  • AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
    AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties.

The recent unrest at Panarea, coeval to that of nearby Stromboli, may also be explained by the structural context, as both volcanoes lie along the portion of the Arc subject to extension.

In particular, sports events that have proven to play a key role in a city’s brand image, in the development of its tourist attractiveness or its economic development in the broad sense. However, in recent years, a new trend has emerged: incubators and accelerators dedicated to sports technology. Their ability to connect two worlds – sport and innovation – give cities the opportunity to create new jobs, attract new talents and develop the local economy. These are just a few examples of the benefits they can bring to a city. www.smartcitiesandsport.org Sports incubators and accelerators are both designed to accelerate the growth and success of young entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services.

  • Food Heritage and Nationalism in Europe
    Chapter 4 Food and locality Heritagization and commercial use of the past Paolo Capuzzo Geographical roots of food? Identifying a food culture with a locality has always involved a trade-off between searching for roots and recognizing they are not planted in any one spot but entail exchanges and borrowings from remote origins. But even this tension between the local and the supralocal is a simplification: it rests on the assumption that food cultures can be identified by place alone. Actually, highly different food regimes may be at work in one and the same place, and have been so in the past. Class stratification may afford a first prism dividing up food culture domains, but it then interweaves with gender, religious observance, ethnic belonging and so on. Does this mean that any attempt to find a relationship between food and place is a waste of effort? No, indeed: such a relationship can definitely be established. But one does need a critical analysis of the various factors bearing on the link between food and place, since they are cultural and historical constructs rather than causal connections between milieus in nature/history and food cultures. A cuisine rich in victuals of different kinds, prepared from a wide range of ingredients at times exotic in provenance, was typical of the food culture found in the courts of Europe from the late Middle Ages to the early modern era; the diet of the people was more closely locally connected, perforce. For most of the population poverty dictated the choice of diet. A plentiful cosmopolitan cuisine reigned at court (Montanari 2014); it was garnished with rare and exotic ingredients indicating wealth, though also a background of culture deriving from greater familiarity with distant lands.

  • Sicilian Americans Have Something to Say, in Sicilian
    Sicilian Americans Have Something to Say, in Sicilian Every Wednesday night, a small group of students gather for their language course at the Italian Charities of America Inc. in Flushing, Queens. Ironically, the students are not interested in learning Italian, but a separate language that arrived during the wave of Italian immigration to New York City. These students are the children and grandchildren of Sicilian immigrants. “We only write the phrases on the board in Sicilian, not in Italian, so that is what stays in our memories after class,” says Salvatore Cottone, teacher of the Sicilian language class. On the chalkboard, Cottone has written, “Dumani Marialena sinni va cu zitu.” If he were to compare it to Italian, it would say “Marialena andrà con il suo ragazzo.” It would not help the students to observe the ways that one language relates to the other; they are completely separate in form, construction, and syntax. Sicilian and Italian are both audibly and visibly diverse. To note a few examples, Sicilian uses different vowel sounds, relying on a long “u” rather than the “o” as in “trenu” (train) and “libbru” (book) instead of “treno” and “libro.” There is no future tense verb conjugation; instead, context words such as tomorrow, “dumani,” and later, “doppu,” are used to indicate that the action will take place in the future. The cadence and pronunciation of Sicilian also demonstrate obvious differences from the standard Italian. Scholars have found that Sicilian was the first written language in Italy after Latin. Declared by UNESCO as the first romance language of Europe, Sicilian contains a unique vocabulary of over 250,000 words.
