  • Feral Breeds in Italy
    Feral breeds in Italy Daniele Bigi RARE Association University of Bologna 6 feral populations in Italy • Giara Horse • Asinara Donkeys • Asinara Horses • Asinara Goat SARDINIA • Tavolara Goat • Caprera Goat • Molara Goat • Montecristo Goat TUSCANY • Tremiti Goat PUGLIA ? Feral and wild populations on the Asinara Island • Donkeys: – White donkey (Asino dell’Asinara) (150 amimals) – Grey donkey (250 animals) • Goats > 1000 (6000 have been already removed from the Island). • Horses 100 • Mouflons (number unknown) Asinara Island – The Island is 52 km 2 in area. – The name is Italian for "donkey-inhabited“. – The island is located off the north-western tip of Sardinia. – The Island is mountainous in geography with steep, rocky coast. Trees are sparse and low scrub is the predominant vegetation. – It’s part of the national parks system of Italy, in 2002 the island was converted to a wildlife and marine preserve. – In 1885 the island became a Lazaretto and an agricultural penal colony (till 1998). About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

  • 93 Fari Dismessi. Dall'abbandono Alla
    Annali del Turismo, V, 2016, n.1 Edizioni Geoprogress FARI DISMESSI. DALL’ABBANDONO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE Antonietta Ivona Abstract Lighthouses decommissioned. From abandonment to regeneration. - The Italian legislation on cultural heritage introduced, a few years ago, the concept of enhancement and enjoyment of cultural heritage through the outsourcing of cultural assistance and hospitality services for the public. Particularly, the national Project "Valore Paese" of the Agenzia del Demanio is dedicated to lighthouses and it intends to encourage the promotion of the Italian public real estate through the synergy between the sectors of tourism, art and culture, economic and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the recovery of public assets owned by the State and local authorities has the possibility to be considered not only in terms of cost to the community, but also as a significant lever for territorial and social development, in a logic of public- private partnership. 1. I fari nel tempo Opere di ingegneria umana, ammantate di miti e leggende, i fari sono parte della storia della navigazione. Dai bagliori dei primi fuochi accesi sulle torri di avvistamento fino ai recenti dibattiti sul futuro della rete dei fari, essi hanno da sempre rappresentato anche luoghi identitari. I primi fari che la storia conosce non erano altro che falò di legna accatastata situati nei luoghi più pericolosi per segnalare la rotta ai naviganti. “I primi fuochi, che dovevano restare accesi tutta la notte, richiedevano continua cura: occorreva combustibile, sapienza tecnica, presenza costante dell’uomo” (Mariotti, 2013, p. 10). Con l’evolversi della navigazione commerciale, occorse sostituire i falò con strumenti di segnalazione più sicuri e, quindi, più potenti da ubicare nei porti lungo le nuove rotte commerciali.

  • 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.

  • Comuni Dell'anglona E Gallura Che Abbracciano La Bassa Valle Del Coghinas Valledoria
    COMUNI DELL’ANGLONA E GALLURA CHE ABBRACCIANO LA BASSA VALLE DEL COGHINAS VALLEDORIA Valledoria (fino al 1960 Codaruina , Codaruìna in gallurese e sassarese ) è un comune di 4.125 abitanti della provincia di Sassari , nell'antica regione dell' Anglona . Il paese si affaccia sul Golfo dell' Asinara , nei pressi della foce del fiume Coghinas . Il paese sorge sul sito dell’antico borgo romano di Codes , da cui deriva appellativo Codaruina . Nel medioevo fu sede della Diocesi di Ampurias , distrutta ripetutamente dai pirati barbari. Appartenuta al Giudicato di Torres e passato alla famiglia genovese dei Doria , dopo la conquista aragonese , la valle del Coghinas fu colpita da epidemie catastrofiche (secolo XV) che portarono allo spopolamento di queste terre. La ripresa demografica si ebbe, come del resto in tutta la bassa gallura , verso la metà dell’ Ottocento , grazie all’afflusso di famiglie galluresi da Aggius e Tempio Pausania che occuparono le vaste pianure deserte e fertilissime, dando vita all'insediamento di Codaruina, oggi Valledoria centro. Nel 1960 Codaruina si rese comune autonomo con il nome di Valledoria comprendendo le frazioni di La Muddizza, La Ciaccia, San Pietro, Baia Verde e Maragnani, il cui territorio era compreso nei comuni di Sedini e Castelsardo . Nel 1983 si è staccata la frazione di Santa Maria Coghinas divenuta comune autonomo. SANTA MARIA COGHINAS Santa Maria Coghinas (Cuzina in gallurese , Santa Maria Cutzinas in sardo ) è un comune di 1.439 abitanti della provincia di Sassari Il centro abitato sorge nella regione storica dell'Anglona , sulla riva occidentale del fiume Coghinas e ai piedi delle colline che delimitano la fertilissima valle alluvionale con una media di 2 m s.l.m.
