Summers are very long, warm but breezy. Winters are short and P. 56 not very rainy. WIND The prevailing winds are westerly and they are often intense if not strong. During the summer, the daytime breeze is strong, but at night it is generally quiet. The sirocco blows forcefully and in the channels between the islands it raises a dangerous sea. The levante STRAIT winds are very rare and only blow in winter. OF CURRENTS SICILY The general current comes from the north to north-west and is weak, but in the channels between the islands, depending on the wind, local currents can be generated and caution is required. LANDSCAPE The three main islands differ from one another: the most imposing is Marettimo, with its elevations of almost Dolomitic appearance and vertical slopes overlooking the west; Favignana, then, has a low and flat part on the east side and an important elevation in the northern part; Levanzo, on the other hand, is rather high and uniform. The sandy beaches are small and rare and the coasts are mostly rocky. 48 | Il Portolano Il Portolano | 49 PAGE 112 DISCOVER FAVIGNANA 12° 20’ Porcelli Rock Capo Grosso P.ta dei Sorci + LEVANZO Y Area B + 38° Area A Y 00’ P.ta Mugnone Area B P.ta Troia P.ta l’Altarella Maraone + I.to Formica Y P.ta Pesce Cammello Area D 686 + Rock + Y M.Falcone Y MARETTIMO EGADI Area A P.ta S.Simone P.ta Libeccio ISLANDS Area C + Area C P.ta Faraglione Y Area B P.ta Bassana P.ta del Ferro P.ta Cortiglio Area B P.ta S.Nicola P.ta Sottile P.ta Campana P.ta Cala Grande FAV IGNANA P.ta Cala Rossa Area C P.ta Cala Rotonda Area D I.to Preveto AREA A I.to Galeotta P.ta Longa AREA B P.ta Tramontana AREA C P.ta Fanfalo P.ta Marsala AREA D MOORING FIELDS Area C I.to S.

B. EVANS ♦ LONDON STANLEY GIBBONS, LIMITED 391, STRAND, W.C. 1904 PREFACE H E Stamps of Sicily or, to use the official designation, of the “ Dominions beyond the Phare,” which formed part, under a separate Administration, of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, are so interesting, not only from an artistic, but also from historical and philatelic points of view, that a study of them grounded on official papers and on the examination of specimens in the collections of some of the leading specialists, seems to be entitled to particular attention from the philatelic public. Considering that the Postal Administration of Sicily contributed to our collections only one set of stamps, the use of which lasted for a period of less than nineteen months, the short history, from its adoption to its with­ drawal, seems to the mere casual observer to afford scope rather for an article than for a monograph. But if we take into consideration the historical period during which the life of these stamps lasted, the existence of different plates for certain values, some of which were subject to retouching ; the numerous shades in which the stamps were printed, and tfye fact that further issues were contemplated, at first by the Bourbon Postal Authorities and later on under the Dictatorship and Lieutenancy of the Sicilian Provinces, the field of our researches will soon be found to be much wider than could have been anticipated.

  • Cliffs and Quarries in the Eastern Coast of the Favignana Island (Sicily, Italy)
    Research & development Cliffs and quarries in the eastern coast of the Favignana island (Sicily, Italy) Favignana Island (Sicily, Italy) is a historical and environmental attraction site frequented by tourists especially during the long warm season of the year. Over several centuries the sea cliffs constituted by calcareous sandstone outcropping in the east side of the island have been exploited for the production of building stone. Currently the quarries used for the rock extraction as well as the natural cliffs are undergoing extensive erosional and gravitational processes. Besides putting at risk the safety of the people attending the area, the widespread rock falls are likely to threaten sites of great historical and anthropological value that, once destroyed, can no longer be reconstructed. The rock mass quality assessment and slope displacements monitoring of cliffs were conducted with the aim of identifying the most active areas and providing support to the local authorities in the implementation of effective and sustainable mitigation measures. If adequate measures are taken in the future, operators and users of the tourist circuit will have the opportunity to enjoy these amazing sites with a lower landslide risk DOI 10.12910/EAI2015-071 n L. Falconi, A. Peloso, A. Screpanti, A. Tatì, V. Verrubbi Introduction Sea cliffs often constitute environmental monuments of rare erosion rate can reach several decimeters per year [1]. beauty. Notwithstanding an apparent imperturbability, Although these processes are not the most dangerous these massive erosive landforms are subject to continuous landslide events, their magnitude in terms of volume and evolution due to the action of gravity and aggressive velocity of the paroxysmal phase may constitute a real exogenous agents.

  • Le Isole Minori Della Sicilia in Età Bizantina FERDINANDO MAURICI
    Le isole minori della Sicilia in età bizantina FERDINANDO MAURICI Partiamo da due considerazioni iniziali: 1) le isole minori della Sicilia sono quasi tutte abitate o almeno frequentate in età romana; 2) almeno da età normanna e fino alla metà del XVI secolo sono invece abitate solo le più importanti: Malta e Lipari (forse con Vulcano, Salina e Stromboli), Gozo e Pantelleria. Per le altre oc- correrà attendere perché si verifichino le condizioni per una nuova colonizzazione: Favignana sarà la prima, già alla fine del XVI-inizi del XVII secolo; Lampedusa e Linosa, popolate solo dalla metà del XIX secolo, saranno le ultime. La prima affermazione non ha bisogno di particolari commenti.
