Exploring the Best of Central and Southern Italy 6/30/11 Exploring thE BEst of CEntral and southErn italy My tastings of central and southern Italy were the largest and broadest I have On a more positive note, the most exciting region this year is the Marche, where ever done. I found a number of properties that were new to me, but also tasted a I was truly blown away by the sheer diversity and pure beauty of what I tasted. huge number of wines that left a lot to be desired. Times are tough; there is no Campania has a superb vintage with the 2010 whites, many of which are doubt about that. Demand in many markets remains weak while the shrinking exceptional. Puglia remains my favorite region for deep value, which I define as power of the US dollar has begun to eat into margins in a big way. It appears that wines in the 86-88 point range that can be had for $10-$12 a bottle or less. many wineries are making the choice to compete on price and are willing to Primitivo and Negroamaro are varieties perfectly suited to delicious, every-day sacrifice quality in the process. Given the nature of the times, it’s hard to be too wines. The same is true with Montepulciano in Abruzzo. Quality is more irregular, critical of cash-constrained wineries struggling to survive, but the simple fact is but the best wines are well worth seeking out. Throughout the center and south that many wines are falling out of the range where they are truly interesting. Make there is an increasing use of stainless steel (and occasionally cement) for entry- no mistake about it, given the enormous amount of great wine being produced level wines, which allows the character and fruit of these indigenous grapes to virtually everywhere in the world today, that is exactly what is on the line. I continue express their unique personalities. There are plenty of other terrific wines to to be convinced the regions of the south and center have virtually unlimited explore in this article, but they are more driven by grower than by region. For more potential, but winemakers have to be willing to make the necessary sacrifices on the many native grapes of the center and south readers may want to consult in order to compete on the global stage. Where producers remain diligent and my introduction in Issue 189, while thumbnail summaries of the regions are focused on quality, the wines are compelling. At their best, the wines of center available in the introduction to Issue 182. and south offer an amazing range of diversity and value. - Antonio Galloni ARGIOLAS ARGIOLAS 2007 ANGIALIS SARDINIA $65; 500 ml SWEET WHITE 93 ARGIOLAS 2010 COSTAMOLINO SARDINIA $13 WHITE 89 ARGIOLAS 2008 IS SOLINAS SARDINIA $30 RED 89 ARGIOLAS 2009 ISOLA DEI NURAGHI ISELIS ROSSO SARDINIA $30 RED 87 ARGIOLAS 2010 ISOLA DEI NURAGHI ISELIS BIANCO SARDINIA $20 WHITE 91 ARGIOLAS 2008 KOREM SARDINIA $45 RED 91 ARGIOLAS 2010 ROSATO SERRALORI SARDINIA $14 ROSÉ 88 ARGIOLAS 2010 S’ELEGAS SARDINIA $13 WHITE 88 ARGIOLAS 2006 TURRIGA SARDINIA $80 RED 94 ARGIOLAS 2010 IS ARGIOLAS SARDINIA $20 WHITE 91 A renewed focus in indigenous grapes and a more refined approach to winemaking wraps around the entire palate, with sumptuous layers of apricots, tangerine and mint. are some of the developments that are in the air at Argiolas.The 2007 Isola dei The Iselis is the richest of these whites from Argiolas.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

  • The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories
    The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf.

  • TERRITORIAL IDENTITY and ADMINISTRATIVE ISOLATION: the CASE of "IMPERFECT DISTRICTS" in SOUTHERN ITALY Astrid PELLICANO University of Naples, “Federico II”, Italy
    TERRITORIAL IDENTITY AND ADMINISTRATIVE ISOLATION: THE CASE OF "IMPERFECT DISTRICTS" IN SOUTHERN ITALY Astrid PELLICANO University of Naples, “Federico II”, Italy 1. The "imperfect districts" Ever since the Unity of Italy, some administrative districts in Italian Mezzogiorno (Terra di Lavoro, Benevento, Isernia, Campobasso, L’Aquila) have undergone a series of boundary transformations. Due to main institutional transformations (the Unity of Italy, the Fascist regime, the reconstruction after World War II, the advent of special statutes for some regions) these territories have been affected by profound administrative changes. The different transformations were driven either by ideological or functional motivations, and they have often caused the loss of socio-cultural identities in local communities. This issue mirrors political and administrative aspects, and also the questions of identification between groups and territory, i.e. the mechanisms used by a community to develop a sense of identity. In this analysis, the so-called 'imperfect districts' define such provincial bodies that in given historical moments have undergone significant alterations in boundaries and organizations; therefore, one can possibly assume that also their identity structures have been affected. One of the most significant cases is Terra di Lavoro. Back in the middle of the nineteenth century it had a notable extension and it featured important towns as Cassino, Gaeta, Capua, Caserta, Aversa, Pozzuoli and Sorrento (Fondi, 1977). Its slow transformation began with the Unity: in order to favor the creation of a new province for Benevento (a province that was created from nothing, after eight centuries of papal administration on the town and its surrounding areas), the central government stripped the area of Piedimonte D'Alife (Sannio Alifano) which was split among the province of Isernia (Molise) and Benevento.

The purpose of this study is not a minute examination of all the dialects in the territory indicated. If such were the case the work, instead of being in one small volume, would cover many and instead of being published after a few years of investigation, it would require a lifetime for its comple tion. The writer will be content if he succeeds in giving the reader a general idea of the dialectic peculiarities to be found in Central Italy and if with the information herein contained, the reader may be enabled to identify a given text or a given pronunciation as coming from a certain province. For this purpose a treatment of phonological phenomena is sufficient and the writer does not attempt to deal with dialectic vocabularies which would necessarily be incomplete and un satisfactory. Jt would indeed be unwise for a foreigner to attempt such a task. Many of the Central Italian and Abruzzese dialects have been ably treated by the scholars best fitted to write of them, that is, by natives of that territory. The information con tained in these studies has been freely used. In cases where the author considered the development noted to be extra ordinary he has gone personally to verify it, but generally he might have dispensed with so doing, for the work had been excellently done.

  • Istituzioni E Territorio. L'ascesa Della Borghesia Di Terra Di Lavoro Nelle
    MARRA, L’ascesa della borghesia di Terra di Lavoro nelle istituzioni dell’Ottocento ALESSANDRO MARRA ISTITUZIONI E TERRITORIO. L’ASCESA DELLA BORGHESIA DI TERRA DI LAVORO NELLE ISTITUZIONI ECONOMICHE DELL’OTTOCENTO BORBONICO Le Società economiche dell’Italia meridionale sono legate indissolubilmente al Decennio francese (1806 – 1815) ed alla politica riformista inaugurata da Giuseppe Bonaparte e continuata poi da Gioacchino Murat. L’abolizione della feudalità (1806), con la progressiva perdita dei proventi delle giurisdizioni e delle privative, la fine dei fedecommessi, la ripartizione dei demani, l’istituzione della scuola pubblica e gratuita in ogni comune per ambo i sessi favorirono l’ascesa della borghesia agraria; la contemporanea politica napoleonica del blocco continentale consentiva la lenta affermazione della borghesia manifatturiera anche nella vasta provincia di Terra di Lavoro, la più sviluppata e vivace del Mezzogiorno, la seconda del regno per numero di abitanti dopo Napoli1. In questo contesto politico, con regio decreto del 16 febbraio 1810, Gioacchino Murat istituì le Società di Agricoltura in ogni provincia del regno con il compito di proteggere e promuovere l’attività primaria. Il 30 luglio 1812 esse vennero poi trasformate in Società economiche, con competenza anche nel settore industriale e commerciale. Queste istituzioni economiche erano sotto la più stretta dipendenza del governo e del sovrano, che provvedeva a nominare con decreto reale i componenti.
