the team of diggers concludes that a bare building in 1996 could be the mausoleum
“We have no proof, but very strong indications that border on certainty,” said the director of excavations, Konstandinos Sismanidis, told local media.
Sismanidis presented the results at the international conference “Aristotle – two thousand 400 years,” held at the University of Thessaloniki.
The team around Sismanidis it concluded that a bare building in 1996 in those excavations can not be anything other than the mausoleum of Aristotle, after analyzing two manuscripts in which reference was made to transfer of the ashes of the philosopher to his hometown.
A archaeologists working in Estagira since the beginning of the 1990s surprised that in the midst of a fortification of the Byzantine period were remains of a building, whose characteristics do not coincide with the time or with later eras.
Findings inside the ruins of the building -coin Alexander the Great and his successors put its construction at the beginning of the Hellenistic period.
The roof remains found in this archaeological site they showed that it had made real factory tiles, demonstrating that it was a public building.
The building is located between the V century B.C. gallery and a temple of Zeus sixth century B.C., within the old city near the agora, and panoramic views.
On the floor of the building is a rectangle of 1.30 by 1.70 meters, which corresponds to an altar.
All these indications and the fact that the shape of the building did not allow ascribing other use than a tomb, archaeologists raised the suspicion that it was a mausoleum.
Finally, they concluded that probably the person who was dedicated the mausoleum was Aristotle with the help of two old documents: a translation into Arabic of the eleventh century A.D. a biography of the Greek philosopher and manuscript No. 257 of the Marciana Library of Venice.
Both documents state that when Aristotle died in 322 B.C. in the city of Halkida (current Chalkida) the people of Stagira moved their ashes to a copper urn, put it in a mausoleum and next to them built an altar.

President of OLA, Dario Lopérfido, also minister of culture of the city of Buenos Aires and director of the Teatro Colon in the capital of Argentina, chattered with Informer on the importance of an initiative such as OLA, founded in 2007. “the role of OLA is to build a network between the theaters that already operate, to take a lot of energy and rage. Allowing is the exchange, counseling, help each other and having co-productions “. The minister of Buenosairean culture added that OLA is similar to Opera Europe or Opera America, networks theaters in Europe or the United States, respectively institution
This collaborative network allows more shows at lower cost.: “we can build co-productions between two, three, four theaters. Generating low prices: it costs an opera is divided by four, and the same opera can be seen by most citizens in the countries involved. Better negotiate with artists, with copyright, “Darius said.
On the advantages of production together, Martí (executive director of OLA and director of the Municipal Theater of Santiago in Chile) he said: “opera rates usually are maintained. Yes there is a price reduction, but when the public pays its entrance is a quarter of production. Some productions leave no deficit, allows us to perform other productions. ” “It has a social revenue: if we save on production, we can invest in technology, it’s what we do. Or coproduction in works for children: achicamos costs and those savings the work is free for children from public schools in marginalized areas, “said Dario
OLA also has the ability to brand a lot.. It Dario talked: “In the Colón Theatre premiered a lot: we have two rooms, and in a much premiered contemporary works. With the network can know each other, make your trip more work, circulate among the partners. The existence of a network makes new artists are better known. ” Culture plays an important role in society, in the opinion of Darius Lopérfido. During his talk, he emphasized the role that cultural activities and entertainment in generating direct and indirect jobs.

Alejandra Marti shared some of the technological advances in the network of theaters “from Chile recently began with streaming, like the Mayor Teatro Julio Mario Santo Domingo (of Colombia) while the Teatro Colon has a radius of its historical archive, in addition to live broadcasts when they function. Their transmissions the premiered with Daniel Barenboim function, which exceeded 72,000 online viewers. “
To Lopérfido, the goal is” the greatest number of people access content “because one of the goals is the generation of new audiences. In that sense, Martí said a communication strategy Chilean theater to break down the prejudices around bel canto: the clothes, the price and the barrier enclosure as an inaccessible building for ordinary people are some of the myths that fight <. / p>
Another role of OLA is external advice: “not only among us: anyone who asks us teaching work can do. We have much experience in the work of theater for children. It has particularities: specific work to shorten scores, create adaptations. It is a job that few people know, and that we offer to institutions that want to know about this. We work as a foundation that works for what our own, but we have no problem with providing these consulting services “.
