This tiny hamlet, surrounded by peaceful countryside and woodland, was a convent in the 11th century. Perched on a gentle hill, the citadel later became a military fortress. The aristocratic Chigi Saracini family then acquired the estate and made it their country seat, infusing it with the style of one of Italy’s most noble dynasties. Today this wonderful resort exudes a wealth of architectural and landscape features, enabling guests to experience a different aspect of Tuscany with every season. Set amid the beautiful hills of Siena, Castel Monastero is the ideal base from which to explore Tuscany’s artistic and culinary treasures. An extraordinary experience awaits you every day: from the beauty of Siena and the Palio to Chianti vineyards; from Piero della Francesca’s frescoes in Borgo San Sepolcro to the striking castle at Pitigliano; from the archaeological heritage of Tuscany’s Etruscan necropolises to the Renaissance splendour of Pienza. As you return from your travels in the evening, the warmth of a historic Villa awaits you and your memories – the perfect way to extend your journey around Italian style. Castel Monastero – Loc.

  • To the Ombrone-Orcia Valley
    CHAPTER IV ............... To the Ombrone-Orcia Valley r\.T noon on n June Fifth Army pursued the Germans northwestward with two fresh command groups directing operations. IV Corps was on the left and the FEC on the right after completion of their relief of VI Corps and II Corps respectively. Comparatively fresh troops were available for the continuance of the chase, especially in the French zone where the two FEC divisions initially committed, the 1st Motor­ ized Division and the 3d Algerian Infantry Division, had been out of heavy com­ bat nearly two weeks. Only one American division, the 36th, was in action on the IV Corps side. It had been following behind the swift advance of Combat Command A of the 1st Armored Division north of Rome. Although its men had been con­ stantly on the move since passing Rome, it had not been engaged in any extensive righting, its action behind the armor having been confined largely to mopping up operations. The 361st Regimental Combat Team was attached, giving the 36th Di­ vision four regimental combat teams. The 34th Division was resting in the vicinity of Tarquinia, where it had moved from Civitavecchia to make way for supply depots being set up near the port. The 1st Armored Division was rehabilitating near Bracciano, and the other two French divisions, the 26. Moroccan Infantry Division and the 4th Mountain Division, were in FEC reserve. The 85th and 88th Divisions were en route to rest areas south and west of Rome. Other American and British divisions around Rome were in the process of leaving Fifth Army.

  • Documents from the Archive of Scuola Normale Superiore Presented By
    Exposition - documents from the archive of Scuola Normale Superiore Presented by: Alberto Lusiani - Physics researcher at SNS Maddalena Taglioli - Head archivist at SNS Chiara Visentin – SNS Student, Virtual Immersion in Science Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa was formally founded in 1810, by a Napoleonic decree which dealt with “places of public instruction” in Tuscany, part of the French empire since 1807 and referred to as the departments of Arno, Ombrone and Mediterraneo in the terminology used in revolutionary France at that time. Scuola Normale was to be a subsidiary of École Normale Supérieure of Paris, granting 25 publicly funded places, for students in the humanities and sciences. Scuola Normale began operating in 1813 and only for one year, as in April 1814 Napoleon was forced to abdicate. “Normale” refers to the mission of the school, which was to train middle and high school teachers able to convey “norms” in a context where training teachers was connected to “forming” citizens loyal to the laws and the emperor. Scuola Normale and École Normale did not initially have the denomination “Superiore / Supérieure”. In France, after the institution of the “Écoles Normales primaries” in 1845, the School was denominated “École Normale Supérieure”. In 1846, the grand duke of Tuscany, Leopold III, established the “Scuola Normale Toscana”, also called the “ Scuola Normale of the Imperial Reign” - as it was then connected to the “Theoretical and Practical” Austro-Hungarian system – designed “to train teachers and masters for secondary schools”. After the Italian unifcation, the “Scuola Normale of the Kingdom of Italy” was formally established in 1862.

  • Départements Conquis Et Provinces Illyriennes » 1 1792 – 1815
    « Départements Conquis et Provinces Illyriennes » 1 1792 – 1815 Source E.H. de BEAUFOND– Carte Départements Français 1812 (1957) modifiée Le 11 novembre 1789, la Constituante adopte le découpage du territoire français en 83 départements dont la nomenclature est basée sur des critères géographiques ou hydrographiques. Le 31 décembre 1791, les marques postales à numéro remplacent celles de l’ancien régime. A son apogée (1812) le territoire français comportera 134 départements. La loi du 28 Pluviôse An VIII (17 février 1800) donne le nouveau cadre institutionnel des départements qui subsistera jusqu’à la loi de décentralisation de 1982 sans grands changements et le pouvoir administratif est confié aux Préfets (loi du 17 février 1800). Les Départements Conquis seront organisés exactement comme le reste du territoire au fur et à mesure de leur création. Leur numérotation suit la chronologie de leur création à l’exception des départements récupérant les numéros de départements supprimés ou réorganisés. Les 50 départements conquis ont vu le jour suite aux victoires des armées françaises sur 6 coalitions qui se sont succédées de 1792 à 1813 impliquant la quasi-totalité des pays européens. Les « Provinces Illyriennes » sont les territoires occupés et gouvernés par la France (1809 - 1814). Le 20 novembre 1815, le Traité de Paris signifie la fin des hostilités et ramène la France à 86 départements. Les tarifs postaux appliqués sont ceux du territoire français.

The 1966 ‘century’ flood in Italy: a meteorological and hydrological revisitation Abstract The widespread flood event that affected north-eastern and central Italy in November 1966, causing severe damages to vast populated areas including the historical towns of Florence and Venice, is revisited with a modelling approach, made possible by the availability of the ECMWF global reanalysis (ERA-40). A simulated forecasting chain consisting of the ECMWF global model, forcing a cascade of two mesoscale, limited-area meteorological models apt to reach a convective resolving scale (about 2 km), is used to predict quantitative precipitation.

The sand stability (according to a stability index) and colour compatibility (according to the CIEL*a*b* colour space with an acceptability range conforming to national guidelines) were determined in order to assess the possibility of using the available sediment in accreting sectors to nourish the beach in eroding areas. Only in two cases—i.e., the updrift of a harbour (at Viareggio) and in a convergence zone (at Marina di Pietrasanta)—are the volumes of sufficient magnitude to support a large nourishment project; however, the mean sand size is too small to guarantee efficient nourishment, even with medium-term stability.
