It is often heard that fine-dining has no future
In reality this is an entirely superficial statement
because there is a world of nuance behind this definition
Underlying it is a fundamental issue: a fine-dining restaurant can function if there is a sound business idea behind it
This happens when the business is sound and is governed by those who know the reality of the restaurant business and its meanderings
It is therefore logical that Re Santi e Leoni
a leading creature in entrepreneur Lucio Giordano 's network of local restaurants with Luigi Salomone at the helm in the kitchen
and it is home to what is in fact Europe's largest permanent fair: a lively
bustling town that also knows how to respond appropriately with an important gastronomic offering
whose name is inspired by Giordano's three sons
is located in the renovated spaces of a beautiful late 19th-century building
there used to be first an old oil mill and then a store where you could buy oil and cured meats
in the background the open kitchen and to welcome guests the smiling staff
a young maître with solid experience (with studies as a cook) from the Comandante of the Hotel Romeo
where from commis to chef de rang she became first maître of the restaurant and then d'hotel
an expert sommelier who takes care of an important wine cellar
capable of recommending ad hoc routes that can also result in non-alcoholic or at least alternative areas; the fact remains that here the excellent Campania wine proposal is represented as it should be and it is always worthwhile to learn more about it
pragmatically talented chef who can skillfully reconcile the different areas of his role
is a predestinate: he works in his uncle's butcher shop
attends the hotel institute and on turning 18 goes to Sweden on a scholarship
We find him in Val Gardena and then again in Campania
first with Francesco Sposito at Taverna Estia for a couple of years and then at Mosaico with Nino di Costanzo
he will also be with the Izzo family at Piazzetta Milù
among the youngest Campanians to win their first Michelin star
There are also internships with Alessandro Gilmozzi in Cavalese and with Roy Caceres at Metamorfosi in Rome
in June 2020: he was supposed to open his own restaurant
but eventually he met Giordano and a partnership was born that would bring a star as early as November of that year
exploiting every possible synergy in a system that includes important receptions and catering
the first at Villa Re Santi e Leoni in Palma Campania
with a large terrace that allows a wonderful view all the way to the Gulf of Naples
Based on recognizable elements and an expertly sought quality
his is one of those ecumenical proposals that make gourmands and people who have less experience with haute cuisine happy
are immediate and usable but above all convince by immediacy
"I go ahead with my approach: the menu is traditionally oriented
We have about fifteen proposals that rotate with the seasons
and we manage well up to forty place settings.” This is why the presence of the a la carte menu is vital: "You can't take it away
unless you have a few tables in a protected setting like a hotel
There are customers who come twice a month
some even every week: we don't have the problem of saying 'if you occupy me you have to spend a figure.' If you want to work with 40 covers you don't have to look at yourself as a starred restaurant
Otherwise if you want to do only tasting you make 10 people at most
a certain number of employees you have to have them
Luigi recalls how-especially after the pandemic-the approach to work has changed: “There is no such thing as a 16-hour day anymore
because there's no point in arriving in the morning and shouting all the time."
in addition to a rich menu that also includes two choices of raw fish
there are Re with 4 more traditional courses
Santi in the middle with 6 proposals and a pinch more creativity and finally Leoni in which the chef expresses himself freely
there is a great research on harmony and balance
with a very clear purpose that is to seek an understandable and immediate expression: “it is the untrained customer who gives us the answer with his satisfaction.”
rather than venturing in search of satisfying small acolyte niches
Thus an itinerary at Re Santi e Leoni is under the banner of extreme pleasantness and at the same time never obvious
the 'Indonesian' style amberjack ceviche with a coconut sauce
Succulent and of beautiful complexity is the cod in scapece with fried zucchini
accompanied by a masterful almond ricotta and ponzu sauce
is the fish risotto cooked in the broth of barbecued heads with salmoriglio mousse and marinated amberjack
Gorgeously scented and perfectly al dente fusilloni with sea and mountain herbs
perfectly mitigated by the bitter note of Campari
a colorful and very tasty version of modern parmigiana
We end with a couple of excellently crafted desserts

Landslides represent a severe geohazard in many countries
The availability of inventories depicting the spatial and temporal distribution of landslides is crucial for assessing landslide susceptibility and risk for territorial planning or investigating landscape evolution
these inventories are usually affected by limitations due to their nonpublic availability and inhomogeneities in characterization and mapping
Such problems are fully recognizable by the analysis of the multiple landslide inventories of the Campania region
which is one of the Italian regions with the highest exposure to landslide hazard and risk
a revised Landslide Inventory of the Campania region (LaICa)
resulting from the processing of multiple existing landslide inventories
It aims to (i) provide a new geodatabase that is able to overcome issues derived from the coexistence of multiple inventories and (ii) provide a methodological paradigm able to support the reorganization of existing official inventories
will possibly improve the assessment of landslide susceptibility and then reassess the related risk
knowledge of the spatial and temporal distribution of landslides is crucial for the assessment of related hazards to support a comprehensive risk assessment
It is also of high importance for the analysis of landscape evolution and sediment budget from slope to basin scales
accounting for approximately 23,500 records in the Campania region
the implementation of a consistent and homogeneous landslide geodatabase is intended to i) provide a new geodatabase able to overcome issues deriving from the coexistence of multiple inventories and ii) provide a methodological paradigm able to support the reorganization of existing official inventories at a national scale
The implication of the Landslide Inventory of the Campania region (LaICa) will possibly improve the assessment of landslide susceptibility
Developing the LaICa geodatabase has been conceived
promoting an improved assessment of landslide susceptibility and hazard zoning at different scales
as well as supporting research activities and interdisciplinary collaborations
The LaICa geodatabase was funded by the H2020 LandSupport (LS) (www.landsupport.eu) project
which aims to develop a geoSpatial DSS (S-DSS) open-access platform to be used for guiding land policies within EU countries under the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals
The development of the landslide inventory followed three steps: (i) analysis of available databases; (ii) processing of geometries and attributes; and (iii) implementation of the new landslide database, including technical validation and quality assessment. A workflow of these steps is illustrated in Fig. 1.
Workflow of the approach used to implement the LaICa inventory
Landslide geodatabases for the Campania region were collected from three sources of data: (1) public domain data gathered from the seven Unit of Managements (UoMs) of SAHD
corresponding to the former BAs; (2) public domain data from the Italian Landslide Inventory (IFFI); and (3) literature data
including scientific articles and reports regarding some inventories of high-magnitude landslide events
such as the methods used for data extraction
Extension of the seven UoMs covering the Campania territory
Comparison of landslide types 1 to 7 recognized in the landslide geodatabase reconstructed by UoMs and considered for implementing the LaICa inventory
Key words: UoM Volturno (ITN011); UoM Liri-Garigliano (ITN005); UoM Campania Nord Occidentale (ITR151); UoM Sarno (ITR154); UoM Destra Sele (ITR152); UoM Sinistra Sele (ITR153); and UoM Interregionale Sele (ITI025); Italian Landslides Inventory (IFFI)
Records from published articles and reports related to Naples and Pozzuoli inventories
were implemented into the UoM ITR151 database
1,322 landslides that occurred from 1816 to 2020 were mapped and implemented in a geodatabase following the same structure as the ITR151
All new data were merged and implemented in the ITR151 geodatabase
the risk of an incomplete number and representation of records was inevitably accepted (only ≈1% of total records)
landslide inventories published in scientific papers and mostly related to high-magnitude and catastrophic landslide events were considered to increase the database significance (0.8% of total records)
the same approach cannot be considered for the remaining IFFI records that do not overlap with the SAHD records
Such a decision is based on the uncertainty of several missed or incorrectly/differently detected and positioned IFFI records (see the Technical Validation paragraph for more details)
the structure of the alphanumerical database is described below:
Landslide identification information, including six fields (Fig. 3): “REC_ID”
A new ID was assigned to records (geometry) by merging ISTAT (Italian national STATistical institute) codes of the region
a record with the ID “1565138-DT01132” means: ‘15’ = Region’s code for Campania; ‘65’ = Province’s code; ‘138’ = Municipality’ code; DT = landslide zone; and 01132 = polygons’ incremental number
a preliminary lack of geographical information existing for ≈80% of records was fixed through the intersection of the LaICa cartographical database with the administrative boundaries (available from sit2.regione.campania.it/content/dati-di-base) in a GIS environment
specific fields related to the landslide ID in the original database (UoM or IFFI)
were also implemented in the new geodatabase to create links to official databases still in force
Structure of the LaICa alphanumerical database with all fields described
In comparison with the preceding landslide geodatabases
the LaICa can be appraised for the improvement in the (1) accuracy of records; (2) homogenization of existing official landslide geodatabases; and (3) reliability of the inventory in the framework of an improved reanalysis of landslide susceptibility from municipal to regional scales
the rearrangement of available information allowed fully detailed records to be obtained for 15% of records
with only 3% characterized by a total lack of information
the information that is most lacking is the date of the landslide event and details about damage and/or casualties and triggering causes
this information was available or inferred for only less than 3% of all records
the LaICa geodatabase could be considered a reference for implementing landslide geodatabases in other regions affected by similar inconsistencies in existing landslide inventories
the structure and approach used by the LaICa would be replicated
favoring analyses of a unique and homogeneous landslide inventory
Number of records and percentage of landslide types for the five provinces of the Campania region.
Number and percentages of landslide events divided by the type and areas in the Campania region and its provinces
Key words: D) detachment; D/T) detachment/transit; T) transit; Gravit.) gravitational; Def.) deformation
Based on the approach used to implement the LaICa
some technical limitations need to be stated
The LaICa inventory resulted from processing different preexisting landslide inventories
comprising records gathered on different dates: 2006 for IFFI
2016 for UoMs and 2020 for information from scientific articles and reports
the LaICa was not homogeneously updated over the Campania region
Such a condition is also due to the limitation of merging ≈1,500 IFFI records that do not overlap with SAHD records
nonreplicable analyses are required to achieve this goal
it must be mentioned that LaICa records were processed based on landslide classification and detailing
No geometries (dots or polygons) were modified in terms of extension
shape and/or positioning to preserve the integrity of raw records and replicability of our analyses
the presence of some cases of errors in the geometric representation was inevitably accepted
scientific articles and reports were initially implemented for the reconstruction of landslide susceptibility maps
in the case of two events inventoried in the same location
the latest event prevails over the first event so that the same landslide area is not counted twice
This aspect mostly coincides with large phenomena
such as deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) or diffuse deformation areas
some technical limitations caused by a lack of information affecting some fields of LaICa records may exist
especially for specific analyses focused on landslide hazards or risk assessments
The LaICa geodatabase is available in the repository49
It is intended to be open and available to all landslide researchers and professional users
Data generated in this work are accessible from the repository in which a single packaged zip archive named “LaICa_database” was uploaded
It contains a “READ_ME” text file that provides guidance information for users and two subfolders: “LaICa_Metafiles” and “LaICa_Inventory”
The contents of the files and subfolders within the zip archive are described below:
“LaICa_Metafile_Polygons” and “LaICa_Metafile_Points”
which provide a summary of all LaICa records attributes (see the Data records section)
LaICa_Inventory contains the cartographical/alphanumerical geodatabase divided into two SHAPEFILES: “LaICa_polygons” and “LaICa_points”
The first shapefile contains 81,216 features (polygons)
All features are projected in the WGS 84/UTM zone 33 N coordinate system
The majority of the work was carried out by QGIS v.3.16.4
but all items were produced in a format importable into any other GIS software
Despite the high number of features mapped
there are many more landslide occurrences that can be recognized
Further versions of the LaICa database will integrate other information derived from field surveys
No customized code was produced to prepare or analyze the dataset because software that works in a GIS environment is required to open and process the LaICa dataset. Specifically, we used and suggest the open-source QGIS software available in different releases at https://qgis.org/it/site/
further specific software (open-source or licensed) is required to open and process CSV files associated with the LaICa database

which is included in the alerts of the list of priority organisms by the EU
has been found in some orchards in the province of Naples
these appear to be the first findings on a regional and national scale
other findings have been reported at some entry points in France on imported fruit
"We found a number of specimens of Bactrocera dorsalis in 2018 for the first time
after which we began to carry out monitoring activities in the field
placing various traps for this parasitic insect
there have been copious findings of the species and the situation is becoming alarming
we have found just over 700 specimens in the area that falls between the municipalities of Palma Campania and San Gennaro Vesuviano
in the province of Naples," said Francesco Nugnes
a researcher at the Institute for the Sustainability of Plants of the CNR in Portici (Naples)
"We are assessing whether the species has been able to acclimatize and whether the colder temperatures of winter will block the the biological cycle of the alien species
but it is known to its spread in the sub-Saharan belt of Africa and a recent shift of some populations to northern China
regions that have a climate similar to the Mediterranean
Distinctive traits"Although we talk about Bactrocera dorsalis
from a taxonomic point of view it is more correct to speak of the complex Bactrocera dorsalis
which includes a collection of several species
It is very difficult to recognize the oriental fruit fly from solely damage
Often the damage from the larvae of this alien species is confused with those of the well-known Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata
laboratory tests must be carried out," explained Nugnes
can be distinguished as the following: the adult of C
capitata can measure 4 to 5 mm and has typical stripes on its wings
and on the thorax has so-called yellow vitte (or stripes) while on the abdomen there is a typical T-shaped pattern
dorsalis can be confirmed by the use of traps activated with specific attractants."
Damage"Bactrocera dorsalis is a polyphagous species
dorsalis lay eggs (more than one per fruit)
It is estimated that one female adult can lay up to 3,000 eggs
The insect generates both direct damage such as early fruit dropout
as well as indirect damage with attacks by various pathogens such as fungi and molds."
How to control the alien species?"We are trying to monitor the presence of Bactrocera dorsalis through the installation and control of traps
trying to see if the affected area has expanded
The Italian Ministry has been alerted and a crisis discussion table has been opened so that we can quickly figure out how to counter this new threat,” concluded Nugnes
There are several solutions that have already been included in the plan of action drawn up by the Campania Region with a committee of experts
Many of the possible actions have already been put in place by the regional government

The carabinieri of the Palma Campania station investigate the incident
A carousel collapsed last night in a funfair set up in Palma Campania (Naples)
The injuries are minor and there are no people in danger of life
the carabinieri of the Nola company intervened
the surveys were carried out by the soldiers of the Castello di Cisterna investigative unit
MULTIPLE people have been left injured after a chair swing carousel collapsed at a funfair
Officials say at least 20 of those on board - half of them children - were hurt when the ride toppled over in full flight at a festival in Palma Campania, Italy
remains in hospital in Naples in wake of the incident
Dramatic phone video footage of the drama shows the chair swing in operation before its base starts to wobble uncontrollably
spectators begin to flee and the chair swing topples over onto its side
Local police are now said to be investigating the accident at the Madonna delle Grazie (Our Lady of Graces) festival
They are investigating a person allegedly responsible for the fairground malfunction - a woman from nearby Poggiomarino - for causing injury through negligence.
They have seized papers from her detailing the fairground's insurance policy and the carousel's last technical test.
Palma Campania mayor Nello Donnarumma reported that the incident took place just hours before the fairground was due to be dismantled.
Footage showed the kids' faces turn from delight to panic as they became locked in their seats as the ride faltered just moments after it set off
One of hurt youngsters said the ride "flew through the air" after breaking
He told local media: "While we were swinging
"The ride flew through the air and landed upside down
"I hit my head and I also have bruising on my foot."
Meanwhile, another dramatic showed the moment fair goers were left hanging upside down 130ft above the ground when a ride failed
The fun-seekers were left stranded for up to 40 minutes when a new ride at a Russian amusement park broke down when it was being tested
The ride, called “Booster”, broke down at the Kyrlay amusement park in the city of Kazan, south-western Russia last summer

Since the '80s a union of interests between the Camorra (an organized crime group active mainly in Naples and the surrounding region of Campania), the industrialists and the Neapolitan and Campania political class has poisoned this part of Italy, which is amongst the most beautiful areas in the country. The blogger, Enzo Ciacco, writes on lettera43.it:
I territori colpiti dai veleni di camorra sono quelli tra le province di Napoli e Caserta
L’area è compresa tra i comuni di Qualiano
A firmare il Patto per la Terra dei fuochi
sono stati ben 57 comuni tra Napoli e Caserta
Ma la verità è che nessuno sa quanti e dove siano i rifiuti tossici sepolti nel corso degli anni nell’area
The areas affected by the Camorra's toxic waste are those between the provinces of Naples and Caserta
57 municipalities between Naples and Caserta signed the Land of Fires Pact on July 11
But the truth is that no one knows in how many places and where the toxic waste has been buried in the area over the years
has found more than 2,000 contaminated sites
Enrico Ferdinandi quotes the reformed mafioso, Carmine Schiavone's 1997 declarations made in front of the parliamentary committee on Ecomafias
and whose confessions brought down the Casalesi clan
Avevamo creato un sistema di tipo militare
con ragazzi incensurati muniti di regolare porto d’armi che giravano in macchina
venivano scaricati di notte e le pale meccaniche vi spargevano sopra del terreno
Ma talvolta la spazzatura finiva anche a 20 o a 30 metri di profondità
Nei verbali si può apprendere che alcuni rifiuti radioattivi
per la precisione fanghi nucleari provenienti dalla Germania: «dovrebbero trovarsi in un terreno sul quale ci sono le bufale e su cui non cresce più erba»
with boys with no criminal records and a valid firearms license in the car
police and finance police uniforms and signalling disks
was unloaded at night and the bulldozers would cover it with earth
But sometimes the rubbish ended up 20 or 30 metres deep
The records show that some radioactive waste
from Germany: “should be in a field where there are buffaloes and where the grass does not grow“
The effects on health, above all, are disastrous. The website laretenonperdona.it indicates the illnesses that the population is suffering from:
In questi territori sono stati riscontrati picchi di patologie quali tumori allo stomaco
alla pleura e alla vescica nonché malformazioni e difetti congeniti.
In these areas rates of disease increased such as stomach
pleura and bladder cancers as well as malformations and birth defects
Quoting Gaetano Rivezzi, president of the Italian section of the International Society of Doctors for the Environment (ISDE) [en] in Campania, the website liberainformazione.org published the following:
… in alcuni distretti c’è stato un aumento del 300% di queste malattie in pochissimi anni
L’esempio più eclatante è il distretto di Frattamaggiore
5 comuni con un bacino di 100 mila abitanti: qui i medici hanno registrato 136 casi nel 2008 diventati 420 nel 2012
Poi ci sono i numeri del distretto di Casalnuovo – precisa – qui i codici 048
… in some areas there was a 300% increase in these diseases in just a few years
The most striking example is of the district of Frattamaggiore
containing 5 municipalities with a catchment area of 100,000 inhabitants: here doctors registered 136 cases in 2008 which rose to 420 in 2012
Then there are the figures of the Casalnuovo district – he adds – here the 048 codes
have risen from 384 to 622 in 5 years.

Annalisa Tancredi on ambientequotidiano.it, analyses the consequences of this pollution
sono ancora oggi coltivati dai contadini che producono verdure ed ortaggi di ogni genere – come pomodori
e li rivendono nei mercati ad aziende multinazionali per la produzione di passate di pomodori e minestroni surgelati che vengono rivendute non solo in tutta Italia
ad essere contaminati non sono solo i terreni e le falde acquifere
ma anche gli allevamenti che mangiano e bevono i prodotti di questa terra. Un ex allevatore ha denunciato la morte di 2.700 su 3.000 capi di bestiame a causa di malattie
deperimento e malformazioni alla nascita: ha raccontato di veri e propri mostri delle malformazioni genetiche come agnelli con due teste o con la coda sullo stomaco
are still cultivated by farmers who produce all kinds of vegetables and pulses such as tomatoes
and sell them on to markets and multinational companies who produce pasta sauces and frozen soups that are sold not only in Italy but also in Europe and the rest of the world…
not only the land and groundwater have been contaminated
but also the livestock that eats and drinks this land's produce. A former farmer has reported the deaths of 2,700 out of 3,000 head of cattle due to disease
decay and birth defects: he told of real monsters with birth defects like lambs with two heads or with a tail coming out of their stomach
Faced with this situation, the inhabitants of the infected areas have many concerns. In a post Giuliana Caso comments on the people's anger and asks herself:

Perché tutto quello che ha saputo produrre l’ex ministro della sanità Renato Balduzzi è stato un miserabile progetto di studio
Le pecore deformi di Alessandro Cannavacciuolo non sono abbastanza
Le decine di bambini morti non sono abbastanza
Le centinaia di casi di tumore non sono abbastanza
I contadini criminali e ignoranti che hanno irrorato i campi con il mix letale di concime e veleni del nord non sono abbastanza
Che accidenti ancora serve perché si dichiari lo stato emergenza
Why has the former Health Minister Renato Balduzzi only been able to produce a pitiful draft project
Are Alessandro Cannavacciuolo's deformed sheep not enough
Are hundreds of cases of cancer not enough
Are criminal and uneducated farmers who sprayed the fields with a lethal mix of fertilizers and poisons from the north not enough
What else do you need to declare a state of emergency
While letteradonna.it notes that:
L’emergenza ambientale nella Terra dei Fuochi ha provocato un effetto psicosi nella vendita dei prodotti tipici
dalla mozzarella di Bufala Dop all’ortofrutta
Lo dice la Cia-Confederazione italiana agricoltori
sottolineando che nonostante le rassicurazioni di istituzioni e associazioni di categoria
i consumatori continuano a identificare la Campania con quella limitata porzione di territorio regionale devastato da roghi e veleni
L‘effetto-fuga dai prodotti campani può diventare pericoloso per l’economia e l’occupazione
visto che si tratta della terza regione in Italia per produzione agricola con oltre 136 mila aziende e 65 mila addetti
The environmental emergency in the Terra dei Fuochi has caused a psychosis effect in the sale of typical products
The CIA – Italian Farmers Confederation
despite the assurances of institutions and associations
consumers continue to identify the Campania region with that small part of the region ravaged by fires and toxins
Avoiding Campania products can become dangerous for the economy and employment
as it is the third region in Italy for agricultural production with over 136,000 companies and 65,000 employees
Following a letter from Cardinal Sepe and the bishops of the dioceses of the Terra dei Fuochi, the head of state, Giorgio Napolitano, has called on the government to deal firmly with this emergency. The website lettera43.it quotes his letter:
“IL GRIDO DELLE MADRI”. Nella sua lettera
Napolitano ha ricordato “il grido accorato delle madri dei bambini colpiti da gravi patologie tumorali ricondotte al criminale inquinamento dei vostri territori della Campania”
rinnovando “la mia intima partecipazione al loro dolore
confidando che non abbandonino la fiducia nell'impegno delle istituzioni
reso più coeso e credibile anche grazie alla partecipazione attiva della rete di comitati e singoli cittadini che non si contentano di denunciare i crimini subiti
le operazioni di monitoraggio e di bonifica dei siti”.
Napolitano noted “the anguished cry of the mothers of children with serious tumours linked to criminal pollution of areas of Campania
[renewing] my intimate involvement with their grief
trusting that they do not abandon their trust in the commitment of the institutions
made more cohesive and believable thanks to the active participation of the network of committees and individuals who are not content with only denouncing the crimes suffered
but support monitoring operations and site decontamination with their initiatives.”

Che se vedono gente appiccare fuochi all'immondizia possono arrestarli

“We'll send the army to counter the eco-mafia”
that if the military see people illegally dumping substances in the ground they can shoot
That if they see people set fire to garbage they can arrest them
If that's not what they are here for then leave them in the barracks
Lettore_519922815 GENNAIO 2014 | 13.25
Meglio impiegare questi soldi per carabinieri e polizia e corpo forestale che hanno compiti investigativi
Servivano venti anni fa quando gli sversamenti erano in atto
cosa che può avvenire con indagini per capire chi ha interesse e chi è l'autore dei roghi tossici
Lettore_519922815 JANUARY 2014 | 13.25
It would be better to use this money for the Carabinieri and the police and the forest rangers who have investigative duties
We needed them twenty years ago when the dumping was taking place
which can be done with investigations to find out who is to gain and who is creating the toxic fires
