mattinale

Discesero fino alla porta del borgo. Passato l'archivolto, la strada prese a dilungarsi verso l'Appia: andò tra uliveti appena argentati dall'alba e proni scheltri di viti nelle vigne. Poi rigirava, come sola, sopra le bagnate spalle del monte. Al primo tornante rigirò pure la veduta. Il Pestalozzi levò il capo un attimo, spense il motore, frenò, fermò la corsa, con una certa cautela: sostò due minuti, da strologare il mattino. Era l'alba, e più. Le vette dell'Algido, dei Carseolani e dei Velini inopinatamente presenti, grigie. Magia repentina del Soratte, come una rocca di piombo, di cenere. Di là dai gioghi di Sabina, per bocchette e portelli che interrompessero la lineatura del crinale, il rivivere del cielo si palesava lontanamente in sottili strisce di porpora e più remoti ed affocati e splendori, di solfo giallo, di vermiglione: strane lacche: nobili riverberi, come da un crogiuolo del profondo. Spentasi la tramontana il giorno innanzi, ecco, ad alternare gli auspici, la bava calda, sulla pelle e sul viso, l'alito gratuito e omai cadente d'una strapazzata di scirocco. Di là, da dietro a Tivoli e a Càrsoli, flottiglie di nubi orizzontali tutte arricciolate di cirri, con falsi-fiocchi di zafferano, s'avventavano l'una dopo l'altra a battaglia, filavano gioiosamente a sfrangiarsi: indove? dove? chissà! ma di certo indò l'ammiraglio loro le comandava a farsi fottere, come noi il nostro, con tutti i velaccini in tiro nel vento. Labili, cangevoli fuste, bordeggiavano a quota alta e irreale, in quella specie di sogno capovolto che è il nostro percepire, dopo il risveglio ad alba, bordeggiavano la scogliera cinerina delle montagne degli Equi, la nudità dealbata del Velino, antemurale della Marsica. da C.E. Gadda, Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana

(poi ditemi che il pasticciaccio è pesante. sim, é verdade, la lettura non è scorrevolissima, però, per zeus, ci si trovano dentro certe chicche...)

Milano mobilità: dopo la sperimentazione, pedonalizzazione permanente per dieci località.

Milano mobilità: dopo la sperimentazione, pedonalizzazione permanente per dieci località. L’8 ottobre 2023 dieci località superano il periodo di sperimentazione avviato tra il 2019 e il 2020 e diventano pedonali in via definitiva. Si tratta delle vie Spoleto e Venini, in zona viale Monza nel Municipio 2, di via Monte Velino a Calvairate, nel Municipio 4, Porta Genova, nel Municipio 6, piazza Sicilia a Porta Vercellina e via Quarti a Baggio, nel Municipio 7, via Val Lagarina a Quarto Oggiaro, nel Municipio 8, via Toce e piazza Minniti, nel quartiere Isola e piazza Belloveso a Niguarda, nel Municipio 9. In questi anni l'Amministrazione comunale ha scelto di promuovere la qualità della vita dei cittadini e delle cittadine anche attraverso l'estensione delle aree pedonali, migliorando la vivibilità di spazi sempre più fruiti da residenti, commercianti e turisti, oltre che da studenti e studentesse, quando si tratta di aree di fronte alle scuole. Una nuova modalità di trasformazione dello spazio urbano che non necessita di grandi opere strutturali e che si sta diffondendo in diverse parti del mondo, a fronte di una richiesta crescente di luoghi riservati alle attività sociali, di ritrovo e condivisione. Dopo il periodo transitorio, gli uffici della Mobilità del Comune hanno provveduto a verificare, in accordo con i Municipi che hanno tutti espresso parere favorevole, il successo della sperimentazione: le pedonalizzazioni hanno favorito un cambiamento culturale nell'utilizzo degli spazi pubblici, migliorato le interazioni sociali, privilegiato lo sviluppo del commercio locale. Nello stesso tempo, nelle zone interessate si è verificata una complessiva riduzione del traffico, compatibile con la realtà viabilistica dell'area. "Anche Milano – spiega Arianna Censi, assessora alla Mobilità – sta affrontando un cambiamento simile ad altre metropoli: l'esigenza di avere spazi non solo riservati alle auto, ma anche a pedoni e ciclisti. La conformazione della nostra città è compatta e non permette complete rivoluzioni, ma questi interventi in diversi Municipi hanno comunque cambiato la qualità della vita nei quartieri, promuovendo lo sviluppo economico locale e generando nuovi luoghi di socializzazione. Per il beneficio che portano nelle aree in cui vengono realizzate, queste pedonalizzazioni sperimentali stanno diventando definitive".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Ovindolli (Sirente-Velino Regional Park) - Cocullo

Dinsdag 24 mei

Wanneer ik wakker word is het gelukkig niet al te warm. In de verte hangt weer wat sluier bewolking, maar dat stelt niet veel voor. Het is voor mij in ieder geval een betere temperatuur om te wandelen dan de dagen hiervoor.

Om 9.00uur vertrek ik lopend richting 'Sirente-Velino Regional Park'. Op slechts ongeveer 500 meter vanaf de parkeerplaats begint het natuurgebied.

Vandaag loop ik richting Monte Tino op 1923m hoogte. De route loopt via een prachtige groene vallei.

Na een kleine twee kilometer wordt mijn weg geblokkeerd door een grote groep wilde paarden. Met een grote boog loop ik om hen heen. Iets verderop is er een raster geplaatst, waarschijnlijk om de paarden tegen te houden, maar ook ik kan hier niet meer verder. Gelukkig vind ik in mijn navigatie tool een alternatief pad waardoor ik mijn weg toch nog kan vervolgen.

Vandaag moet ik nog een keer voor koeien 🐂 en nog een keer voor paarden 🐎 uitwijken voordat ik de top kan bereiken 😂.

Onderweg bevind ik mezelf continu in een panorama decor, zo mooi en stil is het hier. Ook vandaag kom ik niemand tegen onderweg en tegen 12 uur sta ik dan ook helemaal alleen op de top!

De route is vandaag prima te doen, tuurlijk wordt er ook vandaag geklommen en lopen er zweetdruppels langs mijn gezicht, maar dit alles valt in het niet bij de eerdere tochten deze week.

Het is genieten op de top, waar ze een groot kruis hebben neergezet.

Aan het kruis hangt een bel en het tja hoe kan het ook anders...hier moet ik natuurlijk even een slinger aan geven 😂 zodat ze ook in het dal kunnen horen dat ik de top bereikt heb 💪🏻.

Rond kwart over twee ben ik alweer beneden. Op mijn gemakje was ik mezelf bij een fontein en zoek ik alvast mijn volgende bestemming op.

Ik rijd nog een uurtje verder richting het kleine en zeer oude stadje Cocullo. Ik struin wat door de straatjes en drink een cappuccino bij de enige bar, tevens supermarkt, van het stadje.

Ik slaap vanacht op een parkeerplaats met helaas enkel enigzins schuine vakken. Ik hoop dat het lukt om hier lekker te zijn slapen 🙃. Na het avondeten spreek ik nog met handen en voeten met enkele locals die allemaal erg vriendelijk zijn. Ik probeer zo even te pijlen of het geen probleem is dat ik hier vanacht blijf staan.

Vanaf Cocullo kan ik morgen naar Abruzzu rijden waar ik ook weer een leuke route heb gevonden. Ik bevind mij dan als het goed is in 'Parco Nacionale D'Abruzzo Lazio e Molise'.

Nera si innamorò di un giovane pastore di nome Velino. Durante un banchetto però la dea Giunone venne a conoscenza di questo amore profano e decise che la ninfa meritava una punizione. La portò così in cima al Monte Vettore dove Nera fu trasformata in un fiume, che prese il suo nome. ——— #alessioluziphoto #alessioluzi_photo #iclick_ita #portrait #art #portraitphotography #photography #portraits #arte #ritratti #ritrattofotografico #fotografia #photo #photooftheday #picoftheday #model #drawing #ig #disegno #photographer #artist #shooting #instagood #girl #love #italy #italia #flickr #ig_italy #ig_fotografiaitalia (presso Stifone, Umbria, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca_-DnpL9PE/?utm_medium=tumblr

These beautiful Italian towns will pay you to work remotely (CNN) — Remote working has become a possibility for many during the pandemic, meaning the office can now be anywhere from a kitchen table to a sandy beach on the other side of the world. And while relocating to a picturesque Italian town might also factor on many people’s lists, that prospect just got even better with two destinations offering to pay workers who make the move. In an attempt to lure newcomers, Santa Fiora in Tuscany and Rieti in Lazio will pay up to 50% of the rent of anyone who decides to move and telecommute on a long-term basis. Rents are already relatively low, so the deal is potentially very attractive, but make no mistake, this is no paid vacation. Applicants must have an “active” job, even if they can do it in front of a laptop on a panoramic terrace overlooking olive groves while sipping a glass of red wine. It doesn’t matter what you do for a living, as long as you’re tech-savvy enough to do it anywhere. Although Italy is still slowly emerging from its latest pandemic wave, it hopes to reopen properly to travelers over the next few weeks, raising the tantalizing prospect of a proper Italian summer. And while Covid has hit Italy particularly hard compared with some of its European neighbors, one silver lining has been that people have been relocating to previously depopulated towns, bringing new life to previously declining areas that now offer social distancing and lower contagion rates. So-called “smart working villages” are now flourishing in Italy as local authorities grasp the potential of boosting high-speed internet and setting up equipped “labs” for telecommuters. Santa Fiora Santa Fiora’s mayor hopes good internet connections will lure remote workers. Comune Santa Fiora Located in the heart of wild Tuscany, the medieval village of Santa Fiora is nestled in the Monte Amiata natural reserve and is close to the wonderful Val D’Orcia Valley, Montepulciano’s wine heaven, and Siena. Today the population is down to barely 2,500 residents but mayor Federico Balocchi believes technology and virtual work can revolutionize the future of his hometown. Teleworkers willing to relocate and rent a house here under the Tuscan sun will be given up to €200 ($240) or 50% of the total rent for long-term stays of between two and six months. Local rentals are typically in the range of €300 to €500 monthly, meaning anyone who moves here might end up paying as little as €100 per month. To help outsiders find their ideal type of accommodation — be it a cozy stone cottage in the historical center or a little villa in the surrounding green rolling hills — the town hall has launched a website (https://www.vivinpaese.it) to advertise rentals alongside a list of useful services and contacts of plumbers, baby sitters, doctors, electricians and food delivery to make newcomers feel instantly at home. There are also links to local estate agencies for a wider choice of houses. But don’t think you’ll get paid to laze around gorging on delicious pasta dishes and going on sightseeing sprees around Tuscany. Balocchi is keen to stress that the rental voucher is not a partly paid-for-vacation. Potential tenants must prove that they will be actually working remotely. “It’s not targeted at occasional touch-and-go tourists, but people who really want to experiment with our village life,” he tells CNN. “The goal is to incentivize people to move in and virtually work from here. We want Santa Fiora to become their flexible office. Each time a youth leaves to search for a job elsewhere a piece of our village is taken away. “This is only the first step of our smart village project, focused on connectivity and technology to lure new residents and firms.” The village has just been cabled with high-speed fiber internet and “working stations” are being identified amid its narrow cobblestone alleys and Renaissance palazzos. Beyond the broadband connection, the pace of life in Santa Fiora is slow, offering a sojourn far from city chaos and smog. It’s ideal for people wishing to spend a part of the year in a quiet and relaxing place surrounded by nature. Santa Fiora properties rent for about €300 to €500 per month. Comune Santa Fiora So what’s the catch? First, you must be really teleworking and prove it through a detailed document of what exactly it is you do for a living — be it architecture, design, poetry, freelance reporting, online cooking lessons or brokering world peace. It must be forwarded together with your application form. People on a pension are welcome to move in but won’t benefit from the voucher unless they’re still working as independent contractors, professionals or online consultants. Secondly, once you find somewhere in the town, you’ll need to forward proof of rental with contract details and your new address. The €200 monthly vouchers work as reimbursements to be paid only after you send rent receipts to the mayor’s office. Visiting Santa Fiora as soon as global travel resumes might be a good way to get a feel of the village life and personally search for your perfect abode. Balocchi assures the town’s tourist office will be happy to assist in all procedures and paperwork. Tenants are of course free to prolong their stay beyond six months, albeit at their own expense, with the mayor hoping that some might fall in love with the village and stay forever. And if they decide to invest in the local tourist sector, Santa Fiora is willing to give them up to €30,000 to open a B&B or restyle an old dwelling to turn into a hotel or hostel. There’s even a baby bonus of up to €1,500 for each newborn if anyone decides to take up residency and have a kid. Santa Fiora is located in the heart of Tuscan wine country. Comune Santa Fiora “That would be great if new families actually settled in,” says Balocchi. “This place is perfect for remote workers who must balance jobs and kids. We have low kindergarten fees, free school shuttle buses and many activities for children to allow parents time to breathe.” A former mining center, Santa Fiora is an idyllic Tuscan hilltop village where nature and art perfectly combine. There are towers, fountains, panoramic piazzas overlooking the hilly landscape, museums and works of Renaissance artists. Cut through by the river Fiora it’s surrounded by chestnut forests and a network of streams, waterfalls and pristine springs. There’s an ancient spectacular fish pond surrounded by a lush garden of pine trees, magnolia and orchards enclosed by lavish palazzos and a castle. Top outdoor activities include horseback riding, biking and trekking along mountain trails. Santa Fiora has a popular international music festival in summer and regular food fairs starring local mushrooms, onions and chestnuts. Rieti Rieti, not far from Rome, is also offering rental deals to remote workers. Scopri La Sabina For those who’d rather be closer to Rome, stunning Rieti has a similar deal but for a minimum of a three months stay. Eclipsed by the fame and allure of the Eternal City, it’s an under-the-radar destination worth seeing. Even though Rieti has some 50,000 inhabitants and is one of the largest cities in the Lazio region, its population isn’t growing. “We’re kind of stuck,” says deputy mayor Daniele Sinibaldi. “Young people still keep fleeing to Rome in search of work so we’ve embarked on a mission to lure remote workers who will turn Rieti into their smart office and revitalize our city.” Rieti’s housing offer is even more appealing. Rent vouchers could be extended beyond six months and a preliminary lease agreement is all the proof needed to get the ball rolling, says Sinibaldi. Teleworkers are free to pick a property even in nearby rural districts where rents are lower compared to the city. Finding a place might be trickier as there’s no town hall website with available properties. Applicants will need to get in touch directly with agencies or online rental platforms (such as immobiliare.it; subito.it; casa.it). Sinibaldi is confident telecommuting will revitalize sleepy Rieti. “Rents in town are in the range of €250 to €500,” he says. “For €600 you can have an entire little villa in the peaceful countryside. Also, the voucher can be used in the entire territory of Rieti, including the rural hamlets of Sant’Elia, Cerchiara and the skiing resort of Terminillo but we’d love to have people move in to live in the historical center.” Rieti’s origins are steeped in legend. It was founded by the fiery Italic tribes of the Sabines who inhabited the wild hills and forests of the area but were forced to bend the knee to ancient Rome after a series of bloody massacres. During Roman times Rieti was a strategic outpost along the Via Salaria salt route, one of the main highways of the Empire. Enclosed within protective medieval walls and turrets along the pristine Velino river, Rieti is locally known as “the freshwater Venice” for its network of streams, ponds, springs and luxuriant lake reserves. Rieti’s rental deal extends to the surrounding countryside. Comune Rieti It’s a mix of medieval, Renaissance, baroque and modern architecture where monumental piazzas, fortified walls and aristocratic palaces are connected by narrow picturesque alleys. Standing on the majestic Roman bridge to admire deep red sunsets that set the river ablaze is a popular evening activity. Since the Roman age Rieti claims to be the so-called Umbilicus Italiae, aka “Italy’s belly button,” the exact geographical center of the country. The supposed dead center is apparently embodied by a historical billiard table located inside a tiny bar on the main piazza, where a round-shaped monument dubbed “la caciotta” (‘the cheese form’) marks Italy’s navel. Fascinating treasures are hidden from sight. Strolling along via Roma, the main shopping street, you’d never guess that right beneath your feet runs another ancient Roman overpass from which the city grew and flourished. The viaduct was built in the third century BCE to prevent flooding on the Via Salaria. The underground city is made of arches that are incorporated into noble residences. Many dwellings in the historical center boast Roman walls and secret passageways to underground chambers. Local food specialties include Fregnacce alla reatina, a diamond-shaped pasta with a tasty sauce of softened lard, celery, onion, chopped tomatoes, salt and chili. Pizzicotti are ‘pinched’ gnocchi served with a spicy tomato, garlic and olive oil sauce. Stracciatella are eggs cooked in veal broth while spaghetti alla carrettiera are made with seasoned pecorino cheese and chili pepper.

Alla ricerca di aria fresca?

La calda estate è arrivata e, quando le temperature salgono davvero molto, non c’è nulla di meglio che andare a prendere una boccata di aria fresca nei borghi di montagna.  

Il Comune più a nord e più esteso della Lombardia, Livigno sorge ad un’altezza di 1800 metri, in Alta Valtellina mentre la frazione Trepalle si trova a 2250 metri. Il “piccolo Tibet” della provincia di Sondrio è rinomata meta estiva e invernale che permette di vivere e respirare l’autentica atmosfera di montagna. Da vedere il Mus, museo che racconta le radici contadine della zona in un tipico edificio settecentesco. 

A 1434 metri di quota, il borgo medievale di Rocca di Cambio è arroccato alle pendici del Monte Cagno e risulta il comune più alto dell’Appenino. Sorge nel bellissimo Parco Regionale abruzzese Sirente Velino, un’oasi naturalistica tutta da scoprire tra borghi, aree archeologiche, valli e straordinari scorci panoramici. 

In Molise, Capracotta sorge accanto al Giardino della Flora Appennica, un orto botanico in alta quota dove ammirare numerose specie di piante e fiori locali. Ogni prima domenica di agosto viene celebrata la Pezzata, caratteristica sagra della pecora bollita, una tradizione che risale al 1962. 

In provincia dell’Aquila, Campotosto è un affascinante comune montano ad un’altitudine di 1420 metri. Qui, nella Riserva naturale di Campotosto, si trova il bellissimo lago omonimo dove è possibile rilassarsi in canoa o praticando la pesca sportiva.
