is incomparable: not that it is not always a spectacle known for an administrative management that brought events of international stature here long ago Miriam and Antonio Magistro have given birth to Pepe Rosa They did this in the context of a modern and functional facility creating a restaurant project that challenges a restaurant world that is rather traditionalist in its gastronomic expression with its cuisine a decidedly eclectic 37-year-old who does not lack an authentic gourmand spirit told us how he took his first steps practically in the dark: "I've been doing this job for 10 years in 2016 I opened the first restaurant downtown I got into the hospitality business from the ground up I didn't even know what a glass was (laughs) although as a boy I always wanted to have a restaurant pushed me to open a first small restaurant with eight tables I have to be well prepared." So Antonio attended the F&B management course at Alma and other training areas until he became a trainer himself: “I also learned a lot from my mistakes is recruited to make a stronger leap toward fine dining it is worth trying.” Nothing is lacking at Pepe Rosa starting with the elegance of the interior spaces with the beautiful windows and understated style (which on the right days cannot compete with the live sunset overlooking the harbor) Miriam's tempting brother-in-law and husband six hundred and fifty labels with Sicily and Etna in the foreground but with ample references from the rest of Italy and France and other important wine areas from around the world Then if someone was looking for satisfaction in some blended wines The chef is a young man who here at Pepe Rosa has had his first direct responsibility for a kitchen amusedly tells us how his story as a chef began almost by chance: “Compared to many of my colleagues who perhaps tell us that they took this path thanks to their mother's or grandmother's cooking I found myself in it because at school I would have liked to choose anything else but in the end I decided on hotel management with the excuse that maybe there was less studying Then I started doing my first internships in the kitchens I got hooked and that's where it all started When I finished school I started to travel then to Positano to Le Sirenuse in the year the star arrived with Matteo Temperini." in Naples at Comandante with Salvatore Bianco After the pandemic "I took the ball and went to Therasia in Vulcano did two 2 years there at Cappero with Giuseppe Biuso as sous chef I decided to move closer to home and I found Antonio a very dynamic person who relieved me a lot with the new experience as chef aware of a path that has started well and at the same time always in search of stimulation: “Every kitchen is a world of its own I have absorbed a lot from my experiences and made my own thinking because I am of the opinion that without training there is no future: you risk standing still Capo d'Orlando is definitely not an easy place for such a big project but the goal is important and the fact that I can bring something different here stimulates me and gives me the strength to move forward and do better and better." His is a cuisine that does not disdain blending so in addition to ingredients from the island there are elements that can come from anywhere with oriental references and a constant dash of acidity to gracefully lighten his recipes and the remarkable experiments with cured meats and fish charcuterie are successful served with excellent self-produced bread and a lemon-ginger kombucha that mitigates the intensity tomato water and ricotta forte: aside there is a crostone of bread and oregano for scarpetta It could not miss a Km0 product (the name of the dish) in which the roasted eggplant is

ci ha chiesto qualcuno nei giorni prima della VELA Cup di Capo d’Orlando ed è stata – come sempre – una bellissima giornata di vela E pazienza se qualcuna delle oltre 45 barche iscritte si è fatta prendere dalla paura e non ci ha raggiunti al Marina di Capo d’Orlando Mentre usciamo dal porto e ci avviciniamo al campo di regata sul gommone appoggio ci accorgiamo subito che sarà una giornata divertente per gli equipaggi in mare e ad accompagnarlo ci si mette anche una bella onda di un metro e mezzo-due che però non spaventa gli equipaggi E poi c’è un sole che scalda a circa 25 gradi la temperatura Tra le 28 barche che hanno tagliato la linea di partenza nella mattinata di sabato 5 ottobre ci sono esemplari con qualche anno di vita restaurato dal nuovo proprietario Carmelo Isgrò (o meglio il Museo del Mare di Milazzo) presentato pochi giorni fa alla base di Luna Rossa a Barcellona durante la Coppa America (“Giuro finché c’ero io la finale era ancora in pareggio” ci tiene a sottolineare Carmelo) e alla sua prima uscita “ufficiale” proprio alla VELA Cup il catamarano ORC 42 del cantiere francese Marsaudon Composite Poi ci sono state storie e barche mitiche come il Duck 40 Paperini del 1992 di Paloma De la Torre (spagnola) e Andrea Guarracino (italiano) che tornando in Calabria da Roma hanno deciso di fermarsi a Capo d’Orlando per partecipare alla regata Ma la storia più incredibile della VELA Cup Capo d’Orlando è quella di Elda che alla sua prima regata – in equipaggio solo con il papà Carlo Bonomolo – ha addirittura vinto nella sua classe a bordo di Cucuncia un Oceanis 34 del 2011 (premiato anche come Elegant Boat) Rispetto alla partenza fissata alle ore 11:00 per la mattinata di sabato 5 ottobre la regata è partita un po’ in ritardo In effetti un po’ di onda in acqua c’è e anche il gommone dei posaboe fa un po’ fatica a delimitare il percorso Qualcuno infatti esce dal porto e poi comunica al VHF “Siamo troppo pochi a bordo per queste condizioni a malincuore… ma ci ritiriamo” Perché la giornata è veramente spettacolare e si vedono quasi perfettamente le Eolie proprio di fronte alle acque di Capo d’Orlando dove si svolge la regata con linea di partenza e d’arrivo coincidente: semplice e lineare ma con questo mare il divertimento è assicurato I primi equipaggi rientrano in porto – bagnati dalla testa ai piedi – dopo poco meno di un’ora e mezza Il podio in tempo reale è composto da Sagola Spartivento il Farr 45 di Battiston-Sorrentino-Fornich Dopo i consueti saluti e i ringraziamenti dei responsabili saliti sul palco l’architetto

was executed last week (5 June 2024) against a farmer suspected of misappropriation of EU agricultural funds equivalent to the value of the estimated damage the suspect successfully applied for over €190 000 in EU agricultural funds between 2017 and 2021 by falsely declaring ownership and possession of land in the Sicilian provinces of Messina and Syracuse he misled the Italian Agricultural

Imola and Brescia have the same points in the standings, but the yellow and blacks are 2-0 in direct clashes and it is for this reason that winning on the Island would access the first appendix of the post season. After having secured safety well in advance, Virtus is now playing for the chance of not going on holiday straight away, landing at the play in it would be a further step of growth for Galetti's group, the players, the club and those fans who will be in Capo d'Orlando today alongside the yellow and black colors. This evening Virtus will face a top-ranked team, the Sicilians are fourth behind Treviglio, San Vendemiano and Legnano, the score of 23 victories in 37 matches is top-notch and speaks volumes about the strength of the group coached by Domenico Bolignano. An important match also for Capo d'Orlando who must maintain their current position, the home team have the same points as Omegna and Mestre (46) and by winning they would maintain fourth place which leads to having the home field advantage in the playoffs to go up to Serie A2. There is a challenging match on the horizon, in a very hot sports hall where there will be no shortage of spectators for big occasions. Winning in Sicily is never easy and it won't be this time either. The challenge will be directed by Andrea Bernassola and Giorgio Silvestri, both coming from Rome. Today is the last match of the regular season, in the next few days, if the tournament has seen the curtain fall, the club will begin to outline the next corporate scenarios with the possible farewell of president Davide Fiumi.

"Earlier this morning, shortly after 5am, a member of the public located the body of a woman floating in the Fremantle Harbour," he said. "We believe the circumstances surrounding the lady's death and...the location in the harbour raise suspicion and the homicide squad are investigating at this point." Detectives examining the scene at the end of Capo D'Orlando Drive. (ABC News: Rebecca Trigger) Police have now identified the deceased woman, but did not release her name publicly.  Detective Senior Sergeant McDonald said police were focusing their efforts on trying to establish what her movements were prior to her death. Detective Senior Sergeant Greg McDonald said police are trying to establish the woman's movements leading up to her death.  (ABC News: Rebecca Trigger) The detective senior sergeant would not comment as to whether the woman had any visible injuries, and when asked if she appeared to be a younger woman, he said it was "a little difficult to say at this point". "She is a woman not a child, I think that's probably the safest thing for me to say at this point, so her age is not clear to us at this point," he said. Police officers stationed at the scene. (ABC News: Rebecca Trigger) Detective Senior Sergeant McDonald said forensic officers were on their way to the scene and said the fact her body was found in water could pose some challenges. "It does make things more difficult, however as I said, it's very early in the investigation so we don't know precisely what evidence we might recover but we'll be very thorough in what we do. "There's obviously a lot of work for us to do here, we've got quite a wide canvas going on to look for witnesses and any CCTV opportunities that may exist so that's a focus for us now as well." The woman's body has been removed from the scene. Detective Senior Sergeant McDonald said a number of vehicles found in the area would remain within the crime scene until it was known whether they were involved.

In these years of National B series, V Imolese has become in its own way, also thanks to Davide Fiumi, an important reality for organization at a sporting level. Once the season is over, we will move towards a change of president, and most likely the entry of a new name who can take over from Fiumi. The timing will depend on how much Galetti and his men will be able to extend the 2024/2025 competitive season.

what we were looking for With no disrespect to the French (we had some fabulous times there) we have come to love the Italian culture – the food the family atmosphere and the warm welcomes

enjoyed two seasons cruising the Pontine Islands Our Princess 54 L’amitié has given us everything we wanted – reliable and relaxed cruising with ample space and comfort for our three grown-up children and any visiting friends Robert’s Princess 54 L’amitié berthed in the shadow of Tropea’s historic buildings This is now our sixth season together and she seems able to cope with all sea conditions effortlessly We have always believed in preventative maintenance and we follow Volvo Penta’s service guidelines to the letter Gaeta hasn’t proved as much of a bargain as we had hoped The mooring fees are cheaper than the French Riviera but the boatyard costs are just as expensive Leaving the boat for the winter anywhere overseas is always an act of faith so good communications are crucial and in this respect Gaeta has worked well for us The obvious answer was to keep on heading south The rough plan was to cruise down to the toe of Italy explore the Aeolian Islands then hop across to the north coast of Sicily before heading west to the Egadi Islands – just a small voyage of around 800nm restricting each stage of the cruise to 10-12 days so we could come back to the UK regularly to recover from our exertions and catch up with other interests Key to this adventure was to take it slowly and enjoy the moment stopping off whenever and wherever we fancied Boating always brings its challenges and reading the pages of MBY you’d think it’s all plain sailing It rarely pans out that way and sure enough our departure was delayed by a faulty battery charger that was ‘over-cooking’ our domestic batteries and burning them out the weather finally improved in June and as we reached the Amalfi Coast Some of the on-shore experiences contributed massively to the overall pleasure of the cruise But not the Amalfi most tourists are familiar with If you walk through the over-crowded town and follow the only street heading uphill you eventually come to the Paper Mill Museum cross the road and you start the steep climb to a place of wonder – the Valle delle Ferriere The path takes you on a magical trek past a multitude of lemon groves to a stunning forest with fast-flowing streams My daughter said it was like something from Narnia L’amitié on a visitor’s buoy outside Positano during their cruise along the Amalfi coast We crossed the bay of Salerno and at Agropoli we visited Paestum the site of one of the biggest preserved Greek temples in Europe is extraordinary for one particular reason; it is the age-defying town where over 10% of the population lives to 100 or more The reason for this anomaly still isn’t fully understood but the Acciarolian love of locally-grown rosemary (the inspiration behind the launch of Rosemary Water in the UK) is rumoured to play a part It is rare to find a truly awful port in Italy but Camerota was the exception to the rule we motored cautiously through the heavily silted port entrance past garbage piled high to be directed to a berth in an area of the port that was thick with sewage and all kinds of unmentionable debris Unfortunately it was too late in the day to leave and we stayed the night paying for the pleasure in a charmless marina office filled with personnel who made no apologies for the state of the port after Camerota came the beautiful villages of Scario Our final leg of this journey took us to Tropea a delightful ancient town perched high on a cliff and a port that has undergone huge improvements Having casually asked where we could buy seven cases of bottled water to replenish supplies having bought and carried the water for us from the local supermarket Emily takes L’Amitie’s helm on another glorious Italian day we returned to pick up the trail by cruising to the Aeolian Islands somewhere I’d been longing to visit for years each very different to the other with their own unique characteristics From the actively steaming and sulphurous-smelling Vulcano to the one-village island of Panarea with its spectacular midnight waterfront fireworks festival and the tiny bolt-hole of Filicudi which is home to nothing but a solitary beach restaurant Salina was a haven of tranquil beauty while Lipari bustled with activity We even took time out to visit the brooding island of Stromboli proving a little too remote for our liking But it was on Stromboli that we had the most extraordinary and memorable experience The tiny port of Maretea in Southern Italy en route to Sicily and the Aeolian islands We had heard that the island was worth a visit and in particular a restaurant located halfway up the active volcano crater Having been taken by buggy up to the open-air restaurant it looked like any other outdoor Mediterranean eatery with 100 or so people enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner the deep rumble that emanated from the ground every 15 minutes followed by visible flames erupting just above where we were sitting It was only the calm way in which everyone carried on with their next course that convinced us all was as it should be after we had arrived at the neighbouring island of Filicudi our phones burst into life with dozens of messages from friends and family asking if we were still alive the volcano had a major eruption for the first time in 100 years Tragically a tourist was killed and everyone on the island had to flee for their lives With the prospect of a further eruption and the unlikely but possible eventuality of a tsunami we spent a very uneasy night at anchor watching and waiting for further news The family experienced a very close call with a brooding Stromboli which erupted a matter of hours after their visit Thankfully we awoke the next morning to find nothing more serious than a fine layer of black ash covering the hull Our next leg took us across to Sicily and along its northern coast Sicily is a very big island – almost 150 nautical miles from east to west Along the way we found the relatively new port of Capo d’Orlando offering great facilities and incredibly helpful staff The only drawback as a place to leave the boat for an extended stay is the 2.5-hour journey to either Catania or Palermo airports The north coast is beautiful but not blessed with many places to overnight We found a mooring in the small port and spent a delightful two days exploring this beautiful historic town We were warned that Palermo in August is unbearably hot and crowded with tourists so we decided to bypass it making a mental note to re-visit in spring or autumn Almost by accident we came upon a very special place San Vito Lo Capo – a stunning location and a tiny port We were so enamoured by the place and the helpful port staff that we took the risk of leaving L’Amitie there for a few weeks on a floating pontoon but very simple and basic with a multitude of great restaurants and lovely people On our return we pressed on to the Egadi Islands These are entirely unspoilt and we loved them so much that we actually made two trips here The tranquil fishing village of Scilla on the toe of Italy just a short hop across from Sicily One of the many attractions of the islands is that they form part of a marine reserve with managed mooring buoys You can either pay a flat fee for the duration of your visit or pay as you go We didn’t have any trouble finding a free one and knowing that they are 100% secure made for very relaxed overnight stays Marettimo and Favignana – all very different The port in Levanzo is not for visiting boats but there is a choice of beautiful bays in which you can pick up a mooring buoy The island is famous for the Grotta del Genovese caves Marettimo has a very small port for visitors but we chose another mooring buoy in a beautiful bay Everything was white-washed and picture perfect past extended families eating their dinner outside on long trestle tables Even the water is the colour of emeralds off Levanzo the jewel in the crown of the Egadi Islands The restaurant we settled on was Il Viliero – a big well-lit family affair with tables overlooking the sea Favignana was the most developed of the Egadi Islands – although that’s not saying much picturesque village with cobblestone streets and two central squares There are plenty of restaurants to choose from all bustling with tourists but not unpleasantly so We moored up to one of the two competing managed jetties The staff were helpful and the port has an unusual backdrop of an abandoned tuna fishing factory once the predominant industry of the Egadi Islands we found lots of beautiful bays to stop in all with the same secure buoys for safe overnighting The Prevezers take their time picking the perfect spot to drop anchor for lunch By the time October arrived my top priority was where to leave the boat for the winter Of the places we’d visited thus far Capo d’Orlando on the north coast of Sicily seemed like the best option but this would mean retracing our steps for three days of cruising we could carry on cruising round to the south coast of Sicily and hope to find somewhere there we decided to take dramatic action and head north-west across the sea to Sardinia We had been recommended a suitable port there by a friend at Ottiolu on the north-east coast of the island and this seemed the safest bet It’s a leap of faith leaving your pride and joy somewhere unfamiliar so the reassurance that there was ‘a man’ there who could be trusted to look after L’Amitié over the winter convinced us to make the trip Robert’s son Ben does the evening honours with hose and scrubbing brush in hand Although I consider ourselves quite brave motor boat owners seven hours of which would be out of sight of land I double and triple checked the fuel consumption figures for the Princess 54; in theory with full tanks and cruising at an average speed of 20 knots we should have enough fuel to keep the two 800hp Volvo D13s running for 13 hours We checked every weather forecast available and after a day’s delay for strong winds, we set off. It turned out to be a blissfully uneventful cruise with my wife and daughter both taking stints at the helm to help us all stay focused. With the autopilot engaged and no sign of any boats, long-distance cruising can become quite mesmerising so changing helm positions regularly was important Watching the sea for debris and monitoring the engines’ oil pressure and temperature and double-checking the plotter against the old-fashioned dashboard compass requires some concentration if our heading was out by a few degrees we could end up in Tunis Catching sight of land after a long cruise is always exciting Is it actually land you are seeing through the haze or just your imagination And will you arrive where you’d planned to And even though you think you’re almost there it is still another two hours before you actually reach port The final three days of our epic voyage was spent cruising north along the east coast of Sardinia we faced the strongest head winds of our entire four-month journey and by the time we finally reached Ottiolu as the very last moments of daylight faded the capitainerie had been monitoring our progress and welcomed us in with a warm greeting before helping us secure our boat for the winter It had been a wonderful few months exploring parts of Italy that not all boaters reach and the real joy is knowing that it’s not over yet We are already planning on exploring Sardinia in 2020 and beyond that but we can’t see ourselves moving L’Amitié from Italy any time soon First published in the March 2020 edition of Motor Boat & Yachting The TimesYou can’t help but wonder: why did it take us so long to find it Because just about every Mediterranean civilisation has washed across Sicily’s shores they all grew fat on this large island’s rich volcanic farmland gradually bequeathing it one of the most deeply layered cultures in southern Europe And yet it’s only recently that us Brits — educated or so we claim — have added Sicily to our must-visit list “In the mid-2010s we saw a surge in interest,” says Eleanor Poulton at Villatravellers the Sicilian villa-holiday specialist now has 65 properties on its books and reports growing demand for a more rustic-luxe style of holiday let with their light-touch refurbishments leaving old walls knobbly and pergolas draped with vines Combine two or three of these with the glittering mosaics of Palermo’s Palatine Chapel and ancient Greek temples around Agrigento and you’ve got the makings of one of the Mediterranean’s most fascinating — and surprising — fly-drives Recent big-news launches on Sicily’s coast are also changing the scene the eco-sensitive offspring of an Alpine hotel group now revitalised as a Four Seasons property and from next month appearing on our TV screens in the second series of HBO’s White Lotus Add Sicily’s gobsmacking scenery into the mix and it’s clear why the island is so desirable right now: desirable enough even for Mick Jagger who purchased a villa near the island’s southern tip last year and the warm weather holds until early November meaning it’s not too late for a last-minute jaunt if you can’t wait until next spring here are 25 of the island’s loveliest holiday properties ● Sicily travel guide Can’t tell if they are being good in the hope of going out Seem to lack the intent one sees in the eyes of SVs Brandon Triche of Boeheim's Army plays in a game against Armored Athlete in the Super Sixteen of The Basketball Tournament in Atlanta 2018 Dennis Nett | dnett@syracuse.comDennis Nett | dnett@syracuse.com .st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Donna Ditota | dditota@syracuse.comSyracuse The former Syracuse and Jamesville-DeWitt guard sustained the injury during the first game of the Italian Serie A2 championship series He said he “chipped a bone” in his right fibula (near his knee) about three minutes into that pivotal series His Capo d’Orlando team was subsequently swept 3-0 in the series That championship series loss deprived CdO of the right to advance to the A1 league - Italy’s best division - and sent De Longhi Treviso instead Triche returned to the United States last week and stayed a couple nights in New York with Boeheim’s Army general manager Kevin Belbey before heading home to Syracuse He has been prohibited from running and jumping for about three weeks while the bone heals and an MRI confirms its repair Since he has been home, he has been visiting a sauna twice a day to stretch and maintain his core strength. Working out in the sauna, he said, allows him to build a sweat and maintain his weight. He expects to start swimming within the next week. He also expects to play for Boeheim’s Army when The Basketball Tournament begins next month. “I’m fine. I feel good,” Triche said during a Monday morning phone conversation. “I’m just waiting for the bone to heal. But how I’m feeling, I believe everything will be fine." “It sounds like everything is on schedule," Belbey said. “I’m expecting Brandon to play -- it’s just a matter of getting his body right.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Orlandina Basket (@orlandinabasket) had authored a memorable season abroad before the injury He was the A2 league player of the year and guard of the year He won MVP honors in each of Capo d’Orlando’s first two playoff series and was named to the A2 playoff all-star team He averaged 24.1 points and 7.1 assists per game who has always been brutally honest about the state of his game characterized his 2019-20 season as “good” and “consistent.” He shot 50 percent overall 36 percent from the 3-point line and 79.3 percent from the free-throw line “But my lows didn’t affect my (scoring) numbers; it did affect my percentages At the end of the season I played really good The last three months I averaged like 30 points per game.” Triche hopes to parlay his successful season into a chance to play for a “high-level” team next year He expects to have about five more seasons left in his basketball prime and wants to optimize his skills during that span Belbey said he has watched game videos of Triche in Italy and believes he is brimming with confidence and playing at a high level Boeheim’s Army will play its first game July 26 at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena (More later today on possible players the Army could add before its first game.)
