carriera molto significativa nell'ambito della gerarchia cattolica meridionale. La sua salma riposa nella monumentale cappella di famiglia, nel cimitero di Ceglie Messapica, sulla cui facciata si staglia nettamente il suo stemma vescovile, reproduced on the cover of the volume in question.
At this point, however, allow me to move some kind of relief at the rate Caliandro, however it must be appreciated for its remarkable meritorietà. Within the volume there is no comprehensive biography is the Bishop and Caliandro is on the same family, who arrived in Ceglie in the second half of the 600. The name of Greek origin Caliandro (whose literal meaning is: handsome ) is typically a surname cegliese, which corresponds in meaning to the surname BELLOMO widespread in Bari and its surroundings. The family has given our community Caliandro town famous men: among others, a certain Antonio Caliandro, in the first half of the 700 was the lawyer of Ceglie, priests and religious, as the Bishop Domenico Caliandro and the current pastor of our great Collegiate Church, Sac. Gianni Caliandro. Hopefully, at this point, that in the near future, the author overcomes these and other gaps with another more thorough and systematic search.
