  • Guided Small Group Cycling Tour
    Guided small group cycling tour Amalfi Coast & Cilento Cycling the Coast of the Sirens Enjoy the best of southern Italy: from the unknown Cilento to the dramatic Amalfi Coast TRIP NOTES 2020 © Genius Loci Travel. All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Guided small group cycling tour INTRODUZIONE The regions of Amalfi and the Cilento have been known as a paradise on earth since ancient times. The Greeks built some of their most impressive temples here and under the Romans they formed part of ‘Campania Felix’, or the Happy Land. When travelling here, one easily becomes overwhelmed by the well-known cultural and natural attractions of the famous ‘Costiera Amalfitana’ with its towering cliffs and picturesque coves. However, the Cilento region south of Salerno, now one of Italy’s biggest National Parks, where the coastline bulges out into an expanse of mountainous landmass, is also well worth a visit. This tour gives you the opportunity to discover both the busy, touristy Amalfi and the quiet, peaceful Cilento. Here in the Cilento National Park you pass through world-famous cultural sites that are UNESCO World Heritage listed, such as Velia and Paestum, and visit some of the nicest medieval villages in the area, both along the coast and slightly inland, where the traditional way of life is still evident. All these attractions are connected by great well-paved and quiet roads, ideal for cycling. Of course there will also be plenty of time to enjoy the splendid beaches and wonderful food on offer.

  • Ida Fazio Women and Men in Illicit Trades Between the Kingdom Of
    Ida Fazio Women and men in illicit trades between the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Naples during the commercial crisis of the Continental Blockade and the Napoleonic wars (Stromboli, 1808-1816) This paper focuses on men and women, given their position in the household economy, in their participation in illicit trade carried out on the small Sicilian island of Stromboli (one of the seven islands of the Aeolian Archipelago, which was part of the Kingdom of Sicily) during the years of the Napoleonic wars (1803-1815) and Continental Blockade (1806-1814). I will address some hypotheses on the impact that the ensuing international crisis in legal trade involving the warring European states in the Mediterranean had on the local economy, which combined fishing and agricultural activities on a family basis. The Blockade prohibited English ships from docking in French or allied ports, and vice versa, and trade between France and England and their respective allies was forbidden.1 This was a drastic blow to international trade2 and illicit trade developed in Europe in an attempt to circumvent the prohibitions.3 Illicit trade flourished also on Stromboli, and the island, due to its position on the border between the two fronts (the Kingdom of Sicily allied to England and the Kingdom of Naples under the domination of France), became a favored place for smuggling and illegal sale of privateer’s prize goods who, during the war, authorized by the states’ governments, attacked ships flying the enemy flag. The hypothesis here proposed is that the international trade crisis was an additional resource for Stromboli and its inhabitants (who had gradually populated the island just during the previous century) as it was a chance to integrate itself into the network of maritime traffic that up until then had been dominated by the two biggest islands of the archipelago, Lipari and Salina.

  • A Companion to the Archaeology of Early Greece and the Mediterranean, Volume 2
    CHAPTER 5.9 The Bay of Naples Matteo D’Acunto Introduction and Topography For the ancient Greeks, Campania in a broad sense meant the Bay of Naples, from Cape Misenum to the Sorrentine peninsula. It took its name from its shape, something like a krater (Strabo 5.4.8). Campania stretches inland to incorporate the volcanic region of the Phlegrean Fields (Campi Flegrei), and the territory from the rivers Volturnus and Clanis at the northwest, an area renowned in antiquity for its fertility, to Mount Vesuvius and the valley of the river Sarno on the east, right up to the ridges of the Apennines. The Bay of Naples includes the volcanic islands of Ischia and Procida with Vivara, north beyond Cape Misenum, as well as the island of Capri just off the Sorrentine peninsula at the south. Pithekoussai was established on Ischia, whilst Cumae (Greek Kyme), Dikaiarcheia (Pozzuoli), and Parthenope/Neapolis (Naples) were founded on the coastline. One of the main purposes of the foundation of Cumae – probably the most important one – was to control the northern areas up to the river Clanis for agriculture. The Etruscan center of Capua domi- nated the Campanian plain close to the Volturnus. South of the Sorrentine peninsula, the main Etruscan settlement of Pontecagnano held the Picentino plain up to the river Sele (Strabo 5.4.3–13; Polybius 3.91; Pliny, Natural History, 3.60–65; cf. Frederiksen 1984: pp. 1–30; Mele 2014: pp. VII–XIII). According to an early tradition, Lake Avernus, close to Cumae, was the location for the gates of Hades, also an oracle where one might consult the souls of the dead, whilst nearby flowed the infernal river Styx and the swamp of the Acheron stretched (Pseudo-Scymnus, Periplous or Periegesis 236–243; Ephorus, FGrHist 70 F 134 = Strabo 5.4.5; cf.
