Horace was born in Basilicata, in Venosa Little discussed for the next 1000 years until 17th century when wines from Melfi were mentioned. Melfi is on the border of Campania and Puglia 1 2/13/2020 More Recent History Melfi mentioned in the 19th Century as the hub of Lucan viticulture During the 20th century, other areas were also mentioned Some grape varieties from different areas in Italy arrived after Italian Unification Yet Basilicata remained largely isolated from other regions Vulture became an important area. Volcano last exploded 40,000 years ago Most wines were consumed locally and were ready to drink wines not made for long aging. Basilicata was a poor region and sparsely populated as well. Emigration hasn’t help either and continues to this day Main industry is tourism and agriculture Geography Mountainous region (47%) The three main peaks dotted across the region are Monte Pollino at 2238m (7375ft), Monte Sirino at 2005m (6578ft) and the extinct volcano Monte Vulture at 1326m (4350ft). Two lakes inside the Volcanic crater Hilly (45%) The only flat land is around the town of Metaponto, a Greek settlement where some think Aglianico made it’s first appearance Lucan Apennines run down the middle of the region Geography Basilicata is one of Italy’s lesser known regions for its wines and its cultural traditions. It is one of the least densely populated regions, 19th out of 20 regions in terms of population density, 18th of 20 in terms of population numbers, 14th out of 20 in terms of its’ territory.

Main grape variety in Falernian – the famous wine from Campania that they drank during the Roman Era Planted in Southern Italy – Campania, Basilicata, Molise and Puglia Trained low to the ground Small and compact bunches, thick skinned and rich in color, tannin, acidity and extract Late ripening variety, mid October to early November Intense, full bodied wines with noticeable tannins and acidity and moderate to high alcohol Aromas: spice, earth, floral and sometimes gamey Wood aging generally chestnut but some producers are using French oak Aglianico Campania V Basilicata Aglianico from Campania and from Vulture are the same variety, albeit not exact the same due to intravarietal variation. Three major biotypes – Taurasi, Taburno and del Vulture. Taurasi has the smallest berries and is the most floral. Taburno larger bunches and ripens earlier. Vulture has the most fruit and mineral concentration Long hot summer days give darkest wines with noticeable violet aromas Most producers from Vulture grow all three biotypes Aglianicone is another variety all together Grows well at altitude Has an affinity with Volcanic soils, complex smoky notes 6 2/13/2020 Grape Varieties: Malvasia Bianca di Basilicata c Belongs to the Malvasia family of grapes Name comes from Monevasia, the town in Greece in the Peloponnese where sweet wines were produced which were exported to Europe by the Venetians Malavasia became a generic name for this family of grape varieties Malvasia Bianca di Basilicata is similar to Malvasia Aromatica di Candia Considered one of the Malvasie Aromatiche Largely used in blends, brings acidity and fragrance Small, white berry, waxy green skin, medium size bunch Ripens in Mid-September Grape Varieties: Malvasia Nera di Basilicata This red grape variety tends to be used as a blending grape rather than as a monovarietal. It brings aromatics, alcohol and acidity to the blend. It grow around the cities of Matera and Potenza. It is part of the Grottino di Roccanova DOC, which was given that designation in 2009.

Gitzinger (team leader) Mr E. Henrich Mr. E. Hrnecek Mr. A. Ryan Reference: IT-11/06 INTRODUCTION Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty requires that each Member State shall establish facilities necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in air, water and soil and to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards (1). Article 35 also gives the European Commission (EC) the right of access to such facilities in order that it may verify their operation and efficiency. For the EC, the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) and in particular its Radiation Protection Unit (at the time of the visit ENER.D.4, now ENER.D.3) is responsible for undertaking these verifications. The main purpose of verifications performed under Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty is to provide an independent assessment of the adequacy of monitoring facilities for: - Liquid and airborne discharges of radioactivity into the environment by a site (and control thereof). - Levels of environmental radioactivity at the site perimeter and in the marine, terrestrial and aquatic environment around the site, for all relevant pathways. - Levels of environmental radioactivity on the territory of the Member State. Taking into account previous bilateral protocols, a Commission Communication has been published in the Official Journal on 4 July 2006 with a view to define some practical arrangements for the conduct of Article 35 verification visits in Member States.

Eddy: Climate in Greco-Roman History Climate in oreco-Roman History samuel K. Eddy have recently completed some research which originally I aimed only at answering a small question. But success in this soon led to conclusions about the causes of the collapse of classical civilization itself. For a long time I had been interested in a series of Greek inscriptions which records the amounts of money paid to Athens each year during the third quarter of the fifth century B.C. by over one hundred subject allies. Two princi­ ples clearly governed the exact sums demanded: First, each state paid a round amount of money, such as one talent or some simple fraction of a talent like one-half, which was around three thousand drachms. Second, the obligation did not change, as a rule, during the entire quarter century. If it did, the change took place only at the start of one of the quadrennial periods of assessment and then remained constant for the four years.

    MY HEART SINGS TO ME: Song as the Memory of Language in the Arbëresh Community of Chieuti Sara Jane Bell A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Curriculum in Folklore.
