			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0> <a href="http://www.italiantourism.com/videoregioniindice.html" target="_blank">Liguria</a> is a region overlooking the sea, almost surrounded by mountains and with a luxurious vegetation.

Portovenere is a charming village made of coloured houses one clinging to the other overlooking the beautiful sea. Dominated by the sixteenth-century Castle and the Church of Saint Peter. Nearby,  La Spezia with its lovely gardens along the sea promenade. Portofino,  Portus Delfini mentioned by Plinio, a millenary village that today has become a destination chose by the international jet sets.  Some elegant beach resorts, in Rapallo, for instance, or Santa Margherita, Camogli  and Alassio, just to mention a few. Cinque Terre with its uncontaminated nature, formed by 5 ancient villages embedded in the cliff above the sea. Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia with amazing scenaries and routs such as the Via dell&#8217;Amore to be explored only by walk,  from Manarola to Riomaggiore.  San Remo, where the famous Music Festival is held and its  floriculture. Ventimiglia located between Liguria and French Provence. Savona with the imposing Priamar Fortess where Giuseppe Mazzini was confined. Imperia and finally Genova, the capital of Liguria which boasts elegant palaces and nobiliar villas.

<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0> La <a href="http://www.italiantourism.com/videoregioniindice.html" target="_blank">Liguria</a> è una regione che si affaccia sul mare da un lato e dall&#8217;altro è circondata da montagne con una vegetazione lussureggiante. Le sue origini sono molto antiche, conserva resti paleolitici come le Grotte di Toirano, situate sulla riviera di ponente. In tempi recenti è stata dimora di vari poeti come Byron o Shelley, che per l&#8217;appunto è morto nel Golfo della Spezia, motivo per il quale il golfo è conosciuto anche come Il Golfo Dei Poeti. Portovenere è un delizioso paese costituito da case colorate l&#8217;una attaccata all&#8217;altra di fronte al mare con affianco il Castello e la Chiesa di San Pietro. Poco distante si trova La Spezia con i sontuosi e ben curati giardini lungo la passeggiata a mare. Portofino, Portus Delfini così definito da Plinio, è un paese millenario che oggi è diventato meta ambita dal jet-set internazionale. Alcuni tra i più eleganti stabilimenti balneari si trovano a Rapallo, a Santa Margherita, Camogli ed Alassio per citarne alcuni. Altra meraviglia sono le 5 Terre che consistono in 5 piccoli villaggi lungo la costa immersi in una natura incontaminata incastonati nelle rocce. Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia offrono scenari mozzafiato come il sentiero detto La Via Dell&#8217;Amore che va da Manarola a Riomaggiore. San Remo, altra città nota per il Festival Della Musica e la floricoltura. Ventimiglia, posta tra Liguria e la Provenza francese. Savona con la sua imponente Fortezza Priamar in cui fu confinato Giuseppe Mazzini. Imperia ed infine Genova, il capoluogo, che vanta eleganti palazzi nobiliari e ville favolose. Definita da Petrarca “La Signora del Mare”. La  natura geografica della regione sita fra le montagne e il mare si sente anche nella cucina con i suoi sapori genuini e particolari come il pesto usato per condire le trenette, l&#8217;olio, le acciughe, i dolci tipici e il vino.</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 Friuli Venezia Giulia you can still find places where you can ski far away from the crowds and commotion.<br />
In the eastern Dolomites, the Carnic Alps and the Julian Alps, from Piancavallo passing through Carnia and as far as Tarvisio, in Friuli Venezia Giulia there are lots of downhill slopes for those who love the thrill of speed, and as many easier slopes, if you prefer skiing at a more relaxing pace in the middle of the countryside.<br />
But the excitement doesn’t finish here&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
Dolomiti Orientali, Alpi Carniche e Alpi Giulie. Da Piancavallo passando per la Carnia fino al Tarvisiano: in Friuli Venezia Giulia è ancora possibile sciare lontano dalla folla e dal frastuono. Numerose le piste da discesa per chi ama il brivido della velocità, così come le piste da fondo per chi ama immergersi completamente nella natura.<br />
Ma le emozioni non finiscono qui&#8230;</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>

Wherever you may find yourself in the Marche, the Apennine mountains are never very far away. They form the region&#8217;s western border and offer some of its finest scenery as well as providing a home for some of Italy&#8217;s most fascinating wildlife. Large areas have now been designated natural parks.<br />
The Natural Park of Monti Sibillini, in the southwest corner, is the region&#8217;s largest park, spreading over 40 km of mountain peaks and continuing westwards into Umbria. The mountains take their name from a legend that one of the sibyls hid here in a cave on Monte Sibilla known as Grotta delle Fate (Cave of the Fairies) when she was chased out of the underworld.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0><br />
Ovunque ti trovi, nelle Marche, gli Appennini non sono mai molto lontani. Formano il confine occidentale della regione e offrono, oltre ad alcuni tra i più incantevoli, anche ospitalità ad una numerosa e affascinante fauna.<br />
Gran parte del territorio è stato da tempo vincolato da parchi nazionali.<br />
Il Parco Nazionale dei Monti Sibillini, nell&#8217;angolo sud-ovest della regione, è il più grande delle Marche, estendendosi per oltre 40 km di picchi e continuando verso ovest fino all&#8217;Umbria. I monti prendono nome da una leggenda secondo la quale all&#8217;interno di una caverna, nota con il nome di Grotta delle Fate, trovava rifugio la Sibilla dopo la sua fuga dal mondo sotterraneo.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[I Sacri Monti in Piemonte e Lombardia]]></description>
			<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Terme di Rabbi (Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio, TN)]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0> The Rabbi water was called &#8220;natural elixir&#8221; due to the force of the gas contained within; the high concentration of carbon dioxide allows the water to support numerous natural elements, all of which possess beneficial effects: the water can help cure the digestive tract, the varicose veins, the cellulite and, thanks to the ferruginous component, can help the treatment of anemia and lymphatism. The presence of bicarbonate allows for the useful treatments of cronic pharygitis, laryngitis, sinusitism and bronchitis.<br />
In the wellness Centre there is a modern regenerative bath, as well as an area dedicated to the Kneipp therapy and mud pack therapy.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border=0> La Fonte termale di Rabbi, nel Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio (Trento), è nota fin dall’antichità per i suoi effetti terapeutici nella cura di malattie reumatiche, della circolazione, dell’apparato digestivo, di anemie e linfatismi e delle patologie respiratorie. Questo grazie alla concentrazione di alcuni elementi, quali l&#8217;anidride carbonica, la componente ferruginosa, il bicarbonato.<br />
Il centro termale offre assistenza medica continua ed è convenzionato con il Servizio Sanitario Nazionale.<br />
Numerosi i trattamenti di cui è possibile usufruire: la cura idroponica, i bagni termali, i percorsi flebologici, la vasca rigenerante, i massaggi e gli impacchi naturali, le cure inalatorie e le cure di prevenzione della cellulite.</p>
