  • Announcement EBEA Erice Course 2016
    Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture (President: prof. Antonino Zichichi) EBI International School of Bioelectromagnetics “Alessandro Chiabrera” Director of the School: prof. Ferdinando Bersani (University of Bologna, Italy) The Centre for Scientific Culture in Erice (Sicily, Italy) is named after the great Italian scientist Ettore Majorana. Antonino Zichichi, the President of the Centre, has said: “At Erice, those who come in order to follow a certain School are called ‘students’, but actually they are young people who have successfully completed their University studies and who come to Erice in order to learn what the new problems are. However, what is distinctive for Erice is the spirit animating all participants: students no less than teachers. The prime objective is to learn. The student listens to the lectures and after that comes the most amusing part: the discussion session.” Topics in Bioelectromagnetics have come to Erice many times in the past, especially in the 1980s, with international courses and workshops on non-ionising radiation, and today many participants of those courses contribute greatly to the development of this research field. Following the request of the European Bioelectromagnetics Association (EBEA) and the Inter-University Centre for the study of the Interaction between Electromagnetic Fields and Biosystems (ICEmB), in 2003 the Ettore Majorana Centre has established a Permanent School of Bioelectromagnetics, named after Alessandro Chiabrera, who is considered as a master by the young

  • Southern and Western Sicily, from Siracusa to Erice
    Southern and western Sicily, from Siracusa to Erice Sicily is unique and the challenge with organising any visit here is not what to include but what to leave out! After offering our wonderful “Palermo to Taormina tour” through central and northern Sicily, we have finally decided to branch out and explore the ‘other’ Sicily: the remarkable south and west. The first four nights of the tour are in Siracusa. We then drive to Agrigento for two nights before taking a boat to the Egadi Islands, a small archipelago off the western coast where we stay for the next four days. Back on the mainland, the finale is two nights in a lovely new hotel on the edge of Lo Zingaro, Sicily’s first national park. Highlights include: wandering through the lanes and squares of Siracusa; rambling through the gorgeous Anapra Valley; exploring the extraordinary icing-sugar Baroque towns of the south-east; an aperitif on our hotel terrace in Agrigento watching the sun set over the Valley of the Temples; walking along the endless miles of warm sand of the southern beaches; enjoying the dynamic North African heritage of western Sicily; a picnic lunch on-board a private boat on the Egadi Islands; walking along the spectacular coast line of Sicily’s first national park; our visit to silent, misty Erice; and, of course, the Sicilian people themselves! The walks: The walks on this tour follow well marked trails along good paths over generally undulating countryside. They are a combination of coastal and country walks and range from 9 kilometres to 14 kilometres and take 2.5 to 4 hours not including breaks.

  • THE PLEASURES of WESTERN SICILY TOUR We Are Delighted To
    SECRET ITALIA TOURS Unique Small group tours since 2008 THE PLEASURES OF WESTERN SICILY TOUR We are delighted to feature a unique small group tours to discover the spicy Western Sicily : The Pleasures of Western Sicily. Sicily may be Italian, but the islanders are Latin only by adoption. The greatest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily was for centuries the centre of the known world. Its geographic position made it vulnerable to attacks by foreigners, but also a meeting place of civilisations, a bridge between East and West. Sicily is an island with a unique identity and rich historical past. A melting pot of different cultures, traditions and architectural styles as well as beautiful landscapes and a coastline, which is home to some of Italy’s most stunning beaches. The most African of the island’s landscapes, the North West saw a cultural melting pot of Phoenicians, Greeks and Arabs settling in Sicily. Their stamp remains. Incontestably some of the island’s most charismatic ancient sites are also to be found in the West, the Greek temple and theater in Segesta, surrounded by rolling meadowland and the Phoenecian site on the island of Mozia, just off Marsala. Selinunte’s Doric columns are special too, as is the Phoenician ruin of Solunto, perched on the slopes of Montecatalfano. But be prepared for contrast. From the vibrant port town of Trapani you can take a boat across to Sicily’s captivating Egadi islands or a cable car which whisks you up into the medieval walled town of Erice where you can almost feel that you have been transported to Tuscany.

    BORN IN THE MEDITERRANEAN: Alicia Vicente,3 Ma Angeles´ Alonso,3 and COMPREHENSIVE TAXONOMIC Manuel B. Crespo3* REVISION OF BISCUTELLA SER. BISCUTELLA (BRASSICACEAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYLOGENETIC DATA1,2 ABSTRACT Biscutella L. ser. Biscutella (5 Biscutella ser. Lyratae Malin.) comprises mostly annual or short-lived perennial plants occurring in the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East, which exhibit some diagnostic floral features. Taxa in the series have considerable morphological plasticity, which is not well correlated with clear geographic or ecologic patterns. Traditional taxonomic accounts have focused on a number of vegetative and floral characters that have proved to be highly variable, a fact that contributed to taxonomic inflation mostly in northern Africa. A detailed study and re-evaluation of morphological characters, together with recent phylogenetic data based on concatenation of two plastid and one nuclear region sequence data, yielded the basis for a taxonomic reappraisal of the series. In this respect, a new comprehensive integrative taxonomic arrangement for Biscutella ser. Biscutella is presented in which 10 taxa are accepted, namely seven species and three additional varieties. The name B. eriocarpa DC. is reinterpreted and suggested to include the highest morphological variation found in northern Morocco. Its treatment here accepts two varieties, one of which is described as new (B. eriocarpa var. riphaea A. Vicente, M. A.´ Alonso & M. B. Crespo). In addition, the circumscriptions of several species, such as B. boetica Boiss. & Reut., B. didyma L., B. lyrata L., and B. maritima Ten., are revisited. Nomenclatural types, synonymy, brief descriptions, cytogenetic data, conservation status, distribution maps, and identification keys are included for the accepted taxa, with seven lectotypes and one epitype being designated here.

  • Master Thesis M.Bratell Final Post Exam Edits
    The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily Michael Bratell Department of Historical Studies University of Gothenburg Master’s thesis in Archaeology Spring term 2020 Supervisor: Tove Hjørungdal The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily Abstract Bratell, M. 2020. The Site of an Unidentified Greek Settlement? New Surveys in Coda Volpe on Eastern Sicily. Essay in Archaeology, 30 higher educational credits. Department of Historical Studies, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. This study examines Greek colonisation’s potential for archaeology in relation to Coda Volpe district on eastern Sicily where necropoleis indicate the existence of unidentified both Greek and Roman settlements. Recent initial surveys near the Simeto delta suggests the location of a periphery, without any previous systematic study, prospecting or geophysical survey. As landscapes are discursively constructed along established theories, locating peripheries can yield new dimensions between material and landscape; i.e., topographical reconstruction, analysis of ancient sources and Archaic sites, and after comparison with recent studies such as for identifying poleis using an interdisciplinary, multi-scalar framework for studying living quarters and combining landscape archaeology with micro-archaeology to trace hybridities where biology, geology and geomorphology shape patterns of human activity. As archeologists interact with local culture a creolizerad archaeology has been suggested to help prevent ”simple” solutions to practical archaeological problems. Sicilian Archaeology ’began’ with Paolo Orsi, on Etna’s slopes, in the central mountains and on the coasts. This narrative is broadened by inclusion of a periphery in Coda Volpe, with a re-evaluation of Orsi’s contemporary Carmelo Sciuto Patti’s interpretation on the possible location of Symaetus.

  • Warships of the First Punic War: an Archaeological Investigation
    WARSHIPS OF THE FIRST PUNIC WAR: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION AND CONTRIBUTORY RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EGADI 10 WARSHIP FROM THE BATTLE OF THE EGADI ISLANDS (241 B.C.) by Mateusz Polakowski April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. David J. Stewart Major Department: Program in Maritime Studies of the Department of History Oared warships dominated the Mediterranean from the Bronze Age down to the development of cannon. Purpose-built warships were specifically designed to withstand the stresses of ramming tactics and high intensity impacts. Propelled by the oars of skilled rowing crews, squadrons of these ships could work in unison to outmaneuver and attack enemy ships. In 241 B.C. off the northwestern coast of Sicily, a Roman fleet of fast ramming warships intercepted a Carthaginian warship convoy attempting to relieve Hamilcar Barca’s besieged troops atop Mount Eryx (modern day Erice). The ensuing naval battle led to the ultimate defeat of the Carthaginian forces and an end to the First Punic War (264–241 B.C.). Over the course of the past 12 years, the Egadi Islands Archaeological Site has been under investigation producing new insights into the warships that once patrolled the wine dark sea. The ongoing archaeological investigation has located Carthaginian helmets, hundreds of amphora, and 11 rams that sank during the course of the battle. This research uses the recovered Egadi 10 ram to attempt a conjectural reconstruction of a warship that took part in the battle. It analyzes historical accounts of naval engagements during the First Punic War in order to produce a narrative of warship innovation throughout the course of the war.

  • INVITATION to SICILY: the Never Ending Journey
    Boutique B&B LA FORESTERIA INVITATION TO SICILY: the never ending journey Dolce & Gabbana Sicily…. a plural reality: one, no one or a hundred thousand? As white as salt, as yellow as sulphur, as green as carob tree, as blue as sea, as dark as the lava… Aristocratic and composed in Palermo, bourgeois and frantic in Catania, terricolous and reflective in the province… At one time sleepy and traditional, dynamic and creative. Age old like Tholos of Montalbano Elicona and brand-new like the cyclopean sculptures of Fiumara d’Arte. How many Sicilies actually exist? Ten, a hundred, one thousand or, in a Pirandello way, no one? Gesualdo Bufalino devises a possible definition: “the island in the plural”, capable of portraying Sicily of diversity, of dichotomy, of extremity. It is here that much of ancient history, perhaps history world, occurred. Here in the heart of Mediterranean is where flourishing but ephemeral civilisations crossed and clashed. Our invitation to Sicily is to discover the many faces of the island-of-the-islands or the island-not island, or the island-nation or finally the island-universe. Therefore, our invitation is to discover …. … 1000 kilometres of coastline: now very white and dazzling cliffs, such as the “Scala dei Turchi”, then intimate coves, sometimes refuges for turtles, such as Calamosche; now black cliffs, such as those at the foot of Mount Etna, then sandy beaches such as beaches of Ragusa, S. Vito, Catania or Portorosa … volcanoes, those hyperactive such as Mount Etna and Stromboli and the dormant ones, such as Vulcano and so many others … an endless archaeological heritage, at least 100 sites: 40% of national heritage and 10% of mondial heritage … extraordinary historic city centres of the baroque cities, largely UNESCO sites, such as Catania, Noto, Ortigia, Ibla, Trapani and many others, often animated by a lively nightlife … the parks of Etna, of the Madonie, of the Nebrodi and the many nature reserves such as the Simeto, Pantalica, Vendicari, Zingaro, Ciane or Anapo ones.
