The park is the source of many wonderful food products, such as a cheese called the Madonie Provola, a unique bean called the fasola badda (badda bean), and manna, a natural sweetener that is extracted from ash trees. The diversity from the sea to the mountains and the culture of a unique city, Palermo, contribute to a synthesis of the products and the history, of sweet and savoury, of noble and peasant.

A Fam Trip to Southern Italy
During the second half of March 2010 we organised, together with the T.O. Media Tours from Zurich, an important event: A fam trip to Southern Italy 40 participants on behalf of the most important bus companies in Switzerland: a journey through 6 beautiful regions, visiting marvellous and dreamlike places like the Amalfi coast and Paestum, the national park of Cilento (pure nature), the Costa Viola (known for the colour of its waters), Taormina and the coast of Cyclops, Piazza Armerina and Palermo. The trip continued to Liguria where the visit of Genoa was planned; then, to bring the journey to a worthy end, they enjoyed an aperitif while travelling around the Borromee islands. The package price included 3 overnight stays in a 4* hotel, 4 rich lunches, an enlarged aperitif, a typical Sicilian breakfast, two boat trips with aperitif on board, one night ferry from Palermo to Genoa and guided tours of Paestum, Taormina, Catania, Palermo and Genoa. All this was concentrated into a short but intensive programme of 5 days. Thanks to this, the participants were able to admire the beautiful landscapes with breathtaking sections: starting from the southern Apennines to the Calabrian coast with its iridescent colours and then reaching the Peloritani mountains at the Cape of Taormina. A jump back in time where they visited the ageless city of Palermo, then passing northwards through the Tyrrhenian sea reaching the Liguria gulf with the large city of Genoa. The very last stage on Lake Maggiore successfully completed the journey, delighting the guests with a special lunch prepared with typical products.

Historical View of the Damage Caused by the 1693 Catania Earthquake and the Reconstruction Activities
Disaster Management and Human Health Risk 323 Historical view of the damage caused by the 1693 Catania earthquake and the reconstruction activities D. Ligresti1 & S. Grasso2 1Department of Political Studies, University of Catania, Italy 2Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Catania, Italy Abstract Eastern Sicily (Italy) is one of the areas at highest seismic risk in Europe, and its long history (2700 years from the Greek settlements to the present) enables scientists to access a vast amount of data related to geophysical and geotechnical characteristics, both complex and diverse relationships that are established over time between the disaster and the human communities that will suffer. The recognition of change, or the lack of change, that repeated catastrophic events in an area makes to the culture (science, technical, religious, administrative) and the attitudes of groups of people who remain, are the basic elements for building a complex model to understand the catastrophic phenomenon, which combine different disciplines and specializations, in order to compare experiences in different areas and at different times. The methodological problem, of which scientists who collaborate on the study of disasters have long been aware, is to connect the earthquake with the historical and anthropological understanding of the earthquake, to develop a “culture of earthquakes” that operates in the direction of the scientific organization of cities and housing in seismic features. The aim of this paper is to highlight some of these “elements” through the observation of historical earthquakes in south-eastern Sicily, and particularly in Catania during the catastrophic events of 9 and 11 January 1693, with the goal of providing a key to the cultural and social situations that are also present.

Master Thesis M.Bratell Final Post Exam Edits
The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily Michael Bratell Department of Historical Studies University of Gothenburg Master’s thesis in Archaeology Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Tove Hjørungdal The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily Abstract Bratell, M. 2020. The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily. Essay in Archaeology, 30 higher educational credits. Department of Historical Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. This study examines Greek colonisation’s potential for archaeology in relation to Coda Volpe district on eastern Sicily where necropoleis indicate the existence of unidentified both Greek and Roman settlements. Recent initial surveys near the Simeto delta suggests the location of a periphery, without any previous systematic study, prospecting or geophysical survey. As landscapes are discursively constructed along established theories, locating peripheries can yield new dimensions between material and landscape; i.e., topographical reconstruction, analysis of ancient sources and Archaic sites, and after comparison with recent studies such as for identifying poleis using an interdisciplinary, multi-scalar framework for studying living quarters and combining landscape archaeology with micro-archaeology to trace hybridities where biology, geology and geomorphology shape patterns of human activity. As archeologists interact with local culture a creolizerad archaeology has been suggested to help prevent ”simple” solutions to practical archaeological problems. Sicilian Archaeology ’began’ with Paolo Orsi, on Etna’s slopes, in the central mountains and on the coasts. This narrative is broadened by inclusion of a periphery in Coda Volpe, with a re-evaluation of Orsi’s contemporary Carmelo Sciuto Patti’s interpretation on the possible location of Symaetus.
