BLACK LIVES MATTER The wave of protests in the US over the killing of George Floyd are the latest outpourings of anger that have erupted after the deaths of African Americans in police custody. The Black Lives Matter movement emerged in response to the acquittal of the man who killed teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. Here are some of the major incidents from 2012 onwards. Read the text and put the verbs into the correct form. February 26, 2012: Trayvon Martin Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old African-American high school student, ……………….. (shoot) in Sanford, Florida. The culprit, George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old man of mixed race was the Neighbourhood Watch coordinator for his gated community where Martin ……………….. (visit) his relatives at the time of the shooting.

(display) racial bias against Brown and excessive force ……………….. (use). The officer involved resigned but ……………….. (not prosecute). The incident led to multiple waves of protests and civil unrest in Ferguson, raising the profile of the Black Lives Matter movement. 22 November 2014: Tamir Rice Tamir Rice, a boy of 12, ……………….. (shoot) dead in Cleveland, Ohio by a police officer after reports of a male, who was "probably a juvenile", pointing a gun that was "probably fake" at passers by.

Gradara Castle is the most visited monument in the Marche. This imposing Mediaeval fortress is located in the village of Gradara and is protected by two walls: an outer rampart which extends for over 700 metres and an inner one where visitors can stroll at their leisure, enjoying spectacular views of Romagna, Carpegna and the Republic of San Marino. The castle was built in about 1150 by the De Griffo family to regulate trade along the Adriatic coast but was later taken over by the House of Malatesta whose domain comprised Rimini, Cesena and Pesaro. Ownership of the citadel was keenly contested by troops belonging to the Montefeltro and the Sforza dynasties until it was reclaimed by the church in 1641. In 1920, the Zanvettori family bought the fortress which, in the intervening centuries, had been reduced to ruins. The famous architect, Giuseppe Sacconi, was commissioned to restore the central tower and its surrounding walls and now, thanks to him, Gradara can be seen in all its original glory. As every Italian school-pupil knows, this is where Francesca da Rimini fell in love with Paolo Malatesta. Unfortunately, she was already married to Gianciotto Malatesta, his older brother, and the story ended tragically when their affair was discovered. Gianciotto was furious and the adulterous lovers were both killed. The episode was immortalized in Dante’s ‘Inferno’ and Gradara Castle has been a symbol of romance and overpowering passion ever since.

  • Travels with Sandi Hidden Treasures of Le Marche
    Travels with Sandi Hidden Treasures of Le Marche A Regional Discovery Tour September 24th - October 2nd 2021 Marche is one of the twenty regions of Italy. It is situated roughly half way down the east coast of the country, bound to the west by the Apennine Mountains and to the east by the Adriatic Sea. It is also an undiscovered jewel. Its neighbors to the north and west (Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Umbria) enjoy a booming tourist industry, while Marche sits in rural tranquility, happily devoid of the convoys of tourist coaches clogging up the countryside. Marche has managed to retain its agricultural and rural nature through to this new millennium – no mean feat in this modern age. And therein lies the beauty and charm of the region. It has not always been so. In Renaissance times, the city of Urbino rivalled Florence in its artistic and cultural reputation (Raphael came from Urbino). Pesaro was the birthplace of Rossini and the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II, was born in Jesi. This itinerary was a result of a project created by Fiona Bennett and her senior students and funded by the European Union. With the idea of promoting tourism to the region, five itineraries were created each researched by the students and in consultation with Discover Europe who had agreed to help and advise. Out of the 5 excellent itineraries proposed this The Marche one was selected. Making our base in one hotel for the entire trip (see details on the fabulous Castello di Monterado on page 3 of this brochure), Marche is the perfect destination for those who want to expe- rience the real Italy, away from the tourist throngs.

    the long stay house by Fondato nel 998 d.C . BENVENUTO AL CASTELLO DI GRANAROLA IN COLLINA SUL MARE WELCOME TO GRANAROLA CASTLE ON A HILL ABOVE THE SEA Il Castello di Granarola è immerso nella natura a due passi dal mare Adriatico. Il primo Long Stay House by BRANDINA prende il nome dalla sua funzione in epoca Romana: conservare nelle grotte le riserve di grano. Oggi luogo d’accoglienza per ospiti da tutto il mondo, rinasce nel rispetto della storia e dell’estetica del luogo, tra querce e profumati allori, scorci di mare e colline, come in un quadro rinascimentale di Piero della Francesca. L’architettura ha sulle spalle 1200 anni di storia: edificato secondo la migliore esposizione al sole, impiegando solo materiali ecologici, derivanti dalla terra e rispettosi dell’ambiente. Esclusivi rifugi dalla quotidianità costituiscono luoghi unici in cui farsi trasportare in una nuova dimensione. Il silenzio ti avvolge, ciascuna finestra si affaccia su un panorama senza ostacoli: nessuna tenda ad impedire lo sguardo. Come la terra, così il pavimento emette calore: assapora il gusto di camminare scalzo. Ogni oggetto che ti circonda è stato realizzato da mani artigiane, nulla deriva da produzioni seriali. Vivi l’esperienza del bello, in un soggiorno autentico ed esclusivo. Questa è l’atmosfera del Castello di Granarola. Granarola Castle is surrounded by nature and close to the Adriatic Sea. The first Long Stay House by BRANDINA is named after its function during the Roman era when the caves of the Castle were used to store the corn reserves. Today Granarola offers its hospitality to guests from all over the world.
