Escape to Italy's Most Beautiful Regions Lazio And ESCAPE TO ITALY’S MOST BEAUTIFUL REGIONS LAZIO AND TUSCANY Here lies the heart of Italy between the mountains and the sea. Discover the hidden gems off the radar of most travelers. The heart of Italy lies between the Apennine mountains and the Tyrrhenian sea, in the beautiful regions of Lazio and Tuscany. You will be inspired by the myriad of sights, sounds, scents, and sensations, but most importantly you will take home memories from the heart of Italy. Escape to the heart of Italy with the assistance of your own personal Travel Concierge. The experience begins with a personal consultation with a Peerless Performance Travel Concierge to assure that you have individualized service and an itinerary within YOUR schedule and preferences. Today the “VIP” experience is no longer the exception, but the expectation. Our Travel Concierge Team offers end-to-end services with your safety and security in mind all along the way. Only 18 miles from Rome airport you will be transported into another moment in time as you arrive at the Hotel Posta Vecchia. Once upon a time this hotel was the villa of millionaire Paul Getty and was built on the site of a Roman ancient villa and 17th-century castle. Experience a blend of old and new with breathtaking panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, immaculately manicured grounds, and well- preserved ruins that date back to the Roman Empire. Your next few days will be spent touring the areas between the mountains and the sea. You will explore Cerveteri where archaeological evidence of a settlement from the Bronze Age provides intriguing reminders of civilization. The Bronze Age taught the ancient Romans a thing or two about religion, art, and a pleasurable way of life. Indulge in your tastes for cheese and wine at L’Isola del Formaggio and Cantina la Rasenna to end your day. Enjoy your next day in Rome with some retail therapy with a personal shopper and browse the local shops. Prefer to explore inside the city walls? Go on a guided tour of the Vatican, Colosseum, or the Forum on your own Vespa scooter! Ready for the open road? Take on the region of Tuscany in your choice of a Ferrari, a convertible classic Alfa-Romeo, or a stylish Fiat 500 convertible – total Italian style! At the end of your time on the open road, you will arrive at the Hotel Bevedetta where you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the Maremma countryside at this family estate that has been converted to a countryside resort. While in this lovely region you can enjoy the wonderful cuisine, olives, and wines of Tuscany. Here you will debunk the myth that cowboys exist only in the USA. We introduce you to the Buttero, a cowboy unique to the Tuscan region of the Maremma. This experience will leave you yearning for more, so when departure day has arrived you can do a post extension or have your private transportation transfer you to Nice International Airport. What better way to interact with the natural beauty of Italy than a round of golf? Be a member for a day at your choice of two high challenging, well recognized courses both tightly routed through beautiful mature Italian forests. Olgiata Golf Club near Rome has hosted numerous Italian Opens and the World Cup. Golf Club Punta Ala in southern Tuscany is a “both hands on the steering wheel” golf challenge complete with terrific views of the Mediterranean Sea. To top off the experience you will be accompanied by a playing partner, golf course architect, and Pete Dye protégé Jeff Klaiber. Also known as the Gritty Golf Guide, Jeff will lead you on more of an architectural playing tour, passing along design theories, shot strategies, and plenty of great stories, helping you become comfortable and confident on unfamiliar golf courses. Your final day has arrived, and private transportation will transfer you to the Rome International Airport. If you would like to do a post extension our Concierge Travel can propose a special trip to Florence, explore the art and frescos of Siena, or visit the leaning tower of Pisa. You imagine it, we make it happen! *This itinerary is one of many examples as your experience will be tailored specifically to you..

Gitzinger (team leader) Mr E. Henrich Mr. E. Hrnecek Mr. A. Ryan Reference: IT-11/06 INTRODUCTION Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty requires that each Member State shall establish facilities necessary to carry out continuous monitoring of the levels of radioactivity in air, water and soil and to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards (1). Article 35 also gives the European Commission (EC) the right of access to such facilities in order that it may verify their operation and efficiency. For the EC, the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER) and in particular its Radiation Protection Unit (at the time of the visit ENER.D.4, now ENER.D.3) is responsible for undertaking these verifications. The main purpose of verifications performed under Article 35 of the Euratom Treaty is to provide an independent assessment of the adequacy of monitoring facilities for: - Liquid and airborne discharges of radioactivity into the environment by a site (and control thereof). - Levels of environmental radioactivity at the site perimeter and in the marine, terrestrial and aquatic environment around the site, for all relevant pathways. - Levels of environmental radioactivity on the territory of the Member State. Taking into account previous bilateral protocols, a Commission Communication has been published in the Official Journal on 4 July 2006 with a view to define some practical arrangements for the conduct of Article 35 verification visits in Member States.

  • The North-South Divide in Italy: Reality Or Perception?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 25 2018 Number 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1231-1952.25.1.03 Dario MUSOLINO∗ THE NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE IN ITALY: REALITY OR PERCEPTION? Abstract. Although the literature about the objective socio-economic characteristics of the Italian North- South divide is wide and exhaustive, the question of how it is perceived is much less investigated and studied. Moreover, the consistency between the reality and the perception of the North-South divide is completely unexplored. The paper presents and discusses some relevant analyses on this issue, using the findings of a research study on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. Its ultimate aim, therefore, is to suggest a new approach to the analysis of the macro-regional development gaps. What emerges from these analyses is that the perception of the North-South divide is not consistent with its objective economic characteristics. One of these inconsistencies concerns the width of the ‘per- ception gap’, which is bigger than the ‘reality gap’. Another inconsistency concerns how entrepreneurs perceive in their mental maps regions and provinces in Northern and Southern Italy. The impression is that Italian entrepreneurs have a stereotyped, much too negative, image of Southern Italy, almost a ‘wall in the head’, as also can be observed in the German case (with respect to the East-West divide). Keywords: North-South divide, stated locational preferences, perception, image. 1. INTRODUCTION The North-South divide1 is probably the most known and most persistent charac- teristic of the Italian economic geography.

  • 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 Geography of Italian Pasta
    The Geography of Italian Pasta David Alexander University of Massachusetts, Amherst Pasta is as much an institution as a food in Italy, where it has made a significant contribution to national culture. Its historical geography is one of strong regional variations based on climate, social factors, and diffusion patterns. These are considered herein; a taxonomy of pasta types is presented and illustrated in a series of maps that show regional variations. The classification scheme divides pasta into eight classes based on morphology and, where appropriate, filling. These include the spaghetti and tubular families, pasta shells, ribbon forms, short pasta, very small or “micro- pasta” types, the ravioli family of filled pasta, and the dumpling family, which includes gnocchi. Three patterns of dif- fusion of pasta types are identified: by sea, usually from the Mezzogiorno and Sicily, locally through adjacent regions, and outwards from the main centers of adoption. Many dry pasta forms are native to the south and center of Italy, while filled pasta of the ravioli family predominates north of the Apennines. Changes in the geography of pasta are re- viewed and analyzed in terms of the modern duality of culture and commercialism. Key Words: pasta, Italy, cultural geography, regional geography.
