Tuscany & Naples Tuscany & Naples With Creative Castle May 2 -16, 2013 (trip begins on May 2 so departure from the US is on May 1) Thursday, May 2: Participants arrive in Rome to be met by Maggie at our hotel in the Aventine Hills. The day is free to explore (or rest!) with suggestions from Maggie. Friday, May 3: After breakfast, our bus driver meets us for our trip to Tuscany. The drive is about 3 hours with a stop along the way. We arrive at our villa and settle into our rooms and Maggie will give an orientation to the trip. The villa is located on top of a hill with fantastic vistas near a small village outside of Florence and is renowned as a winery and producer of olive oil. There are lovely walks around the property and one path goes through the vineyards to the ruins of an Etruscan grave. We will have a wine tasting and tour some time during our stay. There is a welcome dinner for the group (included). Saturday, May 4: We are off to the town of Siena. I find this town fascinating. It is world famous for the Palio (horse race held in the Piazza). The Palio dates back to medieval times and it is much more than a horse race – it is a cultural phenomenon. We will have a film presentation of the Palio with guide and author Dario Castegno. He will then give us a tour – if possible – of his contrada. Afterwards we will have lunch at a local restaurant (included) and then you are free to explore this city and shop. We meet in the late afternoon and have dinner at the villa. Sunday, May 5: Workshop day. Today we begin our workshop. Maggie will design a project particularly for this trip. It is a full day with a break for lunch. Dinner and lunch are included. Monday, May 6: We are off again to Siena and will have a guided tour of the cathedral and other sites of the city. The floors of the cathedral are inlaid with marble with magnificent patterns and scenes from antiquity. Then it is off to the hillside town of San Gimignano to visit the sites and shop. We return to the villa for dinner (included). Tuesday, May 7: Today we are off to Florence with a guided tour in the morning of this beautiful Renaissance city. The tour will be about 3 hours and the rest of the day is free to explore and shop in this world‐renowned city. We return after dinner (on your own) to the villa. Wednesday, May 8: Another workshop day with a winetasting and tour in the afternoon. Lunch and dinner are included. Thursday, May 9: We head south to Napoli! The drive is about 4 hours and we arrive at Villa Giulia in the afternoon. Villa Giulia is a restored building from the 16th century with all the modern conveniences and surrounded by the most beautiful gardens. There is also a swimming pool for those interested in taking a refreshing swim. Dinner (included) is at the villa. Friday, May 10: This morning we head to downtown Napoli and meet our guide, Aldo Sparice. His knowledge and love for his city is incredible. He will take us to see some of the sites of this diverse city. Perhaps we will visit the underground sections of this city. Lunch (included) is at a local pizzeria. Napoli is the home of the original pizza created for the visit of Queen Margherita. In my opinion it is the best in the entire world. We return to the villa to relax before dinner – perhaps a little beading??? Saturday, May 11: We are off to the Amalfi Coast with Aldo. He will explain the history of this world‐renowned coastline. National Geographic lists it as one of the top 50 ultimate road trips. Photo opportunities abound and we stop for lunch in Priano at a family‐run restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean (included). We return to Villa Giulia for a light dinner (included). Sunday, May 12: After our visit to the coast of Campania, we will have a wine tasting in the countryside of Campania. The drive through the mountains is lovely and we stop at a local winery. Campania winemaking dates back to the 12th century BC. The area is known for its Taurasi wine and a few varieties of white wines. Lunch is at the winery (included). Monday, May 13: Today Aldo will take us to Villa Oplonti that belonged to the Poppea, the wife of Nero. It is perhaps my favorite archeological site in the region. Oplonti was excavated with modern techniques so the frescoes remain intact on the walls, mosaics with semi‐precious stones are still on the floor. Afterwards, we will visit the town of Herculaneum, also destroyed in 79 A.D. by the eruption of Vesuvius. We return to the villa to relax and have dinner (included) Tuesday, May 14: We will visit the town of San Leucio near Caserta. San Leucio was home to a Bourbon hunting palace and to a silk factory. Charles VII and his son Ferdinand created an industrial village for silk production – unusual for that time. The town has created silks for Buckingham Palace, the White House and many others. We will visit the palace that has now been turned into a museum documenting the production of silk. We return to Giulia’s for some beading time and dinner (included). Wednesday, May 15: We are off to one of the islands in the Bay of Naples – either Capri or Ischia to visit the sites and shop. Farewell dinner at Villa Giulia (included) May 16: Depart from Naples Airport. This is the day you fly home!!! Cost: 3700 Euro. Includes 13 dinners, 7 lunches, all breakfasts, lodging, tuition, private bus transfer, licensed guide tours, entry fees to sites on itinerary, tips. Not include: airfare, alcohol (except at Villa Giulia) .

Titomanlio a a Department of Architecture and Industrial Design, Second University of Naples, Aversa (CE), Italy ingrid.titomanlio @unina2.it KEY WORDS: Royal Palace in Caserta, stones cladding, façade, cultural heritage, non – structural elements, seismic risk ABSTRACT: The beauty of cultural heritage and monumental architecture, is often linked to their non-structural elements and decorative stones façades cladding. The collapse of these elements causes significant consequences that interest the social, the economic, the historical and the technical fields. Several regulatory documents and literature studies contain methods to address the question of relief and of the risk analysis and due to the non – structural stones security. Among the references are widespread international regulatory documents prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States by Applied Technology Council and California. In Italy there are some indications contained in the Norme Tecniche per le Costruzioni and the Direttiva del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri in 2007, finalize to the reduction of seismic risk assessment of cultural heritage. The paper, using normative references and scientific researches, allows to analyze on Royal Palace of Caserta the safety and the preservation of cultural heritage and the vulnerability of non-structural stones façade cladding. Using sophisticated equipments of Laboratory ARS of the Second University of Naples, it was possible to analyze the collapse of stone elements due to degradation caused by natural phenomena of deterioration (age of the building, type of materials, geometries , mode of fixing of the elements themselves).

Zimbardo, L. Ercoli & N. Nocilla Dipartimento di Ingegneria Strutturale, Aerospaziale e Geotecnica, Università di Palermo, Italy ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the stability conditions of hypogea, several hundred m2 wide, dating from the Punic period to the XIX century, dug out of the calcarenitic table that makes up the bedrock of the Plain of Palermo in the Fossa della Garofala. This work concerns the influence that the shape of the hypogea and the characteristics of the lithotypes wields on the instability and decay phenomena taking place, by mean of laboratory tests on the calcarenite and parametric numerical models. The comparison between the numerical models and the actual instability phenomena validated the use of the empirical formula of Hoeck to the mechanical characterization of complex structured rock-mass in soft rock. 1 INTRODUCTION The neo-tectonic and climatic events that have occurred since the Pleistocene Epoch, from the Fossa della Garofala is the last part of the Conca alternating marine/continental phases to the final d’Oro landscape, now totally immersed in the urban emersion are clearly visible on the rocky walls of area, in which the geological and geomorphologi- the Fossa della Garofala.

  • The 18Th Century Royal Palace at Caserta, with the Park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli, and the San Leucio Complex
    WHC Nomination Documentation File name: 549.pdf UNESCO Region EUROPE SITE NAME ("TITLE") The 18th Century Royal Palace at Caserta, with the Park, the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli, and the San Leucio Complex DATE OF INSCRIPTION ("SUBJECT") 6/12/1997 STATE PARTY ("AUTHOR") ITALY CRITERIA ("KEY WORDS") C (i)(ii)(iii)(iv) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: 21st Session The Committee decided to inscribe this property on the basis of criteria (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), considering that the monumental complex at Caserta, whilst cast in the same mould as other 18th century royal establishments, is exceptional for the broad sweep of its design, incorporating not only an imposing palace and park, but also much of the surrounding natural landscape and an ambitious new town laid out according to the urban planning precepts of its time. The industrial complex of the Belvedere, designed to produce silk, is also of outstanding interest because of the idealistic principles that underlay its original conception and management. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The monumental complex at Caserta, created by Carlo Borbone in the mid 18th century to rival Versailles and Madrid, is exceptional for the way in which it brings together a sumptuous palace and its park and gardens, as well as natural woodland, hunting lodges, and an industrial establishment for the production of silk. It is an eloquent expression of the Enlightenment in material form, integrated into, rather than imposed upon, its natural landscape. 1.b.
