  • Lesson Four: Zoom in on Italy Factsheet on Naples
    Lesson Four: Zoom in on Italy Factsheet on Naples Name in Italian: Roma Region located in: Lazio Population: 2,840,000 Historical background Rome is known as the Eternal City. This means it has always been a major city in world history. Rome began as an Etruscan City. However, Roman legend tells us that the founders of Rome were the twins Romulus and Remus. Rome City is built around seven hills. The Romans are one of the most famous civilisations in the world and the city grew to its peak under their command. Roman rule lasted nearly 500 years. Most famous tourist sights Rome is the capital city of Italy. It is known as an ancient city and millions of tourists visit the city to see the famous Roman artefacts. The most popular places to visit are the Colosseum, The Forum, Spanish Steps, The Pantheon, St. Peters Basilica, Piazza Navona and Sant’Angelo Castle. The Vatican City is extremely popular, not only because this is where the Pope lives, but because it is its own independent city state. City economics Rome is the capital city. Tourism forms an important part of the economy of the city. However, although it is the capital of the country, most of the businesses and banks in Italy are located in the northern cities. The Comunes in Rome are trying to attract international businesses to the city, such as banking, insurance, printing, publishing and fashion. Italy makes a lot of films, and the offices for these films can be found very close to Rome. Other information The Comunes of Rome want to develop the city.

  • Writing Rome
    TRAVEL SEMINAR TO ROME JACKIE MURRAY “Writing Rome” (TX201) is a one-credit travel seminar that will introduce students to interdisciplinary perspectives on Rome. “All roads lead to Rome.” This maxim guides our study tour of the Eternal City. In “Writing Rome” students will travel to KAITLIN CURLEY ANDERS, Rome and compare the city constructed in texts with the city constructed of brick, concrete, marble, wood, and metal. This travel seminar will offer tours of the major ancient sites (includ- ing the Fora, the Palatine, the Colosseum, the Pantheon), as well as the Vatican, the major museums, churches and palazzi, Fascist monuments, the Jewish quarter and other locales ripe with the PHOTOS BY: DAN CURLEY, DAN CURLEY, PHOTOS BY: historical and cultural layering that is the city’s hallmark. In addi- OFF-CAMPUS STUDY & EXCHANGES tion, students will keep travel journals and produce a culminat- ing essay (or other written work) about their experiences on the tour, thereby continuing the tradition of writing Rome. WHY ROME? Rome is the Eternal City, a cradle of western culture, and the root of the English word “romance.” Founded on April 21, 753 BCE (or so tradition tells us), the city was the heart of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, and today serves as the capitol of Italy. Creative Thought Matters Bustling, dense, layered, and sublime, Rome has withstood tyrants, invasions, disasters, and the ravages of the centuries. The Roman story is the story of civilization itself, with chapters ? written by citizens and foreigners alike. Now you are the author. COURSE SCHEDULE “Reading Rome,” the 3-credit lecture and discussion-based course, will be taught on the Skidmore College campus during the Spring 2011 semester.

Ciampichetti CNR Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Rome, Italy Monitoraggio Ambientale Civitavecchia – ARPA Lazio – Roma 5-4-2018 GOALS • In spite of epidemiological studies showing higher mortality of residents with respect to the surrounding region (respiratory pathologies and cancer), air quality thresholds for PM10 and NO2 are rarely exceeded in Civitavecchia. • This study addresses the port loads and origins of black carbon (BC) and ultrafine particles (UFP) (two pollutants with stronger associations with health effects than PM10), as measured in the month of April 2016 by the CNR-ISAC van “AEROLAB”. • Concurrently, short and long-term air quality measurements performed by the regional environmental agency (ARPA Lazio) and by the Port Authority are analyzed to investigate the port’s impact on regulated air constituents. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS • Civitavecchia is the major port serving the Rome area in central Italy. • In addition to regular ferry links with Sardinia, north Africa, and Spain the port hosts an important traffic of cruise ships, cargo ferries, and carrier ships summing-up to some 3000 ship movements per year, involving 4 million passengers, 1 million vehicles, and 17 Mt of goods. • The port touches the NW portion of the city of Civitavecchia (50,000 inhabitants), and extends NW for about 3 km, up the coal cargo pier serving the 2000 MW, coal-fired power station of Torrevaldaliga Nord .

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

Ottorino Respighi The Pines of the Villa Borghese (1879-1936) The Pines Near a Catacomb The Pines of the Janiculum The Pines of the Appian Way The audience is requested to remain seated during the playing of the Interlochen Theme and to refrain from applause upon its completion. * * * PROGRAM NOTES By Amanda Sewell Symphony No. 8 in B Minor, D. 759 “Unfinished” Franz Schubert Franz Schubert was only 31 years old when he died in 1828, and he left this particular symphony unfinished at the time of his death. Although it makes a dramatic story that would parallel the composition of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem, it is not true that Schubert was working on this symphony up to the moment of his death. Schubert began composing this symphony in 1822, writing only two complete movements before setting it aside. He may have returned to it later if he had lived longer, but it seems clear that he stopped working on this piece because he wasn’t interested in finishing it at the time. The two completed movements were both very typical in form and style of symphonies at the time. The first is an Allegro moderato in sonata form, and the second is an Andante con moto that alternates two contrasting themes.
