Corsica & Sardinia Aboard Sea Cloud CORSICA & SARDINIA ABOARD SEA CLOUD This 10-night voyage is dedicated to the exploration of two fiercely independent islands–Sardinia and Corsica. These islands share many historic elements through millennia of empires and civilizations, but still maintain their identities and independent attitudes from their governing nations of Italy and France respectively. The platform for our exploration is the incomparable and legendary square-rig sailing yacht Sea Cloud. Plenty of time is built in to enjoy the sailing action of Sea Cloud under sail and all the other comforts of this historic vessel and its congenial crew, as well as the expert Lindblad-National Geographic staff. The voyage departs and returns to Naples, Italy, allowing the time and space for ample sailing around these spectacular and intriguing islands. ITINERARY DAY 1-2: Naples, Italy/Embark Fly overnight and arrive in Naples. Board the legendary Sea Cloud and cast off from the Naples’ active harbor. We’ll pass by the rugged coast of the island of Capri at sunset as we enter the Tyrrhenian Sea.

    Nuraghic village of Su Nuraxi ◼ Site location The archaeological site of Su Nuraxi is located in central-south Sardinia, on the border between Marmilla and Sarcidano. The complex stands visible from a distance for those coming from Cagliari, or from western Marmilla, on a small plain at 238 metres above sea level, located on the edge of the provincial road from Barumini - to the Turri exit for Oristano, about 1 km from the residential area of Barumini. ◼ History of excavations and studies Already known since 1834 thanks to a brief article written by Vittorio Angius in the his- torical-geographical dictionary by Goffredo Casalis: “It was larger than the others, and less destroyed seen from a distance of a quarter of an hour by the people on the road to Tuìli, distinguished by the general name of nuraji; it deserves consideration” . In 1862m the priest Giovanni Spano also named it, together with other three Nuraghe, using the name “Suraxi” . “There are few remains of other Nuragic buildings, or only the name at the foot of the coastline (of the basalt plateau) remains, like Bruncu su Nuraxi, close to the road from Tuili to Barumini”, wrote the archaeologist Antonio Taramelli in 1907. The first to notice the presence of archaeological structures in the rise of “Bruncu Su Nu- raxi” (the hill of the Nuraghe) were farm labourers working the land for Oreste Sanna, the owner of the estate. The oldest photos of the artificial hill dating back to 1937 shows the stones from the col- lapsed archaeological complex spread around the slopes (fig.

For this exceptional voyage we have selected four destinations that are especially fascinating examples of the complex history of the Mediterranean: Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and the Balearic Islands. This May, we would like you to join us on a private-style cruise to these delightful islands. The Carthaginians and the Greeks, the Romans and the Byzantines, the Arabs and the Normans all influenced the history and culture of Sicily. We’ll visit the magnificent Doric temple at Segesta, built by Greek colonists in 420 B.C., and explore the ancient town of Erice, dominated by a 12th-century Norman castle standing on the remains of a temple that tradition says was built by the Trojans. Sardinia is an especially remarkable island, with more than 7,000 prehistoric sites dating back nearly 4,000 years. We’ll explore the finest of these Nuraghic sites, as well as Alghero, an enchanting port town that for centuries was ruled by the kings of Aragon. To this day, many residents of Alghero speak the island’s Catalan dialect. The Balearic Islands are an archipelago off the northeast coast of Spain.

  • I Percorsi Museali in Italia Nel 2018
    30 LUGLIO 2020 I percorsi museali in Italia nel 2018 I percorsi museali qui presentati sono formati da itinerari stradali che collegano i Musei e istituzioni similari censiti dall’indagine Istat 2018 (Istat, 2019a) e sono arricchiti da informazioni sui luoghi della cultura e sul turismo tratte dalla statistica ufficiale o da fonti istituzionali. La metodologia con la quale sono costruiti era stata già sperimentata sui dati dell’indagine Musei e istituzioni similari 2015, e diffusa sotto forma di Statistica sperimentale (Istat, 2019b). Tramite una procedura GIS, i 107 musei di partenza, scelti in quanto strutture con il maggior numero di visitatori in ogni Unità Territoriale Sovracomunale (UTS) (le province, le città metropolitane, i liberi consorzi di comuni o le ex provincie del Friuli-Venezia Giulia) sono collegati a tutti gli altri musei che distano fino a 30 minuti di percorrenza in automobile. I tratti di strada percorribili attraversano un insieme di territori comunali nei quali si trovano borghi, aree naturali protette, siti UNESCO. Questi territori sono caratterizzati anche dal punto di vista dei turisti che li frequentano e della popolazione che li abita, tutti potenziali fruitori dei musei e del loro patrimonio naturale e culturale. I percorsi presentati sono molto diversi tra di loro, alcuni sono particolarmente ricchi di musei e di altre tipologie di beni culturali, alcuni si concentrano in un unico centro, altri si distribuiscono lungo molti chilometri nel territorio, oltre i confini delle UTS e delle regioni di riferimento. In qualche caso i percorsi si sovrappongono fra di loro, altrove invece sono isolati. Gli amministratori e i decisori pubblici locali, gli imprenditori della cultura e del turismo, gli operatori economici, troveranno in questa visione geografica integrata un utile supporto per il loro lavoro.

  • Barumini, Su Nuraxi Nella Rete Dei Siti Unesco
    Barumini, "Su Nuraxi" nella rete dei siti Unesco del Sud La reggia nuragica di Barumini, Su Nuraxi (in provincia di Cagliari), scoperta e scavata tra il 1950 e il 1957 dall'accademico dei Lincei e principe dell'archeologia sarda, il baruminese Giovanni Lilliu, è protagonista della "Rete Siti Unesco". L'area rappresenterà la Sardegna nell'ambito di un progetto di valorizzazione in cinque regioni del Sud: Basilicata, Campania, Puglia, Sicilia e appunto Sardegna, e incentrato su comunicazione multimediale, promozione di percorsi innovativi personalizzati e su un festival itinerante nei 14 siti nel corso dell'estate, che farà tappa a Barumini il 24 agosto. L'obiettivo è la creazione di una rete che, partendo dalla capacità attrattiva del brand Unesco e attraverso nuove tecnologie, promuova un'offerta integrata di risorse paesaggistiche, culturali ed enogastronomiche dei territori coinvolti. Partner finanziatore del progetto è l'Associazione Province Unesco Sud Italia, istituita appositamente con capofila la provincia di Matera, capitale europea della Cultura per il 2019. L'investimento, cofinanziato dal ministero per i Beni culturali, è di poco superiore al milione di euro. "L'idea è un esempio di best practice, di come si possa valorizzare e promuovere il patrimonio dei siti Unesco quale stimolo per uno sviluppo turistico sostenibile dei territori interessati", afferma il sindaco di Barumini Emanuele Lilliu. "Doveroso risaltare l'attività dell'associazione Province Unesco del Sud e il coordinamento di Matera - aggiunge - per aver portato avanti un'iniziativa complessa e sinergica, dando vita a una collaborazione tra numerosi enti di cinque regioni nella prospettiva di una governance pubblico- privata finalizzata a generare un'offerta integrata di valori culturali, paesaggistici ed enogastronomici dei territori".

  • Nuragic Architecture at Su Nuraxi Barumini, Sardinia – Smarthistory
    1/23/2017 Nuragic architecture at Su Nuraxi Barumini, Sardinia – Smarthistory Nuragic architecture at Su Nuraxi Barumini, Sardinia by DR. JEFFREY A. BECKER Sardinia The island of Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and was home to ancient cultures. To its north lies Corsica, to its east the Italian peninsula, to its south Tunisia, and to the west the Balearic Islands. Sardinia was a key stopping point for sailors and traders for millennia and has a deep and ancient cultural heritage. The characteristic and indigenous Nuragic civilization of Sardinia stretches from the Bronze Age (c. 18th century B.C.E.) to the Roman period. This civilization derives its name from a characteristic form of monumental, stone-built tower structures known as nuraghe—some 7,000 of these enigmatic structures still dot the Sardinian landscape. First settlers During the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, the rst human settlers of Sardinia arrived, most likely from various parts of the Mediterranean basin and Europe. The Ozieri (also known as San Michele) culture is the rst identiable settled culture in Sardinia, dating c. 3200 to 2800 B.C.E. The Ozieri people are known for village-size communities and their material culture includes “mother goddess” gurines that are common in the Mediterranean and Near East. Perhaps due to migrants arriving from the western Mediterranean, some similarities may be observed between artifacts in Sardinia and those of the Balearic islands. The altar site of Monte d’Accoddi is one such example, with its earliest phases dating c. 4,000-3,650 B.C.E.
