    Reckless Wines from Rome “We fell in love with a vineyard, so beautiful to make us reckless” And so, without reasoning, we embraced a journey that led us to challenge some rules, get rid of a some fears and take back some beauty. Near Rome, in the Roman Castles area, we discover volcanic lands, boldly suited for the vineyard and yet voiceless. We focus on the grapes of a single vineyard near Velletri, surrounded by a 250 hectares natural monument of wild forest, huge oaks, maples and cyclamen. Nero Buono, Malvasia, Trebbiano and a bit of Moscato. Organic vineyard with the use only of copper and sulfur. Looking west you can spy the sea and in the windy days you can feel the salt. Egidio and Paola are the two owners and farmers. They take care of the land, the vineyard and the fruit-trees, all alone. We help them, observing and studying each movement. We work together, we feel good. We take courage. I CA RO “I Castelli Romani” Our ambitions are all in this land. We want to take back the grapes and the wines. Give them new life, new vitality, new expression. Give rise to a renaissance of the Roman Castles. In the wine-house, in Genzano, it is only spontaneous fermentation. Zero or very little So2, no filtration, no control of temperatures. No enologist or long experience yet with clear ideas and the will to make an expressive, natural, popolar, anti- elite wine for the people. Four fellows from Rome, two elderly farmers and the dream to start a revolution in the Roman Castles.

  • In a Highly Competitive Global Market Such As
    Fusco 9/13/05 10:51 AM Page 34 Vineyard Management Precision Vineyard Management from Space – From Bacchus to Eneide Simonetta Cheli & Luigi Fusco ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy Stefano Sandrelli Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Milan, Italy n a highly competitive global market such as the wine business, consistent quality is a must, especially if Europe wants to maintain its position as world leader. It currently accounts for I55% of the world’s vine-growing areas, 60% of wine production and 70% of exports. In this very special sector of agriculture, technology and science play fundamental roles in all phases of activity, from the start of the vine-growing season, through the ripening of the grapes, to the bottling of the wine. The quality of the wine produced depends on many parameters, including the soil characteristics in the area, the weather and growth conditions during the season, the ability to monitor and control vine diseases, the degree of maturity of the grapes at harvest time, their grade, colour, organic acids, etc. during fermentation and, finally, the wine production techniques employed. In general, however, European vineyard managers still have little access to technical means or reliable systems to guide them in their decision-making. Precision Farming in the Frascati area Space technologies, particularly those associated with Earth Observation (EO), can help the wine-growing community in a number of technical areas. One of several initiatives promoting the use of EO in the wine sector has been ‘Bacchus’, a Research and ESA/ESRIN lies in the middle of the Frascati DOC wine-growing Technological Development project started in 2003 (to be completed in 2005), funded by region, southeast of Rome.

Medit. 27: 137-150. 2017. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. For the first time, the bryoflora of the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo (Vatican City State) has been studied. Research led to the identification of 87 bryophytes (1 hornworts, 15 liver- worts and 71 mosses), among which one liverwort and six moss species are new reports for the Lazio Region. Zygodon forsteri, epiphyte species considered Vulnerable in Europe, Anthoceros agrestis and other species rare for Italy, were found in the study area. In addition, the life-form of each species was taken into consideration, in order to compare with the ecological and cli- matic characteristics of the territory examined. The study contributes to the knowledge of a ter- ritory of the Vatican City State that until now had been almost unexplored from the bryological point of view and provides important information for the realization and definition of the European and Mediterranean Red List of Bryophytes. Key words: Bryophytes, Anthoceros agrestis, Zygodon forsteri, Life-forms, Lazio Region. Introduction This work, conducted in the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, completes the research car- ried out on the bryological flora of the Vatican Gardens (Aleffi 2015), providing more detailed information for the production of the Check-List and country status of European Bryophytes.

Thus, apart from the most famous and frequen- ted areas there is a multitude of lesser-known sites, including many archaeological sites, suffering from poor local development, the lack of adequate conservation interventions and enhancement, and limited tourist flows. Nevertheless, all these sites have to face daily issues related to conservation, management and enhancement. These are not simple issues to deal with, given that these actions are part of a broader and more intricate framework of interconnections of economic, political, social and cultural factors, determined not only by local and national dynamics but, often, by global trends. The volume collects the contributions of a multidisciplinary team of scholars and representatives of local authorities with the aim of presenting a review of positive and current cases in both nations in the field of conservation and restoration, management and promo- PRESERVING, MANAGING AND ENHANCING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES tion of archaeological sites, aiming at creating a shared knowledge base, useful in identifying
