The trulli are limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia. They are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) constuction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of limestone slabs. Today there are approximately a thousand trulli in Alberobello which has been inhabited since the 15th century and was designated a national monument in 1930 and also an UNESCO World Heritage site. San Nicola’s Cathedral is located in Bari itself. In May each year the feast of San Nicola is celebrated here. A procession of some three hundred persons in the costumes of the Norman era leaves the Swabian castle to reach the church of San Nicola. There they re-enact the delivery of San Nicola’s bones to the Dominican friars, recalling the events of 1087, when some merchants of Bari managed to steal the saint’s relics from their resting place in Myra. The saint’s statue also has a place of honour in a procession of boats that makes its way along the coast. 2 www.medcruise.com Destination MedCruise-15 19/2/07 12:00 Page 3 DESTINATION MEDCRUISE –ITALY Via Livorno to stories of a miraculous sea rescue.

  • Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies
    More than a Directory! Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Companies 1st Edition, April 2013 © 2013 by J. R. Kuehmayer www.amem.at Cruise Ship Owners / Operators Preface The AMEM Publication “Cruise Ship Owners/Operators and Passenger Ship Financing & Management Compa- nies” in fact is more than a directory! Company co-ordinates It is not only the most comprehensively and accurately structured listing of cruise ship owners and operators in the industry, despite the fact that the majority of cruise lines is more and more keeping both the company’s coordinates and the managerial staff secret. The entire industry is obtrusively focused on selling their services weeks and months ahead of the specific cruise date, collecting the money at a premature stage and staying almost unattainable for their clients pre and after cruise requests. They simply ignore the fact that there are suppliers and partners around who wish to keep in touch personally at least with the cruise line’s technical and procurement departments! The rest of the networking-information is camouflaged by the yellow-pages industry, which is facing a real prospect of extinction. The economic downturn is sending the already ailing business into a tailspin. The yellow-pages publishers basically give back in one downturn what took seven years to grow! Cruise Ship Financing It is more than a directory as it unveils the shift in the ship financing sector and uncovers how fast the traditional financiers to the cruise shipping industry fade away and perverted forms of financing are gaining ground. Admittedly there are some traditional banks around, which can maintain their market position through a blend of sober judgements, judicious risk management and solid relationships.
