The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed €3,500,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as described in the Dealer Agreement described herein), subject to increase as described herein. The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under “Overview of the Programme” and any additional Dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuer (each a “Dealer” and together the “Dealers”), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Base Prospectus to the “relevant Dealer” shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes. An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see “Risk Factors”. This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Central Bank”) as competent authority under Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended (including by Directive 2010/73/EU) (the “Prospectus Directive”). The Central Bank only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the requirements imposed under Irish and EU law pursuant to the Prospectus Directive.

The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. The Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market. The Issuer may agree with any Dealer and the Trustee (as defined herein) that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes herein, in which event, a new Base Prospectus or a drawdown prospectus, in the case of listed Notes only, if appropriate, will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes. Tranches or Series of Notes to be issued under the Programme will be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche or Series of Notes is to be rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Issuer or to Notes already issued. Where a Tranche or Series of Notes is rated, the applicable rating(s) may be specified in the relevant Final Terms. Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to relevant Series of Notes will be issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under Regulation (EC) No.1060/2009 (as amended) (the “CRA Regulation”), and included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the CRA Regulation, will be disclosed in the applicable Final Terms. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

  • Molisans Between Transoceanic Vocations and the Lure of the Continent
    / 4 / 2011 / Migrations Molisans between transoceanic vocations and the lure of the Continent by Norberto Lombardi 1. The opening up of hyper-rural Molise After the armies had passed through Molise, on the morrow of the end of World War II, Molisans’ main preoccupation was not leaving their land and looking for better job and life prospects abroad. There were more immediate concerns, such as the return of prisoners, the high cost of living, rebuilding bombed towns, restoring roads and railways, restoring the water and electricity supply, and finding raw materials for artisanal activities. The recovery of the area was thus seen in a rather narrow perspective, as the healing of the wounds inflicted by the war to local society and the productive infrastructure, or, at most, as a reinforcement and development of traditional activities. The only sector where this perspective broadened was that of interregional transportation. The hope was to overcome the isolation of the region, although as a long-term project. When one peruses the local pages of the more or less politically engaged newspapers and journals that appeared with the return of democracy, and when one looks at institutional activities, especially those of the Consiglio provinciale di Campobasso, one is even surprised by the paucity and belatedness of references to the theme of emigration, deeply rooted as it is in the social conditions and culture of the Molisans.1 For example, one has to wait until 1949 for a report from Agnone, one of the historical epicenters of Molisan migration, to appear in the newspaper Il Messaggero.2 The report 1 For an overview of the phenomenon of migration in the history of the region, see Ricciarda Simoncelli, Il Molise.

  • MOLISE Shorter Travelling Time to Rome the New Railway Lines
    MOLISE Shorter travelling time to Rome The new railway lines passing through the Molise region will be faster and, above all, safer. The new line, 49 km long, currently under construction between the stations of Rocca d’Evandro and Vairano, could reduce travelling time between Rome and Campobasso by about 20 minutes. Passengers arriving from Termoli on the Adriatic line could go through Venafro to reach the high-speed Rome-Naples line, which is also under construction, more quickly. The Venafro-Vairano stretch, on the other hand, is in need of technological upgrading. Centralised traffic control (CTC) is being installed on the Molise part of the Adriatic line. This is indispensable for railway safety given that double tracking on parts of the line will increase train speeds. Cleaner water A number of schemes have been promoted in an effort to improve water and sewage networks and upgrade the water purification system. As regards water networks, new equipment has been installed and some existing plant improved. This involved 109 projects spread over 136 municipalities in the region. In addition, 108 km of sewer trunk lines and collectors were laid and 74 new sewage plants put into operation, serving a population of 250,000 out of a total of about 330,000. The Pompei of the Dark Ages In the province of Isernia, major rehabilitation has been carried out in the San Vincenzo al Volturno area, an abbatial settlement founded in the Dark Ages and one of the most important monastic institutions of the Carolingian period, described by some as the Pompei of the Dark Ages.

By means of different approaches, the two towns have been able to provide local development through organic farming that in turn have boosted economic diversification or new forms of territorial aggregation. They have drawn the attention to the neighbouring communities and have stimulated emulation processes.

  • Pizzone Article
    "They are hard working and they all have houses of their own:" The Pizzonesi in Chicago By Dominic Candeloro In our ongoing effort to document the many facets of emigration from Italy to the United States from the 1880s to the present, historians have rarely addressed the experience of the Molisani. Because the name of the current Region of Molise was submerged in that of Abruzzo, immigrants from Molise have consistently identified themselves as Abruzzese. Like all geographically-defined people, the Molisani deserve to have a distinct social and cultural history. The story of migrants from Molise and the impact of mass migration on the region in terms of lost population and transferred culture is a vital part of that history. The study that follows is a preliminary case study of the migration patterns and attitudes of a small sample of Chicago Italian Americans who originate from the village of Pizzone, Province of Isernia. It helps to explain not only the history of the migrants but that of the town from which they came. This impressionistic effort is based upon 10 selected oral history interviews, written responses to mailed questionnaires, a survey of the poetry and writings of Elio Santucci, and short published biographical information on two prominent labor leaders. Later additional research will concentrate on statistical and printed sources in Italy as well as additional Chicago source material. Pizzone is a small town 724 meters above sea level in the northeast corner of Molise near the borders of Abruzzo, Lazio, and Campania. Named for the characteristic large peak above the town, "Pizzone" is just a few kilometers from Castel San Vincenzo with whose inhabitants the Pizzonesi have had a great deal of interaction both in Italy and in Chicago.

    1974 I Dedicate This Book To All My Children And Their Wives And Husbands Or Whoever Is Interested In Reading Our Family Story Past and Present Also I Dedicate This Book To My Wife Rosina DiFlorio Mariani This Book Is Written By John (Giovanni) Mariani 848 G-Avenue & 9th Street East Ely, Nevada I am writing this book in memory of my grandmother Maddalena, Carlini, from whom many of the information was related to me. My grandmother, whom was my father mother, was born in S. Pietro Avellana, prov. di Campobasso, Italy in the year 1850. She was very close to all of her family. Her father was Pietro Carlini whom I remember in my younger year. He was a farmer. He married at the age of 30 to a woman from Castel di Sangro prov. di of Aquila Italy. Her name was Pasqua Venditelli; she lived to be 98 years old. I remember great- grandmother Pasqua. Previously he was married to another woman Maria, with whom they had two daughters. The 2nd daughter was my grandmother, Maddalena. Great-grandfather Pietro Carlini was 101 years old when he died. I remember as a child being to his funeral in 1912. I was 8 years old. Also I was at the funeral of great-grandmother Pasqua, who died later in the year of 1915. She was 98. My grandmother Maddalena lost her husband on her early years by accident; he fell from a tree and as a result of back injury he was confined in bed for two years and died as of that result.
