  • Sintesi Analisi Comparativa Della Soluzione Alternativa Ai Progetti Di
    SCHEDA ANALISI COMPARATIVA AUSINO Sintesi analisi comparativa della soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione 1 dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno L’Ausino servizi idrici integrati ha proposto alla Provincia di Salerno una soluzione alternativa ai progetti di realizzazione dei depuratori in Costiera Amalfitana a servizio dei Comuni di Maiori, Minori, Ravello, Atrani, Scala e in più Tramonti con il collettamento dei reflui al depuratore consortile di Salerno che appare essere più sostenibile e meno aggressiva per il territorio. La soluzione analizzata è rappresentata essenzialmente da una condotta sottomarina di adduzione, della lunghezza di 18,1 km circa, che consentirebbe di evitare di realizzare i due nuovi impianti di depurazione: Maiori-Minori (27.000 ab.eq.) e Ravello-Atrani-Scala (11.500 ab.eq.) oltre al futuro e necessario potenziamento di un terzo impianto, ovvero quello di Tramonti (7.000 ab.eq). Il confronto tra le due alternative, ambedue compatibili con le normative vigenti, è stato sviluppato tenendo conto dei seguenti aspetti: Economici: la condotta sottomarina di adduzione con le relative opere a terra, trova capienza nelle somme destinate ai progetti delle nuove realizzazioni previste (impianti di Maiori-Minori e RavelloAtrani-Scala) e risulta di ben più facile realizzazione e gestione. Tempi di attuazione: la posa di una condotta sottomarina DN560 in PE per circa 18,1 km, tra l’attuale stazione di pompaggio in Maiori e l’area dell’impianto di depurazione di Salerno, (compresa tra le foci del torrente Fuorni e del fiume Picentino), richiede un tempo di realizzazione brevissimo, pari a circa 3 mesi di lavoro, ben inferiori a qualunque altra soluzione, finanche delle stesse opere a terra necessarie per collegare tutti i comuni serviti.

    UNEARTH THE ESSENCE OF THE AMALFI COAST WITH OUR EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES CONTENTS SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES 3 COASTAL LIVING 12 WINING AND DINING 23 TREASURES OF THE LAND 38 ART AND CULTURE 49 – SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES 3 MYSTERIES OF NAPLES Italian writer and journalist Curzio Malaparte once wrote: “Naples is the most mysterious city in Europe. It is the only city in the ancient world that has not perished like Ilium, like Nineveh, like Babylon. It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals. Customise your tour, choosing from: – Farmacia degli Incurabili: This pharmaceutical laboratory was a meeting point for the Neapolitan Enlightened elite. Discover the intriguing anecdotes of a place where art and science collided. – Biblioteca dei Girolamini: Home to a vast archive of books and opera music since 1586, this is the oldest public library in Naples. – San Gaudioso Catacombs: Concealed beneath the Basilica di Santa Maria della Santità lies one of the most important early Christian cemeteries in Naples. Head underground to unearth the mysterious crypt’s secrets. – Sansevero Chapel: Preserving the Veiled Christ, one of the greatest masterpieces ever carved in marble, this chapel is an iconic example of 18th-century creativity. The statues appear so fluid and soft, you may be tempted to reach out and touch them. Visits may vary according to availability.

  • Travel's Taste
    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

  • Studio Idraulico Dell'evento Alluvionale Avvenuto Ad Atrani
    Studio idraulico dell’evento alluvionale avvenuto ad Atrani (SA) il 9 settembre 2010 PARTE I: ricostruzione dell’evento Vittorio Bovolin Università degli Studi di Salerno Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile Fisciano Gennaio 2012 Nel tardo pomeriggio del 9 settembre 2010 la Campania è stata interessata dal passaggio di una perturbazione caratterizzata da intense precipitazioni, che, all’incirca tra le 18:30 e le 19:30, hanno provocato l’allagamento di alcune porzioni dell’abitato di Atrani (SA). La previsione e prevenzione degli eventi alluvionali in bacini di piccole dimensioni risultano particolarmente complicate in particolare per la ridotta durata temporale del fenomeno. L’Unione Europea consapevole di tali problematiche ha finanziato, nell’ambito del VII Programma Quadro, un progetto di ricerca denominato IMPRINTS finalizzato all’approfondimento delle tematiche relative alla mitigazione dei fenomeni di flash floods e colate detritiche Il Centro interUniversitario per la prevenzione dei Grandi Rischi (CUGRI), come entità tecnico scientifica, e l’Autorità di Bacino del Destra Sele, come entità territoriale. sono i componenti italiani di tale progetto. Il bacino del torrente Dragone, interessato dall’evento del 9 settembre 2010, è adiacente al bacino del torrente Sambuco che è il bacino campione del progetto IMPRINTS. E’ sembrato pertanto opportuno approfondire gli aspetti idraulici relativi all’evento avvenuto nel bacino del Torrente Dragone. Lo studio si compone di due parti: - PARTE I: Ricostruzione dell’evento - PARTE II: Simulazioni tridimensionali La PARTE I contiene le analisi e le attività finalizzate alla studio dell’evento con particolare attenzione alla ricostruzione dell’andamento temporale delle portate che sono defluite nel corso dell’evento stesso.

  • Flood Risk Estimation Through Document Sources Analysis: the Case of the Amalfi Rocky Coast
    Flood Risk Estimation through Document Sources Analysis: the Case of the Amalfi Rocky Coast E. Esposito1, S. Porfido1, C. Violante1, F. Molisso1, M. Sacchi1, G. Santoro1, E. Spiga2 1, Institute for Coastal Marine Environment, CNR, Napoli, Italy 2, Geologist, ES OR Campania n.85, Avellino, Italy [email protected] Abstract In the last century the Amalfi Coast was affected by numerous severe floods in conjunction with exceptional rainfall that caused major damage in terms of lost lives and economic cost. Historical documentary sources are an important source of infor- mation for reconstructing exceptional flood events occurring prior to the instrumental era. Historical analysis also provides an opportunity to extend the time scale window for flood risk studies. To study historical floods we collected all the available infor- mation concerning the period between the 16th and the 20th centuries by analysing both published and unpublished sources. The great variety of historical sources made it necessary to formulate an ad hoc scientific procedure that takes into account not only the completeness and reliability of documents related to the period, but also the intrinsic quality of the material. Experience in historical data collection shows that not all documentary sources can provide useful information for flood charac- terization, but it is necessary to have a selective criteria in order to obtain the best information rather than the best dataset quality. Analysis of the data in question allowed us to achieve a chronological reconstruction of more than 100 floods. In this task, the level of information was decisive to carry out space–time identification, estimate the affected area and define type of damage to public and private structures, and the geological effects induced.
