Winery: Tenuta di Castellaro Vigneron: Salvo Foti/ I Vigneri Name: Nero Ossidiana Varietal: 70% Corinto Nero, 30% Nero d’Avola originally from Greece, Corinto Nero was brought to the Aeolian Islands in the 6th century. It is very hardy, loves sandy soils and escaped phylloxera entirely so it is one of the few varietals that remains on it's own root stock. The majority of Corinto Nero here in Lipari is 100+ years old. Region: Lipari Island (Aeolian Islands) Lipari is one of the Aeolian islands located 24 miles off the northern coast of Sicily. Archeological digs have unearthed items that show this island was inhabited in 5,000 B.C. One can only imagine the history here.

Rdna Fingerprinting As a Tool in Epidemiological Analysis of Salmonella Typhi Infections
Epidemiol. Infect. (1991), 107, 565-576 565 Printed in Great Britain rDNA fingerprinting as a tool in epidemiological analysis of Salmonella typhi infections A. NASTAS1, C. MAMMINA AND M. R. VILLAFRATE Department of Hygiene & Microbiology 'G. D'Alessandro', Center for Enterobacteriaceae of Southern Italy, University of Palermo, via del Vespro 133, 90127 Palermo, Italy (Accepted 11 July 1991) SUMMARY Characterization of 169 strains of Salmonella typhi of phage types C1; C4, D1 and D9 isolated in 1975-88 was carried out by rDNA gene restriction pattern analysis. Twenty-four isolates had been recovered during four large waterbone outbreaks in the last 20 years in Sicily; 145 strains, isolated from apparently sporadic cases of infection in Southern Italy in the same period of time, were also examined. Application of rRNA-DNA hybridization technique after digestion of chromo- somal DNA with Cla I showed the identity of patterns of the epidemic strains of phage types C1 and D1; confirming attribution of the outbreaks to single bacterial clones. Patterns of the two available strains of lysotype D9 were slightly different, whilst the 12 epidemic strains of phage type C4 could be assigned to two distinct patterns scarcely related to each other and, consequently, to two different clones. A considerable heterogeneity was detected among all apparently sporadic isolates of the four phage types under study. This fingerprinting method appears a reliable tool to complement phage typing in characterizing isolates of S. typhi. In particular, epidemiological features of spread of this salmonella serovar in areas, where simultaneous circulation of indigenous and imported strains occurs, can be elucidated.

Antonello Da Messina's Dead Christ Supported by Angels in the Prado
1 David Freedberg The Necessity of Emotion: Antonello da Messina’s Dead Christ supported by Angels in the Prado* To look at Antonello da Messina’s painting of the Virgin in Palermo (fig. 1) is to ask three questions (at least): Is this the Virgin Annunciate, the Immaculate Mother of God about to receive the message that she will bear the Son of God? Or is it a portrait, perhaps even of someone we know or might know? Does it matter? No. What matters is that we respond to her as if she were human, not divine or transcendental—someone we might know, even in the best of our dreams. What matters is that she almost instantly engages our attention, that her hand seems to stop us in our passage, that we are drawn to her beautiful and mysterious face, that we recognize her as someone whose feelings we feel we might understand, someone whose emotional state is accessible to us. Immediately, upon first sight of her, we are involved in her; swiftly we notice the shadow across her left forehead and eye, and across the right half of her face, the slight turn of the mouth, sensual yet quizzical at the same time.1 What does all this portend? She has been reading; her hand is shown in the very act of being raised, as if she were asking for a pause, reflecting, no doubt on what she has just seen. There is no question about the degree of art invested in this holy image; but even before we think about the art in the picture, what matters is that we are involved in it, by * Originally given as a lecture sponsored by the Fondación Amigos Museo del Prado at the Museo del Prado on January 10, 2017, and published as “Necesidad de la emoción: El Cristo muerto sostenido por un ángel de Antonello de Messina,” in Los tesoros ocultos del Museo del Prado, Madrid: Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado; Crítica/Círculo de Lectores, 2017, 123-150.

Notes from the Sicilian Archipelago
Baldacchino: Sicily/Lingering Colonial Outlier - ISLAND REFLECTIONS - LINGERING COLONIAL OUTLIER YET MINIATURE CONTINENT: NOTES FROM THE SICILIAN ARCHIPELAGO GODFREY BALDACCHINO University of Malta/ University of Prince Edward Island <[email protected]> Abstract The fortunes of the wider Mediterranean Sea, the world’s largest, have never rested on Sicily, its largest island. A stubbornly peripheral region, and possibly the world’s most bridgeable island, Sicily has been largely neglected within the field of Island Studies. The physically largest island with the largest population in the region, and housing Europe’s most active volcano, Sicily has moved from being a hinterland for warring factions (Sparta/Athens, Carthage/Rome), to a more centrist stage befitting its location, although still remaining a political outlier in the modern era. Unlike many even smaller islands with smaller populations, however, Sicily has remained an appendage to a larger, and largely dysfunctional, state. The Maltese islands are part of ‘the Sicilian archipelago’, and it was a whim of Charles V of Spain that politically cut off Malta from this node in the 1520s, but not culturally. This article will review some of the multiple representations of this island, and its changing fortunes. Keywords Archipelago, heterotopias, Island Studies, Sicily, Italy, Malta, Mediterranean, periphery Introduction In both its physical and its human setting, the Mediterranean crossroads, the Mediterranean patchwork, leaves a coherent image in the mind as a system in which everything mingles and is then recast to form a new, original unity (Braudel, 1985: 5). On a clear wintry day, one can easily see the snow-capped top of Mount Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, from various vantage points on the Maltese islands; and the lights along the southern Sicilian coast are also readily visible from the northern hills of Malta during clear nights (see Figure 1).

Taormina/Messina Conference1 2Nd – 4Th OCTOBER 2020 the FUTURE of EUROPE in a POST PANDEMIC WORLD
Taormina/Messina conference1 2nd – 4th OCTOBER 2020 THE FUTURE OF EUROPE IN A POST PANDEMIC WORLD MANIFESTO AND CONCLUSIONS FOR FURTHER DEBATES The Messina/Taormina Conference “THE FUTURE OF EUROPE IN A POST PANDEMIC WORLD” co-organized by Vision (the Think Tank) and Taobuk (The Taormina Book Festival) has taken place in the very days while the continent was confronting the second wave of the Pandemic from coronavirus. This has been the greatest crisis since 1945, a crisis that not only promises to accelerate the pre-existing technology-driven mutations that have been overthrowing mainstream practices and assumptions but could also produce disruptive transformations in its own right. As this still new crisis has been unfolding, it has become clear that the emergency has the potential to radically remake the fundamentals both of the European Union and of the whole Western European way of life. It could do so in a dramatically constructive way. Or, equally, in a dramatically destructive way. The European Commission’s decision to propose an ambitious, unprecedented plan for recovery (the 750 billion euro Next Generation EU) which will be financed by the European Commission own resources is certainly the sign that COVID19 has triggered a sense of urgency which has not been seen before. However, the EU needs more: it needs objectives and decision-making mechanisms which can bring a great 20th century project into the new century. 1 The first day of the three days conference was hosted by the University of Messina. We thank the Rector, Professor Salvatore Cuzzocrea, the faculty and the staff for the support.

Most of the coastal areas experienced severe earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis in historical and/or modern times. The most prominent example is the Messina earthquake of Dec. 28, 1908 (Ms=7.3; 80,000 casualties), which was characterized by the worst tsunami Italy experienced in the historical time (~2000 casualties). It is, however, still unclear, whether this tsunami was triggered by a sudden vertical movement along a major fault during the earthquake or as a result of a giant marine slide initiated by the earth-quake. The recurrence rates of major landslides and therefore the risk associated with landslides is also unknown. Based on detailed bathymetric data sets collected by Italian colleagues in the frame of the MaGIC Project (MArine Geohazards along the Italian Coast), we collected seismic data (2D and 3D) and gravity cores in three working areas (The Messina Straits, off Eastern Sicily, the Gioia Basin). The main objectives is to identify seismogenic faults, to map and characterize volcanic and non- volcanic submarine slides, and to study tectonic control on canyon evolution.

Forever Young the Strange Youth of the Macedonian Kings*
Karanos 3, 2020 39-57 Forever Young The strange youth of the Macedonian Kings* by Antonio Ignacio Molina Marín Universidad de Alcalá de Henares [email protected] ABSTRACT Traditionally, the belief has been that the Hellenistic kings began to shave their beards following the example of Alexander the Great. This paper proposes a new vision of this idea, given that explains the shaven face of Alexander through the youngness of the Macedonian kings. In our opinion, the sovereigns of Macedonia were presented many times by their fathers or regents like eternal teenagers in order to remain in power for as long as possible. Thus, the only way for any member of the Argead dynasty to achieve complete autonomy and to be fully free was to be seated on the throne. The same happen during the lifetime of popular generals (Parmenion) or advisers (Aratus). The royal portrait created by the Diadochoi was a symbol of power through which they could govern, never was an imitation of a real one. However, this royal portrait was inspired by Macedonian models that presented the Argead prince as inexpert and weak when they were unbearded. KEYWORDS Argead Dynasty, Hellenistic kings, Alexander the Great, Iconography, Power, Beard. The unforgettable Stephan Zweig (The world of yesterday: An autobiography1) said that maturity had always been the model sought by European man until the 20th century: “The newspapers recommended preparations which hastened the growth of the beard, and twenty-four- and twenty-five-year-old doctors, who had just finished their examinations, wore mighty beards and gold spectacles even if their eyes did not need them, so that they could make an impression of “experience” upon their first patients.
