Il Palazzo Ducale Sangiovanni è un edificio storico, ubicato nell'antica città di Alessano in provincia di Lecce. Viene erroneamente indicato come “Palazzo Gonzaga”, ma la sua costruzione risale alla fine del Quattrocento, al tempo in cui Alessano era sotto la signoria dei Del Balzo. Il Palazzo, dopo i Del Balzo, ha ospitato i De Capua, i Gonzaga, i Brayda, i Guarini, gli Ayerbo d’Aragona. Ultimo proprietario è stato Antonio Zunica, al quale era stato portato in dote dalla moglie Luisa Riario-Sforza, nipote ex-uxore di Giuseppe Maria Ayerbo d’Aragona, ultimo feudatario di Alessano, morto di colera a Napoli nel 1837. Ai primi anni del 900, il Palazzo fù comprato da Carlo Sangiovanni, Enrico Sangiovanni ne è oggi il proprietario. Oggi il palazzo e' in perfette condizioni, molto ben tenuto dai proprietari, con un bellissimo giardino. Comod come logistica in centro al paese ma nel silenzio del suo giardino protetto dalle mura, si presta alla perfetta organizzazione di ogni evento speciale e ad una ospitalità lussuosa e rilassante.

The Piera, Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero Foundation was set up in 1983 as the “Ferrero Social Initiative”; since 1991, it has been recognised by the Ministry of the Interior as a Foundation and falls into the category of socially useful non-profit organisations (ONLUS). Presided over by Maria Franca Ferrero, the Foundation embodies the idea of Pietro's son Cavaliere del Lavoro Michele Ferrero who, in 1946, worked together with his brother Giovanni to found the confectionery company that has become a multinational corporation. The “family” style of the Ferrero company is still a fundamental characteristic easily seen in its production operations. This approach includes a sense of social responsibility at both a global level and in individual employment relations, despite the considerable size that the company has reached. From the very beginning, this sense of "family" has been a widespread sentiment amongst the workers who, with their dedication and in a climate of mutual trust, have contributed to the success of the Ferrero brand. In over sixty years, several generations of people have worked for Ferrero, which can boast experience of long-term employment like few other companies. Alongside Michele Ferrero were people who contributed towards the growth of the company, generously giving material and intellectual resources and demonstrating a support and a team spirit that went well beyond formal working relationships. Michele was keen to ensure these people that when they reached pension age, they would have the opportunity to remain active, valuable and astute regarding their own lives and those of others, in an environmental and emotional framework of security and solidarity. In 1972, the Ferrero family handed out the first company long-service awards to all employees who had worked for the company for 25 consecutive years - the first 25 years of the Ferrero story. They were the first “Ferrero Seniors”, a community of individuals who now find their most useful, gratifying and fulfilling purpose in the Piera, Pietro and Giovanni Ferrero Foundation. The idea of the Foundation and the sense of its work can be found in its motto, Work Create Donate, which is also featured on the Foundation's logo. The three verbs identify three facets of individuals who are fully integrated in social life: people who work with dignity, talent and responsibility to build new situations, not as ends in themselves, but aiming to increase the overall well-being of the community. This responsible participation in communal life can be achieved through willingly and freely gifting skills, experience, time and projects. The Foundation itself is a gift through which the Ferrero Family has given shape to the respect and gratitude it holds for those who have contributed to the growth of the company and shared its values. The Foundation does not validate the past alone:it is also a moral investment in the future of individuals, based on the conviction that they need to remain active and creative in unprecedented and gratifying ways, even at an advanced age. It belies an image of withdrawal and marginalisation associated with old age that still prevails in industrialised societies today. The gift of the Foundation extends outside the Ferrero Seniors Community through its cultural efforts that run parallel and complementary to its social project.
We have to return to the ‘40s to discover the roots of this success. These were the years when Piera and Pietro, Michele’s parents, transformed a pastry shop into a factory. The Ferrero’ Family was the first Italian manufacturer after World War II to open production sites and offices abroad in the confectionary sector, turning the Company into a truly international Group. These first and decisive steps forward were thanks to the products “invented” by Pietro Ferrero and his son Michele, who was then very young. The product was Nutella made of chocolate and hazelnuts, invented because of the lack of chocolate during the war. Another key to success was the effective sales network organized by Giovanni, Pietro’s brother, who died in 1949. Following the success of the company in Italy, Michele Ferrero decided to start producing also abroad. In 1956 a large plant in Germany was inaugurated and a short time later a plant in France. It was the prelude to a rapid expansion of Ferrero in Europe, with the establishment of commercial offices and production centers all over the world.
Il castello di Salabue sorge nell'omonimo abitato, attualmente frazione del comune di Ponzano Monferrato. Nato come installazione militare e dimora dei feudatari di Salabue, è stato trasformato nel Seicento in dimora nobiliare ed è divenuto residenza di importanti famiglie ed illustri personaggi della storia e della cultura monferratese. Feudo dei marchesi di Monferrato passò in seguito ai Natta di Casale, poi ai Cozzi e ai Bezzi. Poco resta dell'originario castello di Salabue che è stato trasformato, tra la fine dell'Ottocento e l'inizio del Novecento, in residenza signorile di campagna. Il castello è arroccato in cima a una collina e incorniciato da boschi e vigneti e dalle vallate circostanti, è ora proprietà dei conti Davico di Quittengo. I dintorni sono mete interessanti per gite enogastronomiche. (1) The Salabue Castle is positioned in the homonymous inhabited area, currently part of the municipality of Ponzano Monferrato. Born as a military installation and residence of the feudal lords of Salabue, it was transformed into a noble residence in the seventeenth century and became the residence of important families and illustrious personalities of Monferrato's history and culture. Feud of the Marquises of Monferrato, it later passed to the Natta di Casale, then to the Cozzi and Bezzi families. Little remains of the original Salabue castle which was transformed between the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century into an elegant country residence. The castle is perched on top of a hill and framed by woods and vineyards and the surrounding valleys, it is now owned by the Davico di Quittengo counts. The surroundings are interesting destinations for food and wine tours. (1)

To this end, the Association intends to carry out a double-action, aimed towards the interior of the aristocratic world to re-aggregate it in common values and towards the outside, with the aim of making known the positive role of the Nobility. Fabrizio Antonelli d'Oulx is the president and actively supports many initiatives with passion and a lot of work.

Each forcola I create is like a journey. I start by studying the walnut wood trunk, as though I were in a foreign land which will slowly become friendlier. I outline the “forcola” with care respecting the grains of the wood, and then embark on the task, sweating and taking delight in the hard work. Every now and then I observe it as a traveler would when he gazes back to see how far he has come and stops for a moment to contemplate the scenery. I work slowly at times, and at others with a sense of urge, vigor and tenderness until I begin to see the curves and the lines I wanted emerging from the wood. Completing a forcola is a bit like crossing a finish line. I savor the moment as it will stay forever. Something has been created. And I must wait a little longer before embarking on another journey.
L'azienda agricola Gianfranco Boeri Vini, presente da ben tre generazioni, come agricoltori e produttori di vino, ha sede a Costigliole d'Asti, nel cuore delle verdi colline del Monferrato. Attingendo alla propria esperienza nel settore, si è specializzata nella produzione di numerosi vini di qualità. Con l'attenta cura che accompagna l'intero processo produttivo, dalla vite alla tavola del consumatore, garantiamo un prodotto buono, genuino e di qualità. L'azienda propone un'ampia gamma di vini per soddisfare le esigenze di tutta la clientela. La storia di Gianfranco Boeri Vini comincia negli ultimi anni dell’800, quando Boeris Edoardo fondò una cascina sul Bricco dei Quaglia, in frazione Bionzo di Costigliole d’Asti, il nucleo originario della loro azienda. L'azienda, all'epoca, era agricola nel senso stretto del termine: si coltivavano campi di grano, granoturco, vigneti e si manteneva una piccola stalla di bestiame. I prodotti del territorio, ottenuti con sistemi di lavorazione tradizionali, erano pochi e destinati quasi esclusivamente all'autoconsumo. Nel 1937, l'unico figlio maschio di Edoardo, Pierino Boeri (la -s del cognome fu fatta togliere per alcuni errori burocratici) sposò Rosso Orsola. Continuarono a lavorare la terra come il loro predecessore, mantenendo la natura mista dell'azienda. In questo periodo l'innovazione tecnologica si affacciò al mondo agricolo: negli anni '40 acquistarono il primo trattore, un Landini Testacalda. Negli anni '50 del Novecento, l'azienda divenne di proprietà di Boeri Edoardo, figlio di Pierino. Con lui l'azienda, pur mantenendo l'antica vocazione, divenne via via più simile a quella che conosciamo noi oggi: venne drasticamente ridotto il numero di capi di bestiame e di campi coltivati, a favore di una netta specializzazione verso la coltivazione di mele (vendute ai mercati generali di Genova) e la produzione del vino. Il vino divenne un prodotto per il commercio: le prime consegne ai clienti di Torino sono datate 1972. Negli anni '80, l'azienda passò ai figli di Edoardo ed infine, nel 1994, con Boeri Gianfranco, tutta la produzione fu convertita: i frutteti, i prati ed i campi divennero vigneti. Vennero acquistate nuove macchine e adottate nuove tecnologie per confezionare un vino genuino, rispettoso della tradizione e dell'ambiente. Nel 1999 nacque uno dei prodotti di punta dell'azienda. Fin dall'inizio ed ancora oggi, Gianfranco Boeri Vini lavorano per portare sempre sulle tavole dei loro clienti un prodotto di eccellenza, che parli della loro storia, della loro terra. La loro produzione oggi comprende gran parte dei migliori vini del Monferrato Astigiano, Barbera, Dolcetto, Grignolino, Bonarda, Moscato d'Asti, Chardonnay, Cortese e spumante. "Our wine is the reflection of our values. When you pour some of it into a glass, stop to observe the purple waterfall that slips into the shining crystal, feel the scent that emanates, raise the glass and, moving it under the light, appreciate its ruby highlights. Bring the wine to your lips and savor. The sun, the earth, the wind between the vine leaves, the bunches, the ancient tradition, the hills ... THE WINE, that since 1896 our family produces".
Ilaria Boeri becomes architect with a Master's Degree Thesis in Architecture, for the Sustainable Project at the Polytechnic of Turin, for a proposal of natural ancient paths on the layout of the medieval roads still existing on the territory of Costigliole d’Asti.

Her passion is the Langhe and its historical buildings with special sensitivity to the Unesco landscape and its natural and oenological resources.
Sul colle Gianicolo, più nota a tutti come il Fontanone, la fontana dell’acqua Paola si trova al termine dell’acquedotto attivato da Paolo V Borghese (da cui prende il nome) per fornire approvvigionamento idrico al rione Trastevere che fino ad allora aveva dovuto accontentarsi quasi soltanto dei pozzi e dell’acqua del fiume. In effetti l’acquedotto Paolo era l’originario acquedotto di Traiano ripristinato nel Rinascimento. L’acqua veniva portata dal Lago di Bracciano e nell’antichità era servita a mettere in movimento i mulini di Roma. Un braccio dell’acquedotto venne distaccato per portare acqua al Vaticano e alle fontane dei giardini e a quelle di Piazza San Pietro. La bella fontana fu costruita da Flaminio Ponzio in collaborazione con Giovanni Fontana tra il 1610 e il 1612. La facciata monumentale del Fontanone, animata da angeli, mostri e draghi, è costituita da cinque archi e sei colonne in granito, delle quali quattro provengono dalla facciata dell’antica basilica di San Pietro. Altri marmi furono presi dal tempio di Minerva nel foro di Nerva. Il suo vastissimo bacino è opera di Carlo Fontana. Il piazzale che offre una visuale meravigliosa della fontana e uno splendido scorcio su Roma non esisteva ai tempi di Paolo V, quando la fontana era sull’orlo scosceso del Gianicolo. Fu Alessandro VIII Ottoboni ad aumentare la portata dell’acquedotto creando il piazzale mediante lavori di terrazzamento. Nell’orto retrostante ebbe sede dall’epoca di Alessandro VII il “Giardino dei Semplici” od Orto Botanico che nel 1820 venne trasferito nel giardino di Palazzo Salviati ai piedi del Gianicolo per ordine di Pio VII.
Antarctica, the southernmost continent and site of the South Pole, is a virtually uninhabited, ice-covered landmass. Most cruises to the continent visit the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches toward South America. It’s known for the Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, striking, iceberg-flanked passageways, and Port Lockroy, a former British research station turned museum. The peninsula’s isolated terrain also shelters rich wildlife, including many penguins.Antarctica is a de facto condominium, governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status. Twelve countries signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959, and thirty-eight have signed it since then. The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining, prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal, supports scientific research, and protects the continent's ecozone. Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is a former royal residence in Caserta, southern Italy, constructed by the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies as their main residence as kings of Naples. It is one of the largest palaces erected in Europe during the 18th century. In 1997, the palace was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site; its nomination described it as "the swan song of the spectacular art of the Baroque, from which it adopted all the features needed to create the illusions of multidirectional space". In terms of volume, the Royal Palace of Caserta is one of the largest royal residences in the world with over 1 million m³ and covering an area of 47,000 m². The construction of the palace was begun in 1752 for Charles VII of Naples (Charles III of Spain), who worked closely with his architect, Luigi Vanvitelli. The palace has 5 floors, 1,200 rooms, including two dozen state apartments, a large library, and a theatre modelled after the Teatro San Carlo of Naples. The garden, a typical example of baroque extension of formal vistas, stretches for 120 ha, partly on hilly terrain. It is also inspired by the park of Versailles.
The city of Petra, the capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Petra the world wonder is undoubtedly Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction, and it is visited by tourists from all over the world. It is not known precisely when Petra was built, but the city began to prosper as the capital of the Nabataean Empire from the 1st century BC, which grew rich through trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices. Petra was later annexed to the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until a large earthquake in 363 AD destroyed much of the city in the 4th century AD. The earthquake combined with changes in trade routes, eventually led to the downfall of the city which was ultimately abandoned. In 1812 a Swiss explorer named Johannes Burckhardt set out to ‘rediscover’ Petra; he dressed up as an Arab and convinced his Bedouin guide to take him to the lost city, After this, Petra became increasingly known in the West as a fascinating and beautiful ancient city, and it began attracting visitors and continues to do so today. Petra is also known as the rose-red city, a name it gets from the wonderful colour of the rock from which many of the city’s structures were carved.
