		<description><![CDATA[Amalfi: arte, storia, natura e tradizioni]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border="0" alt="" /> As soon as the visitor gets to Amalfi is perfectly aware of the important role that the sea has played in the history of the city, and that still persists. This is demonstrated by the fact that its port is in correspondence of the city center. From the port, through small streets you can reach the heart of Amalfi where the Duomo is located. It was dedicated to Saint Andrew and its foundations dated back the tenth century. There is a large and impressive stair that leads to the structure which faces the Saint Andrew Square. Over the centuries the Duomo suffered so many rearrangements that the internal decorations date back to the eighteenth century, while the sumptuous bronze doors are genuine. From the Duomo you can access to the Basilica of the Holy Crucifix which was built in the sixth century on an early Christian temple. Today the remains of the temple have been brought to light infact you can admire the columns that in the past supported the central nave. From here you can reach the Saint Andrew&#8217;s Crypt which contains his remains arrived from Patrasso during the 4th Crusade. Continuing the path there is the Cloister of Paradise, an enchanting arabian construction of the thirteenth century. Finally, it is worth visiting the ancient arsenal of the Republic of Amalfi which is the only surviving example of medieval shipyard. The Museum is located in the Flavio Gioia Square along the sea promenade of Amalfi from where can be seen distinctly the Tower of San Francesco built in order to defend the city from the pirate raids.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Quando si arriva ad Amalfi si percepisce da subito l&#8217;importanza che il mare ha avuto nella storia di questa città e che ancora persiste. Lo dimostra il fatto che il suo porto è in corrispondenza del centro città. Dal porto, imboccando vicoli e viuzze si giunge al cuore di Amalfi dove si trova il Duomo, dedicato a Sant&#8217;Andrea le cui fondamenta risalgono al decimo secolo. Una grande e suggestiva scalinata porta all&#8217;edificio che dà sull&#8217;omonima piazza. Nel corso dei secoli ha subito interventi più volte tanto che le decorazioni interne risalgono al settecento, mentre le sontuose porte di bronzo sono originali. Dal Duomo si accede alla Basilica del Santissimo Crocifisso edificata nel sesto secolo su di un tempio paleocristiano. Oggi sono stati riportati alla luce i resti dell&#8217;antico tempio e si possono ammirare le colonne che sostenevano la navata centrale. Proprio da qui si accede alla Cripta di Sant&#8217;Andrea le cui spoglie giunsero qui da Patrasso durante la quarta crociata. Continuando il percorso si incontra il Chiostro del Paradiso, una splendida costruzione arabeggiante risalente al XIII secolo. Per finire merita una visita l&#8217;antico Arsenale della Repubblica di Amalfi che rappresenta l&#8217;unico esempio esistente di cantiere nautico medievale proprio in Piazza Flavio Gioia sul lungo mare di Amalfi da dove si scorge distintamente la Torre di San Francesco costruita per difendere la città dalle incursioni dei pirati.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Benvenuti nel Lazio]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0><br />
 Once known as Latium, Lazio is known by tourists as the region of Rome, but there is much, much more to Lazio than just Rome! Mountains, beaches, Renaissance papal villas, wineries, Etruscan ruins, health spas e secluded Franciscan hermitages, this Region has everything you&#8217;ve been looking for. Start with a day in the Castelli Romani, right on Rome&#8217;s doorstep &#8211; you can absorb 2000 years of history without staying in the city. Just south of there, on the way to Naples, is the world-class spa town of Fiuggi, surrounded by a host of picturesque hill towns like the one featured in the movie For Rosanne. Or head east to Rieti, where you can visit the tiny monasteries St. Francis built, birthplace of the nativity scene and the Christmas tree. You can even sleep at a couple of them, if you like, or try some skiing in the beautiful mountains that loom overhead.<br />
North of the city, within an hour&#8217;s easy drive from Fiumicino Airport (also called Leonardo da Vinci), is the former homeland of the mysterious Etruscans, with their delightfully painted underground tombs, and their stone tumuli, usually located in idyllic forests or deserted valleys. No matter whether you go north or south along the Latium coast, you will find wonderful sandy beaches and rocky coves for all tastes, delightful resort towns like Capalbio and San Felice Circeo, Grecian fishing villages like Sperlonga, or ancient strongholds like Gaeta. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
Anticamente conosciuta come &#8220;Latium&#8221;, la regione Lazio è conosciuta dai turisti solo per la città di Roma, ma c&#8217;è molto, molto di più di questo!<br />
Monti, spiagge, palazzi papali rinascimentali, enoteche, rovine estrusche, terme e solitari eremi francescani. Questa regione racchiude tutto quello che si può desiderare di visitare. Si può iniziare con una giornata ai Castelli Romani, proprio alle porte di Roma, per assorbire 2000 anni di storia anche fuori dalla città. Poco più a sud, sulla strada per Napoli, si trovano le rinomate Terme di Fiuggi, circondate da pittoreschi villaggi collinari, come quello ripreso nel film &#8220;For Rosanne&#8221;. Verso est si trova Rieti, con i piccoli monasteri francescani, luoghi in cui prese origine la scena della natività cristiana e l&#8217;albero di natale. Molti di essi offrono ospitalità ai turisti di passaggio. Oppure si può raggiungere le montagne che sovrastano il paesaggio e trascorrere un po&#8217; di tempo sulle piste da sci.<br />
A nord di Roma, a circa un&#8217;ora di distanza dall&#8217;Aeroporto di Fiumicino (chiamato anche Leonardo da Vinci), c&#8217;è l&#8217;antica patria dei misteriosi etruschi, dove si possono visitare le tombe sotterranee meravigliosamente decorate e le pietre tumulo, di solito posizionate all&#8217;interno di idilliache foreste o in valli desertiche.<br />
Non importa se si va a sud o a nord invece, lungo le coste laziali: ovunque si trovano fantastiche spiagge e insenature rocciose per tutti i gusti, deliziosi centri come Capalbio e San Felice Circeo, villaggi di pescatori come Sperlonga o antiche roccaforti come Gaeta.</p>

In Umbria you learn to know the meaning of beauty. Umbria is the heart of Italy, but not simply for its geographical position. The region’s wealth of natural and artistic wonders seems almost inexhaustible. Travelling the roads of Umbria is a journey full of surprises, continuously suspended between the signs of a well-preserved past and a vocation for the future that is entirely new, bringing to light a region that is live and exquisitely beautiful. Umbria today, reinventing itself fashionable but without overdoing it, has much to offer visitors: sport, culture, museums, epicurean delights, healing waters, and musical events of international renown.<br />
At the end of the journey, one thing is certain: Umbria has a true vocation for beauty. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
In Umbria si impara il vero significato di &#8220;bellezza&#8221;. Umbria è il cuore dell&#8217;Italia, non solo semplicemente per la sua posizione geografica. Il numero di capolavori naturali ed artistici della Regione sembrano semplicemente inesauribili. Il viaggio lungo le vie dell&#8217;Umbria è denso di sorprese, continuamente sospesa tra i segni di un passato ben preservato e la vocazione al futuro da poco acquisita, portando alla luce una Regione che è viva e meravigliosamente bella. L&#8217;Umbria di oggi, che si reinventa affascinante ma discreta, ha molto da offrire ai visitatori: sport, cultura, musei, delizie epicuree, acque termali ed eventi musicali di risonanza internazionale.<br />
Alla fine del viaggio, una cosa è certa: l&#8217;Umbria ha una vera vocazione per il bello.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Il Piccolo Museo San Paolo]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0><br />
The “Piccolo Museo San Paolo” was created in the 1970s by Monsignor Francesco Gangemi, parist priest of the parish of San Paolo della Rotonda. A cultured priest, collector of fine art, author of publications, theatre texts and scholar in ancient Greek and Latin.<br />
Transformed into a foundation with official recognition in 1984, his collection today is housed in buildings opposite the church of San Paolo and is waiting for a permanent home.The works exhibited, which represent great historical and artistic importance, have been gathered together over sixty years by Francesco Gangemi himself, with great love for art and extraordinary tenacity in his search.  The collection, increased over the years thanks to donated works, is extremely diverse both for the artists, not only Calabrian and Southern Italian, but also for the styles exhibited in which you can find: Icons, Silver, Sculpture, Ivory and Paintings. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
Il Piccolo Museo San Paolo nasce negli anni ’70 per volontà di Monsignor Francesco Gangemi, parroco della Parrocchia di San Paolo della Rotonda, sacerdote colto, fine collezionista di opere d’arte, autore di pubblicazioni, testi teatrali, fine conoscitore del greco antico e del latino. Trasformatosi in Fondazione con riconoscimento giuridico ufficiale nel 1984, la sua collezione oggi è ospitata nei locali adiacenti alla chiesa di San Paolo e attende di essere collocata in una sede definitiva. Le opere esposte, di gran pregio storico e artistico, sono state raccolte in un arco di tempo di oltre sessant’anni dallo stesso Francesco Gangemi, con grande amore per l&#8217;arte e tenacia straordinaria nella ricerca. La collezione, incrementata negli anni da donazioni acquisti, risulta del resto estremamente eterogenea sia per gli artisti, non solo calabresi e meridionali, sia per la natura stessa dei generi esposti, si possono infatti individuare: Icone, Argenti, Sculture, Avori e Dipinti.</p>

We would like to introduce you to the charm of the &#8220;Veneto: from the earth to the sky&#8221; and the excellence of this territory, the most welcoming region in Italy and the first in terms of tourism.<br />
Art cities, sea, mountains, parks, lakes and spas may be enough for a dream vacation &#8230; but this region also has other surprises to be discovered.<br />
For example, there are five places in the Veneto region that have won prestigious acknowledgement from UNESCO and are included in the list of the World Heritage Sites. These include Venice and its lagoon, Verona, the Botanical Gardens of Padua, Vicenza, the Palladian Villas of the Veneto and the Dolomites. The Dolomites were the last to receive acknowledgement on June 26th 2009.<br />
There are other &#8220;gems of beauty&#8221; to be found in this region such as our fairy-tale like scenery, rolling hills, history and tradition, churches, fortified villages, frescoed palaces, villas, piazzas and arcades, and a countless number of pieces of art that are waiting for you to discover them.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
Ecco a voi il fascino del &#8220;Veneto. Tra la terra e il cielo&#8221;, le eccellenze di questo territorio, la regione più accogliente d&#8217;Italia, prima assoluta in termini di presenze turistiche. Città d&#8217;arte, mare, montagna, parchi, laghi e terme potrebbero bastare per una vacanza da sogno&#8230; E invece il Veneto riserva tante altre sorprese.<br />
Pochi sanno, per esempio, che sono cinque i luoghi del Veneto insigniti del prestigioso riconoscimento UNESCO e iscritti nella lista dei siti Patrimonio dell&#8217;Umanità: Venezia e la sua laguna, Verona, l&#8217;Orto Botanico di Padova, Vicenza e le ville palladiane del Veneto e per ultime le Dolomiti (il 26 giugno 2009).<br />
In questo territorio si incontrano altre piccole e grandi &#8220;perle di bellezza&#8221;: paesaggi da sogno, dolci colline, atmosfere pregne di storia e tradizione, chiesette solitarie, borghi fortificati, palazzi affrescati, ville signorili, piazze e portici e un&#8217;infinità di opere d&#8217;arte che aspettano solo di essere scoperte.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0> The  Valdostane castles confirm a particularly wealthy feudal history that offers a steady flow of picturesque history: medieval buildings were often built and raised on previous highland fortresses from Roman times; military bulwarks and noble residences, points of control along the compulsory passes (Bard Fortress and Fénis Castle are renowned), perimeters and facades with different styles, the weaponry of the visitable interiors, as well as the cultural interests, to impress you in a magical atmosphere, almost like &#8220;doors back in time&#8221; or&#8230; dimensional passages into your imagination. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0> I  castelli valdostani sono testimonianze di una storia feudale particolarmente ricca e di una continuità storica suggestiva: spesso le costruzioni medioevali si sono appoggiate ed innalzate su precedenti alture fortificate d’epoca romana; baluardi militari e dimore di signori, punti di controllo lungo passaggi obbligati (sono celebri il Forte di Bard e il castello di Fénis), perimetri e facciate di stili diversi, armature di interni visitabili, oltre che per interesse culturale, per lasciarsi permeare da atmosfere magiche, quasi &#8220;porte nel tempo&#8221; o&#8230; varchi dimensionali per l’immaginazione.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0> <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1068" target="_blank">UNESCO</a> registered in 2003, on the list of World Heritage Sites, the &#8220;Cultural Landscape of the Sacred Mountains of Piemonte and Lombardy&#8221; with this motivation: &#8220;The nine <a href="http://www.sacrimonti.net/User/index.php?PAGE=Sito_en/sacri_monti_del_piemonte_e_della_lombardia" target="_blank">Sacri Monti</a> (Sacred Mountains) of northern Italy are groups of chapels and other architectural features created in the late 16th and 17th centuries and dedicated to different aspects of the Christian faith. In addition to their symbolic spiritual meaning, they are of great beauty by virtue of the skill with which they have been integrated into the surrounding natural landscape of hills, forests and lakes. They also house much important artistic material in the form of wall paintings and statuary.&#8221;.<br />
The seven Sacred Mounts of Piemonte (Belmonte, Crea, Domodossola, Ghiffa, Oropa, Orta and Varallo) and the two of Lombardia (Ossuccio and Varese), show an extraordinary value of history, of art and of nature.<br />
The series of chapels, which, with statues, paintings and frescos tell episodes and mysteries of sacred life, merge with the welcoming environmental surroundings, and contribute to define the features of each monumental complex. Valuable examples of landscape architecture, the Sacred Mounts are important meeting places for the faithful and for lovers of art.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0> Nel 2003 l&#8217;<a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1068" target="_blank">UNESCO</a> ha iscritto il sito &#8220;Sacri Monti del Piemonte e della Lombardia&#8221; nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale, con questa motivazione: &#8220;I nove <a href="http://www.sacrimonti.net/User/index.php?PAGE=Sito_it/sacri_monti_del_piemonte_e_della_lombardia" target="_blank">Sacri Monti</a> dell’Italia settentrionale sono gruppi di cappelle e altri manufatti architettonici eretti fra il XVI e il XVII secolo, dedicati a differenti aspetti della fede cristiana. In aggiunta al loro significato simbolico e spirituale, possiedono notevoli doti di bellezza, virtù e gradevolezza, e risultano integrati in un ambiente naturale e paesaggistico di colline, boschi e laghi. Contengono inoltre reperti artistici molto importanti (affreschi e statue).&#8221;<br />
Il prestigioso riconoscimento attribuisce un valore universale a sette Sacri Monti del Piemonte (Belmonte, Crea, Domodossola, Ghiffa, Oropa, Orta e Varallo) e due della Lombardia (Ossuccio e Varese).<br />
La teoria di cappelle che attraverso statue, dipinti e affreschi, racconta episodi e misteri della vita sacra, si amalgama con l’accogliente contesto ambientale e contribuisce a definire i lineamenti di ciascun complesso monumentale. Pregevoli esempi di architettura del paesaggio, i Sacri Monti costituiscono un importante punto d’incontro per i fedeli e i cultori dell’arte.</p>
