  • Workshops of Apulian
    - . WORKSHOPSOF APULIAN RED-FIGURE OUTSIDE TARANTO E. G. D. Robinson The publication of The Red-figured Vasesof Apulia brought, for the first time, structure to a massive body of information. The classification of thousands of vases, on the basis of style, has opened the way to other kinds of studies. One such study is offered here with gratitude to Alexander Cambitoglou from a colleague and former pupil. Since the beginning of the study of Apulian red-figured vases, there has been controversy over the localization of its workshops.l It is now accepted that Apulian red-figured vases were first made in Taranto; only late in the series are Apulian workshops outside Taranto postulated. It is widely recognized that one important late group, comprising the Baltimore Painter, Arpi Painter, White SaccosPainter and others, worked in Canosa or somewhere close by.2 Other painters, outside this broad stylistic grouping, may be strongly associatedwith one site, like the Laterza Painter with Salapia and the Lampas Painter with Canosa.3Caution should be exercised if, as in these two cases, a large proportion of the vases with proveniences come from one tomb.4 The acquisition of large groups of vases by one painter, who need not have been working locally, for placementin a tomb is commonin the later 4th cent. BC. The presencein : Rutigliano (1976) Tomb 24 of seven vases by the Painter of the Berlin Dancing Girl i shows that the phenomenon exists right from the beginning of the Apulian series.s The present study aims to use the stylistic groups and proveniences published in RVAp for a simple statistical survey.6 It will firstly look at the proveniences of vases in Late Apulian red-figure, to examine the possible localization of workshops in northern Apulia.

  • The GIS Application to the Spatial Data Organization of the Necropolis of Poseidonia-Paestum (Salerno, Italy)
    The GIS Application to the Spatial Data Organization of the Necropolis of Poseidonia-Paestum (Salerno, Italy) A. SANTORIELLO', F. U. SCELZA', R. GALLOTTP, R. BOVE\ L. SIRANGELO', A. PONTRANDOLFO' ' University of Salemo, Department of Cultural Heritage, Laboratory of Archaeology "M. Napoli", Italy ' CRdC "Innova", Department of Cultural Heritage, University of Salemo, Italy ' Independent Software Developer ABSTRACT This paper concerns about the spatial organization and the thematic management of the Poseidonia and Paestum's urban funeral areas. The wide archaeological heritage, investigated since the beginning of XIX century, had been studied using different research methodologies. These studies led to several inhomogeneous documents. First of all, we have to notice the absence of a general topographical map concerning the exact localization of each grave. In front of this scenario, the aim for the researcher consisted in the documentary source's collection and the integration in order to construct an unique cartographical base to use as a corner stone for the Paestum 's plain. This base has been realized through the acquisition of multi-temporal and multi- scalar supports. These different data have been organized within a Geographical Information System, according to the same cartographical projection system. The burial ground's geo-localisation has been realized through survey control operations, carried out by a satellite positioning system (GPS- Glonass) with subcentrimetrical resolution. The second phase of the research aimed to the database construction in order to collect analytical records, relevant to each tomb, and to link the archaeological data to the geographical entities previously created. The target was to create an informative layer, selective and comprehensive at the same time, able to process specific thematic questions, analysis of singular funerary context and comparative examination of the entire necropolis.

  • 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.

  • 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.

We will be based in Sorrento on the Amalfi coast for the first three nights, where we will visit the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone.

Finally a day of art and archaeological treasures as we tour the hot-blooded city of Naples, rich with the aroma of Neapolitan cuisine.

  • Iconography of the Gorgons on Temple Decoration in Sicily and Western Greece
    ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE By Katrina Marie Heller Submitted to the Faculty of The Archaeological Studies Program Department of Sociology and Archaeology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2010 Copyright 2010 by Katrina Marie Heller All Rights Reserved ii ICONOGRAPHY OF THE GORGONS ON TEMPLE DECORATION IN SICILY AND WESTERN GREECE Katrina Marie Heller, B.S. University of Wisconsin - La Crosse, 2010 This paper provides a concise analysis of the Gorgon image as it has been featured on temples throughout the Greek world. The Gorgons, also known as Medusa and her two sisters, were common decorative motifs on temples beginning in the eighth century B.C. and reaching their peak of popularity in the sixth century B.C. Their image has been found to decorate various parts of the temple across Sicily, Southern Italy, Crete, and the Greek mainland. By analyzing the city in which the image was found, where on the temple the Gorgon was depicted, as well as stylistic variations, significant differences in these images were identified. While many of the Gorgon icons were used simply as decoration, others, such as those used as antefixes or in pediments may have been utilized as apotropaic devices to ward off evil. iii Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my family and friends for all of their encouragement throughout this project. A special thanks to my parents, Kathy and Gary Heller, who constantly support me in all I do. I need to thank Dr Jim Theler and Dr Christine Hippert for all of the assistance they have provided over the past year, not only for this project but also for their help and interest in my academic future.
