  • Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia
    Urban Planning in the Greek Colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia (8th – 6th centuries BCE) An honors thesis for the Department of Classics Olivia E. Hayden Tufts University, 2013 Abstract: Although ancient Greeks were traversing the western Mediterranean as early as the Mycenaean Period, the end of the “Dark Age” saw a surge of Greek colonial activity throughout the Mediterranean. Contemporary cities of the Greek homeland were in the process of growing from small, irregularly planned settlements into organized urban spaces. By contrast, the colonies founded overseas in the 8th and 6th centuries BCE lacked any pre-existing structures or spatial organization, allowing the inhabitants to closely approximate their conceptual ideals. For this reason the Greek colonies in Sicily and Magna Graecia, known for their extensive use of gridded urban planning, exemplified the overarching trajectory of urban planning in this period. Over the course of the 8th to 6th centuries BCE the Greek cities in Sicily and Magna Graecia developed many common features, including the zoning of domestic, religious, and political space and the implementation of a gridded street plan in the domestic sector. Each city, however, had its own peculiarities and experimental design elements. I will argue that the interplay between standardization and idiosyncrasy in each city developed as a result of vying for recognition within this tight-knit network of affluent Sicilian and South Italian cities. This competition both stimulated the widespread adoption of popular ideas and encouraged the continuous initiation of new trends. ii Table of Contents: Abstract. …………………….………………………………………………………………….... ii Table of Contents …………………………………….………………………………….…….... iii 1.

  • The Duchess Guide
    DISCOVER ITALIA! The Duchess Guide In his quest for the ultimate Sicily itinerary, James Miller decided to consult one of the island’s noble ambassadors, Nicoletta Polo, the Duchess of Palma isiting somewhere as special as Sicily can present a dilemma as there are so many guide books and television programmes covering the Mediterranean’s most majestic island. You can either find yourself spoilt for choice or totally bewildered when Vconsidering what to see and do. And no trip to Sicily should be squandered by not having prepared an amazing itinerary of activities to enjoy. An enviable problem I’ll confess, but one I intended to solve nevertheless, so I met with one of the island’s most prominent and cultured ambassadors; a lady who can offer the ‘discerning’ visitor an insight into the true Sicily and its captivating appeal, the Duchess of Palma, Nicoletta Polo. Nicoletta and I are old friends from my previous adventures in 1. Ortigia First on the list was Ortigia. Nicoletta Polo Lanza Tomasi, Duchess Sicily and whenever I return to see her I’m welcomed with such “I adore Ortigia,” Nicoletta of Palma di Montechiaro warmth it’s like visiting a kind and benevolent aunt, although warmly expressed her I don’t boast such lofty connections with my own family as sentiments about this small Nicoletta is an Italian noblewoman.

The town of Agrigento and the surrounding Valley of Temples represents a place of world importance because of the historical, archaeological and artistic value of their monuments. Since ancient time the town planning expansion of Agrigento has been controlled by the particular geological set up of the area and the repeated and extensive instability phenomena The safeguard of this precious cultural heritage is seriously threatened by slope failures including falls, rock topples and rock slides involving the calcarenitic outcrops. While rotational and translational slides occur when failures develop in the clay and sandy-silt soils below the calcarenitic levels, involving wide areas. This paper explains the geological and structural set up, the geotechnical aspects and man-made factors that exert major influence on this phenomena, on the stability of the area and on the basal foundation of the temples, above all of the Juno Temple. Key terms: Slope stability, Clay, Biocalcarenite, Cultural heritage, Agrigento, Italy Introduction valley below, today known as the Valley of the Temples. A mighty boundary wall has existed to defend the city since its The town of Agrigento is set in a physically fragile foundation, today considerable remains of it can be found environment between unstable slopes and ancient structures along its course.

However, subsequent refinements, such as coating the balls in breadcrumbs to make them easily portable, have given the savoury snacks a distinctly Sicilian twist—so much so that no visit to the island is complete without a taste of a crunchy, golden arancino.

    Question for written answer E-006801/2015/rev.1 to the Commission Rule 130 Ignazio Corrao (EFDD), Daniela Aiuto (EFDD), Fabio Massimo Castaldo (EFDD) and Dario Tamburrano (EFDD) Subject: Protecting the objectives of the National Operational Programme (NOP) and Regional Operational Programme (ROP) 2014-2020 'Infrastructure and networks' now that the A19 motorway in Sicily is impracticable The A19 Palermo-Catania motorway is classified as European road E932 and links European roads E90 and E45. The A19, inaugurated in 1975, has made it much faster to travel from Palermo to Catania, thus ending the isolation of inland Sicily. The A19 has not substantially changed since it was first opened, because no major upgrading has ever been carried out. The structural failure of the Himera viaduct on the A19 is the latest in a long series of adverse events. In January, the Scorciavacche bridge – which had only been inaugurated a week earlier – collapsed on the main road to Agrigento. Last summer the Petrulla viaduct collapsed on the main road between Licata and Canicattì. On that occasion four motorists were injured. After inspecting the Himera viaduct, the Italian Minister for Infrastructure said that it would take years to rebuild the 300 metres of motorway and five pillars, while ANAS (the national highways authority) speculates that EUR 30 million will be needed to restore the viaduct. Since the cohesion policy and the ERDF National Operational Programme and Regional Operational Programme for Sicily (2014-2020) base their strategy for achieving the objectives (set out in the relevant regulations) on existing strategic infrastructure, will the Commission take note of the need to provide adequate resources to safeguard the above-mentioned policies and will it take action with a view to restoring the A19? 1059693.EN PE 556.749 .

  • The Evolution of Rural and Urban Settlement in Sicily from Prehistory to Late Antiquity
    The evolution of rural and urban settlement in Sicily from Prehistory to Late Antiquity 5 June – 6 June 2015 A 2-day workshop hosted by the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh Organised by Dr Peter Morton, Prof. John Bintliff, and Dr Robert Leighton Recent work on Sicily has revitalised the study of Sicilian urbanism from prehistory down to late antiquity. This work has ignited debate about the development of urbanism in Sicily and its relationship to rural settlement across history and between cultures. It has become clear that complex questions remain about how we combine analyses of urban centres with their rural hinterlands, and how the development of these two areas is interconnected. The combination of data and analyses from diverse geographical areas and chronological periods remains central to our understanding of historical change in Sicily from prehistory to the late Roman period. This workshop will bring together scholars working on the development of urban and rural settlement in Sicily from prehistory to late antiquity. This workshop includes experienced and early career researchers, who will present work-in-progress on this topic, and the workshop provides a unique opportunity for scholars from several major projects based in the USA, Italy, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands to exchange ideas and information directly with one another. There will be twelve papers in six sessions spread across one and half days. Each speaker is allocated 50 minutes for paper delivery and ensuing discussion. Programme Each paper is followed by 20 minutes of discussion. June 5th 14:30 – 15:00 – Welcome reception and coffee 15:00 – 15:30 – Johannes Bergemann (Goettingen) – Monti Sicani.
