    Consentia Itinera: an Interactive and Immersive Story of the Identity of the City of Cosenza DAVIDE PANTILE , ETT S.p.a., Genoa, Italy FRANCESCO PELLEGRINI, Attilio e Elena Giuliani Foundation, Rome, Italy The Consentia Itinera Multimedia Museum, funded by the Fondazione Attilio e Elena Giuliani Onlus, reveals the story behind archaeology, events, symbols, landscape, artistic heritage and personalities that have characterized the history of Cosenza, in Southern Italy a part of ancient Magna Graecia, and a “crossroads ” of Big History. The museum is located in the austere and elegant Villa Rendano, built in 1887 by Domenico Rendano, and the inauguration was held in November 2017. The layout offers an interactive route winding through the entire second floor of the Villa, focusing on specific episodes and people, with an immersive and multimedia fit-out including virtual reality and holographic projections on circular walls. These tell the story of Cosenza, from its origins until modern times. Original images, virtual reconstructions, texts and voices form a storytelling experience, accessible to all visitors, in which classical authors such as Pliny, Euripides and Ovid combine with virtual reality to give bird ’s eye views, and walks in the lanes of the city. Among the episodes are stories about the sack of Rome and the treasure of Alarico, that according to a legend is buried in Cosenza, the transformations of the city caused by earthquakes, epidemics and invasions, the Renaissance, the Risorgimento and the unity of Italy. The story of the twentieth century is told in an environment reproducing a cinema of the early years of the century but equipped with chairs and virtual reality devices.

Nat., Acta Biol., 83 (2007): 141-144 ISSN 0392-0542 © Museo Tridentino di Scienze Naturali, Trento 2007 Qualità del principale corso d’acqua della Calabria (Fiume Crati), valutata mediante le comunità di diatomee Andrea DE FILIPPIS1*, Luana GALLO1, Lucio LUCADAMO1, Antonietta MEZZOTERO1 & Maurizio BATTEGAZZORE2 1Dipartimento di Ecologia, Università della Calabria, Via P. Bucci, Cubo 6b, 87036 Arcavacata di Rende (CS), Italia 2ARPA Piemonte, Via Vecchia di Borgo S. Dalmazzo 11, 12100 Cuneo, Italia *E-mail dell’Autore per la corrispondenza: [email protected] RIASSUNTO - Qualità del principale corso d’acqua della Calabria (Fiume Crati), valutata mediante le comunità di diatomee - Il Fiume Crati costituisce il corso d’acqua più importante della Calabria. Oltre a rappresentare la principale risorsa irrigua e industriale della regione è rilevante per le attività ricreative che vi si svolgono e per i numerosi scarichi di origine antropica che vi si riversano. Nonostante il D. Lgs. 152/99 e la Dir. CE 2000/60 prevedano l’introduzione di vari metodi biologici per il monitoraggio dei corpi idrici, sono pochi gli studi condotti in tal senso sulla qualità del Fiume Crati. Nel corso del 2004 è stata eseguita una campagna di campionamento al fine di caratterizzare il corso d’acqua dal punto di vista delle diatomee bentoniche e della sua qualità biologica. Il rinvenimento complessivo di 115 specie attesta un’elevata biodiversità di diatomee, ma se si tiene conto del valore indicatore delle specie applicando l’Indice EPI-D di Dell’Uomo le considerazioni a cui si giunge sono diverse. Soltanto il tratto montano del Crati e quello in chiusura di bacino dell’affluente Busento sono risultati di qualità discreta, mentre tutto il tratto medio-in- feriore appare piuttosto alterato.

  • Legends State That Reggio Calabria Was Founded by Aschenez, a Great Grandchild of Noah and That Many Jews Emigrated to Calabria
    JEWISH ROOTS in CALABRIA (Italy) by Prof. Francesco Gallo Legends state that Reggio Calabria was founded by Aschenez, a great grandchild of Noah and that many Jews emigrated to Calabria (thus, starting the ―Jewish Diaspora‖) after Roman Emperor Titus (30-81 AD), during the Jewish- Roman War in 70 AD, captured, sacked and destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple (see photo below). The Old Temple of Jerusalem as it was before its destruction in 70 AD When Titus destroyed the Temple, he also looted all precious works of art and metals as can be seen on the relief sculptures of Rome‘s Arch of Titus (see photo below) 1 This treasure, was brought from Jerusalem to Rome that Alaric (370-410), King of Visigoths, occupied in 410 AD and on his way to Africa, he passed by Cosenza where he died from malaria. His body and the treasure are believed to been buried under the bed of where the Busento and Crati Rivers meet (see photo below). Other legends mention that it was the Hellenized Jews from Egypt who introduced the citrus fruit etrog (―cedro‖ in Italian for ―cedar‖) in Calabria before the Magna Graecia thirteen centuries BC. In fact, the prized etrog, known as the Diamante Citron, also known as the "Yanover Etrog‖, is still grown in Calabria today (see photo below of rabbis selecting perfect cedars). The Calabrian town of ―Santa Maria del Cedro‖ still features their etrog heritage in its place name. It is believed by some Jews, especially the Chabad-Lubavitch, that Moses (1391-1271 BC) used a Calabrian etrog during the first holiday of Sukkot (―Feast of the Tabernacle‖ or ―Festa della Capanna‖) which celebrates the Jewish exodus from Egypt.

    A TRIP BETWEEN THE VALLEYS OF CRATI AND ESARO PLACES WHERE HISTORY, CULTURE, CRAFTS AND FOOD AND DRINK BLEND IN MILLENARY CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS The valleys of Crati and of Esaro, which make up the territory where the Crati Valley LAG operates, lies in Calabria, the most southerly region of peninsular Italy. The route begins in the north with the village of Altomonte and heads south near to the town of Cosenza, the provincial capital, running through the villages of the coastal mountain chain and those nestling on the hills of the Crati and the Esaro valleys, many of them Arbëreshe, since they were inhabited or founded about five centuries ago by communities coming from Albania. The trip we present here is characterised by three itineraries, which will lead us to the discovery of typical local villages, together with glimpses of fascinating beauty characterised by architectonic and naturalistic heritage and by tradi- tional cras, the product of a long history, which aer the Bruzi civilization saw the alternation of foreign dominations and immigration: Greek, Roman, Visigoth, Byzantine, Langobardic, Arab, Norman and Albanian. The visitor cannot fail to dis- cover the local farming that produces high quality food making this land unique: the wine and olive oil, which have received many important awards, and the dot- tato fig, which enjoys DOP recognition together with the Bruzio olive oil. The offer of typical local products of this area is enriched by excellent cheeses and pressed pork meats, as well as by exquisite bakery and aromatic honey. Have a good trip then, one that features history, culture, traditions and food and drink, in places where every angle can offer surprising opportunities.

Within such a framework, airborne remote sensing tools have demonstrated to be powerful instruments, whose joint use can provide meaningful analyses to support the risk assessment of urban environments. Based on this rationale, in this study, the operational benefits obtained by combining airborne LiDAR and hyperspectral measurements are shown.
