  • Buccini the Merchants of Genoa and the Diffusion of Southern Italian Pasta Culture in Europe
    Anthony Buccini The Merchants of Genoa and the Diffusion of Southern Italian Pasta Culture in Europe Pe-i boccoin boin se fan e questioin. Genoese proverb 1 Introduction In the past several decades it has become received opinion among food scholars that the Arabs played the central rôle in the diffusion of pasta as a common food in Europe and that this development forms part of their putative broad influence on culinary culture in the West during the Middle Ages. This Arab theory of the origins of pasta comes in two versions: the basic version asserts that, while fresh pasta was known in Italy independently of any Arab influence, the development of dried pasta made from durum wheat was a specifically Arab invention and that the main point of its diffusion was Muslim Sicily during the period of the island’s Arabo-Berber occupation which began in the 9th century and ended by stages with the Norman conquest and ‘Latinization’ of the island in the eleventh/twelfth century. The strong version of this theory, increasingly popular these days, goes further and, though conceding possible native European traditions, posits Arabic origins not only for dried pasta but also for the names and origins of virtually all forms of pasta attested in the Middle Ages, albeit without ever providing credible historical and linguistic evidence; Clifford Wright (1999: 618ff.) is the best known proponent of this approach. In AUTHOR 2013 I demonstrated that the commonly held belief that lasagne were an Arab contribution to Italy’s culinary arsenal is untenable and in particular that the Arabic etymology of the word itself, proposed by Rodinson and Vollenweider, is without merit: both word and item are clearly of Italian origin.

    The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at the ARKA Lab in Aidone offers the opportunity of a full- time research and didactic experience in enhancing urban & territorial heritage through Integrated Relational Tourism. An activity focused on the issue of Urban Design for Urban Spaces in Aidone/Morgantina as an opportunity aimed to improve the quality of life so as the local economic development for the communities of the inland rural areas. The Kore International Winter School 2015, represents a continuous of activities as interviews and meetings, workshops and expositions, lectures and site visits that, through 8 full days of common work, should explore problems and hopefully propose a range of visions for the future of the city and of the hinterland of Aidone-Morgantina and its heritage. The Kore International Winter School 2015 includes field trips and guided visits to the study site of Aidone and Morgantina, Piazza Armerina and Villa del Casale, Enna and Pergusa areas as well as social and cultural events. The School activities are articulated on three structural goals, which are: - the activity of scientific and applied Research, implicit in the proposed innovative approach as in the chosen application field; - the integrated project implementation Scenarios, as expected design results by the workshop; - the Training for new needed professionals, important to manage the transition to a different development model from the current one. Official and work languages Official language: English (for meetings, lectures, exibitions, etc.) Work languages: Arabic and Italian (for any other informal relationships!) Short Presentation The Winter School aims to promote a trans-disciplinary and international approach that encourages the development of skills and knowledge in the field of Integrated Tourism managed by the territory through its local actors and resources.

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

  • Meredith College Travel Letter Sicily, Italy
    Dear Friends of Meredith Travel, I just spent a most enjoyable morning. In preparation for writing this letter about our September 25-October 7, 2018, tour of Sicily, I reviewed my photographs from the trip I made there this past summer. I simply can’t wait to go back! Betty describes southern Italy as Italy to the 3rd power—older, grander, and more richly complex. Sicily, we agree, is Italy to the 10th power, at least. It was, by far, the most exotic version of our favorite country that I have yet to encounter, made so by its location and history, which includes a dizzying mix of cultures. It was Greek far longer than it has been Italian. It was Arab. Norman. Swabian. Aragonese. Austrian. Even Bourbon French! All left their mark. And finally, and relatively recently (1860), the Risorgimento fought it into being part of unified Italy. The food, the architecture, and customs can best be understood by experiencing them all firsthand, so without further ado, I would like to summarize our itinerary for you. Join me now as we vicariously tour Sicily together. Day 1: Sept. 25 (Tues) Departure. We depart the U.S. to arrive the next day in Palermo, the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily. Day 2: Sept. 26 (Wed) Palermo. Palermo is a city of 700,000, by far the largest on the island, with an ancient historic city center with structures representing the panorama of its past. After a quick driving tour to orient us to the city, we stop, drop bags at the hotel, and head out to see perhaps the most perfect medieval buildings in the world, the Norman Palace and Palatine Chapel, the latter known for its extraordinary mosaics designed in such a way that the aesthetics of the Arab, Jewish, and Norman artisans are all incorporated.

Corinthian order Valley of the Temples • The Valle dei Templi is an archaeological site in Agrigento (ancient Greek Akragas), Sicily, southern Italy. It is one of the most outstanding examples of Greater Greece art and architecture, and is one of the main attractions of Sicily as well as a national momument of Italy. The area was included in the UNESCO Heritage Site list in 1997. Much of the excavation and restoration of the temples was due to the efforts of archaeologist Domenico Antonio Lo Faso Pietrasanta (1783– 1863), who was the Duke of Serradifalco from 1809 through 1812. • The Valley includes remains of seven temples, all in Doric style. The temples are: • Temple of Juno, built in the 5th century BC and burnt in 406 BC by the Carthaginians. It was usually used for the celebration of weddings. • Temple of Concordia, whose name comes from a Latin inscription found nearby, and which was also built in the 5th century BC. Turned into a church in the 6th century AD, it is now one of the best preserved in the Valley.

Edlund-Berry CLARA CHRONICLE 2018 No. 1 Morgantina Revisited: An Architect’s Recollections Ingrid Edlund-Berry The ancient Greek site of Morgantina in central Sicily is well known to students of architecture, city planning, numismatics, and other related fields in Classical Studies. It was first settled on the Cittadella hill in the Bronze and Iron Ages. The arrival of Greeks in the early sixth century BC resulted in the creation of a settlement also on Cittadella with a shrine (naiskos) decorated with brightly colored architectural terracottas and with houses. Imported Greek pottery found within the settlement and in the tombs bears witness to extensive trade, and Morgantina also minted its own coins.1 The next phase of Morgantina’s history witnessed the attack in 459 BC by Ducetius, a native Sikel ruler, who may have been responsible for the foundation of a new settlement on the Serra Orlando ridge where the new city was laid out according to a grid plan.2 After a few years, the city came under the control of Syracuse, then Camarina, and again of Syracuse. It flourished first under the reign of Agathokles (end of fourth century BC) and later under Hieron (third century BC). The city blossomed, and private houses dominated the hill slopes on either side of the large agora, equipped with monumental public buildings, stoas and granaries, a theater, and sanctuaries. At the death of Hieron (215 BC), the alliance of Syracuse with Rome shifted to that of Carthage, and the city was taken by Rome in 212 BC.
