    Icaro: to Be Fooled by the Beauty of Your Dreams

    Reckless Wines from Rome “We fell in love with a vineyard, so beautiful to make us reckless” And so, without reasoning, we embraced a journey that led us to challenge some rules, get rid of a some fears and take back some beauty. Near Rome, in the Roman Castles area, we discover volcanic lands, boldly suited for the vineyard and yet voiceless. We focus on the grapes of a single vineyard near Velletri, surrounded by a 250 hectares natural monument of wild forest, huge oaks, maples and cyclamen. Nero Buono, Malvasia, Trebbiano and a bit of Moscato. Organic vineyard with the use only of copper and sulfur. Looking west you can spy the sea and in the windy days you can feel the salt. Egidio and Paola are the two owners and farmers. They take care of the land, the vineyard and the fruit-trees, all alone. We help them, observing and studying each movement. We work together, we feel good. We take courage. I CA RO “I Castelli Romani” Our ambitions are all in this land. We want to take back the grapes and the wines. Give them new life, new vitality, new expression. Give rise to a renaissance of the Roman Castles. In the wine-house, in Genzano, it is only spontaneous fermentation. Zero or very little So2, no filtration, no control of temperatures. No enologist or long experience yet with clear ideas and the will to make an expressive, natural, popolar, anti- elite wine for the people. Four fellows from Rome, two elderly farmers and the dream to start a revolution in the Roman Castles.

It currently accounts for I55% of the world’s vine-growing areas, 60% of wine production and 70% of exports. In this very special sector of agriculture, technology and science play fundamental roles in all phases of activity, from the start of the vine-growing season, through the ripening of the grapes, to the bottling of the wine. The quality of the wine produced depends on many parameters, including the soil characteristics in the area, the weather and growth conditions during the season, the ability to monitor and control vine diseases, the degree of maturity of the grapes at harvest time, their grade, colour, organic acids, etc. during fermentation and, finally, the wine production techniques employed. In general, however, European vineyard managers still have little access to technical means or reliable systems to guide them in their decision-making. Precision Farming in the Frascati area Space technologies, particularly those associated with Earth Observation (EO), can help the wine-growing community in a number of technical areas. One of several initiatives promoting the use of EO in the wine sector has been ‘Bacchus’, a Research and ESA/ESRIN lies in the middle of the Frascati DOC wine-growing Technological Development project started in 2003 (to be completed in 2005), funded by region, southeast of Rome.

    Tharros – Capo San Marco in the Phoenician and Punic Age

    Archeologia e Calcolatori 28.2, 2017, 321-331 THARROS – CAPO SAN MARCO IN THE PHOENICIAN AND PUNIC AGE. GEOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND VIRTUAL REBUILDING The Phoenician and Punic colony of Tharros in the Gulf of Oristano, in the mid-west of Sardinia, is distinguished by an archaic phase dating back to the beginning of the 7th century BC; it is documented by the tofet findings, on the hill of Murru Mannu, and by the incineration and inhumation tombs located in the cemeterial areas in Capo San Marco, to the S, and in the vil- lage of San Giovanni di Sinis to the N. The period of maximum development and monumentalization was during the 6th century BC, when Tharros was probably the Qarthadasht of Sardinia, the administrative capital of Carthage (Fariselli in press). A few sacred public buildings in the city center and multiple hypogeal funerary structures date back to the Punic phase, which is, therefore, only partially known for the site. The archaeological evidence in the urban area intra muros mainly refers to the Roman and early medieval periods. The city was definitively abandoned around the year 1000 AD due to likely geomorphological problems still to be fully defined, maybe land or mudslides towards the gulf. The Saracens’ incursions could also be one of the reasons of the progressive depopulation in favor of the more protected hinterland (Del Vais 2015, 44). The systematic spoliation of the city’s buildings, used as a quarry for a long time, make the reconstruction of the population and frequentation’s phases very complex. The Chair for Phoenician-Punic Archaeology at the University of Bolo- gna, under my own direction, has resumed investigations on the field since 2012.

    EUROPE ITALY GENZANO DI ROMA LAZIO The “Castelli Romani” (Roman Castles) are a group of towns in the province of Rome. The area of the “Castelli” occupies a volcanic and fertile area characterized by ancient settlements and flourishing agriculture. The old crater is now occupied by two lakes, Lake Nemi and Lake Albano. The recent name Roman Castles derives from the villages built around some villas and palaces where rich noble families spent the summer. The “Castelli Romani” are: •Albano Laziale •Ariccia •Castel Gandolfo •Colonna •Frascati •Genzano di Roma •Grottaferrata •Lanuvio •Lariano •Marino •Monte Compatri •Monte Porzio Catone •Nemi •Rocca di Papa •Rocca Priora •Velletri EVENTS “CASTELLI ROMANI” PARK HISTORICAL GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION INFORMATION UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL: LICEO SCIENTIFICO “GIOVANNI VAILATI” ““CASTELLICASTELLI ROMANIROMANI”” REGIONALREGIONAL PARKPARK Genzano and its surroundings are included in the area of the “Castelli Romani” Regional Park .

    Fl. Medit. 27: 137-150 doi: 10.7320/FlMedit27.137 Version of Record published online on 13 September 2017 Michele Aleffi Contribution to the knowledge of the Bryophyte Flora of the Vatican City State: The Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Rome, Italy) Abstract Aleffi, M.: Contribution to the knowledge of the Bryophyte Flora of the Vatican City State: The Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Rome, Italy). — Fl. Medit. 27: 137-150. 2017. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. For the first time, the bryoflora of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Vatican City State) has been studied. Research led to the identification of 87 bryophytes (1 hornworts, 15 liver- worts and 71 mosses), among which one liverwort and six moss species are new reports for the Lazio Region. Zygodon forsteri, epiphyte species considered Vulnerable in Europe, Anthoceros agrestis and other species rare for Italy, were found in the study area. In addition, the life-form of each species was taken into consideration, in order to compare with the ecological and cli- matic characteristics of the territory examined. The study contributes to the knowledge of a ter- ritory of the Vatican City State that until now had been almost unexplored from the bryological point of view and provides important information for the realization and definition of the European and Mediterranean Red List of Bryophytes. Key words: Bryophytes, Anthoceros agrestis, Zygodon forsteri, Life-forms, Lazio Region. Introduction This work, conducted in the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, completes the research car- ried out on the bryological flora of the Vatican Gardens (Aleffi 2015), providing more detailed information for the production of the Check-List and country status of European Bryophytes.
