    The Legend of 'Di Fara Pizza' - A Classic Italian Story Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) The Legend of 'Di Fara Pizza' - A Classic Italian Story Tommaso Cartia (November 01, 2017) The adventurous and romantic story of Domenico “Dom” DeMarco, who, in 1959 moved from Caiazzo (province of Caserta), to Brooklyn. The story of a simple man who made his historic Di Fara pizzeria into a legend. If you enter the heart of Brooklyn from the Avenue J subway station, you’ll find yourself in a classic Jewish neighborhood, with synagogues and kosher restaurants. It’s the last place you would ever think of finding a typical Italian pizzeria. However, New York is a city of infinite surprises, of contrasts but also of cultural synthesis. And just a few steps away from the Avenue J subway station stop, you’ll find one of the city’s most venerable pizzerias, Di Fara Pizza, a place that has become legendary and in recent years an important destination for tourists and celebrities from all over the world. The secret of this little storefront lies in the golden hands of Domenico DeMarco, a pizza maker from Caiazzo [2], in the province of Caserta, who, since opening the pizzeria in 1964, has been preparing Page 1 of 3 The Legend of 'Di Fara Pizza' - A Classic Italian Story Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) his classic pizzas daily. Domenico’s Story His story is also a classic one. In 1959, Domenico left Caiazzo and followed his father, an American citizen, to the dream metropolis of New York.

The analyses were carried out in the context of the project “Innovative methods and technologies for the conservation, valorisation and use of cultural heritage: environmental and archaeological analyses”, within the CULTURA CREA-MIBAC program, which aims to provide innovative methods for conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage through environmental and archaeometric analyses. Preliminarily, using field equipment, non-destructive investigations were carried out to identify constituent, restoration, and/or degradation materials belonging to the wall paintings on the main floor and to assess their conservation state under the current environmental conditions. Environmental monitoring was performed both outdoor (to assess the effects of atmospheric pollution and changes in the climate of the structure) and indoor the rooms of the site (to evaluate the conditions of conservation and fruition).

PHILICA, Article number 962, 10 February 2017. The Walled Town of Alife and the Solstices Amelia Carolina Sparavigna Politecnico di Torino, Italy Abstract: Here we consider an astronomical orientation of the walled town of Alife, in Campania. This town has maintained its Roman original layout and the walls of that period. We will show, by means of SunCalc software, that the main street of Alife, its Decumanus, is aligned along the sunrise/sunset on solstices. Keywords: Italic Towns, Archaeology, Solstices, Saturnalia, Archaeoastronomy, SunCalc. Introduction Alife is a town in the province of Caserta, Campania, located in the Volturno valley. The settlement had a Samnite origin. The Romans rebuilt it as an oppidum, Allifae, with the typical layout based on two mains roads at right angles, that divided it in four parts [1].

Nitrate concentration in groundwater has frequently been linked to non-point pollution. At the same time the existence of intensive agriculture and extremely intensive livestock activity increases the potential for nitrate pollution in shallow groundwater. Nitrate used in agriculture could cause adverse effects on human and animal health. In order to evaluate the groundwater nitrate pollution, and how it might evolve in time, it is essential to develop control sys- tems and to improve policies and incentives aimed at controlling the amount of nitrate entering downstream water sys- tems. The province of Caserta in southern Italy is characterized by high levels of animal manure loading. A compari- son between manure nitrogen production and nitrate concentration in groundwater was carried out in this area, using geostatistical tools and spatial statistics. The results show a discrepancy between modelling of nitrate leaching and mon- itoring of the groundwater and, moreover, no spatial correlation between nitrogen production in livestock farms and nitrate concentration in groundwater, suggesting that producers are not following the regulatory procedures for the agronomic use of manure. The methodology developed in this paper could be applied also in other regions in which European Union fertilization plans are not adequately followed.

  • Initiatives on Mafia Confiscated Assets Summary of Funded Projects
    Initiatives on Mafia Confiscated Assets Summary of Funded Projects Initiatives on Mafia Confiscated Assets PROJECT NAME: Agri-Cultura Solidale PLACE: Teano (Ce) CONTRIBUTION: € 475.000,00 DURATION: 36 months DESCRIPTION: The project was launched on a mafia confiscated property in Teano, a small town on the outskirts of the province of Caserta, which has its own socio-economic agricultural system. Because of the limited ability to adapt to modern systems of labour, Teano experienced a slower economic development and in this way made it possibility for organised crime to impose its control. The asset was confiscated from the Magliulo clan of Afragola, in Naples who took control over the entire sidicino territory, relying on the good relationship with the Casalesi and the Esposito clan from Sessa Aurunca. The confiscated asset, through the commitment of the social cooperative Osiride and the N.C.O. Consortium, became a symbol of legality and reference point for all the young people of the territory that today, see in the confiscated property a job opportunity and social change. The asset is located on a 25 hectares of cultivable land with a building in need of renovation as it has been vandalised numerous times (the irrigation system was destroyed and the olive groves and apple orchards were set on fire). The Project “Agri Cultura”, financed by Fondazione Con il Sud, has a goal to create a socio-economic activity in partnership with vulnerable people, boost olive growing and other agriculture activities and open an olive mill. The pivot of the initiative is job placement of about 13 people affected by chronic diseases and\or degenerative psycho-social disabilities.

The present study reports the cluster analysis of mortality and malformations at municipality level, standardized by socioeconomic dep- RCH rivation index, in an area of the Campania Region characterized by a widespread illegal practice A of dumping toxic and urban waste. Clusters have been observed with significant excess of mortality ESE by lung, liver, gastric, kidney and bladder cancers and of prevalence of total malformations and R malformations of limb, cardiovascular and urogenital system.

  • The Waste Crisis in Campania, Italy
    The Waste Crisis in Campania, Italy By Lucie Greyl, Sara Vegni, Maddalena Natalicchio, Salima Cure and Jessica Ferretti for A Sud ABSTRACT From 1994 to early 2008, the region of Campania in south-west Italy existed under a formal State of Emergency, declared due to the saturation of regional waste treatment facilities. There is growing evidence, including a World Health Organisation (WHO) study of the region, that the accumulation of waste, illegal and legal, urban and industrial, has contaminated soil, water, and the air with a range of toxic pollutants including dioxins. A high correlation between incidences of cancer, respiratory illnesses, and genetic malformations and the presence of industrial and toxic waste landfills was also found. The Government has been unable to resolve this crisis, adopting measures that have only increased public unrest, exacerbating the conflict. Local communities continue to organise and protest, risking arrest in order to be heard by a Government that has so far excluded them from decision- making processes. Meanwhile the management of waste has worsened: from the failure to separate dry from wet waste and the resultant inability to produce compost (necessary for the regeneration of contaminated land) to the continued production of the inaccurately named “ecoballs” that have continued to accumulate due to delays in the construction of incinerators. These delays have necessitated the creation of new stocking areas, the re-opening of old landfills and the creation of new ones. Although Illegal waste management is currently one of the most urgent environmental issues in Italy, public opinion and the media remain silent on the matter.
