			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border="0" alt="" /> At about 3 and a half miles north of Carloforte lies the promontory of Punta, in the extreme north of the Island of San Pietro. On the east coast in the area of Tacca Rossa the seabed is rocky and low alternating the presence of poseidonia and white sand. A little further north there are the remains of 2 ancient factories for tuna fishing, and one is still operational. Less than a mile east there is the Piana Island which houses a beautiful holiday resort built on the ruins of an ancient factory for tuna fishing dated back to 1698. Nearby there is the Island of Ratti rich in vegetation and reefs. The beauty of the Baia Lunga dotted with small rocks and sharp rocks is very striking, and it is also peculiar the deep seabed. Soon after this area starts a very particular stretch of coastline, Tacche Bianche where the white rocks alternates with parts of  reddish brown lava.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border="0" alt="" /> A circa 3 miglia e mezzo a nord di Carloforte si trova il promontorio della Punta all&#8217;estremità a nord dell&#8217;Isola di San Pietro. La costa orientale nella zona di Tacca Rossa il fondale è roccioso e basso alternato dalla presenza di poseidonia e sabbia bianchissima. Poco più a nord sono ancora visibili i resti di 2 tonnare di cui una ancora operativa. Meno di un miglio ad est si trova l&#8217;Isola Piana che ospita un bellissimo villaggio turistico sorto sui ruderi di un&#8217;antica tonnara che risaliva al 1698. Lì vicino si trova l&#8217;isolotto dei Ratti ricco di vegetazione e scogli affioranti. Colpisce la bellezza della Baia Lunga disseminata di piccoli scogli e rocce acuminate che tuttavia possiede un fondale discretamente profondo. Subito dopo inizia un tratto di costa molto particolare, Tacche Bianche in cui le rocce bianche si alternano a tratti di lava bruna e rossastra.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Calabria: l'insenatura di Santa Irene, nei pressi di Tropea]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border="0" alt="" /> In Santa Irene bay, near Tropea in Calabria, there is the Murenario which is a white flat rock, an ancient Roman fishpond. It is an old fishing system still used by  local fishermen. Within the rock there are tanks connected by channels where fish were driven with the help of nets. Same few feet away there are remainings of tanks where the fish was left to be salted and dried.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Nell&#8217;insenatura di Santa Irene, nei pressi di Tropea in Calabria si trova il Murenario uno scoglio piatto di roccia bianca, un&#8217;antica peschiera romana. Si tratta di un sistema di pesca antico che  viene usato dai pescatori locali ancora oggi. All&#8217;interno dello scoglio ci sono delle vasche collegate da canali in cui venivano spinti i pesci con l&#8217;aiuto di reti. Poco più in là ci sono ancora dei resti di vasche in cui veniva lasciato il pescato per essere salato ed essiccato.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border="0" alt="" /> In the lovely bay of Conca dei Marini there is the Emerald Cave also called the Gem of the Coast. It was once above the sea level and the peculiar color of the water is due to impressive games of light. In the cave there are thin stalactites and are present formations of stalagmites as well, which give the idea of being inside an ancient temple. Absolutely not to be missed is the submerged Nativity in Vietri ceramics that every Christmas is visited by many divers from all over Italy.</p>
<p> <img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Nell&#8217;incantevole baia di Conca dei Marini si trova la Grotta dello Smeraldo definita anche la Gemma della Costiera. Un tempo era al disopra del livello del mare e la particolare colorazione dell&#8217;acqua è dovuta a suggestivi giochi di luce. Sono presenti sottili stalattiti e formazioni di stalagmiti che danno l&#8217;idea di trovarsi in un tempio antico. Assolutamente da non perdere è il sommerso Presepe in Ceramica di Vietri che ogni Natale viene visitato da numerosi subacquei provenienti da tutta Italia.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Calabria: il Fiordo di Furore]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border="0" alt="" /> The Fjord of Furore in Calabria is a marvel created by the expert hand of nature. A peculiar gorge in the mountain that continues its fall down below sea level. The contrast between the colour of the rock and the deep blue of the sea is wonderfully suggestive. The actress Anna Magnani fell in love with the Fjord and bought a house there called ”La Villa della Storta”, just after the shooting of the film “Amore”; a  Federico Fellini creation. The Village of the Fjord is formed by the fishermen&#8217;s houses clinging to one  another and embedded in the rock. In the past locals carried out activities such as the milling of wheat and the paper mill which have now turned out to become interesting museums.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_it.gif" border="0" alt="" /> Il Fiordo di Furore in Calabria rappresenta una meraviglia creata dalla mano esperta della natura. Una gola della montagna che continua a scendere a strapiombo anche sotto il livello del mare. Il contrasto di colore tra la roccia della montagna e il blu profondo del mare ne fanno uno spettacolo suggestivo. Meta scelta anche dall&#8217;attrice Anna Magnani che vi acquistò una casa chiamata la “Villa della Storta” dopo le riprese del film “Amore” di Federico Fellini. Il Borgo del Fiordo è formato da case di pescatori aggrappate una all&#8217;altra incastonate nella roccia. Nel passato vi si svolgevano attività come la macina del grano la cui testimonianza è l&#8217;esistente Mulino e la cartiera divenuti ormai musei.</p>

		<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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0><br />
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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.case-homes.com/images/flag_en.gif" border=0><br />
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>

		<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>
