It is good to finally be recognized for what we did. While he was in Sicily, mortars struck him twice in two different attacks. He is glad that the Peace Through Valour project has put a spotlight on Canadian soldiers who fought in Italy. But the year-old veteran who calls British Columbia home also has memories of enduring friendship and hope.
There was a real camaraderie there. And Italy is also the country that served as a fast track to adulthood for Bannerman who was 22 when he fought in the Italian Campaign. We would bring some flour to a mamma who would knead the dough and make homemade pasta for us. Before too long, we would end up having an aunt, older sister and god knows how many brothers. It was like a surrogate family. For immigrants to Canada there are many new experiences and customs that colour the start of their lives in a new country.
Christmas in Canada, away from the family, rituals and comfort of home back in Italy, was one of the first notable moments they experienced. Everything was new and unexpected, from the weather to traditions. He looked forward to the dinner provided by CNR on Christmas Eve, expecting a festive feast that would help celebrate the special day.
But on December 24, he was greeted with a plain meal of chicken soup. Disappointed and alone, he went to a grocery store to buy one chocolate bar and one pound of grapes to celebrate. However, on December 25, he experienced what came as a surprise to most Italians: The railway offered a big celebration meal to all workers and my grandfather came to learn a new tradition.
Most early Italian immigrants count Christmas Eve as one of their more distinct memories of the new life ahead of them.
Maria Tuccitto, originally from Sicily, immigrated to Canada in Besides it being her first arrival to Canada, it was the first time she met her husband Antonio, who she had married by proxy. Her first Christmas in Canada, spent in Toronto, she recalls as a joyous one, full of family and good food.
This included traditional foods like lolli a short homemade pasta, much like gnocchi in meat and in vegetable sauces, pizza piena a type of stuffed pizza dough pie and biscotti. It was those traditional foods that Nella Bruni craved during her first Christmas in Canada in She was left to trial and error to create a Christmas treat. Many Italians remember the traditional meatless meals on Christmas Eve. In Italy, Bruni remembers there being huge bonfires in the piazza outside the church after midnight mass, where people would socialize and sing. In Canada, she embraced new traditions: And the way the windows were decorated at the big stores downtown, like Simpsons.
At home the only thing lit up in our town was the presepio nativity scene. What made the biggest impact for her new holidays in Canada though, was her family. For the first time in nine years, her whole family was together and was able to celebrate as one. Extended family came to celebrate as well and instead of celebrations being smaller and ending after midnight mass, like back in Italy, the Canadian version of Christmas meant there was a larger family celebrating, says Trifrio and everyone stayed to talk or play cards after the meal and open small gifts.
Bruni agrees that the bringing together of family and friends made the holiday memorable but the adjustment of settling into Canada and not having enough money for gifts, particularly for those who had young children, gave new immigrants like her a lot of frustration. It took years of hard work before giving gifts became a regular part of the Italian-Canadian Christmas celebration, but a focus on tradition, religion, and family has always been constant.
The Italian-Canadian Job Just as the world took notice of the tiny island of Giglio when the Costa Concordia ran aground in January , all eyes were on the Tuscan coast again this past September as the ,ton cruise ship was slowly raised upright. The first step in what is being called the biggest salvage mission ever to be executed was a success thanks in part to the specialized technology provided by Waterloo-based robotics firm, 2G Robotics.
Gillham and his team were approached early summer of to carry out an underwater survey and assess the damaged hull that was pushed up against the rocky reef 16 kilometres off the coast of Italy when the ship partially sank on January 13, , killing 32 people. Its captain, Francesco Schettino, who left the ship ahead of some of the crew and passengers, is under trial for involuntary manslaughter and abandoning the ship. The metre long ship is in plain view from the harbor of Giglio island, home to 1, residents.
Many of them were among the first to arrive to the port after the shipwreck to offer blankets, warm clothing and shelter to the thousands of shaken passengers. The Costa Concordia, built in , has extensive damage on the starboard side and is heavily crushed near the bow. The data collection provided by 2G Robotics helped the crew best determine how to roll the ship upright in a process called parbuckling.
The ship is now resting on an artificial steel seabed the length of 1. On the day the mission began, Gillham and the 2G Robotics team were glued to the livestream footage of the salvage site watching the whole thing unfold as they received update emails and telephone calls from Palej who was on location off the Tuscan coast.
Early on the morning of September 17, the ship was resting upright. The Jews, as they are still today, had been an active Roman community for thousands of years. On October 16, , Camerino was not yet 15 years of age when his entire family was awakened by a knock at the door around 5 am.
German officers, accompanied by Italian police, presented his father with an official document stating that, because they were no longer Italians but stateless Jews, they were all to be relocated to a work camp. They had to immediately pack their bags for an eight-day journey. That day, 1, Roman Jews were rounded up for deportation to Auschwitz. They were all kept in a Roman jail for another two days until they began their journey by train to Poland, herded together in cattle cars 50 to 60 at a time, with no heat or room to sit.
Upon their arrival to Auschwitz, the selection process was the last time Camerino saw his mother and sister. His uncle Renato, an invalid, was sent immediately to the gas chamber. They soon after tattooed him with his camp number: Living and working conditions were harsh and most often cruel. Camerino lived in an environment where every slip-up could have resulted in the loss of his life. The camp inmates were now nameless souls and only addressed by their tattooed number and guarded by brutal guards with vicious dogs.
Different work duties separated Camerino from his brother Luciano and father. Because they were assigned different huts, Camerino would often sneak out at night to visit his brother to exchange news or scraps of food. On one of these nights in , he found out his father Italo had died earlier that day. While out on a work detail, Italo was severely beaten by a German guard for not being able to get up fast enough from a fall he took.
After two years of living under these conditions, Camerino and his brother Luciano were finally liberated in Of the 1, deported from Rome on that day in October , only 16 came back; Camerino and his brother were two of them. Following the war, he lived with relatives until his life started to get back to some kind of normalcy. In , he married his wife Silvana Pontecorvo and in he had a son and named him Italo after his father. Camerino then decided to emigrate for economic reasons and also out of the anger he still felt towards Italy because of his experiences.
In , he moved to Canada. He built a life in Canada and in his family grew with the arrival of his daughter Julia, who he named after his mother. Camerino worked for the Pascal Hardware chain and then opened his own retail shop in Park Extension, which he operated until. His brother had died in helping rescuers during the Florence flood of the Arno River. Chills shot down his spine when he saw that the apples trees from which he had stolen fruit were still standing. For that simple act, he was sent to work in the coal mines for hours on end, bent over, not being able to stand in four-foot shafts.
With this year marking the 70th anniversary of the deportation, the RomanJewish community sought to include Camerino in its many commemorative events. Of the original 16 that survived the deportation, only two are left. Coincidentally, while he was in Rome, Erich Priebke died while awaiting prosecution. Priebke was a German officer who took part in the Ardeatine Caves massacre of in which Italian civilians were murdered as a reprisal for partisans killing 33 German soldiers. Until his dying days at years of age, he denied responsibility for the deaths and denied the Holocaust ever happened.
To let that happen would have been an insult to the memory of those innocent souls he had a hand in murdering. They each wanted to personally hear about his experiences in Auschwitz for themselves, and they both asked if there was anything they could do for him. His response to each was the same: Through this simple request, we can only hope the lessons that Enzo Camerino and countless others who suffered through wartime atrocities recount, will serve that exact purpose.
Storia di Enzo Camerino, sopravvissuto all'Olocausto. Mentre Enzo Camerino trascorreva la sua giovinezza in Italia, nel Paese vigevano leggi razziali contro gli Ebrei simili a quelle presenti in Germania, ma queste erano alquanto impopolari per la maggior parte degli italiani.
Le cose volsero al peggio dopo la caduta del governo di Mussolini e l'ingresso dei nazisti.

The Foundation, together with other community organizations, is now working diligently to further promote and preserve Italian culture, language and identity within our community. Ogni settimana ne vedo quasi una decina. She is reluctant to embrace the world of web 2.
Il 16 ottobre del , Enzo Camerino non aveva ancora 15 anni quando tutta la sua famiglia venne svegliata da forti colpi alla porta intorno alle 5 della mattina. Rimasero tutti in una prigione romana per altri due giorni per poi iniziare il loro viaggio in treno verso la Polonia, ammassati in carri bestiame, persone alla volta, al freddo e senza nessuno spazio per sedersi. Dopo il loro arrivo ad Auschwitz, durante la selezione, Camerino vide per l'ultima volta sua madre e sua sorella. Gli uomini vennero ulteriormente divisi tra coloro che potevano lavorare e quelli che non erano in grado di farlo.
Suo zio Renato, disabile, fu subito mandato alla camera a gas. Agli altri venne subito impresso il marchio del numero identificativo nel campo di concentramento. I suo era Le condizioni di vita e di lavoro erano molto dure e spesso crudeli. Camerino visse in un ambiente in cui ogni passo falso poteva significare perdere la vita.
I detenuti del campo erano ormai anime senza nome, sorvegliati da uomini brutali accompagnati da cani feroci, che si rivolgevano a loro chiamandoli con il numero tatuato sul corpo. Dopo due anni di vita trascorsa in queste condizioni, Camerino e suo fratello Luciano furono finalmente liberati nel Sono stati gli unici della famiglia abbastanza forti da sopravvivere.
Nel , in occasione della prima visita ad Auschwitz dopo la sua liberazione avvenuta nel , nella memoria di Camerino riaffiorarono subito ricordi che sembravano sepolti. Semplicemente per questo era stato mandato a lavorare nelle miniere, chino per ore e ore. Dei 16 sopravvissuti alla deportazione, solo due sono ancora in vita. Il caso ha voluto che proprio mentre Camerino si trovava a Roma, Erich Priebke sia morto, mentre era in attesa di giudizio; Priebke era l'ufficiale tedesco che prese parte al massacro delle Fosse Ardeatine nel Egli aveva collaborato all'assassinio di civili italiani, per rappresaglia contro i partigiani che avevano ucciso 33 soldati tedeschi.
Consentire che questo avvenisse avrebbe rappresentato un insulto per le anime di quegli innocenti al cui massacro quell'uomo aveva preso parte. Entrambi hanno voluto ascoltare personalmente il racconto delle sue esperienze ad Auschwitz, e gli hanno chiesto se c'era qualcosa che potevano fare per lui. At only 22, Justin Scaini has made it his mission to mobilize youth in helping transform the landscape of mental health in Canada. The Jack Project, founded by the late Windeler's father, was looking for an actor for a mental health training video to be used by the Mental Health Commission of Canada.
To this day, Scaini says, he doesn't know what pushed him to audition. And I knew I had to do something to change that. Last March, Scaini took the lead in organizing the first-ever student mental health innovation summit in Canada called Unleash the Noise. But there was really no youth ownership of this issue. They showed extreme bravery and commitment to each other.

From the great American houses of Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger to the high street Vivienne Westwood and Dior, the girls were unabashedly copying the boys in terms of outerwear, office wear and most surprisingly with more conservative evening wear in the form of pantsuits and blouse-skirt ensembles. Shared staples for the season include crossbody bags, suede and sheepskin coats, oversized sweaters and dramatic lapels. Colour-wise, the unisex winter palette consists of a rich wine Bordeaux — best worn in a leather material for a wow factor on trenches, skirts, suits and accessories; charcoal — for an androgynous Londoner look that is always win-win this time of year; and caramel — always a refined choice especially when worn consistently from head to toe with a cashmere-wool blend coat.
The patterns for the season are traditionally male, from herringbone to Prince of Wales check, flannel and houndstooth for a Scottish appeal that can dress up a pair of jeans or a crisp white shirt. Your source of style inspiration this season comes from an equestrian setting with page boy caps, thick blazers, knee-high or ankle boots and a belt and bag to tie it all together.
Keep this mood in the back of your mind when surveying your wardrobe on a bleak Monday morning.
The challenge is clear: A city at the heart of the Alps It is hard not to be impressed by a town like Bolzano. Located in the heart of the Italian Alps, this city, also known as Bozen, is home to some , inhabitants who enjoy fresh mountain air, landscapes of incomparable beauty, and an engaging Austro-Hungarian heritage, which stands out as a pleasant diversion from the rest of the country.
Of the two newspapers published in Bolzano, one is written in Italian, the other in German. Interestingly, a sister language to the old Latin of Roman times, called Ladin, is still spoken in the area, particularly around Val Gardena. The staple bread, which is ubiquitous throughout Bolzano, is made with crunchy whole grains in a style reminiscent of Viennese bread.
When it comes to drinks, the locals have a slight preference for beer over wine. Mountainous country Not far from Bolzano are the Dolomite Mountains — a large outcrop of limestone, featuring karst lithology that climbers are particularly fond of. The mountain range is home to extreme peaks, including eighteen that reach altitudes of over metres. The region is a playground for hikers. During high season, cozy huts welcome them with food, shelter and, of course, wine.
Be sure to have a camera on hand to capture the sublime landscapes, which change dramatically from one side of the mountain to the other. The local tourism offices Azienda di Soggiorno e Turismo , in conjunction with the specialized mountain guides at Arc Alpin, offer an interesting array of excursions. Preserved in ice for over years, this man is thought to have been a shepherd who was around 45 years old when he died of hypothermia after suffering a shoulder injury.
His body, tanned by the freezing cold, has been on display since in an enclosure replicating glacial conditions temperature and humidity. Found almost intact, along with clothing and tools, this man from the past has provided valuable insight into the lifestyle and techniques of the people who roamed the area long ago. Its Austrian-style palaces, built during the reign of Napoleon, offer a glorious foreground to the snowy mountain tops behind them.

Soaring above beautiful valleys with meandering streams, vineyards and picturesque church spires may not quite be nirvana, but it certainly seems close. Bolzano, along with Innsbruck, is seat to the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention established for the protection and conservation of the Alpine territory.
With about one hundred thousand inhabitants, it is a city with a thousand faces. There is also the jewel in the crown of the city: A blend of different cultures and languages This is a place where Germans and Italians live together, each with their distinct culture and language, although the cohabitation is not always easy. As a result of this majority, jobs in some sectors are dominated by German native-speakers. The autonomy of South Tyrol is, in fact, based on the principle of linguistic separation: Una convivenza non sempre facile.
Sono i giovani italiani, invece, a voler imparare la lingua tedesca e a volerla far apprendere ai propri figli: Compared to the past, tensions between the two linguistic communities have lessened. Today, Trento and Bolzano are two autonomous provinces, the only ones in Italy, and the disputes of the fifties and sixties have become less passionate. Gateway to the Dolomites In addition to being a bilingual city a third linguistic group, largely a minority, is Ladin , Bolzano is a city of art and culture, insofar as it is now in the running for the title of European Capital of Culture Bolzano also boasts the Museum for Modern and Contemporary art, the Mercantile Museum, the Civic Museum, the Nativity scene Museum in a convent, and the Messner Mountain Museum, a project designed by South Tyrol mountaineer Reinhold Messner and which consists of five locations in the region of the Dolomites.
One of them is the museum of Firmian Castle, just outside the city of Bolzano, which, through a path of towers, halls, stairways and courtyards surrounded by the magnificent view of the Tyrolean Alps, showcases natural artefacts aimed at raising awareness of the bond between man and nature, particularly in mountaineering.
Moreover, the cycling paths going through and around the city provide a convenient, easy and green road network. Besides nature, sports, amazing views, museums and castles, Bolzano also offers entertainment, good food and shopping. Oggi Trento e Bolzano sono due province autonome, le uniche in Italia, e i contrasti degli Anni Cinquanta e Sessanta sono diventati meno accesi. Because it is considered to be the lowest crossing point in the central Alpine mountain range, travelers can cross the Alps at this point without having to change trains.
It is also a strategic point for the military as well as for commercial transport. While the Brenner Pass is one of the lowest routes running across the Alps from Austria in Italy, its 1,metre altitude calls for at least three connected locomotives to pull the weight of a freight train up and down its slopes. From Roman route to railway Long before its train days, travelers saddled up their horses to make their way over the Alps via this route which experienced frequent use, especially by ancient populations searching to migrate to new places.
The plans for a railroad were developed in the 19th century by German architect and engineer Carl von Etzel. Trains began operating on the Brenner Pass in , making it one of the principal passes through the Alps. In its beginning, the Brenner railroad served as a means of internal communication for the Habsburg Empire.
This altered when Brenner became a part of Italy with the shifting of the international border between Austria and Italy. What lies along the course of Brenner Pass is just as attractive as its logistic convenience and it comes in the form of fantastic mountain views containing miles and miles of majestic trees, picturesque cottages and high Alpine pastures with grazing cattle in the summer months. The modern day route along the Eastern Alps begins in Innsbruck, Austria, and then crosses through the Austrian towns of Matrei and Steinach before arriving in Italy.
Once in Italy, the train locomotives have to be switched as Austrian trains operate on an alternate current, while Italy uses a direct current. Once switched over, the train continues on to Colle Isarco, Vipiteno, Foretezza, Ponte Gardena and then Bolzano before terminating its course in Salorno. All of the stations, tunnels and viaducts which the train passes through still have German names.
It enjoys idyllic surroundings amidst Lagrein grapevines and offers breathtaking views over the surrounding area. It has been renovated throughout the centuries and today houses a large collection of frescoes that depict a vast array of scenes from court life to hunting and chivalric competitions as well as literary illustrations, such as that of Tristan and Isolde and the adventures of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Cultural events and exhibitions take place regularly at the castle which also houses a restaurant that gives visitors the unique opportunity to dine in a Medieval setting,. Messner Mountain Museum Firmian Housed within Sigmundskron Castle, near the town of Bozen, the Messner Mountain Museum Firmian is one of four branches founded by local celebrity Reinhold Messner, a climber, writer, photographer and a Member of the European Parliament from to , who was born in the region in and later went on to achieve numerous feats in mountaineering, chiefly being the first to reach the top of Mount Everest without oxygen support.
Zelten of Bolzano A sweet bread filled with dried and candied fruit, nuts and other ingredients. It is the Christmas cake par excellence and can be found in any patisserie in December. Beautiful scenery aside, warm and hearty country cooking is interwoven with specialties of the Mediterranean gastronomic tradition. Prepared with dough flavoured with lemon peel, they are rolled in granulated sugar and are filled with custard. Served as a hearty breakfast or as a tasty snack!
They are only found in the north-east of Italy Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli, and part of Veneto , where they are served as a first or main course. They are typically enjoyed with a little olive oil and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and parsley or chives. They are also known to be served with a main dish such as roast lamb.
It's a specialty from Alto Adige and is a bread mostly made with rye flour and spices, such as fennel seeds, caraway, and bird clover. Every Saturday in May and October the Tourist Office offers guided tours to the Santa Maddalena and Lagrein wine-growing valleys with a visit to a winery in Bolzano, which includes wine-tasting.
Speck is the German word for bacon, but the speck of Alto Adige is not bacon at all. Made from pork leg, not pork belly, it is brined with herbs and garlic and then cold smoked and aged, resulting in a texture reminiscent of Italian prosciutto and a flavour that resembles pancetta. Speck is eaten thinly sliced as an antipasto with figs or melon, and is also used in cooking to flavour everything from pasta sauces to pizza and dumplings. Gulasch di selvaggina Cubes of venison meat are browned with onions and garlic and combined with Worcestershire sauce, oregano and covered with water.
This is a typical hearty second dish of the region. It's the town's oldest restaurant, dating back years, and is housed in one of Bolzano's typically tall and narrow Tyrolean-style buildings. We stopped to enjoy a beer with brezen from the rack on the bar. The huge woven pretzels are soft and light and pair perfectly with a glass of the house dunkel beer, a darkish, spicy brew.
It dates back to the 12th century and has been transformed with contemporary style. It has a large sun terrace where you and your family can enjoy local cuisine while taking in the breathtaking surroundings! The beautifully decorated Piazza Walther is the festive meeting place where family and friends gather to share in Yuletide joy. Here the romance and magic of a traditional Christmas is alive and well. Shimmering lamps and candlelight bathe the city in a magical glow as people celebrate the traditions of a bygone era while indulging their sweet tooth with artfully decorated seasonal pastries that seem to have jumped off the pages of a medieval cookbook.
Live Christmas concerts are also held throughout the historic centre in churches and other venues, along with beautifully displayed nativity scenes. There are also horse-drawn carriage rides as well as numerous activities and exhibitions. The nearby volcanic Islands of Ischia or Capri are perfect for a day trip. Ischia, the Green Island, is renowned for its thermal baths and beautiful beaches, while Capri will enchant you with its striking natural beauty and authentic gastronomy. The name derives from the sunlight's refraction into the cave that creates a blue reflection in the water.
The way into the cave is through a small hole about a meter and a half in diameter. Once you get there by motorboat from the port, you will have to transfer to a small wooden row boat and lie on your back to get in. Once inside, you'll be able to sit upright and enjoy the spectacular sight; you can even take a swim in the brilliant blue water. There are many tales about this cake's origins, one being a baker who on no sleep, messed up the recipe and mistook flour for cocoa powder. Finally, an excursion down the Amalfi coast is also highly recommended.
Buses leave from Sorrento on a daily basis and the view on your way is just breathtaking. Time permitting you can also set off to nearby Ravello and Positano, or to Pompeii, where remains of a city destroyed and covered by a volcanic eruption in 79 AC are still visible today. Sicily From the Sorrentine Peninsula, make the trek south to Sicily, where your first stop should be Taormina, a small town on the east coast of Sicily, in the Province of Messina.
This beautiful town blends its Roman and Greek past with a modern fusion of boutiques and restaurants. A must-see is Mount Etna, the tallest volcano in Europe and still active. A great way to visit this force of nature is with a tour guide taking you 1, metres above sea level to enjoy breathtaking views at Rifugio Sapienza. About an hour down the east coast, discover the once powerful Greek city of Siracusa. The theatre once held 15, spectators and was the site for many famous Greek plays and speeches.
Another site to see is the Roman Amphitheatre, one of the largest arenas of its kind, dating back to the 3rd century AD. This large, circular, open-aired venue was used for events such as gladiator combats, animal slayings, and executions. The outside is beautiful enough, but gives no indication to what's inside: Finally, you cannot talk about Sicily without mentioning its cuisine.
Besides an abundance of fresh fish, one of the most popular Sicilian dishes is panella, a popular finger food made with ceci chickpeas. Arancine rice balls are another staple of Sicilian cuisine.

From Sibari a number of important archaeological sites can be visited, such as Parco del Cavallo, Casabianca and Strombi. Just south of Sibari is the historic Byzantine town of Rossano. The 11th-century church of San Marco is a mystical masterpiece, one of the great Byzantine monuments in southern Italy.
Another fascinating church is the Cathedral of Rossano, the origins of which date back to well before Rossano is best known for its Codex Purpureus Rossanensis, a page illuminated 6th-century manuscript representing the Gospels of St. Its name derives from the purple parchment on which it is written. Before leaving Rossano, visitors should be sure to taste some of the town's famous licorice.
Cosenza is the largest city in Calabria. It is home to a distinguished university and many fine aristocratic buildings. The most romantic approach to Cosenza is from the south, beneath the 12th-century Norman castle set high on a hilltop, then on into the Old Town centered around Piazza XV Marzo.
Near a Madonna by Luca Giordano is the tomb of Isabel of Aragon, who died after a fall from her horse on the return voyage from the Eighth Crusade. While in town, it is worth spending a few moments in the serene cloisters of San Domenico, and at the 13th-century San Francesco d'Assisi church. Heading eastward, La Sila is unlike any other spot in southern Italy. Many think of Il Mezzogiorno anywhere south of Naples as a sunburned rocky wilderness. However, with its snow-capped mountains, pristine reservoirs, and lively streams and waterfalls, La Sila is actually more reminiscent of British Columbia.
Today, it is considered one of Europe's most densely wooded areas, and the most famous woods are the Bosco di Fallistro, just outside of Camigliatello. Here one can admire the giganti della Sila, trees which are over years old, six feet across and feet tall. Camigliatello, a classical alpine village, is the best base for exploring La Sila.
In summer, there are several opportunities for hiking; in winter, this is one of Italy's best cross-country skiing areas. Heading west to the stunning Tyrrhenian shores of Calabria is the idyllic beach resort of Tropea. A favourite holiday destination on the Costa degli Dei Coast of the Gods , Tropea is renowned for its beaches and little coves lapped by a crystal clear sea, as well as its delicious red onions.
The town stands in a magical position on the promontory between the bays of Gioia Tauro and Sant'Eufemia. Its historic center has a number of noteworthy patrician town houses and impressive monumental edifices such as Palazzo Toraldo, and the 12th century Norman cathedral.
The Sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Isola, an historic pilgrim destination built on a tiny peninsula at the foot of the town, has become the symbol of Tropea. L e aving t he Costa degli D ei and he ading southwards to the Costa Viola Violet Coast where the colour of the sea at sunset really does turn purple, sits the beautiful seaside town of Scilla. The town of Scilla is comprised of two centers: Marina Grande with its long beach and modern aspect, and Rione Chianalea, a characteristic fishing village complete with pretty little cottages built right on the water's edge.
Dividing old and new Scilla is the town's Ruffo Castle. It is the most beautiful fortress in all of Calabria, its ramparts offering a great vantage point for La Chianalea. A pristine natural landscape, panoramic seaside and an abundance of historic sights are just a few factors behind what makes the Gargano Foggia in Puglia the perfect place for a spring visit.
Come springtime, certain regions shine more than others thanks to their natural assets. One of the loveliest spring seasons can be found in Puglia, a region too often absent from Italy guidebooks that focus touristic energies on must-sees like Rome, Venice and Florence. Of course these major cities warrant a visit, but true, repeat offender italophiles should make it a point to explore new areas, most especially to the south where the climate is warmer, prices are more affordable and the sights are breathtaking.
The province of Foggia makes up the spur of the Italian boot form, jutting out — mid-calf — east into the Adriatic Sea. This geographic position means that Foggia enjoys a degree seaside, while inland, it boasts vast green spaces, nature reserves and historic old towns, each with their own distinct charm. The heart of Gargano is without a doubt Foresta Umbra, a woodland area brimming with flora and fauna on the promontory part of the park. Home to many different animals, such as boars, deer, woodpeckers, wolves and wildcats, the forest is divided into four sections. Zone A is exclusively home to wild life and off limits to the public, Zone B is the most uncontaminated part of the park accessible to the public — but you have to keep the noise level down — Zones C and D are accessible by car and make up more of the surrounding inhabited areas.
If you decide to make Foresta Umbra a part of your visit, be sure to find the Cerro di Vico, a year-old tree which was planted by a Franciscan friar. A big hole can still be seen on the side of the tree from when a storm hit over 70 years ago, causing one of the large branches to break off. It stretches inland out to the Adriatic Sea, forming a promontory the spur on the boot. The park was properly established.

His shirt is colourful or patterned, obviously creaseless, tie: If we could transport that everyday bourgeois Italian style to the men of our fair Canadian cities, then we may just have it all.
Fashion has become universal, but demanding markets still look to Italy for trends, especially when it comes to menswear. The abito su misura, made to measure suit is arguably the most valuable Italian fashion export of the past generation. Brands like Ermenegildo Zegna, Brioni and Canali still pride themselves on offering these personalized services that examine the posture and physical attributes of gentleman clients in order to craft his ensemble. Neapolitan tie masters E. Marinella became a phenomenon in Japan based solely on a word of mouth reputation.
This spring season, embrace that effortless Italian style with bold and vibrant colours. Choose lightweight suit jackets in linen or cotton and pair them with denim or chinos. Whether sandals, brogues, lace ups or slip on loafers, remember no socks and woven ties are a great bet this season in the place of classic silk ones. From flapper girls to disco queens, nostalgia for past eras is dominating the fashion industry.
Collection after collection, major designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs blatantly refer to a decade or figure of the past century as a source of inspiration. Gucci also embraces the Roaring Twenties with a bold collection of Art Deco designs done completely in white, black, emerald and gold. Their fashion show was a dream come to life with models donning beehive hairdos and tiaras while sitting on a moving white carousel.
Prada embraced the muscle cars and Letterman jackets of the Fifties by printing caricature cars and girls all over its readyto-wear line as well as adding 3D flames to the backs of high heeled shoes and sunglass frames. The Swinging Sixties are alive and well at Burberry, while Versace brought back Seventies disco glam with its studded collection of party girl outfits. Racy, colourful, and provocative styles have become the calling card designs of their joint label DSquared2. Born in Toronto - distant from the high fashion frenzy of Milan - the Caten brothers developed a passion for fashion design at an early age, which later led them to study fashion design at the prestigious Parsons School in New York City.
Though they achieved success in Canada, it was ultimately the allure of Italy that beckoned the brothers to make the move to Milan and try their hand at working for an Italian casa di moda fashion house. And where better to begin than at Versace, a familyoriented brand with a decidedly bold and brass attitude. By the late nineties, the identical twins had moved over to creative posts at Italian street wear brand Diesel who would ultimately become the official backer for the brothers when they launched DSquared2 in It wou ld, howe ver, b e t heir cow b oy inspired commission in for the Material Girl herself that solidified their status as an international fashion house.
In the realm of sportswear, the brothers were responsible for designing the official uniform for Juventus soccer club, a collaboration that would last four years. Not bad for a couple of boys from Willowdale, Ontario.

Soul-Pop Nina Zilli real name: Singer, songwriter, actor, director, comedian, TV host, no one can ever predict what his next move will be. After postponing the release of new material for five years, this album introduces a new and reinvented Irene in an exciting new chapter of her career.
Here she works alongside Tuscan poet Alfredo Vestrini and acts as co-writer and co-artistic director on most of the songs. One of her strongest statements is in the title track: My family believes my mother was conceived by a virgin. The logic being that my grandparents were unmarried when it happened. A harmless myth - until my life started to veer off script and the whole herd of virgin worshipers turned on me.
The idea that everyone actually thought that my grandmother was a virgin when she conceived my mother was always something I wanted to use. What is the connection between your life and the play? In our culture, a lot of families think this way: They want you to be a virgin forever.
By writing the play, I was beginning to write my own story The only memory I have of her is telling me stories. I always felt that if I told stories, she would hear me somehow. And my mother, of course My earliest memory was when I was 3 or 4 before my grandmother passed away. I would come up with stories and tell them to anyone who would listen.
I would get up on the kitchen table and recite poems An injured collar bone was the result one time. Everything I knew about myself and my identity was filtered through stories. When I stop and think about it, I feel so overwhelmed. I remember my professors asking me what my biggest fear was: I thought that no one would care. I think that it could happen. What did you learn from writing and performing this play?

This awareness led him in the choice of his literary models and career. These novels do not follow a chronological narration nor do they logically present a plot. Consolo uses language metaphorically and historical events are presented from several viewpoints and are drawn from archival documents, epistolary accounts, chronicles and critical commentaries. An act of justice will be accomplished only when the prosecutor Giovanni Interdonato, who has a striking resemblance.
He understands how unjust a society is, where only the dominant class possesses the instruments of power, the right to speak, to write and to legislate. Just before he died in January at age 78, he was tempted to go back for good to his native island. Vincenzo Consolo can be considered with Elio Vittorini and Leonardo Sciascia as one of the most significant contemporary Sicilian writers. Reading his novels is not an easy task because of the complexity of the language and the experimental style he uses, but his search for justice and constant fight against the pervading presence of the mafia put him in the category of politically engaged intellectuals who were never willing to compromise with power.
Aside from the obvious material signs, years ago in Italy, people also made the distinction between classes by attributing specific titles to respected individuals. Priests, people from noble descent or individuals who were highly regarded were given this title. Families or individuals were given a unique nickname that identified them as much as their family names. For the most part, the nicknames were attributed generations ago and were chosen depending on either a physical trait common in a family, a job that someone exerted or an anecdote.
Each of these adjectives tells us a different story tied to the rural traditions of Southern Italy that people carry with them to this day, even after emigrating from Italy. Hundreds of examples of such nicknames are found throughout Calabria, Basilicata, Puglia Salento and Sicily. Some of them were well thought of, some. You can definitely learn some interesting facts about people based on these nicknames! Here are a few examples: Ciorno is also a common last name in the town of Rossano in the province of Cosenza.
Sono una diaspora simile e diversa. Essi parlano un misto di rom e di rumeno. I Rom italiani, invece, sono cattolici ed hanno cognomi italiani Spinelli, Cavallo, Orfei, ecc. Se i primi hanno una dieta alimentare tipicamente rumena basti pensare alle foglie di verza ripiene di carne macinata e salsa , i Rom italiani si nutrono come gli italiani pizza, pasta, ecc. Spesso incompresi, a volte invidiati, gli zingari e il loro stile di vita boemo suscitano da sempre sentimenti contrastanti, spesso ostili.
Come promuovere l'integrazione delle nuove generazioni gitane dell'Est europeo nel Bel Paese? I primi Rom sono arrivati in Italia nel Sono rimasti per secoli allevatori di cavalli, artigiani, arrotini, circensi come la nota famiglia Orfei , giostrai. Basti pensare al flamenco in Spagna o alla musica rom rumena e alla rom balcanica. La maggioranza sono Rom italiani, tali da generazioni, addirittura da secoli. Dopo il , con la crisi del socialismo reale, sono arrivati in Italia migliaia di Rom dalla Romania e dalla ex Jugoslavia.
In altri casi, lavorano in nero in fabbriche e cantieri in condizioni di vero sfruttamento. Nel rispondere va tenuto in conto che molti di loro sono cittadini italiani da secoli e generazioni, ed i nuovi arrivati lo stanno diventando. I Rom risolvono i loro problemi in assemblee dette Kris o nominando al proprio interno dei giudici parenti stretti, anziani, persone rispettate.

What is the interest rate on a hybrid mortgage? Each portion of your loan has its own interest rate fixed, variable or reset yearly.
An average rate is calculated for the full amount of the loan, corresponding to a weighted average of the interest rates. The average rate may sometimes fluctuate, depending on types of loans and terms. Why a hybrid mortgage? We often forget that buying a house is often the most important investment you'll make in your lifetime and just as important as retirement savings. Just like savings, it's important to diversify the products, in this instance to: Not all borrowers have identical financial situations.
Some borrowers primarily want to save on interest and are ready to opt for variable rates. Others, first and foremost want stability, so they choose a fixed rate. A person who wants stable rates and payments Closed, fixed-rate mortgage loans are very popular with this kind of borrower, especially people who are buying their first home and those who want a fixed interest rate and stable payments. With this loan, it is easier to create a no-surprise budget. Also available is the open fixed-rate mortgage loan, which is perfect for those who will be putting their property up for sale in the near future, or who are waiting for substantial funds to come in.
Since the loan is open, there will be no penalty if the loan is reimbursed prior to maturity. However, its interest rate is usually higher than the fixed rate for the same term. A person who wants the lowest interest rates These people choose a variable rate mortgage loan because they are not very sensitive to changes in interest rates and payments. It is also the loan preferred by seasoned buyers and people with more financial resources.
Other advantages and complementary services In addition to hybrid mortgages, Desjardins allows you to protect your investment and insure your home to meet your specific needs and situation. Made-to-measure protection for your home Choose all-risk insurance, then tailor your coverage to your specific needs and situation.
A reduced variable-rate mortgage loan offers the best interest rate and comes with a pre-established rate rebate over a 5-year term. This loan can be converted to a fixed-rate loan at any time, without penalty, for the remainder of the term. A person who wants to have stable payments and take advantage of low rates People who match this profile want to benefit from both short-term and long-term advantages.
They are usually tolerant of rate fluctuations. This loan allows you to take advantage of a very beneficial fixed rate, minus a guaranteed annual rebate, all over a 5-year term. Plus, at any time you can convert the balance of your Versatile Line of Credit - in whole or in part - into a mortgage or a personal loan so you can benefit from rate and payment stability.
This product is advantageous for financing sizeable projects like renovating, buying a cottage, investing, etc. In conclusion, it is important to take the time you need to determine your borrowing profile with an advisor, so that you choose the mortgage loan that is right for you. The profile should be reviewed from time to time to take any changes in needs into account, or if any significant life events occur, like becoming a parent or changing jobs.

This picture was taken at Christmas, the year before she passed away. She had a smile that could light up a room, and a laugh you could hear from miles away! Her humour and silliness was infectious! My sister Celia and I had many good times and many great laughs with her.
My mother passed away when I was only 23 years old she was She was not only the greatest mother a girl could ask for, but she was also my best friend. I am now 30 years old, married, and I am blessed with a beautiful one year old daughter, Sofia Anna. If I had one more day with my mother, I would tell her all about my wonderful wedding, my fantastic husband, and of course introduce her to her sweet, amazing granddaughter.
I would give anything to see her smile and to hear her laugh one more time. But most importantly, if I had one more day with my mother, I would tell her how much I love her and miss her; I would thank her for making me the strong woman I am today and for showing me how to be the best mom to my little girl.
