Sumptuous feasts in local eateries. Hidden sites with extraordinary stories. Dream views you’ll pinch yourself over. Every tour promises treasured experiences, but here’s a few gems – handpicked by the Back-Roads team. 10 SCOTLAND 01 ANDALUCIA, SPAIN Forget the history books. The best way to understand this region’s Moorish heritage is to envelop yourself in it. And there’s no better way than standing and marvelling at the astounding 8th century Mosque in Cordoba. 02 PROVENCE, FRANCE 13 Picture yourself sitting in the exact spot that captivated IRELAND %Å\CPPGCPF/CVKUUGCPFƂTGFVJGKOCIKPCVKQPUQH8CP ENGLAND Gogh and Picasso – seeing the same canvas of colourful, 12 light-dapped countryside that they did. WALES 09 03 RUSSIA NE There’s only one way to drink clear, crisp vodka in Russia – straight down, of course. Pull up a stool, watch the locals BELGIU and don’t forget to make a toast before you join in with this must-do drinking trend. 04 FLORENCE, ITALY 11 It’s the battle of the Duomos. When you stand outside Florence’s grand master, you’ll be bowled over by its majestic presence. But then you’re on to Siena, where the mosaic and marble details inside its Duomo win hands down when it comes to interiors. Photos simply don’t do them justice – to decide on your favourite, you need to see them for yourself. 05 SICILY, ITALY Begin with a melting pot of ancient Greek temples, FRANCE ornate palazzos and Norman churches. Add little-known 02 Italian delicacies, such as a bite of Cannolo Siciliano – crisp rolled pastries hiding a sweet surprise inside – and you’ll enjoy an unforgettable taste of what makes Sicily so unique. 06 PORTUGAL 06 SPAIN Follow the locals – and your nose – to a lunch spot PORTUGAL UGTXKPIƂUJUQWR+VoUGCU[QPVJGYCNNGVDWVJCTFVQ TGUKUV+H[QWoXGUGGPVJGƂUJGTOGPJCWNKPIKPVJGKTECVEJ that day you’ll know it’s made from straight-from-the-sea ingredients, taking freshness to a whole new level. 01 07 MOROCCO As the call to prayer rings out, the scent of a hundred URKEGUƂNNUVJGCKTCPFUVQT[VGNNGTUDGIKPVQURKPVJGKTVCNGU you’ll be right in the heart of it all. And no doubt you’ll have a cup of steaming, minty Morocco tea in hand – because it’s irresistible. 07 MOROCCO FINLAND RUSSIA 08 DUBROVNIK, CROATIA There’s a particular spot on the city wall that will give 03 you a seat in front of the most exquisite sunset. Knowing where it is and sitting there as the sun dips below the NORWAY SWEDEN horizon is priceless. 14 15 09 WHITSTABLE, ENGLAND Close your eyes and imagine the juiciest oysters being shucked (and Savored), with the sand between your toes QPVJGDC[6JGUGRCTVKEWNCTUJGNNƂUJECPQPN[DGHQWPF on a particular Kent seabed, and sampling them when they’re fresh out of the sea is a rare treat.

  • Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Department of Archaeology Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey by Donovan William Hawley Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HUMANITIES Archaeology Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Lithics, Landscape and People: Life Beyond the Monuments in Prehistoric Guernsey Donovan William Hawley Although prehistoric megalithic monuments dominate the landscape of Guernsey, these have yielded little information concerning the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Early Bronze Age communities who inhabited the island in a broader landscape and maritime context. For this thesis it was therefore considered timely to explore the alternative material culture resource of worked flint and stone archived in the Guernsey museum. Largely ignored in previous archaeological narratives on the island or considered as unreliable data, the argument made in this thesis is for lithics being an ideal resource that, when correctly interrogated, can inform us of past people’s actions in the landscape. In order to maximise the amount of obtainable data, the lithics were subjected to a wide ranging multi-method approach encompassing all stages of the châine opératoire from material acquisition to discard, along with a consideration of the landscape context from which the material was recovered. The methodology also incorporated the extensive corpus of lithic knowledge that has been built up on the adjacent French mainland, a resource largely passed over in previous Channel Island research. By employing this approach, previously unknown patterns of human occupation and activity on the island, and the extent and temporality of maritime connectivity between Guernsey and mainland areas has been revealed.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom, but rather his faith and lovingness. If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.

  • Nomi E Storie Delle Vittime Innocenti Delle Mafie
    Nomi e storie delle vittime innocenti delle mafie a cura di Marcello Scaglione e dei ragazzi del Presidio “Francesca Morvillo” di Libera Genova Realizzato in occasione della mostra “900 Nomi vittime di mafia dal 1893 ad oggi” inaugurata ad Imperia il 21 Marzo 2016 in occasione della XXI Giornata della memoria e dell’impegno - ”Ponti di memoria, luoghi di impegno”. I nomi presenti nella mostra sono quelli accertati fino all'anno 2015, ed in particolare quelli letti a Bologna durante la XX Giornata della Memoria e dell'Impegno in ricordo delle vittime innocenti delle mafie (21 marzo 2015). Il lavoro di ricerca, inizialmente limitato a quell'elenco, è stato poi implementato e aggiornato, comprendendo quindi le storie delle vittime innocenti i cui nomi sono stati letti durante la XXI Giornata della Memoria e dell'Impegno (21 marzo 2016). Sarà nostro impegno e cura eseguire successivamente gli aggiornamenti necessari. Siamo inoltre disponibili a intervenire sulle singole storie, laddove dovessero essere ravvisati errori e/o imprecisioni. EMANUELE NOTABARTOLO, 01/02/1893 Nato in una famiglia aristocratica palermitana, presto rimane orfano di entrambi i genitori. Cresciuto in Sicilia, nel 1857 si trasferisce prima a Parigi, poi in Inghilterra, dove conosce Michele Amari e Mariano Stabile, due esuli siciliani che lo influenzeranno molto. Avvicinatosi all'economia e alla storia, diventa sostenitore del liberalismo conservatore (quindi vicino alla Destra storica). Dal 1862 Emanuele Notarbartolo diventa prima reggente, poi titolare, del Banco di Sicilia, al quale si dedica a tempo pieno a partire dal 1876, salvandolo dal fallimento in seguito all'Unità d'Italia. Il suo lavoro al Banco di Sicilia inizia a inimicargli molta gente.
