But the cultural heritage of La Spezia itself is also rich and original: the “U. Formentini” Archaeological Museum, the “Amedeo Lia” Museum of ancient and modern art, the Centre for Modern and Contemporary Art, the Naval Technical Museum, the “Museo del Sigillo” (museum of the seal), the Ethnographic Museum and the Diocesan Museum are all concentrated together in the old town with its Liberty mansions, shops, bars, markets, pedestrian routes, nineteenth-century gardens and promenade. PORT OF LA SPEZIA Not to forget the Military Arsenal, inaugurated in 1869. Convinced of the strength of these attractions, and in the certainty that La Spezia may justly present itself as a candidate for a front-line role in the cruise sector, the GOLFO DEI POETI - CINQUE TERRE CRUISE TERMINAL PORT OF LA SPEZIA WITH ITALY ALL-AROUND MARANELLO PARMA FLORENCE GENOA LUCCA PORTOFINO CINQUE SARZANA TERRE PORTO CARRARA VENERE LERICI PISA LA SPEZIA APPENNINO TOSCO-EMILIANO NATIONAL PARK FRIGNANO REGIONAL PARK CENTO LAGHI PARK ALPI APUANE REGIONAL PARK MONTEMARCELLO-MAGRA PORTO VENERE REGIONAL NATURAL PARK REGIONAL NATURAL PARK CINQUE TERRE LA SPEZIA NATIONAL PARK AND PROTECTED MARINE AREA GOLFO DEI POETI - CINQUE TERRE CRUISE TERMINAL PORT OF LA SPEZIA WITH ITALY ALL-AROUND LA SPEZIA At the head of a wonderful gulf beloved by poets and statesmen – among these Napoleone the emperor – La Spezia is the second centre in the Liguria region after Genoa. It is one of the main Italian military and commercial harbours, important for its museums, the biennial Festa della Marineria, the traditional Palio del Golfo, as well as for the railway and boat links with Cinque Terre. It experienced extraordinary development after 1861 when the great Arsenal of the Royal Navy was built here. After the extensive damage suffered by the city during the World War II, its port became the point of departure for the survivors of the Nazi camps, so many that on Israeli maps La Spezia is called the Door to Zion. 8 GOLFO DEI POETI - CINQUE TERRE CRUISE TERMINAL PORT OF LA SPEZIA - WITH ITALY ALL-AROUND 9 The Ligurian influence is Of great interest is the still visible in the urban Castle of San Giorgio layout of the city as well that hosts important as in the types of archaeological buildings and collections dating from decorations.

Walking in the streets of La Spezia you can taste Focaccia, a traditional Ligurian baked bread, and Farinata, a sort of thin, unleavened crêpe of chickpea flour. A real treat for the palate is tasting them together: in many pizzerias the Farinata is served also stuffed into Focaccia. 10 GOLFO DEI POETI - CINQUE TERRE CRUISE TERMINAL PORT OF LA SPEZIA - WITH ITALY ALL-AROUND 11 The Palio del Golfo has its roots in the maritime culture of the people of this area and takes place every year on the first Sunday of August in the waters off the promenade of La Spezia. It is primarily a rowing contest between thirteen boats – each one under the colors of a different sea village of the Gulf – handmade by local artisans with unique features that make them faster and more agile. The Festa della Marineria is an important biennial event that takes place in La Spezia, dedicated to the culture of the sea in all its aspects. The festival – whose first edition was organized in 2009 – lasts four days in its classic format and offers a great program, all right in front of the sea and just a few meters from the center of the town. The 2013 edition included the great Tall Ships Regatta as the main attraction. United Nations Porto Venere, Cinque Terre CINQUE TERRE Educational, Scientific and and the Islands Cultural Organization Site inscribed on the World Heritage List on 1997 Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Paths, trains and boats connect five villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. In our times the Cinque Terre (Five Lands), a sharp portion of coast on the Italian Riviera west of the city of La Spezia, are well-known worldwide and are a popular tourist destination. The coastline, the five villages – Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso – and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and, together with Porto Venere and the Islands of its archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 1998, the Italian Ministry for the Environment set up a protected natural Marine Area here to protect the natural environment and to promote socio-economical development compatible with the natural landscape of the area. Have you ever heard of a rare and precious wine curiously called Sciachetrà? It is a sweet wine, produced only here in very small quantities and is a trading symbol of these lands, made from the fermentation of grapes left to dry on trellises under the sun. The grapes of the Cinque Terre are used to produce two locally made wines: the Sciachetrà and the eponymous white Cinque Terre, both made using Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino grapes. These wines – together with Grappa and Limoncello – are produced by the Cooperativa Agricoltura delle Cinque Terre and other DOC producers. The trail connecting Riomaggiore to Manarola is called the Via dell'Amore (Love Path). It is a protected path, overlooking the sea and wheelchair-friendly. The stretch from Manarola to Corniglia is the easiest to hike, although it finishes with a climb of 368 steps. 16 GOLFO DEI POETI - CINQUE TERRE CRUISE TERMINAL PORT OF LA SPEZIA - WITH ITALY ALL-AROUND 17 On the table of the five coastal villages you can taste the typical dishes of the Ligurian cuisine: the Genovese Pasta al Pesto and especially the fish dishes, with some local specialties such as the famous anchovies from Monterosso.

  • Participatory Approach to Natural Hazard Education for Hydrological Risk Reduction
    Participatory Approach to Natural Hazard Education for Hydrological Risk Reduction Giovanna Lucia Piangiamore and Gemma Musacchio Abstract Modern Society needs interactive public discussion to provide an effective way of focusing on hydrological hazards and their consequences. Embracing a holistic Earth system Science approach, we experiment since 2004 different stimulating educational/communicative model which emotionally involves the participants to raise awareness on the social dimension of the disaster hydrogeological risk reduction, pointing out that human behavior is the crucial factor in the degree of vulnerability and the likelihood of disasters taking place. The implementation of strategies for risk mitigation must include educational aspects, as well as economical and societal ones. Education is the bridge between knowledge and understanding and the key to raise risk perception. Children’s involvement might trigger a chain reaction that reinforce and spread the culture of risk. No matter how heavy was the rain that hit our land in the past and recent seasons, we still are not prepared. If on one hand we need to fight against worsening Global Warming that trigger extreme meteorological events, we should also work on sustainable land use and promote landscape preservation. Since science can work on improving knowledge of phenomena, technology can provide modern tool to reduce the impact of disasters, children and adults education is the flywheel to provide the change. We present here two cases selected among the wide range of educational activities that we have tested and to which more than 2,000 students and adults have participated within a period of 12 years. They include learn-by-playing, hands-on, emotional-learning activities, open questions seminars, learning paths, curiosity-driven approaches, special venues and science outreach.
