It is therefore a question of developing an "ecosystem" made up of hospitality, services, products, experiences, a “unicum” in which the global market can express great interest, increasingly adding to the paradigms of the past the new ones made possible by digitization.

  • Lake Water Quality for Human Use and Tourism in Central Italy (Rome)
    Water and Society IV 229 LAKE WATER QUALITY FOR HUMAN USE AND TOURISM IN CENTRAL ITALY (ROME) EDOARDO CALIZZA1, FEDERICO FIORENTINO1, GIULIO CAREDDU1, LORETO ROSSI1,2 & MARIA LETIZIA COSTANTINI1,2 1Department of Environmental Biology, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy 2 CoNISMa, Italy ABSTRACT The lakes in the Italian region of Lazio, and in particular Lake Bracciano, have suffered due to reduced rainfall during the most recent years (1264.8 mm in 2014 vs 308.4 mm in 2015 and 883.6 mm in 2016 in Lake Bracciano). Moreover, Lake Bracciano exhibits both a direct water withdrawal (as drinkable water for the city of Rome and several other towns), and an indirect one, by the groundwaters, for agriculture. The 1.5 m water reduction, never observed in the last two decades, bared over 10 m of the littoral zone with the consequent exposition of gravel shores, trashes and reduction of the bottom areas involved in the denitrification process. This condition poses a threat to the ecosystem and to the human profits in term of eutrophication, healthy water loss, ship handling difficulties, touristic boats included, and tourism decline. In a previous investigation, we sampled the epilithic algae in the littoral zone of Lake Bracciano and estimated their nitrogen isotopic signature (δ15N). We highlighted the presence of diffuse organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs not intercepted by the wastewater collection system. These inputs, in synergy with water-level reduction, are able to undermine the ecosystem structure and health. In this paper, we show the nitrogen isotopic signatures, and their sources, as euros gained by parking meters for non-residents.

You have in›uenced my diligence by your expressions of praise, both in your own name and in the names of your most learned friends (whom you also have in very large number). As a result, I feel that I am much more eager to pursue the investigation set forth on this subject; I would already have completed it had the abundance of waters from heaven not shown itself opposed to my own watery task. But you should not think that I have been completely idle: indeed, although I was not able to approach for a second time the sources of the Marcia and Claudia, at some distance from me, and not able therefore to follow up my ideas by surer rea- soning, not uselessly, perhaps, will I show you that I have been engaged in the more immediate neighborhood of that aqueduct introduced by Pope Sixtus and called the Acqua Felice from his own name before his ponti‹- 19 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B.

  • Etruria 2019 Brochure Needs
    Etruscan Places OF NORTHERN LAZIO AND UMBRIA Join us in Italy, October 21–28, 2019 Imagine a land of volcanic lakes, sandy beaches, rugged hills, thermal springs, Roman roads, and medieval hill towns. Its olive oil, chestnuts, hazelnuts, freshwater fish, black truffles, seafood, wild mushrooms, game, pork products, lamb, and sheep cheeses are among the best you’ll find anywhere in Italy. … www.elifanttours.com / [email protected] / +1-347-868-6345 Etruscan Places OF NORTHERN LAZIO AND Join us for an exciting tour to the Etruscan places just north of Rome. The tour covers the territory between Rome’s northern edge and Orvieto, just inside the Umbrian border, 75 miles to the north. It’s a sort of “flyover” country, ignored by tourists in their dash north to Tuscany. All the more reason to stop and explore this land of volcanic lakes, sandy beaches, rugged hills, thermal springs, Roman roads, and medieval hill towns. Its olive oil, chestnuts, hazelnuts, freshwater fish, mushrooms, game, pork products, lamb, and sheep cheeses rival any in Italy. Long before the Romans, sophisticated native peoples were living in cities and building extravagant cemeteries (“cities of the dead”). The best known and most influential were called Etruscans, but we’ll meet others too, such as the forgotten Faliscans. Our itinerary offers plenty of archaeo-culinary interest in both isolated (and very picturesque) sites and the medieval towns that inherited the ancient legacy. That legacy continues today, remarkably unspoiled. The tour covers the southern Etruscan territory In October, when we visit, the wild beauty of the natural landscape will be enhanced between Rome and the southern borders of Tuscany and Umbria.

  • ENG – Generalate News Update
    ATE FDNSC GENERALATE – NEWS UPDATE May 2016 From the desk of the Congregational Leader “The local community is the living expression of the Congregation.” (FDNSC Constitutions 40) Continue building life-giving communities - This is a recommendation of our 19th General Chapter. Here is the full text: In our desire to continue to build life-giving communities, we are called to say yes to Jesus, to positive thinking, joy and hope and no to negativity, pessimism and despondency. We appreciate the potential of technology and the communications media and seek opportunities to use these for evangelisation. We are grateful that they open the world to us and enable us to be in solidarity with all peoples, especially with our sisters and the members of the wider Chevalier Family. We reject the misuse of technology and recognise the detrimental impact that it can have on our persons and on our communities. “Let us not allow ourselves to be robbed of community!” (EG 92) Notice that it is within the context of community life and mission that we are invited to appreciate what technology offers us. In addition, we are strongly warned against the abuse and misuse of technology and how it can disconnect us from one another. We are living in a quickly changing society. Technology is changing faster than we can handle it, faster than we can explore opportunities for its use, and faster than we can calculate its risk and its detrimental influence on our lives, personally and as a community. It has been said that the world is becoming time-poor (as if there is not enough time for everything) and therefore we are becoming more impatient.

  • Littoral Trichoptera of Volcanic Lakes Vico and Bolsena (Central Italy)
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2004, 40 (3), 252-259 Littoral Trichoptera of volcanic lakes Vico and Bolsena (Central Italy) F. Cianficconi*, C. Corallini, F. Tucciarelli Dipartimento di Biologia Animale ed Ecologia, Università, Via Elce di Sotto, 06123 Perugia, Italy. The first list of Trichoptera from lakes Vico and Bolsena is reported. It is the result of research carried out in 1955 and 1971- 1979 in lake Vico, and in 1957 and 1959-1990 in lake Bolsena. The distribution of caddisflies around the littoral zone depends on the environmental characteristics of the microhabitats. Overall, 16 species from 7 families were collected, 8 of which were found in both lakes, whereas 5 were only collected in Lake Vico, and 3 only occurred in Lake Bolsena. Hydroptila aegyptia and Ecnomus tenellus were the most abundant species in Vico, Tinodes waeneri and T. maclachlani in Bolsena. The trophic catego- ries of the larvae and their gregarines were identified. Keywords : Trichoptera, checklist, ecology, zoogeography, trophic categories, gregarines.

  • Castelli Romani” (Roman Castles) Are a Group of Towns in the Province of Rome
    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 .
