Rosita Steenbeek is schrijver. Na haar studententijd vertrok ze naar Rome, waar ze midden in het culturele leven belandde. Ze raakte bevriend met grote namen als Alberto Moravia, Federico Fellini en Marcello Mastroianni. Vanuit Rome schreef ze voor onder andere Vrij Nederland en vertaalde ze werk van Moravia en Susanna Tamaro. Verder schreef ze succesvolle romans zoals ‘De laatste vrouw', ‘Intensive Care' en ‘Ander licht'.     Nu komt Steenbeek met haar nieuwe boek ‘Over antieke wegen'. Na het verlies van haar moeder ondernam Steenbeek samen met fotograaf Art Khachatrian een fietsreis van Rome naar Mycene. Ze volgden de eeuwenoude Via Appia dwars door Italië en staken vervolgens over naar Griekenland. Een zware fietstocht vol bergpassen en nachtelijke ritten werd een emotionele reis, waarin ontmoetingen met mythische plekken haar dichter bij het verleden en haar moeder brachten. Femke van der Laan gaat met Rosita Steenbeek in gesprek.

Tailler la route en Suisse, c'est facile ! La route est un lien, une fuite, une liberté et quelques nuisances aussi. Comment notre carte routière s'est-elle dessinée depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à nos autoroutes ? Les routes sont un des grands atouts de la république et de l'Empire romain. On en trouve encore de nombreuses traces pavées dans nos paysages du XXIème siècle. La première voie romaine est la célèbre Via Appia, construite en 312 avant notre ère, qui permet le transport de troupes et de marchandises. À partir de cette artère, le réseau routier antique s'étend bientôt aux quatre points cardinaux. Un outil indispensable à l'appétit de conquêtes impériales : la traversée des Alpes devient un enjeu stratégique et ces voies romaines creusent leur sillon dans le territoire des Helvètes. Un territoire morcelé qui ne ressemble en rien à la Suisse d'aujourd'hui. Avec l'archéologue et historien, Laurent Flutsch, au micro de Pierre Jenny.

Kleopatra VII (69 f.kr- 30 f.kr) blev den sista faraon i Egypten. Hon var en maktspelerska som med intelligens och utstrålning lyckades återvinna makten flera gånger. Hennes dynasti ptoloméerna var präglad av syskonäktenskap och syskonmord. För eftervärlden är hon mest känd genom sina förhållanden med romarrikets två mäktigaste generaler Julius Caesar och Marcus Antonius.Bilden av Kleopatra är starkt påverkad av den romerska propagandan som Octavius, senare kejsare Augustus, spred i kampen om Egyptens rikedomar. Världens mest kända kvinna som pratade tio språk och hade studerat i Alexandrias berömda bibliotek gick därför till eftervärlden som en depraverad hora.Detta är det första avsnittet av två om Kleopatra av podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med antikvetaren Allan Klynne som bland annat skrivit boken Kleopatra – Liv och legend.Kleopatra VII Thea Filopator var det självständiga Egyptens sista farao. Hon tillhörde den ptolemeiska dynastin som grundlades av Alexander den stores general Ptolemais 304 f. kr.

Sur les routes antiques, certaines pierres étaient blanches pour une raison très pratique : elles facilitaient la navigation nocturne. Ces pierres réfléchissaient la lumière de la lune ou des torches, rendant les routes plus visibles pour les voyageurs, les chariots et les animaux. Cette technique ingénieuse montre à quel point les anciens avaient une compréhension avancée de l'ingénierie et de la logistique. Les routes antiques étaient vitales pour les échanges commerciaux, militaires et culturels. Elles traversaient des régions parfois désertiques ou forestières, où l'obscurité totale rendait le voyage dangereux. En choisissant des pierres blanches, souvent des calcaires clairs ou du marbre, les ingénieurs romains, grecs ou mésopotamiens amélioraient la sécurité et l'efficacité des déplacements nocturnes. Les routes de l'Antiquité : merveilles d'ingénierie Les routes antiques, particulièrement celles construites par les Romains, étaient des chefs-d'œuvre d'ingénierie. La plus célèbre d'entre elles, la Via Appia, reliait Rome au sud de l'Italie sur près de 500 km. Conçues pour durer, ces routes étaient composées de plusieurs couches : 1. La couche de fondation : de grosses pierres pour stabiliser le sol. 2. Une couche intermédiaire : de gravats pour assurer la solidité. 3. Une surface de roulement : des pavés ou des dalles soigneusement ajustés. Les routes romaines étaient légèrement bombées au centre pour permettre l'écoulement de l'eau, évitant ainsi les inondations et les dégradations. Des routes pour relier un empire L'efficacité des routes romaines était telle qu'elle devint un outil essentiel de l'expansion de l'Empire. Les légions pouvaient se déplacer rapidement, et les commerçants, messagers et voyageurs bénéficiaient d'un réseau fiable. Ces routes étaient souvent jalonnées de bornes milliaires, indiquant les distances et servant de points de repère. Les routes antiques aujourd'hui Certaines routes construites il y a plus de 2000 ans sont encore visibles, témoignant de leur qualité exceptionnelle. Elles ont inspiré les infrastructures modernes et restent un symbole de l'ingéniosité humaine. Ainsi, ces pierres blanches, apparemment simples, illustrent le soin apporté par les anciens à chaque détail de leurs routes. Elles rappellent que l'innovation ne réside pas seulement dans les grandes inventions, mais aussi dans les petites solutions pratiques qui facilitent la vie quotidienne. Hébergé par Acast.

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - Tra il 2019 e il 2023, le aree interne d'Italia hanno visto una crescita degli arrivi turistici del 6,9% contro l'1,3% del resto del Paese, con una permanenza media di 4 notti anziché 3. È una sorta di “effetto Covid” in positivo, che ha portato maggior visibilità a territori considerati prima poco attrattivi. Sulla scia di questa evoluzione delle inclinazioni dei turisti, sempre più attratti dal patrimonio culturale del Belpaese, Unioncamere ed Isnart, in collaborazione con l'Associazione Mirabilia Network, hanno lanciato un progetto di valorizzazione turistica della “Via Appia”, la regina viarum entrata a far parte della prestigiosa Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale Unesco. Dell'iniziativa si è discusso in occasione della XXVI edizione della Borsa Mediterranea del Turismo Archeologico, manifestazione che approfondisce il peso crescente in termini di domanda e presenze del segmento del turismo dei beni culturali. Il patrimonio italiano, che 10 anni fa risultava appena al 7° posto tra le motivazioni dei turisti, è da tre anni saldamente al primo posto, attraendo da solo un visitatore su 4, per un volume di spesa complessiva che, per le sole città d'arte, è stimata in 40 miliardi di euro nel 2023. Il riconoscimento della Via Appia apre grandi opportunità di valorizzazione e maggiore attrattività per le aree interne delle 4 regioni attraversate: Lazio, Campania Basilicata e Puglia.col/gtr

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - “Il recente riconoscimento Unesco dell'Appia non deve restare una medaglietta conquistata ma va utilizzato per rilanciare un turismo diffuso e sostenibile che aiuti i piccoli borghi e le cittadine situate sul percorso tra Roma e Brindisi". Così Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, presidente della Fondazione Univerde e docente di turismo sostenibile nelle università di Milano Bicocca, Roma Tor Vergata e Napoli Federico II, da sostenitore dei patrimoni Unesco rilancia proprio con le immagini della sua visita al confine storico sull'Appia tra Regno delle due Sicilie e Stato Pontificio l'impegno delle associazioni e dei comuni attraversati dalla via Appia per promuovere turismo sostenibile, lento e diffuso.col3/gsl

La Via Appia è il sessantesimo sito italiano a entrare nella lista del Patrimonio dell'Umanità dell'UNESCO. Una lista in cui il Belpaese occupa il primo posto al mondo per numero di monumenti riconosciuti. Della straordinaria "Regina Viarum" parliamo con Simone Quilici, direttore del Parco archeologico dell'Appia. Ma anche la Germania ha una lunga serie di siti iscritti al Patrimonio UNESCO, l'ultimo a entrarvi è stato il castello di Schwerin. Ce ne parla la guida Jürgen Hingst. Von Cristina Giordano.

In today's episode we delve into the potential shifts in EU-Iran relations with the inauguration of Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.We discuss how Pezeshkian, a reformist heart surgeon, might navigate the complexities of his limited power and the influence of the IRGC, amidst escalating tensions in Gaza and Lebanon.Babak Kamiar provides expert analysis on what slight changes we might expect in diplomatic ties with the EU.Additionally, we explore Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's pivotal visit to China against the backdrop of the EU's trade war, and celebrate the Via Appia's addition to the UNESCO World Heritage list, enhancing Italy's rich cultural legacy.

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - "Esprimo tutta la mia soddisfazione e il mio orgoglio per ilgrande risultato ottenuto. La 'Via Appia. Regina Viarum' da oggi è patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità. Si è trattato di un lavoro corale che ha coinvolto istituzioni e cittadini. Per noi è un punto di partenza e non di arrivo". Lo afferma il ministro della Cultura, Gennaro Sangiuliano, in merito all'inserimento della "Via Appia. Regina Viarum" nella Lista del Patrimonio Mondiale. Si tratta del 60esimo sito italiano riconosciuto dall'UNESCO.sat (fonte video: Ministero della Cultura)

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - "Questa è una vittoria per l'Italia che consolida un primato prestigioso e per il Sud che vede coinvolte 4 regioni, decine di Comuni e parchi naturali. Con questo riconoscimento la Campania si conferma con la Lombardia la regione con più riconoscimenti materiali e immateriali. Ma oltre che festeggiare bisogna aumentare le tutele delle aree attraversate dalla Regina Viarum. Il riconoscimento significa prestigio ma anche responsabilità". Lo dice Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, presidente della fondazione Univerde e sostenitore della candidatura dell'Appia a patrimonio dell'UNESCO, che aveva lanciato un appello proprio da Porta della Portella, storico confine sull'Appia tra Regno di Napoli e Stato Pontificio, e da Brindisi, e oggi si complimenta con tutte le istituzioni e le associazioni che hanno lavorato a questo successo.sat

I Romani la chiamavano Regina Viarum, la Regina delle strade. Originariamente collegava Roma a Capua, ma fu poi prolungata fino a Brindisi. Presto potrebbe essere dichiarata Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO.

Do all roads lead to Rome? We find out in today's episode all about one of the Roman Empire's greatest legacies - it's web-like network of roads and route-ways. From the famous Via Appia, the longest road in mainland Italy, to Watling Street, the road on which Boudica was defeated, Rome's roads left an indelible mark on the territories their centurions conquered.But what do we actually know about these ancient streets and pathways? What was road travel like back in Roman times? And most importantly, what was their equivalent of a service station?To explain all this and much more Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Catherine Fletcher, author of a new book called The Roads to Rome.

Embark on an intimate odyssey with our guest Regina Vighetto, as she unveils her family's vibrant migration tapestry from Italy to the coffee farms of São Paulo, Brazil. Her tale is one of resilience and discovery, and unearthing a narrative enriched by ancestral dreams and the quest for prosperity in a new world. As Regina shares her genealogical saga, I can't help but interweave my own pursuit of Italian citizenship, which sparked a genealogy fervor that mirrors her and her husband's scholarly endeavors in the field at BYU-Idaho. Together, we journey through the poignant realizations that come with genealogical tourism and the heartfelt tug to physically connect with our past.As we unravel the complex layers of our lineage, we stumble upon the shadowy figures of war deserters and the murky waters of family secrets concealed by time and societal pressures. Our discourse meanders through the revelations that emerge from documents like the Strato di Famiglia and the fascinating tales they tell. We delve into the emotional and cultural implications of an Italian way of life when discussing the seductive slow-pace, the rituals of food shopping, and the tantalizing health benefits of a traditional Italian diet. Whether you're drawn to the mysteries of your own heritage or simply curious about the allure of Italian living, this episode is an exploration of the profound connections between personal history, identity, and the enchanting Italian lifestyle.In 2019, my husband Henrique Vighetto Neto and I embarked on an online course in Family History at BYU Idaho. We did not know that it could become a profession. In my opinion, this field is currently growing and evolving. As we connect with our ancestors, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and begin to feel like a part of something greater—a family. Soon, we developed a strong desire to come to Italy and pursue our citizenship processes. And so, we did. Let me share a bit of our journey in discovering the Vighetto's family roots in Turin, Piedmont.To reconstruct his family tree, we needed the marriage certificate of the Italian ancestor. A quick phone call to his cousin, Iris, led us to the church where Enrico (the Italian grandfather) married Rosa Ianni, and we obtained the document.Certain aspects of his family history were always recounted: the family's wealth, complete with a butler; their ownership of the Tobacco and Salt Monopoly; and their business on Via Appia. Additionally, his ancestor was described as war-worn and somewhat neurotic (after we discovered he was a war dissident).After obtaining our Italian citizenship and settling in Italy, our primary goal was to find living relatives. We scoured documents, visited places (embracing genealogical tourism), and engaged in conversations. We did find family members, but unfortunately, they were all in the cemetery. This particular branch of the family did not flourish. Enrico, the sole son who had fled war memories, was the exception. He wasn't part of the massive wave of Italian immigrants who left poverty behind between 1880 and 1930, he left for other reason. His family line, however, thrived and bore much fruit.This is my website Italian Genealogy - ITGenealogySupport the showPurchase my book "Farmers and Nobles" here or at Amazon.

It's time for part 2! Emma shares more of her Roman adventure! This episode is more about the places to visit in this wonderful city, and we're not just talking about the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. Think, majestic medieval towns that are just a short drive from Rome. If you're a foodie, go back to Part 1 of this episode where we talked all about food in Rome.If you prefer to read, check out this epic blog post with lots of advice on what to do and where to eat in Rome!This is what we spoke about during the episodeTivoli is a small town on the mountain tops and a just a 40-minute drive away from Rome. Throughout history, noble people went to Tivoli for their summers to escape the Roman heat in summer. The Villa d'Este is an ancient Renaissance site with beautiful interiors and mind-blowing gardens.Caprarola is a small town in Lazio region, where Rome is also a part of. The Palazzo Farnese is a Renaissance mansion in Caprarola known for its pentagonal design and amazing frescoes or plaster wall paintings.The Rocca Calascio is a medieval castle on top of the Apennine mountains in Abruzzo.The Castello Orsini Odescalchi is a 15th century castle in the Bracciano region. Here you'll find a massive collection of weapons used during the war and spectacular views. Calcata is a little medieval village on top of a cliff that has a very Bohemian artistic feel with lots of arts and crafts. If you visit Tuscany, it must be an overnight trip to see the beautiful sites such as Volterra.When you go to Orvieto, a small town in Umbria, you can visit the Cathedral. Just book a little train trip from Rome and you're there.The Via Appia is one of the earliest and most important Roman roads of the ancient Republic.Trastevere is a historic neighbourhood known for its narrow cobblestone streets. You can go here for dinner or drinks.Ostia Antica is a massive archaeological site outside the main city. If you are a lover of history, you have to go here.The Aventine Keyhole is a beautiful view where you look through the keyhole and you will see perfectly framed St Peter's Basilica.There's just so much to see in Rome and six weeks were not enough. You could walk around the city centre every day and you'll see something new. I also really recommend going at different times of the day. When you travel to Rome. Ahhh, Roma! When you travel to Rome you experience so much, you learn so much about yourself, about the history and culture. You come back a different person.If you loved this episode, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

Long before Julius Caesar became one of the most powerful rulers in the world, he was a relatively unknown curator of the Via Appia, a road stretching from Rome on the Tyrrhenian Coast to the Salento Peninsula on the Adriatic Sea. Our guest John Keahey traversed the Via Appia, and he joins us to talk about it.

Kleopatra var den sista hellenistiska härskaren. Hon styrde som kvinnlig farao över Egypten omedelbart innan landet införlivades med det romerska imperiet. Genom att måla upp henne som orientalisk huvudskurk gjorde romarna henne till föremål för en negativ propaganda av sällan skådat slag, och deras bisarra och fantasifulla överdrifter gav henne ett kändisskap som består än idag.Alla tror sig veta hur Kleopatra såg ut, men alla gissar. Den antika världens karismatiska skönhetsdrottning, Kleopatra av Egypten, är en av historiens mest fascinerande gåtor. Trots att hon regerade påfallande länge och effektivt är det bara för hennes kärleksaffärer och ouppklarade dödsfall som hon blivit ihågkommen. Och det är hennes fienders fel: deras intensiva baktaleri gav henne evigt liv i historieböckerna.Men hur mycket är sant? Lät hon verkligen upplösa pärlor i ättika och dricka upp dem för att imponera på Marcus Antonius? Kommer Elizabeth Taylors rolltolkning på bio den historiska verkligheten nära? Vad vet vi om Kleopatra, när det kommer till kritan?I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om drottning Kleopatra – inte bara om hennes liv och gärning utan också om hur minnet av henne har formats och förändrats under tvåtusen år.Bild: Marmorbyst av Kleopatra VII av Egypten från ca. 40-30 f.Kr.

Via Appia var en av de tidigaste och viktigaste vägarna i antikens Rom. Den byggdes 312 f.v.t. av den romerska censorn Appius Claudius Caecus och förband Rom med Brindisi, en stor hamn i sydöstra Italien. Vägen designades från början för militära ändamål och användes för att transportera trupper och förnödenheter till och från de romerska territorierna.Idag är Via Appia fortfarande delvis intakt och är ett populärt turistmål i Italien. Via Appia är fortfarande en viktig del av den romerska historien och ett bevis på romarnas fantastiska ingenjörskunskaper. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Man muss vom Zentrum Roms aus nur ein paar Busstationen stadtauswärts fahren, dann beginnt am imposanten Grabmal der Caecilia Metella eine andere Welt. Die alte Via Appia, die von Rom in den Süden führt, ist der ideale Ort für einen Osterspaziergang.

Kleopatra VII (69 f.kr- 30 f.kr) blev den sista faraon i Egypten. Hon var en maktspelerska som med intelligens och utstrålning lyckades återvinna makten flera gånger. Hennes dynasti ptoloméerna var präglad av syskonäktenskap och syskonmord. För eftervärlden är hon mest känd genom sina förhållanden med romarrikets två mäktigaste generaler Julius Caesar och Marcus Antonius.Bilden av Kleopatra är starkt påverkad av den romerska propagandan som Octavius, senare kejsare Augustus, spred i kampen om Egyptens rikedomar.

Questa settimana andiamo a camminare sulla via Appia, via antichissima che racchiude molte delle contraddizioni italiane. Poi andiamo a Lucca: ci addentriamo nella città e prendiamo posto al Classica music festival. E poi, in Umbria, a Rasiglia, frazione piccola piccola, attraversata da tanti corsi d'acqua.

La Via Traiana viene costruita per volere dell'omonimo imperatore come alternativa alla Via Appia, nel tratto che collegava Benevento con Brindisi. Oggi i Comuni lungo questo antico percorso fanno rete per la valorizzazione del loro patrimonio culturale di cui fanno parte la tradizione culinaria e i prodotti tipici dell'Alto Salento. Li scopriremo nel corso di questa puntata che comincia da un grande salentino espatriato ormai da molti anni, ma sempre col Salento nel cuore: è con noi l'ex storico inviato Rai Antonio Caprarica, noto al grande pubblico soprattutto in quanto conoscitore delle vicende della Royal Family inglese. Il nostro viaggio sulla via Traiana parte da un posto incantato: siamo a Savelletri di Fasano, nello splendido resort Borgo Egnazia, nei pressi del sito archeologico di Egnazia, tra gli uliveti secolari e il Mare Adriatico. In questa struttura, nata nel 2010, il giovane chef Domenico Schingaro coordina le cucine di sei ristoranti e dello stellato "Due Camini" . Da Borgo Egnazia, rientriamo nell'entroterra verso Fasano per poi prendere la Strada Statale 379 di Egnazia e delle Terme di Torre Canne per arrivare a Brindisi dove ci accolgono gli studenti dell'Istituto Alberghiero "Sandro Pertini" (https://www.alberghierobrindisi.edu.it/) del preside Marcello Castellano. Un attimo di pausa dal nostro viaggio per commentare con la responsabile del Consorzio Sara Margiotta, i dati positivi delle vendite del Salame Cacciatore Italiano : +4,7% a volume e del +4% a valore. Da Brindisi, in una trentina di minuti, arriveremo nel borgo del gusto di Ceglie Messapica, rinomato per la sua cultura gastronomica: la città vanta una preziosa produzione di prodotti da forno tra cui il presidio Slow Food del Biscotto Cegliese. Ce ne parla Francesco Nacci, Presidente del Consorzio di Tutela.

Op de weg van Appia is een reisverslag in vers en beeld dat herinnering en fantasie laat samenkomen in een Italiaans landschap met zijn ruïnes, heuvels en zeeën, en de Via Appia als rode draad. Uitgegeven door Vrijdag, Uitgeverij Spreker: Michael Vandebril

Latinlerle meselelerini çözen iki halk artık birbirleri ile olan meselelerini de kökten çözmek istiyordu. Roma 23 yıl süren savaşta mevcut hali ile çözüme gidemeyeceğini anlayıp geleneksel savaş tarzını değiştirdi ve ileride bir klasik olacak manipüler sistemi icat etti, Via Appia'yı Roma'ya çıkan yolların birincisini inşa etti. Bu savaş Roma'yı Doğu Akdeniz'in büyük güçleri ile çarpışmaya hazır hale getiren savaştı.

In this sermon we come to one of those sections of the Bible that we might be tempted to skip over. At the end of Chapter 2 in Philippians, Paul takes 12 verses to describe his travel plans along with the travel itineraries of two other individuals: Timothy and Epaphroditus. Why should we care? By the end of this message, you'll be glad you didn't skip over this section!   Timothy and Epaphroditus are sent to Philippi by Paul to serve on 3 different levels:   Emissaries: In the first century world, news traveled by means of couriers sent from place to place with letters in hand. So at the first and most basic level, Timothy and Epaphroditus serve as couriers on the Via Appia and Via Egnata, because they are reliable and trustworthy men who Paul can count on to get the job done.   Encouragers: These are no emotionally uninvolved postmen, simply conveying unknown letters from stranger to stranger. No, these are brothers in Christ who care dearly for one another and for their respective communities. So, these men were sent not only as letter carriers, but to embody the love and affection that binds Paul and the Philippian believers together in Christian friendship. In essence, these men are representatives of spiritual affection and friendship. That is a model for what the church needs today: embodied encouragement shared through being together in worship, community, and service. We're better together!   Exemplaries: Finally, Paul sends Timothy because he there is no other equal who cares for the Philippians like Paul. Timothy exemplifies the genuine concern for the welfare of others, the embodiment of Christlike love and others-centered humility. In essence, Timothy is embodying what Paul is exhorting in the book of Philippians! We too are called to be imitators of Christ. But sometimes that seems like a lofty or intangible goal. Which is why God gives us people like Timothy and Epaphroditus and Paul, to show us what Christlikeness looks like in real, everyday life. We learn by imitation, by patterning ourselves after others and following in their example.   Takeaways: Who am I imitating? Who is imitating me?   The person you will become is directly linked with the heroes you admire and the friendships that you cultivate. Philippians 2:19-30

What did the Romans eat 2000 years ago? Italian chef Paolo Magnanimi has experimented with ancient recipes and serves dishes from the past at his restaurant in Rome.

¿Qué comían los romanos hace 2000 años? El cocinero italiano Paolo Magnanimi no solo lo ha averiguado, sino que además sirve a sus comensales platos de la Antigüedad junto a Via Appia en Roma.

Un racconto di viaggio che è come uno spartito, con l'inizio inteso come Ouverture. Un evento acustico, organizzato per l'orecchio e la voce, che incide parole narrabonde sul solco del vinile con la puntina di grammofono della voce. Paolo Rumiz racconta l'avventura magnifica e terribile, terrena e visionaria, vissuta attraverso meraviglie ma anche devastazioni, lungo la più antica via europea. Alessandro Scillitani descrive gli spazi attraversati mediante montaggi visuali e sonori, accompagnati dal vivo dalle musiche da lui composte lungo il cammino (Tommi Prodi, chitarra, Stefano Ferrari, violino e basso, Marco Macchi, piano, Mimmo Fontana, batteria). Completano il percorso citazioni di illustri viaggiatori, letture dal libro Appia di Rumiz e le musiche originali di Alfredo Lacosegliaz.

« De notre aventure, je ne sais pas ce qui est resté le plus clairement imprimé dans mon esprit : les visages ou les paysages, les pierres que nous avons vues ou les atmosphères que nous avons flairées en chemin. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que ce voyage a été le plus terre à terre et en même temps le plus visionnaire de tous ceux que j'ai faits. Tandis que le poids de mon sac à dos m'ancrait fermement au sol, ma tête vagabondait parmi les nuages, à la manière d'un cerf-volant, et en même temps la bonne chère méditerranéenne provoquait d'appétissants courts-circuits avec l'Histoire. » Dans cette bible voyageuse, Paolo Rumiz ressuscite la Via Appia, vingt-trois siècles après sa construction. Après six cent douze kilomètres et vingt-neuf jours de marche, Rumiz dégage cette voie légendaire des toiles d'araignées sous lesquelles l'oubli et l'incurie l'avaient ensevelie. Pas après pas, il nous conduit vers les merveilles cachées de la mère de toutes les routes, plus ancienne et plus variée que le chemin de Compostelle. Ce récit passionnant propose, pour la première fois, une cartographie complète de ce parcours mythique reliant Rome à la Méditerranée. En restituant la Via Appia au patrimoine européen, Paolo Rumiz espère « qu'une armée de voyageurs vienne à leur tour suivre ce fil d'Ariane qui serpente à travers les splendeurs de l'Italie méridionale ».

According to the cultural custom of the time, Cecilia's family betrothed her to a pagan nobleman named Valerian despite St. Cecelia's consecration to God. On their wedding night, Cecilia told Valerian that she had sworn to remain a virgin before God and that an angel guarded her body, protecting her virginity from violation. She told Valerian that he would be able to see this angel if he went to the third milestone along the Via Appia and was baptized by Pope Urban I. Valerian went to the milestone as Cecilia had instructed, and there was baptized. She later converted his brother as well. During that era, it was forbidden for anyoneto bury the bodies of Christians, so newly-baptized Valerian and his brother dedicated themselves to burying the bodies of all the Christians they found. For this, they were arrested and brought before a judge who ordered them to worship the Roman god Jupiter, and were martyred when they refused to deny their Christian faith. The police then came for Cecilia and strongly advised her to renounce her faith. In reply, she told them that she would prefer to die than to denounce the true faith. According to legend, upon hearing her response, they brought her to alarge oven with the intention of suffocating her with the hot and toxic gasses it emitted. However, instead of choking, Cecilia began to sing. Infuriated, her persecutors attempted to behead her, but after three strokes of the sword, Cecilia was still alive and her head was not severed. The soldiers thenleft her covered in blood in her own home, where she remained for three days before she died. The church Santa Cecilia in Trastevere was built on the site of the house where she lived. St. Cecelia is known for "singing in her heart to the Lord" upon her wedding day, despite her consecration to God. She is the patron Saint of musicians and poets because of this sentiment and her alleged singing within the oven during her martyrdom. Her fortitude may inspire the modern Catholic in the trials of life and inspire one to find God within music. Saint of the Day Copyright CNA, Catholic News Agency

This episode we’re back on the road(s) again! Vivian’s been itching to do another roads episode ever since the Via Appia all the way back at the start of season 1, and today we’re not just exploring one road but an entire road system: Norway’s tunnel highways.The decision to take this podcast road trip through Norway started when Vivian was sent a YouTube video of one of Norway’s road systems, a tunnel leading to a roundabout inside the tunnel, with one leg exiting the roundabout into a giant suspension bridge back to yet another underground roundabout, which she describes as a “car disco.” Because of its rocky geography and many fjords, Norway is home to more than 900 road tunnels, included the longest road tunnel in the world measuring a whopping 24.5km long.Back in 2009 Norway was ranked one of the worst countries in the world for road quality, lagging behind Portugal, Croatia, and the famously bankrupt Greece, and far behind other countries with similar economics and geography such as Sweden or Switzerland. One such road was the infamous E39 highway, which runs along the west coast of the country spanning 1,100km, but taking a full 21 hours to drive as a result of 7 separate ferry crossings along the way. In 2017 the decision was made to reinvest a portion of the country’s oil profits back into infrastructure and remove these ferry crossing as part of a scheme that would cost the equivalent of $50,000,000,000CAD, adding a number of bridges and tunnels and cutting the travel time by half through a series of mega projects. Many of these projects involve mind boggling civil engineering feats, such as the Rogfast, which will be longest subsea tunnel in the world once completed, a full 26.7km long and going as deep as 392 metres below sea level, and will include a diamond-style undersea interchange complete with two separate roundabouts. In addition to the challenges of building the road and tunnels themselves, other challenges will include robust ventilation systems, fire safety systems, electrical systems, and even special types of concrete that will self seal cracks under explosive pressure to protect against potential terrorist attacks. The innovations involved in the modernization of the E39 will also include some rare structures like floating bridges, and even never-before built structures such as underwater, floating tunnels, suspended by floating concrete pontoons to allow for boat passage through the fjords. This sort of innovation is exemplary of Norway’s future-facing transportation strategy, and as such it is no surprise that the country has the world’s largest fleet of electric plug-in vehicles, per capita, with more than half of vehicles sold in 2019 being electric. — Image/Video GalleryVallavik tunnel (underground roundabout) | Vallavik Tunnel to Hardanger Bridge video | Hardanger bridge | Trollstigen Road | Rogfast Undersea Junction | Coastal Highway Project Map (courtesy of The Norwegian Public Roads Administration) — Learn more at: MeasuredInMetric.com | Facebook | InstagramMusic by: John Julius - Bandcamp.comEdited by: Astronomic Audio

Epizódunk vendége Barabás Árpád. Érettségizett kőműves, a hazai térkőgyártás meghatározó alakja, mellesleg Veszprém egyik legsikeresebb családi vállalkozásának tulajdonosa. Míg mások a főiskolát vagy az egyetemet választották érettségi után, ő kitanulta a kőműves szakmát, de összesen csak 3 hónapig volt életében alkalmazott. Vérbeli vállalkozó, akiről idővel bebizonyosodott az is, hogy szakmája egyik legnagyobb innovátora. A beszélgetés elején megállapítottuk, a 90-es évek elején a Napló hirdetési osztálya  az internetnél is gyorsabb és hatékonyabb kommunikációs csatornának bizonyult.  A cégalapításról faggattuk, de ő korábbról indítja a történetet. Hajmáskéren nőtt fel tyúkok, kacsák, lovak, illetve orosz tankok között, majd 93-ban egyszercsak ott találja magát Montecarloban a kaszinó előtt körforgalomban. Erről a helyről egészen addig azt hitte, csak a filmekben létezik, amit csak a James Bond filmek kedvéért rendeznek be. 'Itt kattant át a fejünkben egy kapcsoló!" - ekkor határozzák el feleségükkel, vállalkozást indítanak, ahogy hazaérnek az utazásból. Szót ejtettünk a pénzről is, vagyis az "asztal sarkán a morzsáról".  Faggattuk sikerei titkáról, s bizony meglepődtünk, amikor a 29 évet végig meghatározó, legfontosabbnak tartott tulajdonságát említette, A személyes motivációról és annak átalakulásáról, a szükségesnél jóval több ötletéről, innovációról és szabadalmakról, a meghódított Arab-félszigetről hosszasan tudtunk diskurálni. Megtudtuk azt is; mindössze egy ember volt, aki nem lebeszélte, blokkolta, hanem lökést adott a téglakő fejlesztéséhez. A sorsfordító szereplő legfontosabb mondatát is felidézte Árpi.  Az igazi kikapcsolódást jelentő utazásaikról megtudjuk, igazából a bátorság és a bizalom teszi lehetővé, hiszen hetekre kell magára hagyni a cégeket.   Beszélgetésünk ezúttal is két epizódba fért bele...

Short Story about my roadtrip to Italy.

Il Cammino non segue un percorso “filologico” in senso stretto come la Via Appia o la Via Traiana, ma ha messo a sistema strade secondarie romane, vie medievali, tratturi e sentieri, nell’intento di tenere insieme una direzione che fosse anche un’idea, ovvero quella di attraversare le sconosciute aree interne del Meridione d’Italia, per giungere nel cuore di un territorio, oggi considerato marginale, ma che per millenni è stato un centralissimo punto di equilibrio di popolazioni e culture diverse.SITO DEL CAMMINOhttps://camminomaterano.it/___DUMA C'ANDUMA - Trekking e Viaggi a Piediwww.dumacanduma.orgFacebook: https://facebook.com/dumacandumaYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/dumacandumaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dumacandumaTwitter: https://twitter.com/dumacanduma

These are interspersed with quick fire thoughts on some of the games I’ve been playing! This time I’m talking about Museum, Draftosaurus, Hansa Teutonica and Via Appia and my Tuppences are ‘Paid Reviews’ and ‘A Reviewers Worth’. Enjoy and send me a message!

All roads lead to Rome, and this week we’ll be exploring the first road that led to Rome, The Via Appia. This 563km long early highway would put Rome on the map and pave the way for the Roman Empire. The Via Appia, also known as The Appian Way, was first constructed between 312 and 264 BCE as a response to the first Samnite War leading to the decimation of Capua, who had offered themselves up to Rome in exchange for protection. Unfortunately that offer of protection was moot, with Capua being too great a distance away. The Roman censor Appius Cladius would leverage his influence and power over Rome’s treasury to secure the 259 million Sestertius required to construct the highway. While highly controversial at the time, 174 million Sestertius would be transported to Rome on the road annually, paying for itself in just a year and a half. Romans famously built their roads without curves, and without modern surveying methods the Romans would need to employ some impressive mathematics to plan this gargantuan undertaking, which John describes as “basic trigonometry played out on a frustratingly large scale.” Much has changed in how we plan roads, but surprisingly little has changed in how we build the roads themselves since the Via Appia was first constructed over 2000 years ago. While the highway in its original form no longer exists, having been disassembled and its materials repurposed after the fall of Rome, a small portion still exists today as a tourist destination.

Eric Moormann werd in 1955 geboren in Boxmeer, en studeerde en promoveerde aan de Katholieke Universiteit van Nijmegen - tegenwoordig de Radboud Universiteit. Daar is Moormann nu Hoogleraar Klassieke Archeologie. Ruim 15 jaar was hij docent Klassieke Archeologie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, en in die periode is hij ook verbonden geweest aan de Nederlandse Instituten van Rome en Athene. Moormann geldt als autoriteit in de archeologie van Rome, Pompeii en Herculaneum en leidt opgravingen aan de Via Appia. Voor een breder publiek publiceerde hij populaire naslagwerken als ?Van Achilles tot Zeus? en ?Van Alexandros tot Zenobia?, over de kunsthistorische verbeelding van klassieke mythologie en geschiedenis. Ook opera?s met thema?s uit de mythologie en oude zijn daarin opgenomen, wat blijk geeft van zijn grote liefde voor muziek. In 2015 verscheen van zijn hand ?Pompeii?s Ashes?. Het boek verhaalt over 250 jaar archeologie op deze beroemde site, maar ook over de manier waarop Pompeii werd beschreven door kunstenaars en toeristen door de eeuwen heen en in opera?s en films tot leven wordt gewekt. Moormann is regelmatig op de radio om commentaar en toelichting te geven op archologische ontdekkingen en hij is bij tentoonstellingbezoekers bekend van de tentoonstelling Rome. De droom van Constantijn in De Nieuwe Kerk, vorig jaar, en nu van een lopende tentoonstelling in Leiden, getiteld Casa Romana. Moormann heeft zich nooit gewaagd aan het bespelen van een instrument, maar is fervent bezoeker van concerten. Niet alleen in het Concertgebouw, waar hij op een steenworp afstand vandaan woont en zelden een Zaterdag Matinee overslaat. Maar ook is Moormann een van de gelukkigen die in de zomer naar Bayreuther Festspiele afreizen om de opera?s van Wagner te kunnen horen en zien in het theater dat de componist zelf liet bouwen in Zuid-Duitsland.

Professor Kleiner characterizes third-century Rome as an "architectural wasteland" due to the rapid change of emperors, continuous civil war, and a crumbling economy. There was no time to build and the only major architectural commission was a new defensive wall. The crisis came to an end with the rise of Diocletian, who created a new form of government called the Tetrarchy, or four-man rule, with two leaders in the East and two in the West. Diocletian and his colleagues instituted a major public and private building campaign in Rome and the provinces, which reflected the Empire's renewed stability. Professor Kleiner begins with Diocletian's commissions in Rome--a five-column monument dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Tetrarchy, the restoration of the Curia or Senate House, and the monumental Baths of Diocletian. She then presents Diocletian's Palace at Split, designed as a military camp and including the emperor's octagonal mausoleum, followed by an overview of the palaces and villas of other tetrarchs in Greece and Sicily. Professor Kleiner concludes with the villa on the Via Appia in Rome belonging to Maxentius, son of a tetrarch, and the main rival of another tetrarch's son, Constantine the Great.
