  • Pontine Islands
    Pontine islands Ponza Day One and Two: Ponza The Pontine islands have always been renowned for the beauty of their surrounding sea and sea-beds Ponza is the island's main settlement and requires a couple of days to be fully explored. It’s très chic, so be prepared to bump into football players and royals. It’s a labyrinth of orange-purple sea grottos, talcum powder- like beaches, white granite rocks and pirates caves where scuba divers still search for hidden treasures. Don’t miss the chance to take a trip to the wonderful ancient Roman sea caves commonly referred to as the Grotte di Pilato. The caves (four in all, connected by underwater tunnels) were hand-excavated by the Romans and used as a murenario (eel farm) in the 1st century A.D., when the emperor Augustus first built a villa on the hill above. Then, circumnavigate the island to discover all of its stunning bays, like Chiaia di Luna, Capo Bianco, Cala Feola etc. At sunset, pay a visit to the must-go aperitif at the Frontone, which is a rustic outdoor bar set up among the trees just behind the sand. In the evening, take a walk into town and stroll along the picturesque ancient Roman harbour made of colourful fishermen dwellings and prehistoric grottos turned into studios, and where evening drinks are served on rooftops. As for dinner, if you wish to get off your yacht, you can choose among many typical restaurants; we suggest you the Restaurants “Acquapazza” and “Chiaia di Luna” for a romantic poolside dinner.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

Data here presented were primarily obtained from the examina- tion of the material collected during a three-year (1965-1968) research program supported by the Italian National Council of Research and aimed at investigating Mediterranean small island faunas, including Oniscidea. Despite the sampling was not specifically directed at Oniscidea, these data may provide insights into the structure of the Oniscidean taxocenosis of the islands as it existed fifty years ago. Thirty-five species belonging to 11 families, 8 ecological and 7 biogeographical classes were found on these islands.

Roma si trova sulla sinistra dell’immagine. Si osservino i 16 centri abitati. Sono evidenziate in verde scuro le aree boscate ed in verde chiaro quelle con bassa densità arborea. Ben visibili i due laghi ed il terzo ormai svuotato. I confini del Parco, per motivi di solo interesse fondiario, non coincidono con l’area del vulcano. 2 a cura di Flavio Comandini IL PARCO DEI CASTELLI ROMANI 3 a cura di Flavio Comandini I vulcani che bordano il versante tirrenico della penisola italiana, dalla Toscana fino alla Campania, si sono formati nel corso della storia geologica più recente dell’area mediterranea. I VULCANI ITALIANI DEL MARGINE TIRRENICO 4 a cura di Flavio Comandini Tra 1 milione di anni fa e qualche migliaio di anni fa l’area medio tirrenica è stata interessata da varie fasi di vulcanesimo. L’ultimo apparato a terminare (forse!) la sua attività è quello del Vulcano Laziale. I DISTRETTI VULCANICI LAZIALI 5 a cura di Flavio Comandini Intorno a 30 milioni di anni fa, un piccolo continente, formato dai territori delle future isole di Corsica, Sardegna, Sicilia e parte della penisola italiana, staccandosi dal resto della zolla europea che ora corrisponde a Francia e Spagna, si spostava verso Est.

But then you’d be missing the flavor of Rome, with all its messiness, beauty, and surprise. For a more authentic experience, plunk down in one of Rome’s less-frequented neighborhoods and savor the local culture, and then venture out from there. https://www.vogue.com/article/rome-tourist-free-neighborhood-guide-monti-testaccio 1/5 8/1/2018 Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue A street in Monti rione in Rome f i Photo: Alamy MontiTucked in the hills above the Forum, Monti is one of Rome’s oldest and most colorful neighborhoods. And most importantly, still largely free of tourists. Centuries ago, this working-class enclave—one of Rome’s 22 neighborhoods, or rioni, was notorious for its brothels and shady characters. Today its pretty cobblestone streets are packed with young people in jeans, old men in suits, vendors selling flowers, and families who’ve lived in Monti for generations. Monti is so lovely, with its jasmine-draped, gold and apricot apartment buildings, that Woody Allen apparently filmed on a corner of Via Baccina.
