NATURE - pag 3 - Italian Parks - 1st season Directed by: Various Produced by: SD Cinematografica Duration: 18x30' Versions: Format: SD The protected areas of Italy now cover around 10% of the country.National parks are now a reality in Italy. But it is not just a question of size; they represent an extraordinary resource, much of it unknown.And yet this is the real face of Italy: the alpine landscapes, coniferous forests, mixed forests, the Mediterranean Maquis, the hillsides, coast lands and marine environments. This series, shot by a number of directors, offers foreign viewers an unusual view of an Italy rich in flora and fauna. Some of these documentaries have won prestigious international prizes. Episodes: - Adamello-Brenta - Majella - Circeo - Bellunese Dolomites - Monti Sibillini 2 - Aeolian archipelago - Gran Sasso - Maremma - Nera river - Gargano - Tolfa - Cilento - Monti Sibillini - Tavoliere - Vesuvius - Gennargentu - Abruzzo - Asinara - pag 4 - Episodes Adamello-Brenta A few kilometers west of Trento, and about two thousand meters above it, is a mountainous territory which has won hearts of Italian mountaineers and skiers. Here you will find the Brenta Peaks, a dolomitic complex formed of impervious pinnacles and vast snow-fields dominating the Sarca and Noce Valleys with a spectacle of magnificent beauty. And it was in order to protect these wonders from speculative greed and touristic carelessness that the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park was born. It has provided a refuge for the Alpine brown bear as well as deer, chamois, foxes, marmots and eagles. The documentary films the park territory from a bird's eye view, following it through the seasons, from the valley to the snowy peaks, in search of its secret wonders. Bellunese Dolomites At less than 100 kilometres from Venice, famous for its name, but little known to the public at large, the Bellunese Dolomites give to the visitor the possibility to make extraordinary discoveries. 32,000 hectares of virgin mountain landscape, often wild, and rich in animal life. A vegetation which is unique in the world, and the signs and tracks of an ancient history. Solitary, silent, and mysterious, these are the mountains of Buzzati, and its Barnabo, today contained in a new highly explorable National Park. Gran Sasso The documentary is about the Gran Sasso and Laga Mountains history in the hearth of the Abruzzi Apennines that became populated with animal life nowadays protected in the great national park, after a long period of habitation and after man’s transformation in a place for sheep. Life at elevate altitude, the endemic plants, the big animals as the chamois and the wolf, the alpine birds live in these summits, the higher of the Apenines, where a little glacier survives, a relict of the glacial eras. Gargano The Gargano National Park: a bridge between land and sea, between Italy and the Balkans, between past and present, between nature and human beings. And in the very middle of it, a forest which is amongst the oldest and best preserved in Italy; along the green coastline, sweet-smelling pinewoods overlook crystal clear sea and steep cliffs. It's a paradise of animal and vegetable bio-diversity with extremely rare animals such as the Italian roe deer, as well as over 60 species of wild orchids. In Gargano, for thousands of years, people's lives have been bound up with nature in a harmonious relationship which finds expression in the cultural heritage (castles, museums, archaeological sites, sanctuaries, ancient towns and villages), in the peasant farming and the fishing communities, in a centuries-old religious tradition (the Shrine of the Archangel Michael) as well as a present-day tradition (Padre Pio). The documentary narrates these aspects, combining spectacular images gathered after long and patient filming, with the knowledge of a fascinating story. Monti Sibillini In front of the infinite heights of Castelluccio, one is struck by the grandiosity of the countryside, and in spring, by the marvels of the flowers. Kingdom of fairies, mythological legends, and hermits, the Sibillini are the ideal place for the dreamer and lover of silence. Norcia and Visso, enclosed behind their mediaeval walls, are towns which are still intact. Vesuvius The Vesuvius National Park was set up following strong pressure from environmental groups whose aim was to protect the world's most famous volcano from human depredation and urban encroachment. Since the setting up of the park, there has been a noticeable change of attitude in the area - many harmful activities, such as wildfires, rubbish tips, illegal building and poaching, are now memories of the past. Their place has been taken by environmental engineering, cleaning operations and recovery of the natural surroundings with its flora and fauna. It is a rewarding experience to move from the squalor of urban sprawl to the revived surroundings of the park with its plant and animal life including various species of hawks, foxes, hares, ring-doves and wood pigeons. A park in the front line struggling against degradation - a park which seems to have won an almost impossible battle. - pag 5 - Abruzzo In the area of the Abruzzo National park, with its villages, its people and its unique environment in Italy, the union between man and nature has been really very fruitful. It harmonised the need for natural protection with that for economic development and employment. The park is famous not only for the presence of the chamois, the Apennine wolf and the Marsican brown bear, but also for its cordial inhabitants and attractive villages, very rich in tourism and handycraft. Majella Majella is a mountain of a thousand faces and a thousand stories. In the heart of the Apennines, facing and dominating the Adriatic coast, the old mountain was described by Pliny as the "Father of Mountains", but then in time, it was to become "The Mother Mountain," for all the Abruzesi, rich in water, pastures, woods, and as prodigious as a mother. From the summit to the base, the voyage of discovery of the "mother mountain" delights one with its surprises. The wolf is the symbol of the National Park of Majella. Today, its population is growing, and the wolf continues to live its natural life in the wild spaces of the Massiccio, and to hunt its prey which has also returned to its Natural numbers thanks to the reintroduction projects. The program of reintroduction of the deer has had particular success, which since 1984 has returned to inhabit the mountain slopes. Monti Sibillini 2 Padre Pietro is the last knight of the court of the Sibilla. After 30 years of solitude in the house he built stone by stone, vertically over the abyss of hell, a long way from civilisation and closer to his God, he recounts the emotion of his extraordinary life. He guides us into the discovery of the place where nature, magic and tradition merge in a unique entity: the park of Monti Sibillini. On horseback between Marches and Umbria, between legend and reality, rises this little world of impossible colours, breathtaking views, and men of times past. Maremma The Uccellina Mountain Park preserves 9000 hectares of a wonderful Tuscan Maremma, from the seashore with its sandy dunes e its cliffs, to the fifth Masquis, to the ilex groves, to the pine-forest. Wild boars, roebucks, does and other kind of birds live there. Horses and wild cows are breeded there. Sveva Sagramola, with the naturalist Francesco Petretti’s guide, shows us the most important and curios particulars of Maremma, everybody’s reach. Tolfa Seventy hectares of oak trees, meadows, a thick extension of impassable spots, 200 species of mammals and wild birds, some toward extinction, a rich collection of vegetable species that roves from the tropical species to the boreal ones. We are not talking about a wild land at the frontiers of the inhabited world, but of a hilly region of volcanic origin at the door of Rome, miraculously escaped from the siege of buildings and roads, thanks to its inhospitable territory and particular nature of its land. Large estates, one time properties of marquis and princes, now managed by the towns of Tolfa, Allumiere, Manziana, Cerveteri, are devoted today, like many centuries ago, to the cutting of trees, to the breeding of wild horses and maremma cattle with their beautiful horns and irascible nature.

  • Icaro: to Be Fooled by the Beauty of Your Dreams
    Reckless Wines from Rome “We fell in love with a vineyard, so beautiful to make us reckless” And so, without reasoning, we embraced a journey that led us to challenge some rules, get rid of a some fears and take back some beauty. Near Rome, in the Roman Castles area, we discover volcanic lands, boldly suited for the vineyard and yet voiceless. We focus on the grapes of a single vineyard near Velletri, surrounded by a 250 hectares natural monument of wild forest, huge oaks, maples and cyclamen. Nero Buono, Malvasia, Trebbiano and a bit of Moscato. Organic vineyard with the use only of copper and sulfur. Looking west you can spy the sea and in the windy days you can feel the salt. Egidio and Paola are the two owners and farmers. They take care of the land, the vineyard and the fruit-trees, all alone. We help them, observing and studying each movement. We work together, we feel good. We take courage. I CA RO “I Castelli Romani” Our ambitions are all in this land. We want to take back the grapes and the wines. Give them new life, new vitality, new expression. Give rise to a renaissance of the Roman Castles. In the wine-house, in Genzano, it is only spontaneous fermentation. Zero or very little So2, no filtration, no control of temperatures. No enologist or long experience yet with clear ideas and the will to make an expressive, natural, popolar, anti- elite wine for the people. Four fellows from Rome, two elderly farmers and the dream to start a revolution in the Roman Castles.

Trees are sparse and low scrub is the predominant vegetation. – It’s part of the national parks system of Italy, in 2002 the island was converted to a wildlife and marine preserve. – In 1885 the island became a Lazaretto and an agricultural penal colony (till 1998). About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Viale dello Statuto 37, Latina, Italy. Submitted on 2016, 27th February; revised on 2016, 27th June; accepted on 2016, 7th July Editor: Gentile Francesco Ficetola Abstract. The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest.

  • In a Highly Competitive Global Market Such As
    Fusco 9/13/05 10:51 AM Page 34 Vineyard Management Precision Vineyard Management from Space – From Bacchus to Eneide Simonetta Cheli & Luigi Fusco ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy Stefano Sandrelli Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Milan, Italy n a highly competitive global market such as the wine business, consistent quality is a must, especially if Europe wants to maintain its position as world leader. It currently accounts for I55% of the world’s vine-growing areas, 60% of wine production and 70% of exports. In this very special sector of agriculture, technology and science play fundamental roles in all phases of activity, from the start of the vine-growing season, through the ripening of the grapes, to the bottling of the wine. The quality of the wine produced depends on many parameters, including the soil characteristics in the area, the weather and growth conditions during the season, the ability to monitor and control vine diseases, the degree of maturity of the grapes at harvest time, their grade, colour, organic acids, etc. during fermentation and, finally, the wine production techniques employed. In general, however, European vineyard managers still have little access to technical means or reliable systems to guide them in their decision-making. Precision Farming in the Frascati area Space technologies, particularly those associated with Earth Observation (EO), can help the wine-growing community in a number of technical areas. One of several initiatives promoting the use of EO in the wine sector has been ‘Bacchus’, a Research and ESA/ESRIN lies in the middle of the Frascati DOC wine-growing Technological Development project started in 2003 (to be completed in 2005), funded by region, southeast of Rome.

    The Island in the Sun Part II Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The Island in the Sun Part II Charles Scicolone (May 04, 2008) The new and the old come together in Sicily and today's tourist is attracted by the food, wine and culture. The restaurant scene is changing in Sicily. In the lower part of Ragusa know as Ragusa Ibla (the ancient part of the city rebuilt in the Baroque style after the earthquake of 1693) there are not one, but two, restaurants with Michelin stars. Locanda Don Serafino is a restaurant, hotel, enoteca, and cigar lounge. The very large restaurant has a member of rooms and a wine list of about 1000 bottles. It has one Michelin star. Less then 100 meters away is Il Duomo, a smaller restaurant whose chef worked in Felidia Restaurant in New York. It has a large wine list and two Michelin stars. Both Page 1 of 5 The Island in the Sun Part II Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) use Sicilian ingredients with a very modern twist. It was a pleasure to find such high quality, elegant restaurants in Sicily. There are two restaurants in Palermo that serve traditional food. One has a very interesting name, Piccolo Napoli. It makes two of my favorite pasta dishes, linguine con nero di seppie, linguine with cuttlefish ink, and bucatini con le sarde, thick spaghetti with sardines and fennel. They also make perhaps the best caponata di melanzane I have ever tasted. It is in the Borgo market and is closed more than it is open.
