Interesting Information
Perry Como

Pierino Como 9 (Perry Como) was born on May 18, 1912, in Canonsburg, Pa., one of 13 children of Pietro and Lucia Travaglini Como, who had immigrated to the United States from the Abruzzi region of Italy. The elder Como, who had a fine baritone voice, worked in the Standard Tin Plate factory in Canonsburg, a small town in the coal- mining region southwest of Pittsburgh. The town had much in common with the Abruzzi he had left: it was a place where people toiled long and hard.

Perry Como started working at the age of 10, sweeping out Steve Fragapane's barber shop for 50 cents a week. He quickly learned how to strop razors and lather brushes, and by the time he was 14 he owned his own barbershop, giving trims to miners. He picked up extra money on weekends, singing for the local chapter of the Sons of Italy and other fraternal organizations.

Historic Information
La grotta Fragapane - La tomba di Terone

Si tratta del maggiore cimitero sotterraneo agrigentino, in uso nei secoli VI e V, che coinvolge, nel suo sviluppo, alcune cisterne e diversi sili di età greca. Descritto dai viaggiatori del '700 è stato oggetto di studio fin dal secolo scorso. Il cimitero si sviluppa da nord a sud ed è strettamente collegato con la necropoli paleocristiana sub-divo a nord e con quella romana, detta Giambertoni a sud, per mezzo di due ingressi perfettamente conservati con soglie e stipiti. Il corridoio a cielo aperto ai lati del quale sono fittamente allineate le formae della necropoli sub-divo, si presenta come un dromos.
Lungo le mura meridionali di Agrigento, nel tratto compreso tra il Tempio della Concordia e il Tempio di Giunone, si trovano numerosi sepolcri entro arcosoli in più ordini sovrapposti o in piccole camere ipogeiche
L' heroon detto Tomba di Terone si distingue per le particolarità architettoniche e lo stato di conservazione; esso è avvicinabile ad esempi asiani e africani. Si compone di due parti sovrapposte; un podio cubico (lato m 4,81) alto m 3,91 con base e cornice modanata, e tempietto a pianta quadrata (m 3,97) alto m 3,73, pareti piene con finte porte doriche riquadrate, colonne angolari di tipo ionico-attico e trabeazione dorica, di cui restano l' epistilio e il fregio, metope e triglifi. E' probabile il suo completamento con un terzo elemento a forma di alta cuspide, come in heroa africani del III sec. d.C.
