  • A Virtual Train Journey Along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome
    Italian Culture Newsletter Number 22 A Virtual Train Journey along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome. Marie and I have made this journey on a number of occasions. In doing so we have either made the journey in a single day albeit with a change of train, usually at Genova. On other occasions, we have spent an evening or even a few days at Genova and/or at Livorno or Pisa. The journey described will involve more stops on the way but could be more interesting on that account. The trip begins in Ventimiglia where we stayed overnight on our last day of our last holiday in Italy. This had been occasioned by the French railway strike which prevented any trains from running from Ventimiglia to Nice on the day of our arrival from Rome into the city at the Italian- French border in Liguria. Our first visit to Ventimiglia was in 2006 when some Italian friends from Cuneo, due north of Ventimiglia, in Piemonte, met us at the rail station in Ventimiglia to take us for a short stay at their apartment in Nice. On that occasion we didn’t see much of the city except for part of the old medieval town, which now mostly is the home of many of the southerners from Naples, Calabria and Sicily who moved north seeking employment after WWII. The old town is perched high above the new city with its long sea-front promenade and railway station. Ventimiglia is the ancient Albium Intemelium, the capital of the Intemelii, a Ligurian tribe which long resisted the Romans, until in 115 BC it was forced to submit to Marcus Aemilius Scaurus.

Costituisce un comune della provincia di Livorno con sede comunale nel centro di Capraia Isola. È di origine vulcanica e attraversata da una dorsale montuosa culminante nel monte Castello (447 m), da cui scendono valli solcate da corsi d’acqua, detti vadi. La costa è in gran parte rocciosa, con numerose grotte. Notevole è la fortezza di San Giorgio, edificata nel XV sec. Dal 1872 è sede di una colonia agricola penale. Isola d’Elba La maggiore isola dell’arcipelago toscano e la terza per superficie (223,5 km²) fra le isole italiane (prov. Livorno). Capol. Portoferraio. Ha coste frastagliate ed è prevalentemente montuosa; orograficamente si divide in tre parti: la parte orientale, che culmina nella Cima del Monte (516 m), quella centrale formata da colline che si riannodano al monte Orello (377 m) e quella occidentale occupata tutta dalla massa del monte Capanne (1.019 m), il più elevato dell’isola. Queste tre parti sono distinte anche per caratteri geologici: quella orientale è formata da scisti paleozoici e da calcari e arenarie paleo e mesozoiche contenenti cospicui giacimenti ferriferi; quella centrale è formata da rocce eruttive, come serpentine, diabase e porfidi, mentre in quella occidentale il monte Capanne è formato da grano dioriti; intorno a esso sta un anello di rocce metamorfiche. I giacimenti di ferro sono ancora oggi sfruttati e i minerali sono inviati agli stabilimenti siderurgici di Piombino, Portoferraio e Bagnoli.

Introduction During several centuries a wide belt in the middle of Europe, from Denmark to Sicily, was divided into a mol- titude of small self-governing states. Two high authori- ties - the Pope and the Emperor - ruled over them from a distance. Germany and Italy, today’s major states in this region, achieved national unity in the second half of 19th century (Italy in 1861, Germany in 1870), much later than Spain, France, United Kingdom, or Russia. This fragmentation of Italy stimulated the appetite of greater powers and attracted foreign conquerors. As a result, through the 16th and 17th centuries the number of the separate states in Italy was dramatically reduced. The smaller (and weaker) ones were rubbed off the map so that around 1700 there were about 20 of them left in Italy while in Germany there were 300 or 400.
