Previous papers widely discussed the integrated stratigraphy (calcareous nannofossils, sapropel stratigraphy, benthic and planktonic oxygen stable isotopes) and the paleoenvironmental features of this section and its potential suitability for the selection of the Middle Pleistocene Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP). In this study, new planktonic d18O data, additional biostratigraphical constraints and new tephrochronology on volcaniclastic layers occurring within the studied record are reported. The new chronostratigraphic framework provides a robust base for correlation of the oxygen isotope stratigraphy for the Montalbano Jonico section with the glacial and interglacial fluctuations of the Oceanic and Mediterranean d18O reference deep-sea records. Specifically, the lower part of the Montalbano Jonico section (Interval A) provides correlation of the planktonic and benthic d18O cycles to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 36 to MIS 23. Interval A includes a distinct peak of left-coiled neo- globoquadrinids, the Globoratalia crassaformis influx, the First Occurrence of Gephyrocapsa omega, and the First Common Occurrence and Last Common Occurrence of Reticulofenestra asanoi. These stratigraphical constraints support the tuning of five sapropel layers included in this part of the section to insolation cycles i-112, i-104, i-102, i-90 and i-86. The upper part of the section (Interval B), which includes the temporary disappearance (td2) of G. omega and tephra layer V5, Ar/Ar age dated at 719.5 Æ 12.6 ka, is consistent with identification of MIS 22 to MIS 16 in the planktonic d18O pattern. The d18O time series of the whole section was reconstructed using the midpoints of individual sapropels and their correlative precession minima, visual comparison of the d18O pattern with the record available at the Mediterranean ODP Site 975, and, in the upper part of the section, the Ar/Ar age of tephra V5. The developed astronomical tuning revealed that the Montalbano Jonico section covers an interval from 1240 ka to 645 ka. A significant change in sedi- mentation rate occurs between Intervals A (0.53 m/ky) and Interval B (0.91 m/ky) at about 870 ka and is consistent with a sea-level drop from a bathyal to a circalittoral environment. Bioevents recognised in the Montalbano Jonico section have been dated according to the astronomical calibration, and age assign- ments of tephra V1–V4 and V6–V9 are also proposed. The Montalbano Jonico section fills the gap between the top of the Vrica section and the base of the Ionian informal Middle Pleistocene stage, and represents a Mediterranean reference section for the Mid-Pleistocene transition.

Received: 28 December 2018; Accepted: 5 March 2019; Published: 8 March 2019 Abstract: Both Southern Italy and Central China feature historic rural settlements characterized by underground constructions with residential and service functions. Many of these areas are currently tackling economic, social and environmental problems, resulting in unemployment, disengagement, depopulation, marginalization or loss of cultural and biological diversity. Both in Europe and in China, policies for rural development address three core areas of intervention: agricultural competitiveness, environmental protection and the promotion of rural amenities through strengthening and diversifying the economic base of rural communities. The challenge is to create innovative pathways for regeneration based on raising awareness to inspire local rural communities to develop alternative actions to reduce poverty while preserving the unique aspects of their local environment and culture. In this view, cultural heritage can be a catalyst for the sustainable growth of the rural community.

Quello di Matera e della sua provincia è senz’altro un territorio mosaico a cominciare dal suo aspetto geografico: in pochi chilometri si passa dal litorale marino con le sue spiagge di fine sabbia dorata alle montagne, intervallate da un paesaggio scandito da dolci colline e dai tanti paesi arroccati sulle vette e sulle creste calanchive. Qui la mente va immediatamente alle innumerevoli sequenze cinema- tografiche realizzate. Il viaggiatore che si ferma nella nostra provincia scoprirà uno scrigno di tesori, in buo- na parte ancora nascosti, un patrimonio storico – naturalistico di inestimabile valore. La nostra provincia non è solo questo, è anche folcklore ed eventi, ricchissimi cartelli con appuntamenti jazz, musica classica, sagre e feste religiose e tanto tracking naturalistico fino ad appagare il palato con i piatti genuini della nostra fertile terra. In questa terra l’ospitalità è di casa; la naturale accoglienza della civiltà contadina per- mette una lunga vacanza senza sentirsi straniero, lontani dagli sguardi indiscreti del tu- rismo di massa. Welcome in the province of Matera, witness of the man’s birth from the Stone Age to nowadays.

  • Wildlife Agriculture Interactions, Spatial Analysis and Trade-Off Between Environmental Sustainability and Risk of Economic Damage
    Wildlife Agriculture Interactions, Spatial Analysis and Trade-Off Between Environmental Sustainability and Risk of Economic Damage Mario Cozzi, Severino Romano, Mauro Viccaro, Carmelina Prete, and Giovanni Persiani Abstract Over the last few years, wildlife damages to the agricultural sector have shown an increasing trend at the global scale. Fragile rural areas are more likely to suffer because marginal lands, which have little potential for profit, are being increasingly abandoned. Moreover, public administrations have difficulties to meet the growing requests for crop damage compensations. There is therefore a need to identify appropriate measures to control this growing trend. The specific aim of this research is to understand this phenomenon and define specific and effective action tools. In particular, the proposed research involves different steps that start from the historic analysis of damages and result in the mapping of risk levels using different tests (ANOVA, PCA and spatial correlation) and spatial models (MCE-OWA). The subsequent possibility to cluster risk results ensures greater effectiveness of public actions. The results obtained and the statistical consistency of applied parameters ensure the strength of the analysis and of cost- effectiveness parameters. 1 Introduction Dealing with problems related to the damages caused by wildlife to the agricultural sector involves environmental and socioeconomic sustainability issues associated with the management of natural resources. If, on one hand, farmers are suffering due to the damages caused to crops, on the other, hunters push towards the growth of wild fauna populations for having greater hunting opportunities. This has led to conflicting interests in many European (Wenum et al. 2003; Calenge et al.

    FACT SHEET ADDRESS: Palazzo Margherita Corso Umberto 64 75012 Bernalda (MT) Italy WEBSITE: www.palazzomargherita.com PHONE: Phone: +39 0835 549060 Fax: +39 0835 548947 RESERVATIONS: Please email [email protected] LOCATION: Palazzo Margherita is situated in Bernalda, a small hilltop town in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. Located in the province of Matera, which is famous for its ancient cave dwellings, dramatic landscapes and historic houses, Bernalda is relatively unknown outside of Italy. It is just ten minutes from the coast, where miles of white sand beaches border the Ionian Sea, as this part of the Mediterranean is known. While the neighboring region of Puglia has become popular with tourists, Bernalda remains largely undiscovered—one of a few remaining parts of Italy where the culture, food and wine remain authentic and untouched by the world beyond. The townspeople offer a genuine hospitality that makes every visitor feel more like a friend or neighbor than a tourist. It is said that anyone who visits Bernalda cannot resist returning. HISTORY: Palazzo Margherita, a true 19th century palazzo, was built in 1892 in Bernalda by the Margherita family. The town was the birthplace and home to Agostino Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola’s grandfather, who always affectionately referred to it as “Bernalda bella.” The small town holds a special place in the family history, which is what drew Francis to first visit it in the 1960’s. He acquired the Palazzo in 2005. The surrounding countryside, which was settled by the Greeks before the Roman Empire, is part of the Hellenic Magna Graecia—the coastal areas of Southern Italy—where the thriving local agriculture produces sumptuous fruits and vegetables, as well as the Aglianico grapes used to make wines of the same name.
