The first ever book authored by a member of the Florio family. A unique perspective to discover the story, the protagonists and their best-guarded secrets. “The Florio dynasty died out with my mother Giulia, but I still feel their name imprinted on my skin. And I want to make their story known to the world, along with the beauty of my island, a region I consider peerless in the whole of Italy”. COSTANZA AFAN DE RIVERA “Giulia Florio was an extraordinary mother, for both she had both personal kindness and the strength of character that was the hallmark of the Florio’s. Determination was a family trait.” Costanza’s voice is gentle and yet it betrays the pride and fierceness that spring from the awareness of one’s roots. From their homeland in Sicily, at the turn of the last century, the Florio family had reached the very top of European economic power. But with the First World War its empire began to topple. Born and raised in luxury, Giulia found herself in Rome, having to make do and find a living for herself. Her life, lasting a span of eighty years, is the stuff of novels – full of disappointments and triumphs, joys and sorrow. Set in the saga of a dynasty of genteel entrepreneurs, the story of an unconventional and deeply free woman who personally lived the most dramatic events of an entire century. As told in the engaging and moving voice of an eyewitness – her daughter. Costanza Afan De Rivera, the daughter of Giulia Florio and granddaughter of Ignazio and Franca Florio, was born in 1950. A tough and charismatic lady, she has worked in politics, art and music, and has made it her life calling to promote the public’s appreciation of Sicily. She lives between Rome and Palermo. Spring 2020 Fiction and Non Fiction rights list 20 NON FICTION AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD MY STORY, FROM THE TOP OF THE NANGA PARBAT TO THE HELL OF G7 CALA CIMENTI Imprint: Sperling & Kupfer Pages: 256 Publication: April 2020 Cala Cimenti had dreamt all his life of conquering the Nanga Parbat – the ninth highest peak in the world – and the unclimbed G7. A mountaineer and skier, he intended to climb both peaks and then make the full descent on his skis. The ascension of the Nanga Parbat went just as planned, but the second expedition turned into a nightmare. For a mountaineer, climbing the Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest peak in the world, is one of the highest possible achievements. For a skier, skiing back down is the most extreme adventure of all. For Cala Cimenti, a mountaineer and skier, the Nanga Parbat was all this and much, much more. The killer mountain, as it was called because of the number of daredevils who had died in trying to conquer it, had become his forbidden dream. Along with the Gasherbrum VII. Conquering the still unclimbed mountain known as G7 would not only offer him the chance for a unique record, but also an immaculate skiing slope. So Cala decided to set off on this double undertaking along with a friend, Francesco Cassardo. Little did he know the trials the ruthless mountain would put him through, or the hell waiting for him at the top. Due to a ruinous fall Francesco will risk a slow, painful death. While rescue teams struggle to arrive, it will be up to Cala’s sangefroid and to the help of his wife from Italy to save the life of his friend. Carlarberto Cala Cimenti practices rock climbing and skiing in extreme conditions. With a passion for sports and travel, he began tackling the highest peaks as a kid, starting with Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso. After conquering the summits of Cho Oyu (8.201 m.) and Manaslu (8.163 m.), he decided he would from then on make all his descents on his skis. It is one of the reasons for his recognition as Snow Leopard – the only Italian climber to have earned the acknowledgement so far. Cala Cimenti has also been the first ever mountaineer to both climb the Gasherbrum VII and to complete the descent on his skis. Spring 2020 Fiction and Non Fiction rights list 21 NON FICTION THE LESSONS MOUNTAINS CAN TEACH US ALL THE SECRETS TO ALWAYS REACH THE TOP MARCO CONFORTOLA Imprint: Sperling & Kupfer Pages: 200 Publication: March 2020 Clarity, resilience, cooperation – the same skills that can save us in extreme circumstances can inspire us in our everyday life. From a great Italian mountaineer a practical and effective guide to be at our very best in any situation. When climbing the mind is always focused, endlessly calculating options and consequences, and the heart remains silent to make way for accurate and objective assessments – for even the smallest error can put your life and the life of others at risk. When survival is a matter of will, the mind becomes sharper and knows best. Marco Confortola, the «8.000 meter peaks hunter», knows this all too well. After surviving a dramatic accident in 2008 he took up climbing again and is now an expert in Alpine rescues in extreme conditions. His unique analysis and reaction skills have also proven invaluable in many everyday settings, whether personal or professional. In this book he shares his experience and the lessons climbing has taught him. How do you keep yourself cool at times of tension? How do you assess priorities? How do you manage a team? Because the «lessons the mountains teach us» are universal guidelines that can change the life of each and every one of us. Marco Confortola is one of the best rock climbers in the world and a top expert in Alpine rescue. In 2008, exposure on K2 caused him to undergo the amputation of all his toes. Overcoming the impairment, Marco went back to climbing at the highest levels. Besides his mountaineering activities he also teaches workshops for major companies and institutions. Spring 2020 Fiction and Non Fiction rights list 22 NON FICTION LIMITS ARE JUST AN OPINION UMBERTO PELIZZARI Imprint: Sperling & Kupfer Pages: 200 Publication: April 2020 Based on the experience of one of the top freedivers in the world, a book teaching us to overcome our personal limits and to face life’s challenges. “Scubadivers dive to look around them. Freedivers to look inside themselves.” UMBERTO PELIZZARI What can freediving teach us? What can we learn from the experience of a man who chose to challenge the laws of nature to discover how far he could go? One of the concepts Umberto Pelizzari is most fond of repeating is as follows: “Scubadivers dive to look around them. Freedivers to look inside themselves.” And in the course of his long career (a succession of records and unique achievements) he has learned that freediving puts you face to face with your limits and fears, but also allows you to tap unexpected personal resources, finding the strengths you need to reach your goal. In his book, beginning with his extraordinary experience as an athlete, Umberto Pelizzari uses the inspiration of freediving to also speak of many aspects of ordinary life. For just like the body of a freediver adapting to external conditions to tolerate the pressure, in same way we can find the resources we need to face everyday challenges.

  • An Unknown Bluefin Tuna Fishery and Industry in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) in the Early Xx Century: the Florio Entreprise
    SCRS/2014/050 Collect. Vol. Sci. Pap. ICCAT, 71(3): 1152-1173 (2015) AN UNKNOWN BLUEFIN TUNA FISHERY AND INDUSTRY IN TENERIFE (CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN) IN THE EARLY XX CENTURY: THE FLORIO ENTREPRISE Antonio Di Natale1 SUMMARY Intensive bluefin tuna (and other tunas) fishing was carried out in the 1920s on the island of Tenerife by the most important Italian industrial group at that time, the “F.lli I. & V. Florio”. Information on this activity is however extremely poor and it was necessary to carry out a very difficult and intensive investigation to recover at least the essential basic data. The fishing was carried out only for about a decade by local vessels, providing high catches at least in some years. At the same time, the Florios established a canning and salting factory in southwestern Tenerife, which was closed after a short time due to financial problems. This paper presents the available information on this activity, which was completely unknown to fishery science up to now and which is another missing piece of the big puzzle of the bluefin tuna natural history. This fishery also allows us to speculate about a possible sub-population of bluefin tuna close to the Ibero-Moroccan area. RÉSUMÉ La pêche intensive du thon rouge (et d'autres thonidés) a été réalisée dans les années 20 sur l'île de Tenerife par le plus important groupe industriel italien à cette époque, le « F.lli I. & V. Florio ». Les informations sur cette activité sont toutefois extrêmement rares et il s'est avéré nécessaire de mener une enquête très difficile et intensive afin de récupérer au moins les données de base essentielles.

  • The Main Geomorphosites of the Egadi Islands (Sicily, Italy)
    Il Quaternario Italian Journal of Quaternary Sciences 18(1), 2005 - Volume Speciale, 137-143 THE MAIN GEOMORPHOSITES OF THE EGADI ISLANDS (SICILY, ITALY) Raniero Massoli-Novelli Via della Mendola, 85 00135 Roma, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: R. Massoli-Novelli, The main geomorphosites of the Egadi Islands (Sicily, Italy). (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). This article describes the main geological and geomorphological features of the three main Egadi Islands: Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo. These islands, which are essentially made up of Mesozoic carbonate rocks, are considered as the continuation in the sea of the north-western Sicilian chain. In addition, the main geomorphosites of these three islands are identified for the first time: these are the numerous, significant coastal caves. Particular emphasis is given to natural and anthropogenetic geomorphosites related to the Pleistocene bioclastic calcarenite caves present in Favignana, an ancient site of intense quarrying activities. RIASSUNTO: R. Massoli-Novelli, I principali geomorfositi delle Isole Egadi (Sicilia, Italia). (IT ISSN 0394-3356, 2005). Vengono evidenziate le principali caratteristiche geologiche e geomorfologiche delle tre maggiori isole delle Egadi, Favignana, Levanzo e Marettimo, costituite essenzialmente da rocce carbonatiche mesozoiche e considerate la prosecuzione in mare verso ovest della catena nordoccidentale della Sicilia. Vengono poi individuati per la prima volta i principali geomorfositi delle tre isole, in gran parte costituiti dalle numerose e rilevanti grotte costiere. Particolare risalto viene anche dato ai geomorfositi, naturali ed antropici, relativi alle cave di calcareniti bioclastiche pleistoce- niche esistenti a Favignana, luogo di antica ed intensa attività estrattiva. Keywords: Geomorphosites, Calcarenite, Egadi Islands, Italy. Parole chiave: Geomorfositi, Calcarenite, Egadi, Italia.

  • The Palermo Crucible
    chapter 1 The Palermo Crucible The Piazza Marina is situated behind a row of antique palazzi facing the gulf in Palermo’s historic center. In the middle is an acre of garden called the Villa Garibaldi, which is surrounded by a handsome Art Nouveau, wrought iron fence depicting animals of the hunt. A gigantic Ficus mag- noloides tree dominates one quadrant of the garden, each enormous branch sending shoots to the ground like elephants’ trunks, creating a labyrinth of arched chambers underneath. The Piazza Marina was the center of elegance in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Palermo. Here men and women of baronial and princely pedigree gathered nightly, clothes and carriages on display, to eat jasmine petal ices and gossip (Eberstadt 1991: 48). After the unification of Italy in 1860, how- ever, the city’s northward expansion diminished the importance of this luxurious scene, creating new piazzas and boulevards as places for the elite to be seen. That the Piazza Marina was the scene of the 1909 mur- der of New York City police officer Joe Petrosino, sent to Palermo to pursue mafiosi, did nothing to enhance its reputation. Near the end of World War II, Allied bombers destroyed many of the waterfront palazzi, and by the mid-1960s the Piazza Marina was some- where to avoid, a place where you had to step over garbage, be vigilant against pickpockets and purse snatchers, and wonder whether the mag- nolia tree, abandoned to the surrounding patch of weeds, hid something sinister in its gothic roots. In a 1991 New Yorker article describing the neighborhood around the piazza, Fernanda Eberstadt vividly captured 1 2 The Palermo Crucible its degraded yet vibrant quality: “a row of bombed out buildings inhab- ited by cavernous little bodegas outfitted with altars to the Madonna and posters of local football stars; and a fishmonger’s outdoor stall, auto re- pair shops, and a stand selling semenza (lentils and seeds) served in brown paper cones.” Her hosts warned her about being robbed on the streets.

  • Villa Florio from Favignana Island: Architectonic and Functonal History
    Review of Historical Geography and Toponomastics, vol. VII, no. 13-14, 2012, pp. 89-112 VILLA FLORIO FROM FAVIGNANA ISLAND: ARCHITECTONIC AND FUNCTONAL HISTORY Grazia VECCHIO* * Doctor in Philosophy of Geography and Lecturer, University of Catania, Faculty of Literature and Philosophy, Department of Humanistic Sciences, Monastero dei Benedettini, No. 32, 95124, Catania, Italy email: [email protected] Abstract: Villa Florio from Favignana island: architectonic and functional history. The far Sicilian West which, besides the Egadi islands, includes the area between Marsala and Trapani is characterized by a specific landscape and socio-economic unity. In this context, the island of Favignana may be considered as the last vertex of a hypothetical economic-industrial triangle (Palermo – Marsala/Trapani – Favignana) characterized by a whole series of activities referable to the bourgeois house of Florio, one of the most powerful in Sicily from the second half of 19th century to the first decades of 20th. In the area under examination it is in Favignana that, after having bought the Egadi in 1874, they had Villa Florio built by G. Damiani Almeyda. At the same time this was intended to be an official country house and link with their tuna fisheries which were then the first industry in the Mediterranean and now significant testimony of industrial archaeology. Starting from the architectonic and functional history of the Villa and tuna fisheries and passing to an analysis which through the Florio family events, connected to those of some great English entrepreneurs, outlines their ascent and decline, in this paper we aim at reconstructing the interconnection between the Florio enterprises and the history of the aforesaid territory in relation to that of Sicily.

  • 101 100 the Wanderings of a Provincial Cosmopolite
    The Wanderings of a Provincial Cosmopolite On September 23, 1943, official date of the creation of the Italian Social Republic, Salvatore Maraffa Abate wrote a distressed note to Fernando Mezzasoma, General Director of the Italian Press and newly appointed Minister of Popular Culture: Mio carissimo, tu mi conosci bene; puoi quindi immaginare la mia gioia: grande!!! Io sarò a giorni a Roma. Fra il 27 e il 28 ti vedrò! Ti abbraccerò! Io sono a terra!!! In modo angoscioso!!! Proprio ieri (ero a Roma) ho fatto istanza a Tosti (al Ministero) per un sussidio pronto immediato e adeguato!!… Ora ci sei tu e respiro e ringrazio Dio!! Ma vedi di chiamarmi alla tua segreteria! Ti prego! Ti prego! Aiutami!!! Ti abbraccio tuo aff.mo Maraffa Abate (Leodalba)1 Ten days later, on October 3, Maraffa received a thousand Lire.2 His anxious letter and subsequent payment signalled the end of a significant portion of the life of a minor intellectual3 of the Ventennio, an unusual player in the Fascist propaganda machine. The events that followed Mussolini’s arrest in July 1943 meant that Maraffa, along with other regime supporters, had to flee Rome and move to the north, to Venice, where he spent the rest of his long life until his death, in 1974, at the age of 98. Salvatore Maraffa Abate was a journalist, a poet, an entrepreneur, a publicist and sometime publisher.4 With a life that spanned a century of momentous Italian history, and armed with an aristocratic pedigree, he managed to survive and adapt to different situations and political settings: from his early carefree years in the elegant Palermo of the Belle Époque, through two world wars, fascism and, finally, republican Italy.

  • The Rise and Fall of Casa Florio
    Discerning the inertial effects of current decisions on long-term performance in family firms: the rise and fall of Casa Florio * ** Carmine Bianchi ( ), Enzo Bivona ( ) Key-words: learning, family firms, mental models, system dynamics, business culture. Abstract Investigating the rise and fall of a business is commonly viewed as a matter of searching single causes to be linked with corresponding effects. Such an atomistic and static picture of the driving forces of business success and decline often produces a superficial understanding of observed phenomena. This might be the case of Casa Florio, a family company successfully started in the beginning of the 800s. Within the space of two generations, it became a giant embracing different unrelated industries. The business success gradually gave rise to a strong image of Casa Florio in the Mediterranean area, which exponentially boosted entrepreneurial and political contacts and Florios’ quality of life. However, by the end of the 800s, in spite of the Florios’ rising financial and social performance both the firm and the family collapsed. To understand the structural causes of the business rise and fall, this paper adopts a feedback approach focused on the analysis of dynamic relationships between Casa Florio’s values and its local and extended environment’s culture. 1. Introduction In the beginning of the 800s, Paolo Florio – a humble merchant from Bagnara Calabra – moved to Palermo to start a trade venture. He decided to leave Calabria mainly in order to overcome financial difficulties caused by an earthquake in his region and to exploit personal contacts with other people from Bagnara, who had been settling in Sicily to establish new businesses.
