(Campania) per la cui riqualificazione è già pronto un progetto all’avanguardia In un Paese come l’Italia fondato sul mare al centro del Mediterraneo e circondato da oltre 8.000 chilometri di costa i porti turistici rappresentano uno snodo cruciale e strategico non solo per la diffusione del turismo nautico ma soprattutto per il rilancio dell’economia e la promozione del nostro territorio nonostante l’aumento progressivo del numero dei posti barca e la realizzazione di strutture efficienti e all’avanguardia Marina Cala de’ Medici solo per citarne alcune rimangono una serie di criticità che frenano il settore: strutture vecchie e in stato di abbandono concessioni scadute e connessioni ferroviarie e stradali inefficaci A ciò si aggiungono lungaggini burocratiche e sovrapposizione di competenze tra enti di controllo le attività speculative e gli abusivismi edilizi lungo costa A farne le spese sono soprattutto i diportisti che invece di essere in qualche modo incoraggiati nella loro passione per l’andar per mare vengono di fatto ostacolati da una rete di porti piena di buchi e incertezze Purtroppo è la struttura stessa di un porto a essere complessa grande e ingombrante che nasconde al suo interno aspetti tecnici La gestione di un porto mette insieme tante voci tanti interessi e spesso trovare la quadra è un’impresa titanica Anche perché tra tutte queste teste in gioco si parla poco e male Ognuno viaggia da solo e non si fa un vero ed efficace lavoro di squadra È il caso per esempio del Porto di Torre del Greco dove da anni si parla di un progetto di riqualificazione ripensamenti e tira e molla vari tra Comune e Regione ma che da oltre 15 anni risiede all’estero un armatore e soprattutto un Ingegnere che con il porto della sua città ha da sempre un rapporto speciale E’ lui che ci ha segnalato questa situazione di “stallo” “Del rifacimento di questo porto sento parlare da oltre vent’anni sia da chi sul mare ci lavora e anche da parte delle istituzioni che via via si sono succedute nelle varie amministrazioni riqualificarla e ampliarla con nuovi posti barca e servizi risponde a un esigenza non solo della nostra città ma di un bacino di potenziali utenti molto più grande Parliamo infatti di un approdo assolutamente strategico per il turismo nautico del centro Italia Siamo esattamente a 15 miglia da Capri e altrettante da Ischia e Procida I marina turistici operativi in questa zona sono quelli di Salerno oggettivamente piuttosto lontani da Torre del Greco” “Torre del Greco è una città marinara che da sempre è popolata anche dai pescatori Qui c’è ancora un’importante flotta di pescherecci che nonostante le difficoltà degli ultimi anni in qualche modo resiste alla crisi del settore e lavora in tutte le stagioni con diversi operatori che hanno la propria sede proprio all’interno del porto La struttura si trova peraltro nel cuore del centro cittadino” In generale la zona portuale si presenta abbastanza degradata Il bacino è protetto da un molo di Ponente sul quale insistono poco meno di 10 pontili ognuno dato in concessione e gestito in maniera indipendente da altrettanti operatori la maggior parte di queste concessioni sono in via di scadenza o addirittura già scadute Sul lato opposto del bacino ci sono invece la sede del Circolo Nautico di Torre del Greco e il molo dei pescatori ma che ora è occupato dai capannoni dei cantieri alcuni in attivita’ principalmente di rimessaggio I posti barca attualmente sono pochi e limitati: già ormeggiare una barca di 12-14 metri diventa difficile perché i fondali del porto garantiscono 8-9 metri di pescaggio” “L’idea principale è quella innanzitutto di riqualificare tutta la zona del porto Qui si vorrebbe creare una grande ‘piazza sul mare’ parcheggi e spazi vivibili da tutti i cittadini Quindi raddoppiare gli spazi tecnici e operativi della struttura per aumentare sia il numero dei posti barca che di servizi nautici Nel progetto figura anche la costruzione di un auditorium da destinare a eventi E poi ancora si vogliono inserire delle nuove aree operative” “La nuova area da riqualificare sarebbe quella più a Sud attualmente occupata da un muraglione costruito negli Anni 70 per proteggere l’adiacente ferrovia Borbonica che un tempo arrivava fino a Portici e poi è stata prolungata La ferrovia in pratica taglia in due Torre del Greco privandola del suo naturale contatto con il mare Ci sono dei sottopassi della ferrovia che accedono al mare La spiaggia con gli anni è stata progressivamente erosa dal mare e ad oggi non è balneabile Il progetto in quest’area prevede di costruire un nuovo braccio del porto per guadagnare terra dal mare procedere quindi a un interramento e trasferirci le sedi dei cantieri navali ancora operativi” che peraltro è molto all’avanguardia e sostenibile a livello ambientale ha tutte le caratteristiche per ottenere i fondi europei del PNRR ed è stato promosso dal Comune di Torre del Greco già dal 2021 È frutto di anni di lavoro e io stesso seppure in maniera indiretta ho avuto modo di partecipare alla sua ottimizzazione Addirittura il Presidente della Regione Campania preceduto da una serie di studi ambientali ed archeologici di fatto è stato già approvato dalla Giunta Comunale e nell’ultima versione inviato ufficialmente alla Regione nell’ottobre 2024 L’ente regionale tuttavia ha una gestione centrale di tutti i progetti sul territorio campano la riqualificazione del porto rimane ancora in coda con i cittadini di Torre del Greco che rischiano così di perdere una grande opportunità Manca lo studio definitivo del progetto e l’istituzione della gara per l’appalto a mio avviso il vero problema è la comunicazione tra gli enti” qui siamo tutti un po’ figli della cultura napoletana votata alla rassegnazione e alla filosofia “adda passà a nuttata…” Peccato però perché la stessa città di Napoli negli ultimi anni ha conosciuto una riqualificazione enorme è diventata oggettivamente molto più bella e attrae se possibile ancora più turisti del passato Per cui oggi i cittadini campani sono ancora più consapevoli che è possibile lavorare bene e riqualificare il nostro territorio Dovrebbero essere le istituzioni ad attivarsi per tempo e segnare la nuova rotta” Quella di Porto di Torre del Greco è solo una delle tante situazioni critiche che si registrano oggi in Italia disagi e progetti di ristrutturazioni mancate sono quelli di Civitavecchia E troppo spesso gli enti governativi rimangono inermi Manca una visione strategica coordinata e un lavoro integrato a livello amministrativo che unisca innovazione sostenibilità e formazione su tutto il territorio italiano Solo così sarà possibile garantire ai porti italiani il ruolo di scali strategici per il turismo

It was to be a routine delivery: bringing my boat home from the Mediterranean, sailing from Tunisia up along the west coast of Italy to Genoa, where I would put Ranger on a freighter to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  But it turned out to be a journey of ­discovery. A sail into the past, along a landscape so choked with beauty and bounty, hazards real and imagined, ancient myths and contemporary events, all amid rolling seas and emotions. Five knots was too fast to absorb it. Only now, years later, have I found the storyline. In 800 miles, I traveled through 2,000 years of marine navigation, from a continent once skirted by Phoenicians who lit fires as waypoints, to the creation of nautical charts and compass wayfaring, to explorations of the entire world. It was all capped, in the 1980s, with the invention of electronic charts.   On a rhumb line, Genoa lay 500 miles to the north. Pushing my 1970 Allied Seabreeze yawl, I could have motorsailed it in five days. But to pass by the Italian coast would have been a crime punishable by regret. I set aside two months and invited three mates to join me for ­successive segments. The night before our departure in March 2012, a cold Sahara wind whistled through a thousand shrouds. Little did we know that 100 miles away, two boats carrying sub-Sahara Africans were wallowing toward the Italian island of Lampedusa, where they’d hoped to find asylum. One boat with 50 souls landed the next day. The other, with 60 people including two pregnant women, was found in distress a few days later, with five passengers dead. As that tragedy unfolded, Wally and I were motorsailing toward Trapani on the toe of Sicily, 150 miles and a First World away. There, we enjoyed a beer and baked redfish that Wally caught en route. From Sicily, under jib and jigger, we made 6 knots bearing 31 degrees across a lumpy Tyrrhenian Sea, marked by mythic wakes of Odysseus. In his famous book, Homer had left a spaghetti snarl of supposed routes and infamous dangers.  “It would be tempting to treat the Odyssey as a Baedeker’s guide to the Mediterranean,” writes David Abulafia, the dean of Mediterranean scholars. Alas, he added, “the map of the Mediterranean was infinitely malleable in the hands of the poets.” That said, Homer got one thing right: The Med is tempestuous. During our 180-mile sail across the northern border of the “Aeolian triangle,” named for the bag of wind given to Odysseus by Aeolus, Wally was kept busy changing sails. Still, behind the legend is a true history of Amalfi as an international port, a wealthy city-state based on trade fostered by the compass. For 600 years in the Middle Ages, Amalfi merchants turned the Mediterranean into a bazaar, trading Italian wheat, timber, linen, wine, fruits, and nuts with Tunisia and Egypt for oil, wax, spices, and gold. Paper charts, drawn by exploring sailors, stimulated more trade. Italy, and the whole Mediterranean, shows up on maps as early as 500 B.C. The Romans mapped their empire, in part to mark their conquests. While Columbus sailed “for gold, god and glory,” the Med was mapped for one reason: money. Amalfi’s prominence vanished with an earthquake and tsunami that destroyed the port on November 25, 1343. Portolan charts, an Italian term for detailed port maps, were in use by 1270. “The outline they gave for the Mediterranean was amazingly accurate,” writes Tony Campbell in The History of Cartography. The work of the first named practitioner, Pietro Vesconte of Genoa, who died in 1330, “was so accurate that the Mediterranean outlines would not be improved until the 18th century.” Leaving Amalfi, sailing southwest along the Sorrento Peninsula, we lacked the wardrobe and class to rub shoulders with the glitterati on the island of Capri. Instead, we created our own photo ops amid the rocks and tunnels and cliffs of Faraglioni at the island’s southern tip. Our only companions were tourist boats filled with envy. I then headed north, slowing to marvel at Homer’s ability to imagine two ordinary boulders as home to sirens, women who sang sailors to their deaths. It was here, Homer wrote, that Odysseus tied himself to the mast to resist. Wally and I covered our ears. On April 4, we arrived at the River Tiber, downstream from Rome and under the flight path to its airport. After some struggle to find a berth, I located a spot in the river itself, tied on the outside of the quay of a classy country-club marina. Its fee was 36 euros ($50) a night. I had been spending, on average, $50 a day total since leaving Tunisia, but we had now entered Italy’s more developed, and expensive, boating waters. I had $1,700 left. The next morning, as she removed sail ties while dressed in a parka, she realized that the bikini she had packed would not see the light of day. Under crisp clear skies and windshifts from east to west, we sailed to Civitavecchia behind a rugged breakwater, human-made like most marinas on the coast. The wind picked up, and it began to rain at 2 a.m. “Cold, nasty night,” my log reads. “Long, rocking day,” my log reads. “Amy was a trouper.” At 3 p.m., she steered us into Porto Ercole, a big grin on her face. Two beers and some potato soup later, we were in bed at 7:30 p.m., “wiped.” A terrible surge woke me at midnight. I got Amy up to move the boat parallel to the dock, bow in. At 4 a.m., I adjusted the spring line. At 9 a.m., it was rainy and windy—the Med’s many moods. I wasn’t feeling that hot either.  On April 17, my third mate, Dave Pfautz, joined us, and Amy took us to dinner for my birthday. David, a nurse, had introduced me to living aboard in Key West, Florida, and had helped me find Ranger. We made a nightly ritual at sunset to sail out and watch for the green flash, and toast our good fortune. I asked him to cross the Atlantic with me, but he backed out at the last minute because of a health issue. Now he felt he could join us, and I gladly accepted his presence as payback. Amy left early the next day, taxiing to a train to Rome. She left her phone, and a card, thanking me for all “the wonderful new memories.” I cried. Several times. “Sea turned to shit,” my log begins for April 19. Big, westerly waves made for a rolly ride north, and an exciting entry in breaking surf into San Vincenzo. Dave threw up again, perhaps from a bad plate of clams, and I persuaded him to go to a hospital. I ate tapas alone.  At midnight, I woke to howling winds. They weren’t forecast. The waves were crashing against the breakwater at Marina Cala de’ Medici. I risked an escape, gunning the diesel out through the breaking surf. Stuff flew around the cabin. Dave was weak. It was a lumpy, tough day. We stopped at Viareggio on a national holiday, grabbing a toehold on a crowded dock end. Set against the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany, with Pisa and Florence beckoning, the region might have lured me to stay if I had not been on deadline and burdened with an infirm crewman. With less than 100 miles to go, I was eager to catch the boat home. As a result, I also passed a chance to investigate a note in Rod Heikell’s Italian Waters Pilot. Ten miles away in Marina di Carrara, known for its white marble, sat the headquarters of the two leading electronic chart companies: C-Map and Navionics.  The fact that it happened in Italy, atop the long history that I had surveyed, was coincidental, both men said. And yet today, both companies acknowledge that Italian innovation, precision and artistic creativity would make it appear inevitable. I said goodbye to Dave, happy to be alone with Ranger. He flew home but never recovered his once-buoyant soul. Some years later, after a motorcycle accident, he died in surgery. Whenever I see a green flash, I think of our sunset cruises and the life he introduced me to. Ranger’s last Italian trip, a couple of miles to the Dockwise yacht-transport dock, was a nail-biter as waves ricocheted off concrete abutments, creating a maelstrom. Violently rocking, Ranger’s prop at times came out of the water. I’m not big on prayer, but as I mumbled, “Please, God,” I also shouted to the Racor fuel filter: “Don’t fail me now!”  I could understand why the Med had been seen as inhabited by spirits: evil, benign and inviting. We cruisers travel odysseys every time we shove off. It takes will and skills, vision and dreams to journey by boat.  Checking my Garmin GPS II, I saw that Ranger and I had traveled 15,000 miles. I had reached my goal—across an ocean and an ancient sea—and had gathered both a sail bag of stories and a great sense of accomplishment. I didn’t know at the time that this would be my last great ­sailing voyage. But at 68, I had nothing left to prove. Like Odysseus, I was going home.

Eike Schmidt, who led the grand Florence museum for seven years and stepped down in December, is prime minister’s Giorgia Meloni’s favoured candidate in local elections in the Tuscan capital slated for this weekend. He and the right-wing coalition that backs him are determined to win power in the city that has been ruled by the left for the past four decades—a result that would amount to a political earthquake. However, Schmidt unleashed a wave of criticism after including the phrase “Florence is not Torre del Greco” on a pamphlet outlining plans to make the city greener. Critics claimed the director had ridiculed inhabitants of the town near Naples that is frequently portrayed as a crime-ridden bastion of the Camorra mafia. Luigi Mennella, Torre del Greco’s left-wing mayor, responded furiously, claiming in a statement that the phrase amounted to “sleazy propaganda” that gave the town “a negative and, above all, blatantly anti-southern slant”. Dario Nardella, Florence’s outgoing mayor, said in a video posted on social media that Schmidt had offended “the history and essence of Florence: that of an open city that has always welcomed everyone”. Southern Italians have endured centuries of derision from their wealthier northern and central neighbours, with Matteo Salvini, the hard-right leader from Milan, filmed in 2009 chanting “smell that stench, here come the Neapolitans” with a chorus of supporters. Schmidt, who is campaigning with the slogan “Magnificent Florence”, has promised to bring “security and decorum” to the city’s streets. Three polls published in the penultimate week of May suggested he was trailing Sara Funaro, his left-wing rival, by between 11 and 3 percentage points. Schmidt is likely to face Funaro in a run-off if no candidate reaches the 50% mark, and has indicated that he will return to Capodimonte if he fails to pull off his Florence comeback. after suggestions for similar protection at the museum were rejected news25 June 2024Ex-Uffizi chief Eike Schmidt loses bid to become Mayor of FlorenceSara Funaro a local councillor with the centre-left Democratic Party reportedly took more than 60% of the vote news28 June 2019Plan to merge Uffizi and Accademia in Florence stokes row over Italian museums reformCritics say the move by Italy's populist coalition government will compromise the autonomy of museums 6 June 2018Pompeii IX 8 and Torre del Greco, Villa SoraAntonella Coralini (University of Bologna) The ‘Vesuviana’ programme, in cooperation with the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, focused not only on the Pompeii site, but also on the archaeological area of Villa Sora, in Torre del Greco. Working on the case study Insulae IX 8-House of the Centenary, an interdisciplinary team developed a GIS platform capable of processing all the data of a pluri-stratified site like Pompeii, including old and new excavations, from ancient material evidence to the most recent activities. A documentation revision included in the project found the first occupation of the area, with at least three housing units, to be between the late 4 th and early 3 rd cent. B.C. It also explained how and when the great domus, with a double atrium and large peristyle dating back to the Augustan Age, developed over the decades. The functions of the domus were completely altered after the earthquake, when the residential functions were replaced by more profitable, utilitarian ones. In cooperation with both the University of Naples ‘L’Orientale’ and the University of Salerno, the Vesuviana programme in Torre del Greco, Naples, promoted a project to study and enhance the seaside villa known as Villa Sora. Along with the documentation and survey activities of the archaeological evidence, the stored finds were analysed as well. Particularly important are the analysis of frescoes dating back to a transition phase between the 3 rd and 4 th painting styles, confirming that the villa was richly decorated in the decades before the eruption. This research not only allows a graphic reconstruction to be made, but also permits the restoration of the decorative elements in various rooms of the villa. beginning in his birthplace of Torre Del Greco Gino's Italy: Like Mamma Used to MakeAudio DescriptionSSubtitlesDocumentaries & Lifestyle30mIn this series chef Gino D'Acampo travels through the north and south of Italy celebrating the women who have fuelled and fed his fellow Italians through the ages The park does not only promote initiatives aimed at preserving cultural and environmental heritage but also intervention strategies that give back historical memory and the close relationship between man and nature to these places identifying sites where you can live a unique experience to combine with the classic tourist itineraries Photographic archive of the Vesuvius National Park The feasts described below are the most representative ones for their ethno-anthropological value and popularity The Four Altars festival is the most important event of Torre del Greco It takes place in June eight days after Corpus Domini and celebrates the “baronial redemption” of the Vesuvius town in 1699 The fundamental moment of the festival is the preparation of the altars who are four and stay in four squares of the city: largo del Carmine The altars represent sacred themes (“mysteries”) are made with sawdust and powder colours and form the rich set design is animated by the parade of the sacred chariot by light music shows and tammurriate and ends with the traditional fireworks at sea The Lantern festival takes place every four years at the beginning of August It comes from the cult of Madonna della Neve but it has much more ancient origins that can be traced back to the fertility rites that celebrated the end of summer It takes place in the walled village of Casamale di Somma Vesuviana whose alleys are lit by thousands of oil lamps arranged on wooden frames (domes) of different geometric shape and degrading size with a mirror that at the bottom multiplies its arrangement The entire village is then embellished with bowers of branches pumpkins that are emptied and illuminated from the inside by a lamp and tableaux vivant of country life The Lantern Festival takes place without music The only musical moment is the one that accompanies the procession of Santa Maria della Neve on the evening of the 5th August sung by a chorus of women only coming from the balconies and terraces great night bonfires are lit on the sides of the mountain and around the sanctuary there are continuous pilgrimages from neighbouring villages but the protagonists of the festival are undoubtedly the different paranze (Gnundo etc.) who spend the day preparing banquets bonfires and pay homage to Madonna Pacchiana with a rich repertoire of traditional songs and dances (fronne the preparation of the “perch” takes place a branch of chestnut decorated with flowers fruits and foods that is offered to one’s lady singing canti a ffigliola Michael Archangel is the patron saint of the city of Ottaviano and the festival held in the early days of May is dedicated to him The 8th May is the most important day of the festival;

Faraone Mennella Fiori which offers both cut flowers and plants in specially designed FM vases and pots will bow at the Fifth Avenue store in October But the jewelers are doing more than placing their name on pretty arrangements that match their design ethos the flowers that Faraone Mennella and Scognamiglio sell are exclusive to the Faraone Mennella family and bred by Renato himself specializes in creating new floral hybrids and ultimately owns the rights to each one “You can’t go more unique than this,” Roberto says made by us.” The Farmen business is actually done via seeds—not blooms—which are shipped to approved growers worldwide The Faraone Mennella Fiori bulbs at Takashimaya pulling up images of custom-bred pansies on an old Compaq laptop “It’s almost like the Yves Saint Laurent ruffles.” Indeed looks as if it’s been shot up with steroids Another pansy resembles a full-skirted costume cast off from a Baz Luhrmann film adding that Fiori’s debut collection consists only of pansies “Renato manipulates even the shape of the leaves and the little streaks in them.” It’s not all about aesthetics The Farmen team also isolates the genes that make one plant hardier than another ensuring that all of its designs are as sturdy and stalwart as possible this translates to desktop bouquets that won’t wilt a week after arrival The jewelers note that Farmen registers each new floral breed with the Holland-based Fleuroselect the international organization for the ornamental plants industry that body has recorded nearly 100 original Farmen species including 200 color varieties of the pansy “Nobody can just get the seeds,” remarks Scognamiglio This industry gets more protection [than fashion] It can take 15 years to fix a gene,” Scognamiglio continues “It’s not like knocking off jewelry in your home,” Faraone Mennella chimes in you still need the father and the mother to cross them You have to make sure it’s not just a fluke.” He adds that his father works closely with a local university Università di Napoli—the Farmen fields are filled with doctoral students—while his sister is an agronomist in Torre del Greco Faraone Mennella and Scognamiglio say that they soon plan to expand Fiori globally using the same distributors Farmen employs to send its seeds worldwide (Renato has plantations every­where—from Thailand to Easter Island.) But blooms are only a small part of the bigger picture Faraone Mennella Fiori will also debut candles—based on those same flowers natch—at big-name retailers like Neiman Marcus home fragrances and potpourri is also in the pipeline “The idea is to bring this incredible hidden treasure of an industry to the surface,” says Scognamiglio “To focus on the art that is behind designing the flowers.” it’s also a homecoming for the two friends who grew up mere blocks away from each other in Torre del Greco “I’m sure he wanted me to go into this instead of jewelry.” Scognamiglio shares a childhood memory about Faraone Mennella Sr. aka the “crazy scientist.” “I’d go to Roberto’s for lunch,” he recalls “[Renato] would be making a spaghetti and refer to the sauce as F1 But F1 was the purest gene
