It is the only city in the ancient world that has not perished like Ilium, like Nineveh, like Babylon. It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals. Customise your tour, choosing from: – Farmacia degli Incurabili: This pharmaceutical laboratory was a meeting point for the Neapolitan Enlightened elite. Discover the intriguing anecdotes of a place where art and science collided. – Biblioteca dei Girolamini: Home to a vast archive of books and opera music since 1586, this is the oldest public library in Naples. – San Gaudioso Catacombs: Concealed beneath the Basilica di Santa Maria della Santità lies one of the most important early Christian cemeteries in Naples. Head underground to unearth the mysterious crypt’s secrets. – Sansevero Chapel: Preserving the Veiled Christ, one of the greatest masterpieces ever carved in marble, this chapel is an iconic example of 18th-century creativity. The statues appear so fluid and soft, you may be tempted to reach out and touch them. Visits may vary according to availability.

The following tours are arranged by their thematic focus, recognizable by different colors. 2 FOOD & WINE The wine tour in Riomaggiore: meeting the winegrower, hiking through the vineyards, enjoy the wine tasting! Andrea, a young winemaker from Riomaggiore, follows the wine-growing traditions handed down over generations. He takes you on a unique and interesting wine tour. The tasting consists of two different wines offering you a complete new gustatory experience - very natural wines, produced respecting the vineyard and the earth, without the use of chemical products, sulfites and yeasts. The results are intense wines which, through their scents and flavors, will transmit you the special characteristics of the place where they have grown - rocks, sea, herbs… These are authentic wines that symbolize both past and future – because this is the way the ancestors produced the wine in the past, but wines rich in history and character will impress the future too. In the morning you take a bus and reach Andrea at the starting point and together you will walk on a little trail into his vineyard. This is a special panoramic place with a magnificent view over the steep Cinque Terre coast. Andrea will explain you his wine growing methods - respecting the vineyard and the earth, without the use of chemical products. Skillful and with sensitivity he combines modern methods with ancient equipment as the terra- cotta amphorae.

Whether on your own, with your family or with a partner, whether you are cycling or walking, in the Cinque Terre area fun, uncontaminated, wild landscapes, and breathtaking corners are just around the corner. The spectacular landscapes, the coast etched by the Mediterranean Sea and mountains behind the Ligurian sea, the bays that mirror that special light from the clear skies make the Cinque Terre a unique experience . Each village has its own special attractions and is rich in the best Italian folklore, food, etc ….. There is something here for everyone. You will never be disappointed. The "Cinque Terre", where "Terre" (lands) stands for maritime medieval fishermen’s villages, are a landscape included by UNESCO among the “World’s Heritage” due to their beauty, and the particularities which characterize this territory. The Cinque Terre, the “Five Lands“ or the “Five Villages” (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso) is famous all over the world, mainly thanks to its paths and walks which wind round the coast or reach the sanctuaries above each village. The breath-taking view can be enjoyed by everybody: young or old. Public transport (train, ferryboat, bus, etc..) offers an ideal easy trouble free way to enjoy the Cinque Terre at its best. The Five Lands are a group of five picturesque tiny villages along the coast surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and woods.

  • Spring/Summer 1998 Rector's Corner

    Spring/Summer 1998 Rector's Corner

    Spring/Summer 1998 Rector's Corner Most of the time I use this column to highlight the physical or programmatic improvements that we have been able to complete due to the generosity of you, our benefactors. This time I want to concentrate on the reason for all these temporal blessings, the reason all of you support us: because we are engaged in the sacred and noble enterprise of forming priests after the mind and heart of Christ! Everything we do in the natural order- expansion, renovation, modernization of facilities, scholarships, new programs- is only to help us achieve our single supernatural goal: to prepare men to be faithful, holy, and effective priests. The only way this can happen is to inspire our men to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ. The Holy Father recently remarked to priests, "Love for Jesus and His Church must be the passion of your life. " Simply put, we urge our men so to know, love, and serve Jesus that they actually become one with Him, so united to Him that they will actually act in His Person as a priest. Not only that, but so intimately united are they to Our Lord that they love His Bride, the Church. Heady stuff, all of that, I admit... but this goal of our program of spiritual formation -how is it done? I wish I could explain it succinctly, but that is tough to do! Let me try to put it this way: there is both a programmatic and an atmospheric component to our spiritual formation. Our program offers the method, the way to achieve this passionate love of Christ and His Church: daily Mass, instruction and encouragement in daily prayer, communal morning and evening prayer in the Divine Office, trust in spiritual direction, an annual retreat and periodic days of recollection, emphasis on devotion to the Eucharist and to the Blessed Mother, a reliance on the sacrament of penance, and time honored practices such as spiritual readings and acts of self denial.

    Nomenclatural and Taxonomic Notes on Some Centaurea Taxa (Asteraceae) from Southern Italy

    Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2020) 44: 441-454 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1912-9 Nomenclatural and taxonomic notes on some Centaurea taxa (Asteraceae) from southern Italy 1 2, 3 1,4 Emanuele DEL GUACCHIO , Duilio IAMONICO *, Paola CENNAMO , Paolo CAPUTO 1 Botanical Garden, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy 2 Department PDTA, Section Environment and Landscape, University of Rome Sapienza, Rome, Italy 3 Department of Humanistic Sciences, University Suor Orsola Benincasa, Naples, Italy 4 Department of Biology, University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy Received: 06.12.2019 Accepted/Published Online: 10.04.2020 Final Version: 16.07.2020 Abstract: We studied the application of the neglected name Centaurea leucolepis DC., concluding, by examination of the literature and original material, that the associated taxon is C. corensis Vals. et Filig., endemic to Campania region (southern Italy) and introduced into Sardinia. The name by Candolle is legitimate and it is here lectotypified by a specimen kept at G. In addition, after field surveys and herbarium searches, we suggest that this taxon should be considered as a subspecies of C. deusta Ten., a very polymorphic species of south-eastern Europe, proposing a new combination and providing a detailed description. In addition, we provide the validation of the name C. cineraria subsp. sirenum, endemic to Sirenuse islands (province of Salerno). Finally, a new natural hybrid within C. sect. Centaurea (C. montaltensis × C. deusta subsp. deusta) is described on the basis of the diagnosis and a specimen at PI by Michele Guadagno.
