  • ABRUZZO a “Communications Highway” in Copper and Fibre Optic
    ABRUZZO A “communications highway” in copper and fibre optic cables Abruzzo has taken measures to upgrade its telecommunications and IT systems. Telephone exchanges have been modernised in order to improve quality in communications and, in an effort to improve the fixed and mobile telephone systems, 28,000 kilometres of copper cables and about 2,000 kilometres of fibre optic cables have been laid. Finally, 8,000 ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) gateways have been opened up to increase the number of Internet services available and facilitate the exchange of data and images. New material for production processes In order to help companies to innovate their technology, in 1996 the L’Aquila branch of the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica della Materia) set up a research laboratory: CASTI (Centre for Scientific and Technological Assistance to Companies). Since its foundation, the Centre has been assisting firms wishing to use innovative components in their production processes, carrying out studies on the composition and microstructure of materials. This type of research is also applied industrially in certain aspects of quality and production process control. CASTI has electronic microscopes capable of observing a few atoms at a time and instruments that can treat extremely thin (monomolecular) layers to produce materials with various specific properties. Thanks to this equipment, experiments can be carried out at over 1,000° or close to absolute zero, in a vacuum or at pressures of several thousand atmospheres. The Centre has 15 researchers and attracts large amounts of research investment. Internet site: http://www.aquila.infn.it/infm/Casti/Indice.html The missing link in the Bologna-Bari double track The sharp increase in traffic on the railways of Abruzzo over the last few years, especially in coastal towns, has made it necessary to upgrade the lines.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places.

A visionary and tough decision by those who have made the environment their resource and will project Abruzzo into a major and leading role in “green tourism”. Overall most of this legacy – but not all – is to be found in the mountains, where the landscapes and ecosystems change according to altitude, shifting from typically Mediterranean milieus to outright alpine scenarios, with mugo pine groves and high-altitude steppe. Of all the Apennine regions, Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature, with two thirds of its territory found at over 750 metres in altitude.This is due to the unique way that the Apennine develops in its central section, where it continues to proceed along the peninsula’s

  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards.

[236] - 269 ECKARD LEFEVRE - FREIBURG I. BR. PLINIUS-STUDIEN IV Die Naturauffassung in den Beschreibungen der Quelle am Lacus Larius (4,30), des Clitumnus (8,8) und des Lacus Vadimo (8,20)* Mit Tafeln XIII-XVI quacumque enim ingredimur, in aliqua historia vestigium ponimus. Cic. De fin. 5,5 In seiner 1795 erschienenen Abhandlung Über naive und sentimen- talische Dichtung unterschied Friedrich von Schiller den mit der Natur in Einklang lebenden, den ‚naiven' Dichter (und Menschen) und den aus der Natur herausgetretenen, sich aber nach ihr zurücksehnenden, den ,sentimentalischen` Dichter (und Menschen). Der Dichter ist nach Schil- ler entweder Natur, oder er wird sie suchen. Im großen und ganzen war mit dieser Unterscheidung die verschiedene Ausprägung der griechischen und der modernen Dichtung gemeint. Schiller hat richtig gesehen, daß die Römer im Hinblick auf diese Definition den Modernen zuzuordnen sind': Horaz, der Dichter eines kultivierten und verdorbenen Weltalters, preist die ruhige Glückseligkeit in seinem Tibur, und ihn könnte man als den wahren Stifter dieser Diese Betrachtungen bilden zusammen mit den Plinius-Studien I-III (die in den Lite- raturhinweisen aufgeführt sind) eine Tetralogie zu Plinius' ästhetischer Naturauffas- sung. Dieses Thema ist hiermit abgeschlossen. [Inzwischen ist das interessante Buch von H. Mielsch, Die römische Villa. Architektur und Lebensform, München 1987, erschienen, in dem einiges zur Sprache kommt, was in dieser Tetralogie behandelt wird.] Auch in diesem Fall wurden die Briefe als eigenständige Kunstwerke ernst- genommen und jeweils als Ganzes der Interpretation zugrundegelegt.
