The purpose of the tourist Workshop Buy Lazio is to make the Capital city’s tourist offer richer by creating, promoting and marketing hi quality products from all the Lazio region. The major goal is to enhance the knowledge of tourist attractions in all territories of the provinces of Frosinone, Latina, Rieti,Viterbo and Rome both in Italy and abroad. Every year a different geographical market is addressed according to the national and regional tourist data forecast and country strategies.The event is conceived as ‘itinerant’ and is hosted in turn by each of the five Lazio provinces. The strategy is that of operating by ‘market projects’, in other words to organize and prepare meetings between organized brokers with the tourist offer of the entire Lazio region.The offer is specialized in different product lines such as: Lazio’s Sea, Cities of Fine Arts, Food and Wine, Environment - Nature - Parks and Congresses, Religious, Sport. The workshop is especially dedicated to professionals in the field of tourism who can thus approach new markets by means of an efficient and positive action. A selection of educational tours provides operators with a chance to discover just what the region has to offer. 1Copertina_Lay-out Lazio INGOKcorr 21-09-2009 14:00 Pagina 2 etruria 1Copertina_Lay-out Lazio INGOKcorr 21-09-2009 14:00 Pagina 3 > Nature and Sport The salty wat e rs of the sea and the soft wat e rs of t h e luxuriant lakes and rive rs.

Attraversato il ponte sul fiume Sangro, che qui riceve l’affluente Torrente Fondillo, si segue brevemente la sterrata che porta all’ampio piazzale dove si parcheggia l’auto. Qui ci sono anche gli uffici e la foresteria del parco e potrebbe essere richiesto un pagamento per il parcheggio. Quindi ci si incammina lungo la Val Fondillo su una strada sterrata che passa a fianco della vecchia segheria di Opi, con il limpidissimo torrente Fondillo poco distante. Bisogna seguire la val Fondillo fino ad incontrare dopo pochi minuti un ponte con un cartello. Dopo aver attraversato il torrente, si segue il sentiero F1 sulla sinistra che per un po’ costeggia il torrente, ricco di vegetazione ripariale di salici arbustivi. Qua e là nella valle si incontrano anche salici bianchi e pioppi. Il sentiero, prima largo, dopo poco piega sulla destra e si fa più stretto cominciando a risalire attraverso la faggeta che si inerpica nel sottobosco.

A visionary and tough decision by those who have made the environment their resource and will project Abruzzo into a major and leading role in “green tourism”. Overall most of this legacy – but not all – is to be found in the mountains, where the landscapes and ecosystems change according to altitude, shifting from typically Mediterranean milieus to outright alpine scenarios, with mugo pine groves and high-altitude steppe. Of all the Apennine regions, Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature, with two thirds of its territory found at over 750 metres in altitude.This is due to the unique way that the Apennine develops in its central section, where it continues to proceed along the peninsula’s

  • The Influence of International Town Planning Ideas Upon Marcello Piacentini’S Work
    Bauhaus-Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur und Planung Symposium ‟Urban Design and Dictatorship in the 20th century: Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, Spain and Germany. History and Historiography” Weimar, November 21-22, 2013 ___________________________________________________________________________ About the Internationality of Urbanism: The Influence of International Town Planning Ideas upon Marcello Piacentini’s Work Christine Beese Kunsthistorisches Institut – Freie Universität Berlin – Germany [email protected] Last version: May 13, 2015 Keywords: town planning, civic design, civic center, city extension, regional planning, Italy, Rome, Fascism, Marcello Piacentini, Gustavo Giovannoni, school of architecture, Joseph Stübben Abstract Architecture and urbanism generated under dictatorship are often understood as a materialization of political thoughts. We are therefore tempted to believe the nationalist rhetoric that accompanied many urban projects of the early 20th century. Taking the example of Marcello Piacentini, the most successful architect in Italy during the dictatorship of Mussolini, the article traces how international trends in civic design and urban planning affected the architect’s work. The article aims to show that architectural and urban form cannot be taken as genuinely national – whether or not it may be called “Italian” or “fascist”. Concepts and forms underwent a versatile transformation in history, were adapted to specific needs and changed their meaning according to the new context. The challenge is to understand why certain forms are chosen in a specific case and how they were used to create displays that offer new modes of interpretation. The birth of town planning as an architectural discipline When Marcello Piacentini (1881-1960) began his career at the turn of the 20th century, urban design as a profession for architects was a very young discipline.

  • 'Truth': Representations of Intercultural 'Translations'
    eScholarship California Italian Studies Title Sleights of Hand: Black Skin and Curzio Malaparte's La pelle Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0xr9d2gm Journal California Italian Studies, 3(1) Author Escolar, Marisa Publication Date 2012 DOI 10.5070/C331012084 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Sleights of Hand: Black Fingers and Curzio Malaparte’s La pelle Marisa Escolar La pelle [1949], written towards the end of Curzio Malaparte’s rather colorful political career,1 has long been used as a litmus test for its author, helping critics confirm their belief in a range of divergent and often contradictory interpretations. At one end of the spectrum is the view that he was an unscrupulous “chameleon” who distorted the reality of the Allies’ Liberation of Italy to suit his own interests.2 At the other is the claim that he was a true artist whose representations of the horrors of war absorb historical details into what is a consummately literary work.3 In other words, La pelle has been read either as a vulgar deformation or a poetic transcendence of the historical moment it purports to represent.4 And yet Malaparte’s narrative of the myriad social transformations following the Armistice actually combines concrete historical events (the Allies’ arrival in Naples and in Rome, the eruption of Vesuvius on March 22, 1944, and the battle of 1 Malaparte, born Kurt Erich Suckert, joined the Partito Nazionale Fascista in September 1922 and resigned in January, 1931 just before moving to France. Upon his return to Italy in October 1931, he was expelled from the party (despite having already left it) and sentenced to political exile on Lipari for five years of which he served less than two (Martellini Opere scelte xcii-xciv).

Beitr. 29/1 247-297 31.7.1997 On the distribution of Lathyrus L. species (Fabaceae) in Lazio (Central Italy) R. MORTELLARO & M. COLASANTE Abstract: Information about the distribution of species helps us to settle the se- paration of infrageneric taxa and are also useful to interpret the evolution of the ob- served genus. Here we refer to the distribution of Lathyrus species in Lazio (Central Italy) with information obtained from herbaria, field and Bibliographic data. In our investigation we found that some taxa need a complete systematic revision to solve their taxonomic problems concerning mainly a lot of intermediate forms which pro- bably are natural hybrids between some closely related taxa. It is obvious that the corresponding distribution feels the effect of this. In our opinion, according to recent investigations, we consider the following nineteen species to be spread in Lazio: L. amphicarpos L., L. annuus L., L. aphaca L., L. cicera L., L. clymenum L., L. hirsutus L., L. latifolius L., L. linifolius (REICHARD) BÄSSLER, L. niger (L.)

  • 11 Joachim of Fiore
    JOACHIM OF FIORE The abbot’s image released by the bishop’s See of Cosenza, on the occasion of the eight-hundredth anniversary of Joachim’s death,which marks the date ( March 2002 ) of the preliminary steps of the catholic Church’s process leading to his beatification . Joachim of Fiore was born at Celico, a small town in the province of Cosenza, in 1130 and died, in the odour of sanctity, on March the 30 th , 1202, at Canale, a small hamlet of Pietrafitta, near Cosenza. His mortal remains were taken to the “Florense” Abbey of San Giovanni in Fiore, in 1226. He was a Cistercian abbot of Corazzo in 1177 and of Casamari in 1182, but, a short time later, he withdrew into solitude. In 1196 he founded a new congregation in San Giovanni in Fiore, called “Florense”, approved by Celestino III. He was one of the most fecund and complex personalities of the medieval spirituality. Many, especially the extremist Spiritual Franciscans, acclaimed him as a prophet. His prophecies exerted a fascinating influence on a large number of sensible Christian minds. He prophesied a new age. In his “Age of the Spirit” the ecclesiastical organization would be replaced and the Order of the Just (The Franciscan order) would rule the Church. Joachim’s works had a great vogue in the 13 th and 14 th centuries. Dante places him in Paradise, Divine Comedy, the twelfth canto, lines of verse 140/141: “ …il calavrese abate Giovacchino / di spirito profetico dotato…”. Joachim of Fiore resided for some time at the Abbey of Fonte Laurato, in Fiumefreddo Bruzio, which became the second Mother House of the “Florense” congregation.

  • The Monastic Rules of Visigothic Iberia: a Study of Their Text and Language
    THE MONASTIC RULES OF VISIGOTHIC IBERIA: A STUDY OF THEIR TEXT AND LANGUAGE By NEIL ALLIES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham July 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This thesis is concerned with the monastic rules that were written in seventh century Iberia and the relationship that existed between them and their intended, contemporary, audience. It aims to investigate this relationship from three distinct, yet related, perspectives: physical, literary and philological. After establishing the historical and historiographical background of the texts, the thesis investigates firstly the presence of a monastic rule as a physical text and its role in a monastery and its relationship with issues of early medieval literacy. It then turns to look at the use of literary techniques and structures in the texts and their relationship with literary culture more generally at the time. Finally, the thesis turns to issues of the language that the monastic rules were written in and the relationship between the spoken and written registers not only of their authors, but also of their audiences.
