::: GENERALE AVITABILE ::: PORTALE di Colle Salario ROMA

1850 are the year of the dead women of illustrious ours concittadino, general Paul Crescenzo Martino Avitabile. The Avitabile extinguished in its castle of S. Lazzaro to Agerola 28 March. Its unexpected passing was a cold shower on the hopes of the Agerolesi, that they knew the plans of the general and its great love for the earth natìa. After its dead women, to the choruses of cordoglio and appreciation, contrapposero subjects of gossip and illazioni and if of it it criticized the mind hardness. One said that from civil governatore of Peshawar it had used the strong fist with the rebellious ones that they upsot the order in 1838, than to Jamrad had executed with the hanging the traitors and that to the briganti it had made to cut the language. But we believe that merits of great historical relief cannot be disownn to this man. The Avitabile was full man of ambition, but also a personage of great talent, indomito courage and intelligent ability to administrator and strategist. Neither the Avitabile was only the Mediterranean male who "Ranjit Singh

it encouraged to form a harem of first choice, but he was also the constructor of the city of Wazirabad and bazaar second the canoni European. And people were bewitched from the beauty of new bazaar "(the year 1897). Sin that has gone lost its per diem one of travel, of which ago signal C. Grey, author of the text on the adventurers in the Italy North, per diem that according to the reporter was guarded in the castle of S. Lazzaro.

The per diem one brought back the report of the travels and many adventurous enterprises, of the bitterness, the realizations of the dreams and the disappointments. From a text that filler news on generates them Luck, Allard, Court and Avitabile, we learn that general Avitabile had had the commando of 2548 men in the Punjab.

And just in the Punjab the general had piled up hundred of migliaia of rupie. A reverend, such Wolff narrates, than in 1839, when English had organized the invasion of the Afghanistan, general Avitabile gave they a hand and they repaid it helping it to transfer its moneies near the Bank of England. The extraordinary human vicissitude of Abu Tabela, as they called in East the general, that it wants to say Tabela Father, places it in a halo of intramontabile fascination.

To he Agerola erected monumental tomba the building in the church of S. Martino Bishop in the fraction of Campora. Tomba that is placed on the common wall to the church and its house natìa, where had come to the 25 light October 1791.

On the lapide the more meaningful stages of its splendid career are brought back:

On the inferior part it enunciates in bassorilievo impettito busto of the general between a gun carriage of gun and the some guns.

The epitaffio it concludes with the directory of the several decorations of the general:

Knight of the Legion of Honor and S. Ferdinand Merit, Knight of the Order of Durani and Ranjit Singh, Great Cord of the Lion and Sun of Persia, Great Cord of the two Lions and the Crown of Persia, Great Cord of the Shining Star of the Punjab.
