Ruth Itinerary DAY ONE: Friday, August 10, 2012 Depart the United States for Rome via overnight flight. US Airways, flight 718 arriving at 8:50am the following day. DAY TWO: Saturday, August 11, 2012 Upon your arrival in Rome, you will be met outside of customs by an English-speaking driver who will transfer you privately to your hotel. After check-in, the remainder of the day is yours with which to explore Rome. Stop for coffee and gelato at a local café, and wander the city’s narrow streets before dinner this evening. Located in central Italy along the Tiber River, Rome has over 2,000 years of history that span from its origins as a small Latin village to becoming the center of a vast empire, as the founding city of Catholicism, and the modern capital city of Italy. Today, Rome remains the world's center of the Catholic Church, the heart of Renaissance and Baroque art, and the home to some of the world’s most astonishing ancient ruins, as it continues to rapidly evolve in the modern world. We will provide you with restaurant suggestions during your stay in Rome. Overnight 47 Hotel – Connecting rooms – 1 classic double room & 1 double deluxe room Contacts Luca: +39 3391018433; Lorenzo: +39 339 108 2339 DAY THREE: Sunday, August 12, 2012 After breakfast this morning, you’ll have a private car with an English-speaking driver and guide at your full disposal for an orientation tour of ancient Rome. Your guide will meet you at your hotel at 9:00am. Your first stop will be the Colosseum, the iconic symbol of Imperial Rome, and a masterpiece of classical architecture. Construction of the Colosseum, which was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, and was used for gladiatorial contests, began between 70 and 72 AD. Your tickets are pre-booked to avoid lines at the entrance. Next, you’ll visit Capitoline Hill (from the Latin word caput, or head), the most important of the seven legendary hills of Rome. From here, you’ll admire the Roman Forum, the largest open-air museum in the world and the true political, social, and economic hub of the city since the days of ancient Rome. An open area surrounded by the ruins of ancient government buildings, the Forum was the site of ancient elections, processions, and public speeches, and transmits a real sense of ancient Roman life. Along the front of the hill, you’ll see the Tabularium, the official records office of ancient Rome, which was constructed in 78 BC. Made of huge blocks of porous tufa built into rock, the building dominates the view of the hill from the Roman Forum. Palazzo Senatorio, the palace that stands above the Tabularium, remains the official seat of the mayor of the city and home to the Council of Rome. You’ll also visit Michelangelo’s superb piece of urban planning, the Piazza del Campidoglio, home to the famous gilded bronze equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, which was first documented in the 10th century, when it was believed to represent the Christian Emperor Constantine the Great. Via Sacra, the main street of ancient Rome running through the Forum to the Colosseum, was part of the route of Roman Triumph, during which the commanders of the Roman armies who were returning from the provinces were welcomed home. What fascinates most people about Rome is the fact that still, to this day, many of these ancient historical masterpieces are used as common modern buildings. A perfect example is the Theatre of Marcellus, an ancient open-air theatre with a 16th century palace built on top of it. Your final visit before lunch will be the church of St. Peter in Chains, home to Michelangelo’s Moses, one of his most powerful and expressive works. Sigmund Freud devoted an entire book to analyzing the feelings that animated Moses as represented in Michelangelo’s statue, which depicts two horns on his head as symbols of wisdom and enlightenment. Break this afternoon for a large Italian lunch before your tour continues. Your last guided stop of the day will be the Pantheon, a temple originally built in 27 BC, and rebuilt in 126 AD in honor of all of the gods of ancient Rome. The Pantheon survives virtually intact as the most magnificent symbol of the Roman Empire, with the world’s largest concrete dome. Very little has changed over 2,000 years, from the columns to the marble floor where emperors Hadrian and Charles V once walked. The guided introduction to ancient Rome comes to an end at 3:00pm. Your guide will discuss additional sites that you may wish to see on your own this afternoon. Set out for the Baths of Caracalla, the largest public bath complex in the whole of the Roman Empire. Visit the Christian catacombs and the monuments and ancient tombs along the Appian Way. Alternatively, explore the striking Lateran Complex, which includes the Lateran Palace, or Palace of the Popes, the Basilica of St. John Lateran and the first cathedral of Rome. Nearby, you will find the district where locals shop, along New Appian Way. ** This evening we will provide you with restaurant suggestions. Enjoy a meal of fresh pasta and simply prepared meat dishes accompanied by local Italian wines. Overnight 47 Hotel – Connecting rooms – 1 classic double room & 1 double deluxe room B DAY FOUR: Monday, August 13, 2012 After breakfast, you will be transferred to the Vatican at 9:00am. Spend the first half of your day visiting the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica with a private English- speaking licensed Vatican guide leading you on a tour through 2,000 years of history. With your pre-reserved entrance times to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, you’ll avoid waiting in the long lines. Learn about the great artists who helped to embellish one of the most fascinating sovereign states in the world. Visit the Vatican museums which include some of the world's most precious artistic and religious treasures, including the Galleries of Maps, Candelabras and Tapestries, the Raphael Rooms, Pinacoteca, and Michelangelo’s stunning frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Complete the tour with a visit to St Peter’s Basilica, which has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, and is lavishly decorated with marble, featuring splendid sculptures and mosaics of great historic and religious importance. Your guided visit lasts until 1:00pm. Spend the remainder of the day at leisure. You may wish to finish up some last minute shopping along the Via Cola di Rienzo, another popular local district. Or visit the top of Janiculum Hill, one of the best places in the vicinity to take in the incredible views of the Roman skyline. If you have an interest in gardens, head for the Trastevere district, on the far side of the Tiber River, where you’ll find the Botanical Garden of Rome, as well as several nice restaurants, small boutiques and charming alleyways.** We will provide suggestions for your dinner this evening. Overnight 47 Hotel – Connecting rooms – 1 classic double room & 1 double deluxe room B DAY FIVE: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 You will be met at your hotel this morning once again by private driver and guide, before departing at 9:00am for a tour of Baroque Rome. Begin with a visit to the Borghese Gallery, one of Europe's most extraordinary art experiences, and one of Rome's greatest patrician collections. Surrounded by parks and gardens, Villa Borghese was built in the 17th century as a pleasure house, and later served as a retreat where art was cultivated. The gallery’s masterpieces were commissioned by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V, who was a passionate art lover and an obsessive collector. Covering all the great periods of art history, Borghese assembled works by the finest talents--Bernini, Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio. To complete your experience, enjoy the Borghese Gardens, which are amongst the most famous in Italy, and offer stunning views over the Piazza del Popolo. To ensure your return to Rome, stop to throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, which was completed in 1762, and is the largest Baroque fountain in Italy. Next visit Rome’s most romantic square, Piazza Navona, beloved by Romans and visitors alike, and animated by street artists and performers of all kinds. The square is exceptionally long, owing its shape to the ruins that formed it, for under the buildings that surround the piazza are the remains of the Circus Domitianus, Domitian's stadium. Explore the narrow streets of old Rome stopping to find Pasquino, the most famous of the talking statues in the city. Stop for an espresso at the 18th century Caffe della Pace, a historical meeting point of both famous and local artists. Drive by the Piazza del Popolo, with a large Egyptian obelisk at the center of the square originally brought to Rome in 10 BC and placed in the piazza by Domenico Fontana in 1589 as part of the urban plan of Pope Sixtus V. Stop at the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, which features masterpieces by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Bernini. Continue on your own following the end of your tour at 2:00pm. Your guide will suggest additional activities and a nearby café for lunch. You can choose to visit the MAXXI, the National Museum of XXI Century Arts, located in Rome's Flaminio neighborhood. The building, a Zaha Hadid design which took 10 years to complete, was constructed on the site of the former Montello military barracks and was inaugurated in spring 2010.

    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

  • Water Events and Historical Flood Recurrences in the Vietri Sul Mare Coastal Area (Costiera Amalfitana, Southern Italy)
    The Basis of Civilization - Water Science? (Proceedings of the UNESCO/1 AI-IS/IWHA symposium held in Rome, December 2003). IAHS Publ. 286, 2004 95 Water events and historical flood recurrences in the Vietri sul Mare coastal area (Costiera Amalfitana, southern Italy) ELIANA ESPOSITO1, SABINA PORFIDO1, CRESCENZO VIOLANTE1, CHI ARA BISCARINI1, FIORENTINO ALAIA2 & GIUSEPPE ESPOSITO3 1 Istituto Ambieule Marino Cosliero, Calala Porta di Massa, intemo porto, 1-80133 Napoli, Italy eliana(5),gms01 .geomare.na.cnr.it 2 Archivio di Stalo di Avellino, Italy 3 Regione Campania, Napoli, Italy Abstract This study addresses problems pertinent to the municipality of Vietri sul Mare located in the southeastern comer of the Amalft coast (southern Italy). The physical landscape, the economic settlements, the social activity and the natural hazards characterizing this area depend particularly on water: meteoric, riverine and marine. Indeed Vietri sul Mare is located on a steep rocky coast deeply dissected by ephemeral water courses (the Stream Bonea basin) with human activities mainly developed on the narrow stream banks located at the base of steep sided valleys, or at the mouth of Stream Bonea. This exposes them to a high hydrogeological risk triggered by water events associated with heavy rain. Several historical sources report at least 22 flooding events for the Vietri area during the last three centuries, which caused severe damage. In this paper historical sources are combined with geological data in order to improve the mitigation of flood phenomena through the reconstruction of historical floods and the estimation of the associated risks. Key words flood; historical source; hydrological risk; rocky coast; Sorrento peninsula; southern Italy INTRODUCTION The study area is located on the southern flank of the Sorrento peninsula (Costiera Amalfitana), west of Salerno (southern Italy).

  • The Renaissance- Common Part B and C Questions- Sometimes Worth 5/10/15 Marks
    Caroline Mc Corriston The Renaissance- Common Part b and c questions- sometimes worth 5/10/15 marks 1. Discuss the High Renaissance period – *see first notes received on renaissance* 2. How did the work of Leonardo/ Michelangelo/ Raphael contribute to the High Renaissance? One of the greatest of Old Masters in the history of art, Leonardo da Vinci excelled as a ​ ​ painter, sculptor, engineer, architect and scientist. Along with Michelangelo (1475-1564) and Raphael (Raffaello Santi) (1483-1520), he is considered to be one of the three great creators of High Renaissance art in Italy (1490-1530). Renowned as a master of oil painting, including the painterly techniques of chiaroscuro (use of shadow to create a 3-D effect) and ​ ​ sfumato both techniques are visible in his masterpiece, Mona Lisa. Unfortunately, ​ ​ ​ ​ Leonardo's creative gifts were so diverse that he completed only a handful of artistic projects. Even so, he was responsible for several masterpieces of Renaissance art, including the Mona Lisa (1503-6, oil on panel, Louvre), one of the greatest portrait paintings; ​ ​ Vitruvian Man (1492), arguably the world's best known drawing; and The Last Supper ​ ​ (1495-8, oil and tempera fresco, Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan), one of the best known Biblical paintings of all time. Sadly only a fraction of his art survives (about 15 pictures in all), not least because of his thirst for (often disastrous) experimentation with new paint techniques. Even so, these few paintings, together with a number of sketchbooks crammed with examples of figure drawing (including some of the best drawings of the Renaissance), plus anatomical studies, scientific diagrams, and his views on the techniques and aesthetics ​ ​ of painting, comprise a legacy rivalled only by Michelangelo.
