A Network Committed to the Promotion of Unexpected Places of Historical, Cultural, and Environemental Importance in the Unesco World Heritage Sites Introduction A NETWORK COMMITTED TO THE PROMOTION OF UNEXPECTED PLACES OF HISTORICAL, CULTURAL, AND ENVIRONEMENTAL IMPORTANCE IN THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES INTRODUCTION A journey through an array of Italian gems, classified as UNESCO heritage sites, and at the same time an exploration “ of the beautiful and delicious products of our country, aptly promoting an abundance of wealth which is not always sufficiently appreciated. The spirit and objectives of Mirabilia are found in this “simple” proposal, namely the setting up of a network of as yet little-known UNESCO sites and together with them local areas with their own characteristics and histories. A unique and outstanding “package” of offers that links places, histories, traditions and different products from the North to the South of Italy. All very different realities, which, thanks to the Mirabilia network and to 16 Chambers of Commerce, are experi- menting with a new way of marketing themselves. Whilst the individual destination may be of outstanding value worldwide, it is the entire local area along with its tourism facilities and its hospitality that is enhanced and linked to other places and destinations belonging to the Mirabilia network. This year the International Tourism Exhibition and Mirabilia Food&Drink are taking place in the beautiful town of Matera, the European Capital of Culture, where the idea of the Chamber of Commerce network of UNESCO sites was conceived in 2012. Once again, for the 8th consecutive year, local entrepreneurs working in the tourism sector and selected buyers co- ming from around 30 foreign countries will meet in Matera to seize the unique opportunity to meet up and establish useful economic relations for local development. Mirabilia Food&Drink, which specifically targets the agro-food sector, will take place on the same day as the Interna- tional Exhibition of Tourism. Organised in partnership with the Italian Trade Agency, this event is reserved for Italian entrepreneurs of the sector and has been designed to promote and increase appreciation of another Made in Italy symbol - the Mediterranean diet. This initiative is a great opportunity for the country and for companies alike and the Chambers of Commerce, as the last mile for businesses, will support them in connecting national and regional policies with local production systems, thus enhancing expertise in tourism and culture. ” Carlo Sangalli Presidente Unioncamere mirabilianetwork.eu ABOUT US It is a project born in 2012.

UNESCO included Castel del Monte in its World Heritage Sites List in 1996. The reason why Castel del Monte was included is “its exceptional universal value, which is shown by the perfection of its architecture... A unique medieval ar- chitectural masterpiece, which symbolizes the humanism of its founder: Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor”. In that same year, the Bari area and its beauty were honou- red again by UNESCO.

From the Romanesque to the Renaissance and then the Baroque, eight centuries of building and enhancing the city, in an attempt to shape it and overcome the natural “opposition” of the pre-existing cave dwellings, thereby cre- ating architecture and urban solutions which are absolutely unique. Human settlements in Matera date back to old times. The original centre of the city was, and still is today, made up of the Civita, where, on each side, in the two karst hollows, the marvellous Sassi developed. These groupings of dwellings became so complex that they eventually covered the slopes entirely, giving rise to one of the most incredible organised urban structures ever created in the world. A work of genius showcasing humanity’s ability to adapt and survive despite environmental difficulties. Matera is the European Capital of Culture 2019. With its 192,000 hectares, the Pollino National Park is the largest National park in Italy.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places.

  • 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.

Cic. De fin. 5,5 In seiner 1795 erschienenen Abhandlung Über naive und sentimen- talische Dichtung unterschied Friedrich von Schiller den mit der Natur in Einklang lebenden, den ‚naiven' Dichter (und Menschen) und den aus der Natur herausgetretenen, sich aber nach ihr zurücksehnenden, den ,sentimentalischen` Dichter (und Menschen). Der Dichter ist nach Schil- ler entweder Natur, oder er wird sie suchen. Im großen und ganzen war mit dieser Unterscheidung die verschiedene Ausprägung der griechischen und der modernen Dichtung gemeint. Schiller hat richtig gesehen, daß die Römer im Hinblick auf diese Definition den Modernen zuzuordnen sind': Horaz, der Dichter eines kultivierten und verdorbenen Weltalters, preist die ruhige Glückseligkeit in seinem Tibur, und ihn könnte man als den wahren Stifter dieser Diese Betrachtungen bilden zusammen mit den Plinius-Studien I-III (die in den Lite- raturhinweisen aufgeführt sind) eine Tetralogie zu Plinius' ästhetischer Naturauffas- sung. Dieses Thema ist hiermit abgeschlossen. [Inzwischen ist das interessante Buch von H. Mielsch, Die römische Villa. Architektur und Lebensform, München 1987, erschienen, in dem einiges zur Sprache kommt, was in dieser Tetralogie behandelt wird.] Auch in diesem Fall wurden die Briefe als eigenständige Kunstwerke ernst- genommen und jeweils als Ganzes der Interpretation zugrundegelegt.

Robert Macpherson (Edimburgo, 1814/15 - Roma, 1872) è riconosciuto come uno dei maggiori protagonisti della storia della fotografia in Italia. Inizia la sua attività fotografica nel 1851-52. A partire dal 1857 pubblica cataloghi della sua produzione di soggetti fotografici, sostanzialmente per aggiunte progressive. Quello del 1871 può essere considerato sostanzialmente riassuntivo della produzione da lui offerta in vendita attraverso i cataloghi, anche se non manca, nel confronto con i cataloghi precedenti, qualche variazione e sostituzione. Il catalogo comprende 420 soggetti. In una nota alla fine del catalogo si avverte che: 1) le stampe fotografiche sono tutte montate su supporto, sul quale è impresso il timbro a secco dell’autore e che esse sono in vendita esclusivamente presso l’atelier di Macpherson al N. 12 del Vicolo D’Alibert, Via del Babuino, presso Piazza di Spagna; 2) ai soggetti contrassegnati da un asterisco corrisponde un formato orizzontale; 3) in aggiunta ai soggetti elencati esiste un volume di 134 fotografie di sculture conservate in Vaticano; 4) è in preparazione un altro volume dedicato a una selezione di 280 sculture conservate nel Museo Capitolino. Un esame del catalogo consente di stabilire che esso comprende un numero di soggetti diversificati come segue (tenendo presente che non sempre è possibile distinguere nettamente tra veduta, dearchitettura e dettaglio di architettura): Vedute di Roma: 56 Vedute di dintorni di Roma: 13 Architetture di Roma: 51; dettagli di architetture di Roma : 16 Vedute e architetture del Lazio: 45 Vedute e architetture dell’Umbria: 31 Vedute di Capri: 1 Vedute di Ancona: 3 Sculture: 81 Riproduzioni di pitture e opere grafiche: 15 Numeri di catalogo senza legenda: 96 È da segnalare che di molti dei soggetti elencati nel catalogo sono state individuate una o più varianti.
