Lucera—the effect it produces on the mind; one sees so many towns that the freshness of their images becomes blurred. The houses are low but not undignified; the streets regular and clean; there is electric light and somewhat indifferent accommodation for travellers; an infinity of barbers and chemists. Nothing remarkable in all this. Yet the character is there, if one could but seize upon it, since every place has its genius. Perhaps it lies in a certain feeling of aloofness that never leaves one here. We are on a hill—a mere wave of ground; a kind of spur, rather, rising up from, the south—quite an absurd little hill, but sufficiently high to dominate the wide Apulian plain. And the nakedness of the land stimulates this aerial sense. There are some trees in the "Belvedere" or public garden that lies on the highest part of the spur and affords a fine view north and eastwards. But the greater part were only planted a few years ago, and those stretches of brown earth, those half- finished walks and straggling pigmy shrubs, give the place a crude and embryonic appearance. One thinks that the designers might have done more in the way of variety; there are no conifers excepting a few cryptomerias and yews which will all be dead in a couple of years, and as for those yuccas, beloved of Italian municipalities, they will have grown more dyspeptic-looking than ever. None the less, the garden will be a pleasant spot when the ilex shall have grown higher; even now it is the favourite evening walk of the citizens. Altogether, these public parks, which are now being planted all over south Italy, testify to renascent taste; they and the burial-places are often the only spots where the deafened and light-bedazzled stranger may find a little green content; the content, respectively, of L'Allegro and Il Penseroso. So the cemetery of Lucera, with its ordered walks drowned in the shade of cypress—roses and gleaming marble monuments in between—is a charming retreat, not only for the dead. The Belvedere, however, is not my promenade. My promenade lies yonder, on the other side of the valley, where the grave old Suabian castle sits on its emerald slope. It does not frown; it reposes firmly, with an air of tranquil and assured domination; "it has found its place," as an Italian observed to me. Long before Frederick Barbarossa made it the centre of his southern dominions, long before the Romans had their fortress on the site, this eminence must have been regarded as the key of Apulia. All round the outside of those turreted walls (they are nearly a mile in circumference; the enclosure, they say, held sixty thousand people) there runs a level space. This is my promenade, at all hours of the day. Falcons are fluttering with wild cries overhead; down below, a long unimpeded vista of velvety green, flecked by a few trees and sullen streamlets and white farmhouses—the whole vision framed in a ring of distant Apennines. The volcanic cone of Mount Vulture, land of Horace, can be detected on clear days; it tempts me to explore those regions. But eastward rises up the promontory of Mount Gargano, and on the summit of its nearest hill one perceives a cheerful building, some village or convent, that beckons imperiously across the intervening lowlands. Yonder lies the venerable shrine of the archangel Michael, and Manfred's town. This castle being a national monument, they have appointed a custodian to take charge of it; a worthless old fellow, full of

  • Zur Geschichte Der Vogelkundlichen Forschung in Baden-Württemberg 1. Norman Douglas (1868— 1952)
    472 © Ornithologische Gesellschaft Bayern,[Verh. download orn. unter Ges. www.biologiezentrum.at Bayern 22, Heft 3/4, 1976] Verh. orn. Ges. Bayern 22, 1976: 472—483 Zur Geschichte der vogelkundlichen Forschung in Baden-Württemberg 1. Norman Douglas (1868— 1952) Von Rudolf Kuhk In seinem vortrefflichen Werk Die Ornithologen Mitteleuropas hat Ludwig Gebhardt die Vogelkundler aller Grade behandelt, soweit sie in Mitteleuropa beheimatet oder, von anderswoher gekommen, hier ansässig geworden waren. Nicht berücksichtigt sind also diejenigen, die nur als Gäste mit mehr oder weniger langem Aufenthalt im Ge­ biet sich ornithologisch produktiv betätigt haben. Zu dieser nicht gro­ ßen Gruppe rechnete man auch Norman Douglas, der schottischer Ab­ kunft war und einigen Angaben zufolge in Schottland geboren sein soll; als Gymnasiast hielt er sich 6 Jahre lang in Deutschland auf, und 1894 veröffentlichte er in einer englischen zoologischen Zeitschrift einen Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Vogelwelt Badens. Als ich mich mit seinem Lebenslauf befaßte, stellte sich bald heraus, daß er nicht in Schottland, sondern in Österreich geboren ist, also doch zu dem von Gebhardt bearbeiteten Personenkreis gehört. Indes kam diese Er­ kenntnis für die Aufnahme in das Werk zu spät. Lediglich eine Kurz­ notiz mit den beiden Haupt-Lebensdaten konnte in den letzten „Er­ gänzungen während des Druckes“ (Band 3) noch eingefügt werden. Da den Ornithologen Deutschlands von und über Douglas höchstens seine erwähnte Arbeit und nunmehr jene Haupt-Daten bekannt sind, soll hier das Dunkel gelichtet werden, das für uns Vogelkundler über dem Leben und dem — unerwartet reichen — Werk dieses Mannes lag. Freilich sollte ich bei der Beschäftigung mit ihm bald erfahren, daß diese Unkenntnis keineswegs von denen geteilt wird, die im bri­ tischen schöngeistigen Schrifttum oder in der englischen Literatur über Süditalien Bescheid wissen.

  • Urban Form, Public Life and Social Capital - a Case Study of How the Concepts Are Related in Calabria, Italy
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2019 Urban form, public life and social capital - a case study of how the concepts are related in Calabria, Italy SOFIA HULDT KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate the urban structure of two Italian towns based upon physical structure and social function. The towns are Bova and Bova Marina in the ancient Greek part of Calabria, Area Grecanica. This is done by answering the research questions about how the urban structures are and what preconditions there are for public life and in extension social capital. This is also compared to the discourse in research about Calabria as a region lacking behind as well as the Greek cultural heritage. The thesis was conducted during one semester spent in the area and based upon qualitative research in form of observations of the towns, mapping, textual analysis and interviews. The results showed that the urban form of the two towns differ from each other because of their history and their localisation. Bova is an ancient town in the mountains that is separated through topography, and therefore conserved with many old structures but few inhabitants, suffering from out-migration. Bova Marina is placed on the coast of the Ionic Sea, south of Bova and connected to the region by train and roads, while Bova is mainly connected to Bova Marina. Bova Marina was founded as a town in late 19th century and expanded a lot because of the railroad. It is a town with inconsistent walking network, a lot of traffic and houses in bad condition.

  • Michelangelo Biography
    Michelangelo Biography Michelangelo (1475 – 1564) Italian Renaissance sculptor, painter, poet and architect. One of the most influential Western artists of all time. “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. “ – Michelangelo Short biography of Michelangelo Michelangelo Buonarroti was born on 6 March 1475, in a Florentine village called Caprese. His father was a serving magistrate of the Florentine Republic and came from an important family. However, Michelangelo did not wish to imitate his father’s career, and was attracted by the artistic world. At the time, this was considered an inferior occupation for a family of his standing. But, aged 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to Domenico Ghirlandaio, the leading fresco wall painter in Florence. Here Michelangelo learned some of the basic painting techniques, and also taught himself new skills such as sculpting. Madonna of the stairs – Michelangelo’s earliest works His talents were soon noticed by one of the most powerful families in Florence – Lorezo de’ Medici. Here, at de Medici’s court, Michelangelo was able to learn from the classic Masters and he became determined to improve upon the great classics of Greek and Latin art. Michelangelo, was born in the heart of the Renaissance movement, at exactly the right place – Florence. But, despite being at the heart of the Renaissance, Florence was undergoing tremendous political turmoil. His first patrons, the de Medici’s, lost power and Michelangelo was forced to look elsewhere for commissions. In 1496, he travelled to Rome where he began a long relationship of doing commissions for the Popes who were making St Peter’s Basilica a pinnacle of Western art.

Investigations on geosites are prevalently carried out on land environments, although the study of underwater marine environments is also of paramount scientific importance. Nevertheless, due to the constraints of underwater environments, these sites have been little explored, also on account of the higher costs and difficulties of surveying. This research has identified and assessed the terrestrial and marine geosites of the Portofino Natural Park and Protected Marine Area, which are internationally famous owing to both the land scenic features and the quality of the marine ecosystem.

He was 91 and lived in Cresskill, N.J. The New York Times, 1964 Craig Hugh Smyth The cause was a heart attack, his daughter, Alexandra, said. Mr. Smyth led the first academic program in conservation in the United States in 1960 as the director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Long before he began his academic career, he worked in the recovery of stolen art. After the defeat of Germany in World War II, Mr. Smyth was made director of the Munich Central Collecting Point, set up by the Allies for works that they retrieved. There, he received art and cultural relics confiscated by the Nazis, cared for them and tried to return them to their owners or their countries of origin. He served as a lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve during the war, and the art job was part of his military service. Upon returning from Germany in 1946, he lectured at the Frick Collection and, in 1949, was awarded a Fulbright research fellowship, which took him to Florence, Italy.

Populations at the border of otter range suffer a high risk of extinction and need frequent monitoring. Here we report about a survey carried out by the standard method in the central Calabria region (Sila Massif and surroundings), which cur- rently represents the southern limit of otter distribution. Otter presence has been recorded for 7 out of 31 sites (22.6%), all belonging to the catchment of the River Savuto. A previ- ous record for the River Neto has not been confirmed. A total of 22 spraints has been col- lected and analysed. Salmonids (Salmo trutta) formed the bulk of otter diet (Vm% = 52.1). Damming and over-fishing could represent the main obstacles to the recolonisation of the area by otters. Habitat management should be addressed to reinforce the existing population and favour its connection to the core of otter range. Key words: Distribution, diet, dams, southern Apennines, Mediterranean ecosystems RIASSUNTO – Monitoraggio della distribuzione della Lontra Lutra lutra al limite meri- dionale del suo areale italiano.
