What does “Hic
manebimus optime” mean ?
Titus Livius
reports about it.
Titus Livius
was a Roman historian who wrote a monumental history of Rome (“Ab Urbe
Condita”) about the origin of Rome (traditionally dated to 753 BC)
through the reign of Augustus (the age when Jesus Christ was born).
Titus Livius wrote
that the sentence “Hic manebimus optime”
was pronounced by a soldier during the civil war between
“plebei” (poors) and “patrizi” (aristocrats). Plebei were against Patrizi
because their poor condition of life: plebei were not slaves but “working
poors” under the orders of Patrizi families.
At that time,
Marcus Furius Camillus, a very important senator, addressed to the plebei
who intended to abandon the city and commute to Velio, an old city that was
gained by Rome in nearby.
Marcus Furius
Camillus didn’t success to convince the plebei to remain at Rome, and they
were on the point to leave Rome when a “centuriore” (a Roman soldier), that
was coming back from the battle against Velio,
stopped in the area and said: “Hic manebimus optime”, i.e. “Here we’ll stay
very well”. The plebei understood that Rome was a good place to live, and
they changed theur minds. The Rome history went on thanks the “Hic manebimus
optime” sentence.
What about
Palazzo Ferretti ? Why we like this sentence ?
We want to use
this motto because we think that Pietrasanta is a nice place to enjoy, to
have holidays, to relax, to study art and history, to carve marble, to have
beach holidays and so on.
