The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Rapina e lesioni personali. Sono questi i reati che hanno condotto i carabinieri di Bassano del Grappa ad arrestare un 34enne residente in città. L'uomo, cittadino colombiano, nella serata di mercoledì 16 aprile aveva aggredito una 21enne, sottraendole il cellulare e provocandole lievi lesioni, venendo arrestato poco dopo in flagranza dai militari.
Sarà vero? Sarà falso? Pare che la grappa faccia digerire anche le cose più pesanti, come i dazi o una giornata faticosa. Al Vinitaly abbiamo incontrato Antonella Nonino, consigliera delegata della Nonino Distillatori, grappaiola di quinta generazione, che insieme alle sorelle e alla nipote porta avanti la sua azienda sotto lo sguardo attento della madre.
HERE you can support Andata e Ritorno - Storie di Montagna.We tell the story of Edoardo Pontiggia's journey to retrace his great-grandfather Angelo's experiences as an Italian soldier during World War I on Monte Grappa. Angelo Pontiggia fought in the war, including the Battle of Solstice in June 1918 where he earned a medal for valor. The texts detail the harsh conditions, intense fighting, and heavy losses suffered by soldiers on Grappa. Despite surviving the war, Angelo contracted tuberculosis and died shortly after. The text was written by Sebastiano Frollo, founder and author of an Italian podcast that explores stories and memories of the mountains. The translation and narration were generated by artificial intelligence; they were later processed and modified to ensure the best possible listening experience. We believe that using this technology makes it possible to share certain types of stories, memories, characters, and underexplored regions with an international audience. We want to give something back to the mountains, and to do so, we've chosen audio as our medium. You also have the opportunity to support and review this project; all the details can be found in the episode description.

#ItalianSecrets #ElkeHeselmeyer #DNEWS24 #Grappa #Nonino Die Kunst der Destillation lässt sich bis ins 1. Jahrhundert n. Chr. zurückverfolgen, wobei frühe alchemistische Praktiken im Nahen Osten des 8. Jahrhunderts eine bedeutende Rolle spielten. Diese Techniken gelangten im Laufe der Zeit nach Europa. Grappa entstand als Nebenprodukt der Weinherstellung, indem die übrig gebliebenen Traubenschalen, -kerne und -stiele (Trester) destilliert wurden. Ursprünglich wurde Grappa in ländlichen Gebieten Norditaliens hergestellt und diente vor allem der ärmeren Bevölkerung als kräftiger, unraffinierter Schnaps, um Hunger, Kälte und Angst zu lindern.

Incidente "in pausa pranzo" nel primissimo pomeriggio di oggi a Nove, con una Citroen e una Nissan a collidere frontalmente in via Molini. Uno scontro violento che ha determinato trami e contusioni da valutare per le rispettive conducenti dei veicoli coinvolti, vale a dire a una 60enne novese e una 57enne residente a Bassano del Grappa.
Alice Laverda"24 volte la verità"Raphaël Meltzwww.prehistoricaeditore.itC'è Gabriel, un cineoperatore che ha percorso tutto il Novecento con l'occhio incollato dietro la sua macchina da presa: dal funerale di Sarah Bernhardt all'11 settembre 2001 passando per la Pace di Parigi, nel 1919, sarà stato il testimone muto di un mondo caotico e vertiginoso. C'è Adrien, suo nipote, un giornalista specializzato in quelle cose digitali che ormai invadono le nostre vite. E c'è il romanzo che Adien ha deciso di scrivere attorno alla figura del nonno.In ventiquattro capitoli, raccontare una vita. Ventiquattro capitoli come le ventiquattro immagini che costituiscono ogni secondo di un film. Ventiquattro capitoli per tentare di cogliere la verità.Cosa resta di chi non è più tra noi? Cosa si può dire di conoscere di ciò che si è visto ma non vissuto? Cosa fare, al giorno d'oggi, di tutte queste immagini?Raphaël Meltz (1975) è uno scrittore raro, estremamente eclettico. È autore di svariati racconti, saggi e romanzi; per un fumetto, è stato recentemente premiato al Festival 'Angoulême. Ha cofondato e codiretto la rivista “R deréel” e il magazine “Le Tigre”. Dal 2013 al 2017 ha prestato servizio come addetto culturale presso l'Ambasciata di Francia in Messico. Significative le parole di Frédéric Martin, il suo editore francese (Le Tripode): “Meltz è un Don Chisciotte, una persona dal bagaglio intellettuale molto vasto, che ora potrebbe trovarsi negli uffici ministeriali o seduto a una cattedra universitaria, ma che ha scelto una forma di resistenza.”Alice Laverda è nata a Bassano del Grappa nel 1989. Si è laureata in Traduzione Letteraria all'Universitè Aix-Marseille, in Linguistica e Traduzione all'Università di Pisa.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
Gianni Oliva"Il pendio dei noci"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.it1918. Il sergente Julien Vertou osserva la neve che ancora ricopre il monte Grappa, in un aprile senza primavera. Lì dove si è spostata l'ultima linea di difesa italiana dopo Caporetto, gli alpini del battaglione Susa hanno allestito il loro campo. Ma Julien non è uno di loro, la cicatrice sulla mano destra racconta un'altra storia. Negli ultimi sedici anni, la Legione Straniera è stata il suo rifugio e la sua penitenza. Ciò che è stato prima non ha più importanza. Sono perduti i sogni, ed è perduto l'amore, che per una breve stagione gli ha fatto credere di poter inventare il futuro. La guerra che ha conosciuto sull'Atlante aveva una sola regola: uccidere per non farsi uccidere. Ma i ragazzi con cui ora condivide la trincea questa certezza non ce l'hanno, molti sanno a malapena imbracciare un fucile. Vengono da montagne in cui sperano di tornare presto, magari da una fidanzata che li aspetta. Come Gildo e Valdo, che insieme non fanno trentasei anni, o Domenico, che ne ha ventidue e da tre combatte e sopravvive. Tra i colpi di artiglieria, i loro sguardi impauriti iniziano a scalfire la corazza di Julien. Lui non ha nessuno che lo attende, nessun posto che può chiamare casa. Eppure, per quanto si ostini a rinnegarlo, il passato che si è lasciato alle spalle pian piano si riprende la scena. Una parlata familiare, il nome di un torrente, quello di un paese di montanari. E il volto di una donna che riaffiora tra i pensieri, riportandolo a un tempo in cui la felicità era ancora possibile. In questo esordio narrativo, Gianni Oliva innesta nel racconto degli ultimi, concitati mesi del primo conflitto mondiale una vicenda privata dolorosamente intensa. Un romanzo di amore e guerra, di montagne e neve, di uomini piccoli e grandi rimescolati dalla Storia.Gianni Oliva, docente di Storia delle istituzioni militari, ha dedicato molti studi al periodo 1940-45. Da Mondadori ha pubblicato, tra gli altri, I vinti e i liberati, Foibe, «Si ammazza troppo poco», Soldati e ufficiali, Il tesoro dei vinti, Gli ultimi giorni della Monarchia, La guerra fascista, La bella morte, Il purgatorio dei vinti.

Non avevamo già parlato della zona del Monte Grappa e del suo territorio circostante e neppure dei Carabinieri che vi combatterono per la Liberazione del nostro Paese Oggi parliamo di un ufficiale; non solo di lui. Ma di quegli ufficiali che non hanno età e sono veri comandanti. Parliamo del tenente Luigi Giarnieri e dei suoi uomini… una storia a tratti triste ma diremmo anche bella per i valori che porta … sta a voi ascoltarla … ma andiamo per gradi … Il tenente GIARNIERI Luigi era nato a Napoli il 3 gennaio 1920 e, dopo aver frequentato il Collegio Militare di Napoli (la famosa Nunziatella) dall'anno 1935 al 1937 entra nella Regia Accademia di Fanteria e Cavalleria di Modena conseguendo, nel 1940, la nomina a sottotenente dei Carabinieri. Promosso tenente nel 1942, aveva già comandato una tenenza e poi una sezione di polizia militare mobilitata che aveva preso parte alla Campagna di Russia con la Divisione Pasubio. Al rientro in Italia, Giarnieri fu destinato inizialmente a Firenze e da lì a Tarvisio. Da questa località nel 1943 raggiunse il ministero della difesa nazionale della RSI ove prese servizio per garantire la vigilanza all'infrastruttura. Passato al movimento resistenziale poco prima della seconda grande cattura dei Carabinieri nella RSI (4 agosto 1944) combatté contro le formazioni nazi-fasciste che presero in una morsa tutto il Grappa. Catturato fu torturato e quindi impiccato ad un gancio. Medaglia d'argento al valor militare alla memoria. Partigiano combattente! Con lui altri Carabinieri Partigiani combatterono e caddero. Altri poi ne vennero tanto da dar vita al battaglione Luigi Giarnieri, in memoria del giovane ufficiale vittima della barbarie nazifascista Vi auguriamo buon ascolto di questo episodio che rappresenta una bella storia, seppure triste, ma è una storia di libertà e queste storie ci piacciono tanto ascoltare ma soprattutto raccontare. Alla prossima!

Tina Anselmi nasce a Castelfranco Veneto il 25 marzo del 1927.Suo papà è farmacista, sua mamma ostessa. Studia all'Istituto Magistrale di Bassano del Grappa e frequenta l'Azione Cattolica. Il 26 settembre del 1944 i fascisti rastrellano nella stessa città 43 giovani e li impiccano ai lampioni di Viale Venezia, oggi Viale Martiri.Gli studenti vengono obbligati a guardare e questo fatto tragico e insopportabile la porta ad entrare nella Resistenza come staffetta con il nome di Gabriella, nome ispirato dall'Arcangelo Gabriele. La Resistenza viene vissuta dall'Anselmi non come fatto eccezionale ma come una reazione necessaria al terrore, la risposta della vita alla morte....The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.
