Wanderings in the Roman Campagna (London 1909), 306-331
Extract from Rodolfo Amedeo Lanciani, Wanderings in the Roman campagna (London 1909), 306-331. 306 WANDERINGS IN THE ROMAN CAMPAGNA He owned three estates, — one at Como, one at Citta di Castello, one on the coast of Laurentum, which he describes with loving care in letter xvii of the second book. Archaeologists have transformed Pliny's den at Laurentum into an immense structure fit for an emperor or for a financial magnate. Canina, for instance, assigns to it a frontage of 250 feet, a depth of 156, and a total area, outbuildings included, of 550,000 square feet;1 and yet Pliny himself speaks of his Laurentinum as being of no importance whatever.2 "Hail," he says, "has ruined the crop in my farm at Tifernum Tiberinum [Citta di Castello]. From my tenants at Como I hear of better prospects, but of low market prices. My Laurentinum alone seems to be right, but what do I own there? A cottage and a garden surrounded by sands!" I am, I believe, the only living archaeologist who can claim the privilege of having entered Pliny's house and walked over its floors and beheld its aspect, during the excavations made in 1906 to gather materials for the macadamizing of a new royal road. There cannot be any uncertainty about its site. Pliny himself points it out, with due precision, when he writes: "I can get the necessaries of life from the nearest village, from which I am separated by only one villa." The village, called the Vicus Augustanus Laurentum, was discovered by King Victor Emmanuel in 1874, and its Forum and its Curia are still traceable through the undergrowth. -

ETRUSCAN TUSCANY – 7 Nights/ 8 Days
ETRUSCAN TUSCANY 8 days to discover the most ancient sites of Tuscany D01: ROME - VITERBO Arrival at Roma airport. Meeting with our bus driver and guide. The trip starts immediately to Cerveteri necropolis of Banditaccia, the oldest evidence of the Etruscan-Italic world of the origins. The architecture of the great tumulus, the ancient conception of the cycle of life, death and rebirth, and sacred arts and sciences. At twilight, nice accommodation in agriturismo near Viterbo. D02: LAKE BOLSENA – SORANO In the morning, trip around the Bolsena Lake to the Parco dei Mostri di Bomarzo, a unique monumental park. Here, carved in the living rock, stand the depictions of the fabulous myths of the ancient world, rediscovered during the Renaissance: the Giants, the Earth Goddess, drakes, sphinxes, sirens and other marvels. After the park, a stop to visit Civita di Bagnoregio, one of the most handsome Italian hamlets, then, trough the panoramic perimeter of the lake of Bolsena, we will arrive to our agriturismo in the Etruscan area Sorano-Pitigliano-Sovana. Dinner at the stunning old borgo of Sorano. D03: SORANO - SOVANA - PITIGLIANO - TUFO AREA Visit to the Etruscan zone of Sovana. Excursion to the volcanic rupestrian environment, where there are still the remains of the major Etruscan monuments like the Tomba della Sirena, the Ildebranda, the Cavone, the Tomba delle Ninfe Alate and many others. After lunch, visit to the medieval borgo of Sovana to the Duomo and the Church of Santa Maria, where the face of Jesus is said to have appeared, then proceeding to the Spring of the river Sileno and down to the Via Cava di San Giuseppe, walking up to the walled city of Pitigliano. -
Mosquitoes, Quinine and the Socialism of Italian Women 1900–1914
MOSQUITOES, QUININE AND THE SOCIALISM OF ITALIAN WOMEN 1900–1914 Malaria qualifies as a major issue of modern Italian history because of the burden of death, suffering and economic cost that it imposed. But it is fruitful to examine its history from a more hopeful, if largely neglected, vantage point. Paradoxically, mal- aria — or rather the great campaign to eradicate it with quinine — played a substantial political role. It promoted the rise of the Italian labour movement, the formation of a socialist aware- ness among farmworkers and the establishment of a collective consciousness among women. In 1900 the Italian parliament declared war on malaria. After a series of vicissitudes, this project achieved final victory in 1962 when the last indigenous cases were reported.1 Italy thus provided the classic example of the purposeful eradication of malaria. The argument here is that the early phase of this campaign down to the First World War played a profoundly subversive role. The campaign served as a catalyst to mass movements by farmworkers, especially women. Three geographical areas were most affected: the rice belt of Novara and Pavia provinces in the North, the Roman Campagna in the Centre, and the province of Foggia in the South. Inevitably, this argument involves the intersection of malaria with two further disasters that befell millions. One was the mis- fortune of being born a farm labourer in a society where serious commentators debated who suffered more — Italian braccianti (farmworkers) in the latter half of the nineteenth century or American slaves in the first.2 The other disaster was the burden of being not only a field hand but also a woman in a nation that Anna Kuliscioff, the most prominent feminist of the period, 1 World Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe, Prevention of the Reintroduction of Malaria in the Countries of the Western Mediterranean: Report on a WHO Meeting, Erice (Italy), 23–27 October 1979 (Geneva, 1979), 5. -

Claude Lorrain and the Roman Campagna
Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2017 Site Specific: The power of place Claude Lorrain and the Roman Campagna Dr Lisa Beaven 15 & 16 February 2017 Lecture summary: For more than half a century Claude Lorrain drew and painted the Roman Campagna (the countryside around Rome). His example inspired generations of artists, particularly the French, to travel there and paint it. He thus legitimised the Roman Campagna as a subject for artists and yet there have been very few attempts to consider his paintings in relation to place. This lecture studies his landscape paintings in the context of the topography and environmental history of the Roman Campagna and the social conditions that existed there during the seventeenth century.

Federico Selvi a Critical Checklist of the Vascular Flora of Tuscan Maremma
Federico Selvi A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy) Abstract Selvi, F.: A critical checklist of the vascular flora of Tuscan Maremma (Grosseto province, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 20: 47-139. 2010. — ISSN 1120-4052. The Tuscan Maremma is a historical region of central western Italy of remarkable ecological and landscape value, with a surface of about 4.420 km2 largely corresponding to the province of Grosseto. A critical inventory of the native and naturalized vascular plant species growing in this territory is here presented, based on over twenty years of author's collections and study of relevant herbarium materials and literature. The checklist includes 2.056 species and subspecies (excluding orchid hybrids), of which, however, 49 should be excluded, 67 need confirmation and 15 have most probably desappeared during the last century. Considering the 1.925 con- firmed taxa only, this area is home of about 25% of the Italian flora though representing only 1.5% of the national surface. The main phytogeographical features in terms of life-form distri- bution, chorological types, endemic species and taxa of particular conservation relevance are presented. Species not previously recorded from Tuscany are: Anthoxanthum ovatum Lag., Cardamine amporitana Sennen & Pau, Hieracium glaucinum Jord., H. maranzae (Murr & Zahn) Prain (H. neoplatyphyllum Gottschl.), H. murorum subsp. tenuiflorum (A.-T.) Schinz & R. Keller, H. vasconicum Martrin-Donos, Onobrychis arenaria (Kit.) DC., Typha domingensis (Pers.) Steud., Vicia loiseleurii (M. Bieb) Litv. and the exotic Oenothera speciosa Nutt. Key words: Flora, Phytogeography, Taxonomy, Tuscan Maremma. Introduction Inhabited by man since millennia and cradle of the Etruscan civilization, Maremma is a historical region of central-western Italy that stretches, in its broadest sense, from south- ern Tuscany to northern Latium in the provinces of Pisa, Livorno, Grosseto and Viterbo. -
Comunicato Stampa Dei Sindaci
I Sindaci dei Comuni di Manciano, Sorano, Capalbio, Monte Argentario, Scansano, Pitigliano, Orbetello, Magliano in Toscana e Isola del Giglio, hanno intrapreso da tempo un lavoro collettivo e, in successivi incontri, valutato la situazione del servizio di raccolta e smaltimento dei rifiuti. Con questo comunicato i Sindaci intendono informare la cittadinanza sul lavoro che hanno svolto e sulle proposte che hanno presentato all'attenzione dell'Autorità di Ambito. E' utile precisare che il servizio di raccolta e smaltimento dei rifiuti è governato dall' ATO Toscana Sud, l’ambito in cui opera il Gestore Unico (SEI Toscana) e che raggruppa i 103 Comuni delle Province di Arezzo, Grosseto e Siena più 6 Comuni della Val di Cornia, per un totale di 109 Comuni. L’organo deliberante è l'Assemblea formata dai Sindaci dei 109 Comuni, le proposte di delibera provengono da un Consiglio Direttivo, formato da 7 sindaci e da un Direttore Generale di area tecnica. Il Gestore Unico proviene da un raggruppamento di imprese che già operavano sui territori, la maggioranza delle quali sono a partecipazione pubblica (Coseca, Aisa, Siena Ambiente). Lo sviluppo di un area vasta “Toscana Sud”, governata da un unica Autorità e servita da un unico Gestore, proviene dalla pianificazione voluta dalla Regione Toscana con l'intento di creare una “gestione industriale” del servizio, che portasse ad economie di scala e conseguenti risparmi nella gestione dello stesso. I vertici di ATO, a più voci, nelle assemblee dello scorso anno hanno ripetuto che, a parità di servizi -
