  • LUCIGNANO, GUSTO E NATURA in VALDICHIANA a 2 PASSI DALLE CRETE SENESI Pubblicato Su Borghi Italia Tour Network (
    LUCIGNANO, GUSTO E NATURA IN VALDICHIANA A 2 PASSI DALLE CRETE SENESI Pubblicato su Borghi Italia Tour Network (https://www.bitn.it/) LUCIGNANO, GUSTO E NATURA IN VALDICHIANA A 2 PASSI DALLE CRETE AllaSENESI scoperta della perla della Valdichiana Lucignano, da tutti definita “La perla della Valdichiana” è un piccolo borgo della Toscana che rappresenta uno degli esempi più straordinari di urbanistica medioevale per il suo impianto a forma ellittica ad anelli viari concentrici pervenutoci intatto dai secoli. E’ ubicato in un luogo strategico, sulla sommità di un colle dominante la Valdichiana, in un punto fondamentale per il controllo di uno storico percorso di collegamento fra le città di Siena ed Arezzo, e questo l’ha reso strategicamente importante fin dall’antichità. Per questo motivo, per circa tre secoli, dal 1200 al 1500, Lucignano ha subito continui passaggi di giurisdizione tra Siena, Arezzo Firenze e Perugia, città della quale ebbe in dono la possibilità di fregiarsi nel proprio stemma (tutt’ora adottato) del Grifone Alato. Attualmente il paese mantiene intatto il suo fascino di antico borgo che ha saputo conservare un’immagine tranquilla e serena dove la tradizione agricola e quella artigiana offrono al visitatore una interessante gamma di prodotti: dal pregiato olio extravergine di oliva al miele, alla pregiatissima produzione di ceramica alla carne e salumi di chianina e cinta senese. Visiterete una cantina dove potrete degustare i pregiati vini che offre il territorio accompagnati da prodotti tipici, passeggiando anche fra i vigneti dove vengono prodotti. La struttura: Situato a pochi passi dal centro di Lucignano, a 20 minuti d'auto dalle Terme di Rapolano, dalle Crete Senesi e dalla Val d'Orcia, questa residenza di campagna è un angolo di paradiso dove staccare dal quotidiano e rilassarsi in mezzo agli olivi, contornati dai colori delle colline che si toccano con i colori del cielo, dove ci si sveglia dolcemente con i rumori della natura.

Riproduzione ammessa per fini non commerciali. BIBLIOTHECA Prologue Describing a plant might seem banal if it was not for the fact that the plant being described is on the verge of extinction and practically unknown. Aglione di Valdichiana is, on the one hand, a basic garden vegetable. But it is also much more than that. It is a pearl that has been hidden away for years (and which we have now rediscovered) that relays the character of the terroir and the sweet breath of Venus. It’s the beginning of a new project! An incipit! Hidden in its vertical shape is a sign that indicates a path that speaks of distant origins, powerful symbols, and ancient civilizations. We shall leave to others the work of looking for and discovering the cultural references that confirm intuitions or creative fantasies. We have a different task: beginning. – We need to begin producing aglione according to fair agricultural trade regulations that respect the earth and its fruits; – We need to begin a path of communication that, before even cultivating the earth, helps us cultivate ourselves; – We need to begin welcoming growers who believe in a sustainable project that is re- spectful of the fundamental rules of healthy living, people who are not subordinate to or trapped by commercial interests or ideologies that have nothing to do with the healthy passion for farming; – We need to look beyond, not simply at the result of our planted fields but at a new use of the product, we need to collaborate with producers of specialty foods, without jealousy or provincial narrow-mindedness.

  • An Endorheic Lake in a Changing Climate: Geochemical Investigations at Lake Trasimeno (Italy)

It is the fourth Italian largest lake and is one of the largest endorheic basins in western Europe. Because of its shallow depth and the absence of natural outflows, the lake, in historical times, alternated from periods of floods to strong decreases of the water level during periods of prolonged drought. Lake water is characterised by a NaCl composition and relatively high salinity. The geochemical and isotopic monitoring of lake water from 2006 to 2018 shows the presence of well-defined seasonal trends, strictly correlated to precipitation regime and evaporation. These trends are clearly highlighted by the isotopic composition of lake water (δ18O and δD) and by the variations of dissolved mobile species.

  • Get App Archaeological Itineraries In
    TUSCANY ARCHAEOLOGICAL ITINERARIES A Journey from Prehistory to the Roman Age ONCE UPON A TIME... That’s how fables start, once upon a time there was – what? A region bathed by the sea, with long beaches the colour of gold, rocky cliffs plunging into crystalline waters and many islands dotting the horizon. There was once a region cov- ered by rolling hills, where the sun lavished all the colours of the earth, where olive trees and grapevines still grow, ancient as the history of man, and where fortified towns and cities seem open-air museums. There was once a region with ver- dant plains watered by rivers and streams, surrounded by high mountains, monasteries, and forests stretching as far as the eye could see. There was, in a word, Tuscany, a region that has always been synonymous with beauty and nature, art and history, especially Medieval and Renaissance history, a land whose fame has spread the world over. And yet, if we stop to look closely, this region offers us many more treasures and new histories, the emotion aroused only by beauty. Because along with the most famous places, monuments and museums, we can glimpse a Tuscany that is even more ancient and just as wonderful, bear- ing witness not only to Roman and Etruscan times but even to prehistoric ages. Although this evidence is not as well known as the treasures that has always been famous, it is just as exciting to discover. This travel diary, ad- dressed to all lovers of Tuscany eager to explore its more hidden aspects, aims to bring us back in time to discover these jewels.

  • Umbra Institute Summer Archaeologyprospectus3gen
    Umbra Institute Trasimeno Archaeology Field School, Summer 2015; in cooperation with DePauw University SUMMER 2015 DIG IN ITALY: ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY, RESEARCH, AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH GENERAL DESCRIPTION: This interdisciplinary program focuses on the topography, history, and material culture of the Lake Trasimeno region. Located in Umbria, the "Green Heart of Italy," Lake Trasimeno's cultural heritage and historical significance extends from the prehistoric period, to the famous battle between Carthage and Rome on its shores in 217 BC, to the modern day. The summer archaeology program, which saw its first iteration in 2014, is based in Castiglione del Lago, a modern town whose Medieval heritage is visible today and whose Roman and Etruscan past waits to be uncovered. Students enroll in two courses, ARFW 350: Archaeological Field Workshop and ARCL 340: Archaeological Heritage of Lake Trasimeno. • The Archaeological Field Workshop provides students with hands-on experience in archaeological field methods, artifact analysis, survey, and heritage protection and presentation. In 2015, two components to this course are planned. Students will gain experience in both components, which are supervised by Umbra Institute faculty, DePauw University faculty, and professional archaeologists, and are supported by officials and citizens of the Comune of Castiglione del Lago. o Excavation and survey in and around Castiglione del Lago and its castle that overlooks the shore of Lake Trasimeno, e.g., the small church inside the castle; a probable Roman villa on the south slopes of the ridge outside the castle fortifications; località Rigutini, a likely sanctuary site along the shore north of town; or località Poggio S. Maria, on slopes overlooking Lago di Chiusi, where bronze coins and stamps have been recovered.

  • UMBRIA Is a Region of Central Italy
    UMBRIA Is a region of central Italy. It includes lake Trasimeno and Marmore Falls, and is crossed by the River Tiber. The regional capital is Perugia. Umbria is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, culinary de- lights, artistic legacy, and influence on culture. The region is characterized by hills, mountains, valleys and historical towns such as the university centre of Perugia, Assisi, a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites, works by Giotto and Cimabue, Terni, the hometown of St. Valentine, Norcia, the hometown of St. Benedict, Città di Castello, main center of the early Renaissance situated in the Tiber High Valley, Gubbio, the hometown of t. Ubaldo, Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, hometown of the Fran- ciscan mystic Jacopone da Todi, Castiglione del Lago, Narni, Amelia, and other small cities. Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west and the north, Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. Partly hilly and mountainous, and partly flat and fer- tile owing to the valley of the Tiber, its topography includes part of the central Apennines In antiquity, the plain was covered by a pair of shallow, interlock- ing lakes, the Lacus Clitorius and the Lacus Umber. They were drained by the Romans over several hun- dred years. The eastern part of the region, being crossed by many faults, has been often hit by earth- quakes: the last ones have been that of 1997 (which hit Foligno, Assisi and Nocera Umbra) and those of 2016 (which struck Norcia and the Valnerina).

This distinctive difference immediately led to the question of “where did the Etruscans originate?” Where did the Etruscans originate? • Some Greeks held that the Etruscans came from Lydia, a kingdom of western Anatolia (or modern day Turkey). • In the 19th c, it was discovered that most of the languages of Europe belonged to one big language family called Indo- European but Etruscan was not one of them. – The Etruscan language is unique in the ancient Greco- Roman world. There are no known parent languages to Etruscan, nor are there any modern descendants. As Romans took control, Latin became the dominant language. – We have no surviving histories or literature in Etruscan.
