SECOND DAY After a hearty breakfast, the BonAria departs towards the island of Cavallo, alongside the islands of Santa Maria, Barrettini, Corcelli, Barrettinelli, to arrive at the foot of the imposing lighthouse of the island of Razzoli that dominates the Bocche di Bonifacio and the island of Piana. A swim in the crystal sea prepares body and soul to the pleasures of lunch on board. In the afternoon, the Yacht heads towards the island of Lavezzi, a natural reserve and marine park since 1972, famous for its rich seabeds populated by the rarest fish species. Then it sets sail again, this time time towards La Maddalena along the turquoise waters and the countless little coves of Spargi and the singular rock formations of Cala Corsara. Docking in the small harbour of La Maddalena allows a quick visit to the small town, for some shopping in the boutiques and small craft shops overlooking the streets of the small town centre. Around seven o’clock in the evening, the BonAria returns to the small harbour of Cannigione.

On land are the faint remains of a small ancient cemetery enveloped in aromas of juniper and mastic; underwater, sea bream dart and chase each other through the posidonia, while sinuous corb fish glide among the vivid colours of the sea-fan corals. Afterwards, the tour stops at the fortified citadel of Bonifacio, with narrow cobblestone alleyways, houses perched on the white limestone cliff and its characteristic artisan shops. Here you can stop for a tasty lunch at La Caravelle, renowned for its seafood dishes from the gulf, or savour a delicate crepe while strolling along the seafront. The final surprise on our return is a spectacular last glimpse of paradise: the incomparable crystalline turquoise waters of Isola Piana. € 2.000,00 - from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm - maximum 2 people The experience includes: private transfer from the hotel to the yacht and back, the skipper, a light aperitif and drinks on board.

  • Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014
    Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 PAGE 1 Economic Survey of North Sardinia 2014 Introduction Through the publication of the Economic Survey of North Sardinia, the Chamber of Commerce of Sassari aims to provide each year an updated and detailed study concerning social and economic aspects in the provinces of Sassari and Olbia-Tempio and, more generally, in Sardinia . This survey is addressed to all the entrepreneurs and institutions interested in the local economy and in the potential opportunities offered by national and foreign trade. Indeed, this analysis takes into account the essential aspects of the entrepreneurial activity (business dynamics, agriculture and agro-industry, foreign trade, credit, national accounts, manufacturing and services, etc…). Moreover, the analysis of the local economy, compared with regional and national trends, allows to reflect on the future prospects of the territory and to set up development projects. This 16th edition of the Survey is further enriched with comments and a glossary, intended to be a “guide” to the statistical information. In data-processing, sources from the Chamber Internal System – especially the Business Register – have been integrated with data provided by public institutions and trade associations. The Chamber of Commerce wishes to thank them all for their collaboration. In the last years, the Chamber of North Sardinia has been editing and spreading a version of the Survey in English, in order to reach all the main world trade operators. International operators willing to invest in this area are thus supported by this Chamber through this deep analysis of the local economy.

    Scripta Herpetologica. Studies on Amphibians and Reptiles in honour of Benedetto Lanza: pp. 55-62, 2014 New data on the herpetofauna of the National Park “Arcipelago di La Maddalena” (NE Sardinia, Italy) Claudia Corti 1*, Marta Biaggini 1, Michel Delaugerre 2, Pietro Lo Cascio 1,3 1 Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze, Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” Via Romana 17, 50125 Firenze, Italy 2 Conservatoire du Littoral 3, Résidence Saint Marc - Rue du Juge Falcone, 20200 Bastia, France 3 Associazione Nesos - Via Vittorio Emanuele 24, 98055 Lipari (ME), Italy * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The data available on the herpetofauna of the Archipelago della Maddalena are mainly based on investigations carried out during the 1980’s by the Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” of the Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università di Firenze. Such records have not been specifically updated successively. Here field data on the composition and distribution of the herpetofauna of the Archipelago are presented, with particular attention to the micro-insular areas for which no bibliographic data were available. Between 2011 and 2012 a total of 51 islands and islets have been visited: new records have been gained for 15 islands and islets already studied in past while on 4 the herpetofauna has been recorded for the first time. The lack of herpetofauna on 9 islets and rocks seemingly never previously studied has been reported too. Keywords. Herpetofauna, Mediterranean Islands, La Maddalena Archipelago. INTRODUCTION The present knowledge on the herpetofauna of the Archipelago della Mad- dalena is mainly based on the results of investigations carried out during the 1980s by the Museo di Storia Naturale dell’Università degli Studi di Firenze, Sezione di Zoologia “La Specola” under the direction of Benedetto Lanza and in the frame- work of a national research-project focused on the flora and fauna of the Sardinian satellite islands.

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.

  • 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).

The La Mad- Email: [email protected] dalena Archipelago that is the more complex of the studied island groups, showed the highest genetic diversity, while we detected decreasing genetic diversity in Editor: Jean-Nicolas Volff island groups with lower number of islands and elevation. The genetic imprint we Associate Editor: Simon Baeckens found seems to have been shaped by eustatic changes occurred in the Mediter- ranean basin during Mid-Pleistocene times.
