This is the house where Giuseppe Pianese was born on the 19th of March,1861 (Saint Joseph’s day), in Civitanova del Sannio (via Roma).
After completing his elementary studies, he left home and moved to Campobasso in order to continue his studies in Convitto Nazionale “Mario Pagano”.
Giuseppe Pianese's house
On the front of the house has been placed a little marble tablet in his honor. The engraved phrase is the following: "CIVITANOVA DEL SANNIO / PERCHE' SPLENDA PERENNEMENTE / SCRIVE NEL MARMO / IL FULGIDO NOME DEL SUO FIGLIO ELETTO / PROF. GIUSEPPE PIANESE / ACCADEMICO D'ITALIA / CULTORE INSIGNE DI SCIENZA PURA / SEMPRE E SOLO SOLLECITA / A VINCERE O A LENIRE / L'UMANO DOLORE / 1861-1933"
The Italian epigraph means: "Civitanova del Sannio / to make it shine forever / writes in marble / the shining name of his chosen son / Prof. Giuseppe Pianese / Academic of Italy / a distinguished lover of pure science / which always and only urges / to win or to soothe / the human pain / 1861-1933"
The municipality wanted to commemorate the "Tiziano dell’Istologia"1 for his studies concerning the special colors of tissues.
