July 2017 Irpinia Wine Tour D I S C O V E R I R P I N I A F O O D & W I N E T O U R J U L Y 1 - 8 2 0 1 7 SUMMER WINE TOUR IN SOUTHERN ITALY Irpinia is the new Tuscany for wine tours complete with gorgeous views, green, lush mountains and spectacular DOCG wine. But unlike Tuscany, you won't find busloads of tourists in Irpinia. The food is local, authentic. July is hot in Southern Italy, but not in Irpinia which enjoys much cooler, drier summers due to the high elevation. This 7-night, 8-day food and wine tour includes visits to fine dining restaurants, local, Slow Food restaurants, wine tastings with some of Italy's most prestigious wine makers and visits to ancient sites including Aeclanum and Herculaneum. YOUR HOST Traveling with you is Christian Galliani, co-founder of Feast On History. Christian is a sommelier and writer who worked on the wine team at Del Posto and served as lead sommelier at Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's Tarry Lodge. He is an expert on Irpinian wine and loves to personally introduce guests to his favorite winemakers including Salvatore Molettieri and Luigi Moio. There are 10 spots left for this tour. We hope you will join us in the most special, private and beautiful corner of Italy. W W W . F E A S T O N H I S T O R Y .

Past guests include singles, couples, adult children traveling with parents, couples celebrating anniversaries. Guests have ranged from 24-80 years of age. Our small groups of no more than 14 people allow for people to get to know each other. -You want to get off the proverbial beaten path and go where the Italians go. -You want an authentic experience of Italian life, but also really want to enjoy being away from home and work. We let you sleep late and craft each day to have a nice balance of relaxing and sightseeing. -You don't speak Italian, but would still like to get to know real Italians. You're in the care of our Italian family who will treat you as family. -You don't want to deal with driving or train schedules. We have our own driver for the week so you don't have to worry about figuring out how to get to all these off-the-beaten path places or drive along mountain or coastal roads. -You want to eat and drink the very best, most local thing in every place you go, but don't have the time to spend months researching food blogs to figure it all out. We pick the places and select the best of what is most characteristic of the place, the freshest, in- season or the specialty of the house. Where other tour operators in the region accept between 20-40 guests per tour, our groups accept a maximum of 14 guests. We are a family business and our guest reviews attest to how each guest is treated as a member of our own family. W W W . F E A S T O N H I S T O R Y .

  • 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.

  • Pompeii and Herculaneum: a Sourcebook Allows Readers to Form a Richer and More Diverse Picture of Urban Life on the Bay of Naples
    POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM The original edition of Pompeii: A Sourcebook was a crucial resource for students of the site. Now updated to include material from Herculaneum, the neighbouring town also buried in the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook allows readers to form a richer and more diverse picture of urban life on the Bay of Naples. Focusing upon inscriptions and ancient texts, it translates and sets into context a representative sample of the huge range of source material uncovered in these towns. From the labels on wine jars to scribbled insults, and from advertisements for gladiatorial contests to love poetry, the individual chapters explore the early history of Pompeii and Herculaneum, their destruction, leisure pursuits, politics, commerce, religion, the family and society. Information about Pompeii and Herculaneum from authors based in Rome is included, but the great majority of sources come from the cities themselves, written by their ordinary inhabitants – men and women, citizens and slaves. Incorporating the latest research and finds from the two cities and enhanced with more photographs, maps and plans, Pompeii and Herculaneum: A Sourcebook offers an invaluable resource for anyone studying or visiting the sites. Alison E. Cooley is Reader in Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. Her recent publications include Pompeii. An Archaeological Site History (2003), a translation, edition and commentary of the Res Gestae Divi Augusti (2009), and The Cambridge Manual of Latin Epigraphy (2012). M.G.L. Cooley teaches Classics and is Head of Scholars at Warwick School. He is Chairman and General Editor of the LACTOR sourcebooks, and has edited three volumes in the series: The Age of Augustus (2003), Cicero’s Consulship Campaign (2009) and Tiberius to Nero (2011).

  • Advances in Biocultural Geography of Olive Tree
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Advances in biocultural geography of olive tree (Olea europaea L.) landscapes by merging biological and historical assays Giuseppe Russo1 ✉ , Isacco Beritognolo1, Marina Bufacchi 2, Vitale Stanzione2, Andrea Pisanelli1, Marco Ciolf 1, Marco Lauteri1 & Stephen B. Brush3 Olive tree is a vector of cultural heritage in Mediterranean. This study explored the biocultural geography of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from the cultivar Ogliarola campana in Campania region, Italy. Here, the rich cultural elements related to olive tree and oil represent a suitable case study for a biocultural analysis. We joined analytical techniques, based on stable isotopes and trace elements of EVOOs, with humanistic analyses, based on toponymy and historical data. In order to provide a science-based assessment of the terroir concept, we set up a new method of data analysis that inputs heterogeneous data from analytical and anthropic variables and outputs an original global evaluation score, named terroir score, as a measure of biocultural distinctiveness of the production areas. The analysis highlighted two distinct cultural sub-regions in the production area of Ogliarola campana: a continental cluster in the inner area of Irpinia and a coastal one around Salerno province. Finally, a biocultural map displays the diversity of heterogeneous variables and may support science-based decision making for territory valorisation. This novel biocultural analysis is a promising approach to substantiate the terroir concept with science-based elements and appears suitable to characterize local agri-food products with old tradition and historical data. Te Mediterranean olive landscape integrates biological and cultural elements dating back several millennia1.
