Colavita USA Expands Menu of Italian Specialty Products Colavita USA Expands Menu of Italian Specialty Products Colavita Acquires US Distribution Rights for Leading Italian Tomato and Rice Brands Edison, NJ (January 10, 2013) -- Colavita, credited with introducing Americans to genuine Italian extra virgin olive oil, is bringing more authentic Italian ingredients to home and professional kitchens. Cirio, a leading brand of preserved tomatoes, and Riso Scotti, the top producer of Arborio rice in Italy, are now available through Colavita USA for retail and foodservice accounts. “We are honored to market the Cirio and Riso Scotti brands in the US,” said Giovanni Colavita, CEO of Colavita USA. “Italian cuisine is our heritage. It is also the foundation for a healthy lifestyle, as research into the Mediterranean diet has established. We are committed to bringing the best of Italy so that Americans can enjoy the unparalleled taste, quality, and yes, romance, of our great tradition.” Cirio is a leading tomato brand in Italy, where preserved tomatoes are integral to the cuisine. Prized by chefs worldwide, the richness, sweetness, and consistency of Italian tomatoes set the benchmark for taste and are ideal for sauces. Company lore credits founder Francesco Cirio with the creation of the Margherita Pizza, which he dedicated to the Italian queen in 1912. (The pizza was designed to incorporate the three colors of Italy: tomatoes for red, basil for green, and mozzarella cheese for white.) Cirio joined Conserve Italia, one of the largest agricultural cooperatives in Europe, in 2004. “Francesco Cirio began preserving tomatoes in cans in 1856 and we are proud to continue his legacy here in the US,” said Colavita. “We have exciting initiatives planned for 2013 to carry out his tradition of quality and innovation.” All Cirio products are made with 100% Italian tomatoes, grown in highly fertile volcanic soil from seeds cultivated by Conserve Italia. Cirio tomatoes are harvested and processed the same day and available in peeled and chopped varieties for retail and foodservice. Colavita also carries the Cirio line of jarred Italian beans. In addition, Colavita has assumed US distribution for Riso Scotti products, the leading rice producer in Italy. Since 1860, the Scotti family has produced the finest quality rice harvested from their farms in the heart of Italy’s Po Valley. Quality and innovation are hallmarks of the brand. Riso Scotti was the first Italian rice factory to produce and sell packaged rice and later pioneered the use of vacuum packaging. Riso Scotti is the #1 producer of Arborio rice in Italy and a top seller in more than 70 countries. “We are very excited to extend the reach of Scotti rice products to the US market,” said Colavita. “Like our company, Riso Scotti is family-owned and shares our commitment to supplying the best Italian ingredients to home and professional kitchens.” “Riso Scotti offers authentic Italian foods for those who prefer gluten-free options,” Colavita continued. “We also look forward to introducing new Riso Scotti products to serve the needs of time-pressed US consumers.” Riso Scotti products are available for retail and foodservice. Retail offerings include easy-to- prepare Riso Scotti Risotto, available in original Milanese and Asparagus, Porcini, and Truffle flavored varieties, and vacuum packed Arborio and Carnaroli rice (known as the “King” of Italian rice for its high starch content). Riso Scotti’s foodservice lineup includes vacuum packed Arborio and Carnaroli rice as well as Riso Scotti’s famed 2-minute risotto in traditional and flavored varieties in portioned packages. Colavita also manages distribution for San Benedetto, Italy’s #1 brand of bottled water, to retail accounts, restaurants, and other foodservice outlets. Distinguished among mineral waters for its superior natural taste, San Benedetto was the first Italian company to bottle water in recyclable PET bottles. The San Benedetto line includes natural and sparkling waters as well as flavored teas and Bellini bases. Colavita continues to import and distribute the legendary Perugina brand of Italian chocolates, including the iconic Baci. Earlier this year, Colavita introduced Baci White, created by master chocolatiers at Perugina's world renowned Scuola del Cioccolato in Perugia, Italy to mark the 90th anniversary of this celebrated confection. Like the original, Baci White is filled with gianduia, a sensuous whipped chocolate filling blended with finely chopped hazelnuts, crowned by a crunchy whole hazelnut and then enrobed in a smooth, vanilla scented layer of white chocolate. The Baci White line consists of 5-oz bags, 8-oz and 1-lb pound boxes, and the Baci White Purse, a uniquely designed package that holds three Baci White confections. Rounding out Colavita’s portfolio are specialty food products from leading Italian tastemakers, including New York City’s famed Patsy’s Restaurant, Tony Tantillo, known for his “Fresh Grocer” TV segments, and Rachael Ray, the popular TV host and cookbook author. Recent additions include coffee and espresso from Antica Tostatura Triestina, named a “must-have” brand by Martha Stewart on her daytime television show, and Greci e Folzani prosciutto. Products distributed by Colavita are available in supermarkets, specialty food stores, and warehouse clubs throughout the US as well as online at www.ColavitaStore.com.

  • SWE PIEDMONT Vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER
    SWE PIEDMONT vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER ITALY Italy is a spirited, thriving, ancient enigma that unveils, yet hides, many faces. Invading Phoenicians, Greeks, Cathaginians, as well as native Etruscans and Romans left their imprints as did the Saracens, Visigoths, Normans, Austrian and Germans who succeeded them. As one of the world's top industrial nations, Italy offers a unique marriage of past and present, tradition blended with modern technology -- as exemplified by the Banfi winery and vineyard estate in Montalcino. Italy is 760 miles long and approximately 100 miles wide (150 at its widest point), an area of 116,303 square miles -- the combined area of Georgia and Florida. It is subdivided into 20 regions, and inhabited by more than 60 million people. Italy's climate is temperate, as it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and protected from icy northern winds by the majestic sweep of alpine ranges. Winters are fairly mild, and summers are pleasant and enjoyable. NORTHWESTERN ITALY The northwest sector of Italy includes the greater part of the arc of the Alps and Apennines, from which the land slopes toward the Po River. The area is divided into five regions: Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. Like the topography, soil and climate, the types of wine produced in these areas vary considerably from one region to another. This part of Italy is extremely prosperous, since it includes the so-called industrial triangle, made up of the cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa, as well as the rich agricultural lands of the Po River and its tributaries.

RESUME Cette note donne pour la première fois une synthèse des conditions hydrogéologiques de la Plaine du Pô (Italie du Nord) : en effet les études entreprises jusqu'à présent ne concernaient que des secteurs très limités. Un programme de recherche, organisé et financé par l'Institut de Recherche sur les Eaux du Conseil National des Recherches et réalisé avec la collaboration des Instituts de Géologie de la région du Pô, a permis d'étudier les aspects hydrogéologiques de vastes unités territoriales de la Plaine. Sur la base d'environ 10 000 coupes stratigraphiques de puits d'eau ainsi que des données hydrauliques et chimiques de 21 000 autres puits il a été possible d'arriver à une evaluation approximative satisfaisante des conditions structurelles des aquifères, qui se trouvent presque exclusivement dans les dépôts continentaux du Quaternaire (dépôts rnorainiques, fluviatiles et fluvio-glaciaires). La Plaine du Pô est en effet un grand bassin subsidant et qui a été caractérisé au Quaternaire par une grande vitesse de dépôt (épaisseur moyenne de.800 m); il est limité au Nord et à l'Ouest par les Alpes, au Sud par les Apennins et à l'Est par la Mer Adriatique.

  • The Geography of Italian Pasta
    The Geography of Italian Pasta David Alexander University of Massachusetts, Amherst Pasta is as much an institution as a food in Italy, where it has made a significant contribution to national culture. Its historical geography is one of strong regional variations based on climate, social factors, and diffusion patterns. These are considered herein; a taxonomy of pasta types is presented and illustrated in a series of maps that show regional variations. The classification scheme divides pasta into eight classes based on morphology and, where appropriate, filling. These include the spaghetti and tubular families, pasta shells, ribbon forms, short pasta, very small or “micro- pasta” types, the ravioli family of filled pasta, and the dumpling family, which includes gnocchi. Three patterns of dif- fusion of pasta types are identified: by sea, usually from the Mezzogiorno and Sicily, locally through adjacent regions, and outwards from the main centers of adoption. Many dry pasta forms are native to the south and center of Italy, while filled pasta of the ravioli family predominates north of the Apennines. Changes in the geography of pasta are re- viewed and analyzed in terms of the modern duality of culture and commercialism. Key Words: pasta, Italy, cultural geography, regional geography.

  • 1 Logboats and the River: Utilisation of the Po Valley in Early Medieval
    1 Logboats and the river: utilisation of the Po Valley in Early Medieval times Alice Lucchini Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia Resumo Desde o fim do siglo XIX, as numerosas descobertas de pirogas monóxilas destacam-se pela quantidade entre os raros achados arqueológicos que dizem respeito à utilização dos rios da planície Padana da Alta Idade Média. Este estudo quer chegar a uma melhor compreensão global destes artefactos, através da recolha de resultados de análises arqueométricas desenvolvidas anteriormente nos ditos artefactos e da promoção de novas análises. No futuro, os dados irão confluir em reconstruções 3D, com o propósito de determinar as características destas embarcações, quer em termos de navegação quer a nível de capacidade de carga. Este trabalho visa também delinear algumas hipóteses sobre o uso das embarcações, tendo em consideração as fontes escritas contemporâneas e as mudanças ambientais dos rios ao longo dos séculos. Palavras-chave: Pirogas monóxilas, Alta Idade Média, planície Padana, portos fluviales Abstract Since the end of the XIX century, the numerous logboat findings have stood out for their consistency from the scarce archaeological evidence about the utilisation of the Po valley rivers in the Middle Ages. This study aims to reach a better understanding of early medieval logboats, collecting previous studies of archeometry and providing new analyses. In the future, the data will be brought together in a 3D reconstruction to assess the performance of these boats in terms of navigation and cargo capacity. It also aims at suggesting hypotheses on the uses of logboats, considering written sources from medieval times, studies from the past and environmental changes of the river system over time.

Nevertheless, its capital Milan is one of the main gateways to Italy for Americans, and its lake districtparticularly Lake Comois a favorite destination for tourists. Lombardy (Lombardia in Italian) is a prosperous, energetic region that holds many treasures for visitors and for wine lovers. History: Lombardy takes its name from the Lombards, a tribe of people that originated in Sweden long ago and migrated over several centuries southward into Germany and Austria. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Lombards moved into northern Italy and established the Kingdom of the Lombards, which extended from Friuli across to Piedmont and halfway down the Italian Peninsula. The Lombard capital was Pavia in present-day Lombardy. Though the Lombards themselves were conquered by the Franks under Charlemagne, the name stuck, as Charlemagne took King of the Lombards as an additional title. From Charlemagne's time onward for a thousand years, modern-day Lombardy was largely in the orbit of the German-based Holy Roman Empire, but the emperor generally paid little attention to his Italian possessions, and the real power was wielded by local nobility and religious authorities in a constantly shifting mosaic of realms.

  • Water Management in Milan and Lombardy in Medieval Times: an Outline
    DOI: 10.2478/v10025-009-0002-0 JOURNAL OF WATER AND LAND DEVELOPMENT J. Water Land Dev. No. 12, 2008: 15–25 Water management in Milan and Lombardy in medieval times: an outline Giuliana FANTONI Institute of Professional Studies and Research “A. Vespucci” – Milano (IT), via Carlo Valvassori Peroni 8, 20133 Milano Abstract: The abundance of water has certainly been a very important resource for the development of the Po Valley and has necessitated, more than once, interventions of regulation and drainage that have contributed strongly to imprint a particular conformation on the land. Already in Roman times there were numerous projects of canalisation and intense and diligent commitment to the maintenance of the canals, used for navigation, for irrigation and for the working of the mills. The need to control the excessive amount of water present was the beginning of the exploitation of this great font of rich- ness that was constantly maintained in subsequent eras. In the early Middle Ages, despite the condi- tions of political instability and great economic and social difficulty, the function of the canals con- tinued to be of great importance, also because the paths of river communication often substituted land roads, then left abandoned. After the 11th century A.D. the resumption of agricultural activity was conducive to the intense task of land reclamation of the Lombardian countryside and of commitment by the cities to amplify their waterways with the construction of new canals and the improvement of those already existing. The example given by Milan, a city lacking a natural river, that equipped itself with a dense network of canal, used in various ambits of the city life (defence, hygiene, agriculture, transport, milling systems) and for connections with the surrounding territory, can be considered as emblematic.

  • The November 1994 Flood Event on the Po River: Structural and Non-Structural Measures Against Inundations
    U.S.- Italy Research Workshop on the Hydrometeorology, Impacts, and Management of Extreme Floods Perugia (Italy), November 1995 THE NOVEMBER 1994 FLOOD EVENT ON THE PO RIVER: STRUCTURAL AND NON-STRUCTURAL MEASURES AGAINST INUNDATIONS Enrico Marchi, Giorgio Roth, and Franco Siccardi Istituto di Idraulica Universita di Genova Via Montallegro 1, 16145 Genova ITALY Abstract. The Po River drains the largest morphological unit of the Italian territory. River training works started in the lower Po during the Roman Age and progressed upstream, first as discontinuous systems, then eventually connected to form two uninterrupted belts, which have reduced not only the overflow frequency, but also the storage capacity of the river floodplain. The result has been an increasing value of the flood peak quantile in the lower Po, which is the reach with the highest flooding risk. On the other side, the upstream catchment, where partial embankments have been built, recently experienced a flooding event, and requires some form of protection. A risk mitigation policy should take into account all the components of the river system and their connections. With this perspective, the development of traditional structural protection along the Po River has reached a critical stage; a further expansion of the existing levee system would increase the down-stream risk. With regard to non-structural protection, the river morphology and the past experience suggest that, based on rainfall and discharge monitoring, early warnings of flood hazards in vulnerable communities may be feasible. Finally, to reduce the flooding risk in the lower Po, a reduction of the flood discharge entering this reach is necessary.

  • Effect of Stable Layer Formation Over the Po Valley on the Development of Convection During MAP IOP-8
    OCTOBER 2006 R E E V E S A N D L I N 2567 Effect of Stable Layer Formation over the Po Valley on the Development of Convection during MAP IOP-8 HEATHER DAWN REEVES AND YUH-LANG LIN Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina (Manuscript received 31 January 2005, in final form 22 December 2005) ABSTRACT During intensive observation period (IOP)-8 of the Mesoscale Alpine Program, there was a stable layer of air in the lowest levels of the Po Valley and just upstream of the Apennines. In this study, the effects of the stable layer on the formation of convection in the southern Alpine region were investigated through a series of two-dimensional, idealized experiments. The goals of this study were twofold: 1) to determine if stable layer strength affected the placement of convection and 2) to test the notion that the stable layer during IOP-8 behaved as an effective mountain. To accomplish the first objective, three simulations were compared in which the strength of the inversion and low-level cooling in the Po Valley and upstream of the Apennines was varied. The results of these simulations show that the stronger the inversion and low-level cooling, the farther south the convection was positioned. Additionally, it was found that convection devel- oped as a result of the formation of a broad region of moist instability over the stable layer. Cellular convection developed in this region of moist instability. The second objective was tested through a simu- lation where the cold pool was replaced by terrain (MMTN).
