Amalfi Coast Itinerary – Naples Naples AMALFI COAST Itinerary | Naples - Naples NAPLES REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – NAPLES NAPLES In the shadow of mighty Mount Vesuvius, Naples is one of Italy’s most interesting and enigmatic cities. Its long history is showcased in its ancient architecture, where walks around the old city reveal the Duomo di San Gennaro cathedral, as well as two royal palaces and three castles. Yet Naples’ modern side is just as appealing. It is a high energy city, where the food is simply sublime, and the views across the Bay of Naples and towards Vesuvius are just as impressive. Naples is often a jumping off point to superyacht charters on the Amalfi Coast, but a stay here a few days and you won’t regret it. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – NAPLES ISCHIA REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – ISCHIA ISCHIA Little houses cling to the cliffs in Ischia, where deep, clear waters kiss golden beaches and tiny fishing ports. This island in the Gulf of Naples is the perfect day trip, famed for its mineral-rich thermal waters which bubble up as hot springs. Ischia promises Mediterranean perfection, where medieval castles, long fishing traditions, vineyards and beaches await. The north-coast towns of Ischia Porto, Ischia Ponte, Forio and Lacco Ameno offer delightful restaurants and chic bars, while those in search of solitude and unblemished beauty can cruise along the south coast to discover pretty coves and beaches. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – ISCHIA PONZA REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – PONZA PONZA Ponza might be the largest of the Pontine Islands, a little archipelago a short cruise south of Rome, but at five-and-a-half-miles long it is still a mere fleck of craggy rock poking above the cat’s-eye green water. In the main town of the same name, pastel-hued houses lead away from the tiny fishing harbour, and a maze of alleys hide quaint yet upmarket trattorias and cafés. Ponza is a destination for those-in-the-know Romans and under-the-radar celebrities, who come to escape the summer hubbub and while away days in the sunshine or exploring the sea carved grottoes of the craggy coastline. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – PONZA CAPRI REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – CAPRI CAPRI Travel across the Gulf of Naples to explore the isle of Capri. Charming and encapsulating from the second you step ashore, this island might be small but it certainly has a lot to offer! Rugged terrain dotted with luxury boutiques, elegant cocktail bars, fantastic restaurants and stunning viewpoints mean this island is a burst of colour and twinkling lights. Visit the ancient Blue Grotto and discover nature as you’ve never seen it before and then head to the Punta Carena lighthouse to watch the sun set, where there is nothing but beautiful Tyrrhenian Sea spanning before you. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – CAPRI AMALFI REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – AMALFI AMALFI Diminutive Amalfi, the namesake of this glorious coastline, proves that good things come in tiny packages. While it is possible to walk from one end to the other in 20 minutes, and the beach is a mere sliver of deliciously warm sand, Amalfi has charm in abundance. Its sun-soaked piazzas are the beating heart of the town, where people-watching, sipping cocktails and watching the world go by are about as raucous as it gets. Upmarket and graceful, yet charmingly traditional too, Amalfi’s white buildings tumble down the cliffs to meet the sea. Anchor off the coast and you’ll be rewarded with truly unforgettable views. REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – AMALFI POSITANO REMARKABLE EXPERIENCES | AMALFI COAST ITINERARY – POSITANO POSITANO Chic, sophisticated Positano is the poster-child of the Amalfi Coast. Beautifully rustic buildings in a rainbow of sun-bleached colors adorn the cliffs, where trendy boutiques uphold the town’s fashionista legacy – Moda Positano emerged here in the 1950s. There is a delightfully upmarket southern holiday vibe, and the restaurants, cafés and wisteria-covered hotels bustle all summer long. Four pebble beaches flank pretty Positano, and just offshore the Li Galli archipelago’s three islands offer picturesque scenery and seclusion. Hop in a tender or spend the day gliding along the coast by kayak.

  • The Genoese Annals of Ottobuono Scriba, 1191, 1194
    1 The Genoese Annals of Ottobuono Scriba The Genoese annals were begun in 1100 by Caffaro di Rustico, then a young man of twenty who went on to have a distinguished career in the government of the city of Genoa. Caffaro continued his annals into old age, only laying down his pen in 1163. Some years earlier, in 1152, he had formerly presented his work to the consuls and commune of the city, who had a copy made and kept in the city archives. After his death his ‘annals’ were continued by others as the official history of the city of Genoa, down until 1294. The notary Ottobuono ws the second continuator after Caffaro, and wrote the section from 1174 until 1196, although he only began writing in 1189, and his account of the previous fifteen years was written retrospectively. He was however an eyewitness of the events of the 1190s, and his first-hand account reveals the anger of the Genoese at the failure of Henry VI to fulfil the promises that he made to the city in return for its naval aid, as well as the problems posed to the imperial expeditions by the continued rivalry of the Genoese and Pisans. These extracts have been translated by G.A. Loud from the Annales Ianuenses Otoboni Scribae, in Annali Genovesi di Caffaro e de' suoi continuatori, ii, ed. L.T. Belgrano and C. Imperiale di Sant'Angelo (Fonti per la storia d'Italia 1902), pp. 38-41, 45- 53. [1191] Let it be known to both those of the present day and those who come after in future that King Henry, son of the late Emperor Frederick, whom afterwards Pope Celestine III crowned as emperor, sent his envoys and a letter to the aforesaid lord Manegold the Podestà and the commune of Genoa, asking that the commune of Genoa grant him help to acquire and obtain the kingdom of Sicily, and prepare a fleet and army [expeditio] for him.

  • GENERAL DESCRIPTION of the MITHRAEUM at PONZA In
    CHAPTER ONE GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MITHRAEUM AT PONZA In 1950 Father L. M. Dies 1 published a little guide to the isle ofPonza. This island, known as Pontiae 2 in Antiquity, is situated in the Tyrrhenean Sea opposite Terracina. Like Monte Circeo,3 Gaeta and especially Sper­ longa,4 Ponza "the pearl of Rome" has in the past century been connected with the wanderings of Odysseus, the most famous of heroes. Hence the comparison of Ponza "I'isola lunata, isoletta graziossissima" where "la donna e evoluta, distinta, agiata, sensibiIe al bello, che in lei si trans­ fonde dal mare, del cielo, dal panorama luminoso che la circonda" and where the full-bodied wines are the "buoni testimoni delle segrete forze del suolo e degli aromi delle nostre marine" 6 with the isle where the sorceress Circe lived which was described by the poet (Od., IC 195) as : ... , I I " ',L' V7JUOV, T7JV 1TEP& 1TOVTOS a1TE'p&TOS EO'TE't'aVWTa&.

  • Preliminary Assessment of Wave Energy Use in an Off-Grid Minor Island Desalination Plant
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 82 ( 2015 ) 789 – 796 ATI 2015 - 70th Conference of the ATI Engineering Association Preliminary assessment of wave energy use in an off-grid minor island desalination plant Alessandro Corsinia,b, Eileen Tortorab,*, Ennio Cimac aDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Sapienza University of Roma, via Eudossiana 18, 00184, Roma, Italy bFaculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, via Andrea Doria n.3, 04100 Latina, Italy cAcqua Latina spa, V.le Pier Luigi Nervi C.C. Latinafiori T10, 04100, Latina, Italy Abstract Small islands are often characterized by water availability problems becoming critical in summer time during the touristic season. The current water supply systems rely on the shipping of water from the mainland, with relevant fall backs in terms of water price and CO2 emissions. On the other hand the recur to local desalination raises the other issue in minor islands: energy supply. In this respect, the use of renewable energy appears to be the most natural option to the power mix pending the adequate consideration of the environmental constraints. In minor islands, the high environmental quality could often results in more severe landscape conservation rules as such introducing limitations to the most common renewable energy based installations. To this end, this paper discusses the use of near-shore wave energy technologies as a solution to cope with low impact energy generation to the water demand of a typical island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Ponza. The preliminary assessment focuses on the analysis of the impact on diesel fuel oil use and GHG emissions reduction.

  • Ida Fazio Women and Men in Illicit Trades Between the Kingdom Of
    Ida Fazio Women and men in illicit trades between the Kingdom of Sicily and the Kingdom of Naples during the commercial crisis of the Continental Blockade and the Napoleonic wars (Stromboli, 1808-1816) This paper focuses on men and women, given their position in the household economy, in their participation in illicit trade carried out on the small Sicilian island of Stromboli (one of the seven islands of the Aeolian Archipelago, which was part of the Kingdom of Sicily) during the years of the Napoleonic wars (1803-1815) and Continental Blockade (1806-1814). I will address some hypotheses on the impact that the ensuing international crisis in legal trade involving the warring European states in the Mediterranean had on the local economy, which combined fishing and agricultural activities on a family basis. The Blockade prohibited English ships from docking in French or allied ports, and vice versa, and trade between France and England and their respective allies was forbidden.1 This was a drastic blow to international trade2 and illicit trade developed in Europe in an attempt to circumvent the prohibitions.3 Illicit trade flourished also on Stromboli, and the island, due to its position on the border between the two fronts (the Kingdom of Sicily allied to England and the Kingdom of Naples under the domination of France), became a favored place for smuggling and illegal sale of privateer’s prize goods who, during the war, authorized by the states’ governments, attacked ships flying the enemy flag. The hypothesis here proposed is that the international trade crisis was an additional resource for Stromboli and its inhabitants (who had gradually populated the island just during the previous century) as it was a chance to integrate itself into the network of maritime traffic that up until then had been dominated by the two biggest islands of the archipelago, Lipari and Salina.

  • Fisheries and Biodiversity
    First section Fisheries and biodiversity Photo from MiPAAF archive Chapter 2 Ecological aspects Italian seas and the subdivision of the Mediterranean Sea in GSA Considerations on data collection for the evaluation of living resources and the monitoring of fisheries on the fleets that operate in the Mediterranean Sea determined the subdivision of the latter in a series of reference areas for both management activities and scientific surveys. Such areas represent a compromise among legislative, geographic and environmental aspects. The Mediterranean Sea was subdivided in 30 sub-areas, named GSA (Geographic Sub Areas). The term “sub” refers to the fact that the Mediterranean Sea is one of the 60 Large Marine Ecosystems on the planet. Geographical Sub-Areas in the GFCM area were established amending the Resolution GFCM/31/2007/2, on the advise of the GFCM Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The 30 areas largely differ in size and characteristics. The geographic division of fisheries areas in the Mediterranean Sea is still evolving and is subject to periodical improvement by SAC. 1 Northern Alboran Sea 11.2 Sardinia (east) 22 Aegean Sea 2 Alboran Island 12 Northern Tunisia 23 Crete Island 3 Southern Alboran Sea 13 Gulf of Hammamet 24 North Levant 4 Algeria 14 Gulf of Gabes 25 Cyprus Island 5 Balearic Island 15 Malta Island 26 South Levant 6 Northern Spain 16 South of Sicily 27 Levant 7 Gulf of Lions 17 Northern Adriatic 28 Marmara Sea 8 Corsica Island 18 Southern Adriatic Sea 29 Black Sea 9 Ligurian and North Tyrrhenian Sea 19 Western Ionian Sea 30 Azov Sea 10 South Tyrrhenian Sea 20 Eastern Ionian Sea 11.1 Sardinia (west) 21 Southern Ionian Sea 17 2.1 Environmental characterisation of fishing areas 2.1.1 GSA 9 - Ligurian and Northern Tyrrhenian Seas Relini G., Sartor P., Reale B., Orsi Relini L., Mannini A., De Ranieri S., Ardizzone G.D., Belluscio A., Serena F.

  • 2017 Mediterranean Tour of Emotions
    2017 MEDITERRANEAN TOUR OF EMOTIONS The magic of Italy’s South Discover little-known places, share the authenticity of small fishing villages and their inhabitants, breathe in nature’s wild breezes, enjoy things you have never experienced before, savour Southern Italy’s recipes and ingredients, cherish the decidedly Mediterranean flavoured wines. These are the elements we wish our guests will treasure as they sail on Blue Deer along the Mediterranean coast of Italy. Our desire, and consequently the cruises we have chosen, revolve around enabling our guests to discover Italy from a different angle, seen from the sea. An Italy that is not overly touristy, on the contrary, places where time seems to stand still. Places where you still hear fisherman shouting in incomprehensible dialect, in the town square or down at the port, that their fresh fish has arrived. Places where you can still pick wild Indian fig directly off the cliffs, or where you can see to what length the Romans went to civilize their islands. Places where you can discover how to grow and gather capers, or how to grow a grape that produces no more than 2,000 bottles per year. Come share in the beauty of the world We want our guests to discover precisely all this through the cruises www.sanlorenzolodges.com listed below. We are of course willing to change our cruises for you. The routes are merely suggestions, based on our own personal experience in this marvellous paradisiacal corner of southern Italy, and also on the enthusiastic feedback of our guests who experienced these magical places during the previous two seasons.
