  • Tourism in Italy: Benefits, Responsabilities and Problems
    Tourism in Italy: benefits, responsabilities and problems Italy is a diverse and intriguing country, which travellers and visitors from all over the world have always chosen to take part in a wonderful cultural experience. With more than 46.1 million tourists a year, Italy is the fifth most visited country in the world, after France (79.5 million), The United States (62.3 million), China (57.6) and Spain (56.7 million). People mainly visit Italy for its rich art, cuisine (the most famous Italian dishes are spaghetti and pizza, but every corner of this country has a traditional dish), history, fashion and culture, its beautiful landscapes which are amazing wherever you go, and its ancient monuments. Italy also has more World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world. For these reasons, tourism is one of Italy's fastest growing and most profitable industrial sectors. Tourism in Italy is not new: people have visited Italy for centuries: in the Middle Ages a lot of pilgrims from Northern Europe visited Rome; then, in the 18th century, it became the natural destination for young European aristocrats who wanted to complete their education with the so-called “Grand Tour”. It is the native land of the Roman Empire and has always attracted thousands of travellers from all over the world. Some of the most popular cities in Italy are: Rome, which is the country’s cultural and religious center with an average of 7-10 million tourists a year. The Colosseum and the Vatican Museums are the most visited places. Venice with its ancient palaces, art, world famous canals and handcraft because, on the nearby Island of Murano, you can find wonderful hand-blown glass.

Except otherwise noted, this work is licensed under: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 A previous version of this paper was published in: Tourismos: An International Multidisciplinary Journal of Tourism, Volume 14, Issue 1, 2019, pp. 55 - 76. Abstract: Tourism represents one the most relevant industries in promoting the development of a destination, but tourism and its seasonality can produce negative outcomes. The additional demand caused by tourism can strongly affect public service providers which cannot adapt their supply to seasonal variations as a result of organisational, financial and institutional limitations. This work focuses on hospital services in an Italian coastal destination and it aims to explain the impact tourism and its related seasonality have on the performance of hospitals in a coastal destination. The activity of three hospitals located in Gallura, a region in the north-east of Sardinia, Italy, has been analysed. The analysis has been carried out using data on hospitals admission from 2014 and 2015.The study highlights the critical impact tourism can have on the activity of healthcare providers in a coastal destination, identifying the reduction of hospital performance and a potential cause of bed crises.

An area of 2100 km2 was investigated by means of 535 data points obtained from laboratory and in situ gamma-ray spectrometry measurements. These data volume corresponds to the highest sampling density of the European Variscides, aimed at studying the genetic processes of the upper crust potentially triggered by an enrichment of radiogenic heat-producing elements.

  • A Virtual Train Journey Along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome
    Italian Culture Newsletter Number 22 A Virtual Train Journey along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome. Marie and I have made this journey on a number of occasions. In doing so we have either made the journey in a single day albeit with a change of train, usually at Genova. On other occasions, we have spent an evening or even a few days at Genova and/or at Livorno or Pisa. The journey described will involve more stops on the way but could be more interesting on that account. The trip begins in Ventimiglia where we stayed overnight on our last day of our last holiday in Italy. This had been occasioned by the French railway strike which prevented any trains from running from Ventimiglia to Nice on the day of our arrival from Rome into the city at the Italian- French border in Liguria. Our first visit to Ventimiglia was in 2006 when some Italian friends from Cuneo, due north of Ventimiglia, in Piemonte, met us at the rail station in Ventimiglia to take us for a short stay at their apartment in Nice. On that occasion we didn’t see much of the city except for part of the old medieval town, which now mostly is the home of many of the southerners from Naples, Calabria and Sicily who moved north seeking employment after WWII. The old town is perched high above the new city with its long sea-front promenade and railway station. Ventimiglia is the ancient Albium Intemelium, the capital of the Intemelii, a Ligurian tribe which long resisted the Romans, until in 115 BC it was forced to submit to Marcus Aemilius Scaurus.

  • Pier Virgilio Arrigoni the Discovery of the Sardinian Flora
    Pier Virgilio Arrigoni The discovery of the Sardinian Flora (XVIII-XIX Centuries) Abstract Arrigoni, P. V.: The discovery of the Sardinian Flora (XVIII-XIX Centuries). — Bocconea 19: 7-31. 2006. — ISSN 1120-4060. The history of the floristic exploration of Sardinia mainly centres round the works of G.G. Moris, who in the first half of the XIX century described most of the floristic patrimony of the island. But it is important to know the steps he took in his census, the areas he explored, his publications, motivations and conditions under which he wrote the "Stirpium sardoarum elenchus" and the three volumes of "Flora sardoa", a work moreover which he left incomplete. Merit is due to Moris for bringing the attention of many collectors, florists and taxonomists to the Flora of the Island, individuals who in his foot-steps helped to complete and update the floristic inventory of the island. Research into the history of our knowledge of the Sardinian Flora relies heavily on the analysis of botanical publications, but many other sources (non- botanical texts, chronicles of the period, correspondence) also furnish important information. Finally, the names, dates and collection localities indicated on the specimens preserved in the most important herbaria were fundamental in reconstructing the itineraries of the sites Moris visited. All these sources allowed us to clarify several aspects of the expeditions, floristic col- lections and results of his studies. The "discovery phase" of Sardinian Flora can be considered over by the end of the XIX century with the publication of the "Compendium" by Barbey (1884-1885) and "Flora d'Italia" by Fiori & Paoletti (1896-1908).

  • Corsica-Sardinia
    Corsica &Sardinia The Essence of Italy and France The Mediterranean is full of unique experiences and cultures, but none compare to a luxury yacht charter through Corsica, France and Sardinia, Italy. The two islands encompass all these two infamous countries have to offer with its own distinctive flavor. Created by violent volcanic eruptions, Corsica boasts the most mountainous region of the Med, and is nicknamed the “scented island” for the intoxicating perfumes that fill the air. Sailors and hikers adore the unparalleled natural wonders of this stunning island, while tourists flock here for the rich history and legendary beaches. Further south is Sardinia – a unique island with its own natural wonders set against wild landscapes, hidden rocky coves, and the much-vaunted Costa Smeralda. But here, past the dazzling beaches, there’s a playground for the wealthy and a flourishing nigh life – which includes the “Polynesia of Italy,” Porto Cervo. Aboard your luxury yacht, there is no better way to experience Corsica’s scenic charm and Sardinia’s authentic style. Calvi, Corsica The first stop on your dream voyage begins in the enchanting port of Calvi – a fun-loving, cobble- stoned village that was once used as a Roman trading post. Often compared to the French Riviera, Calvi’s striking beauty hits you hardest as you glide past the monumental 13th century citadel, which has a breathtaking backdrop of rugged mountains and pine forest. You’ll find plenty of relaxed eateries to indulge and discover along the quai Landry – a lovely seafront walkway. On the south side, you’ll find a separate world of sand and sun.

Carlson Steven Oberhelman Head of Department, Donny L. Hamilton December 2009 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT Foreign Influences and Consequences on the Nuragic Culture of Sardinia. (December 2009) Margaret Choltco, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann Although it is accepted that Phoenician colonization occurred on Sardinia by the 9th century B.C., it is possible that contact between Sardinia‟s indigenous population and the Levantine region occurred in the Late Bronze Age (LBA). Eastern LBA goods found on the island are copper oxhide ingots and Aegean pottery. Previously, it has been suggested that Mycenaeans were responsible for bringing the eastern goods to Sardinia, but the presence of Aegean pottery shards does not confirm the presence of Mycenaean tradesmen. Also, scholars of LBA trade have explained the paucity of evidence for a Mycenaean merchant fleet. Interpretations of two LBA shipwrecks, Cape Gelidonya and Uluburun, indicate that eastern Mediterranean merchants of Cypriot or Syro-Canaanite origin, transported large quantities of oxhide ingots from the Levant towards the west.
