Places to see in ( Tivoli - Italy )
Tivoli is situated on the Aniene river to the east of Rome, in the Monti Tiburtini hills where the climate is fresher than Rome's. For this reason, the area was popular from ancient times onwards with Rome's moneyed classes, who built summer retreats in the area. As the town was on a major trading route from Rome to the Abruzzi, Tivoli has always been an important settlement. Modern Tivoli has around 50,000 inhabitants, and spreads out far beyond the crumblingly picturesque historical centre. In the suburb of Bagni di Tivoli, on the plains below the town centre, it is still possible to bathe in natural thermal springs. The fourth century BC town wall is still visible, as are temples from the second century BC.
There is plenty to occupy the visitor in Tivoli for a day, even if they miss out one of the two famous villas. Travellers keen to see all the sights of the area should note that the Villa Adriana is actually a bus ride outside town; and they may find their day stretched to an uncomfortable length. Some visitors choose to stay in Tivoli, away from the bustle of Rome; if you are very keen on spending a long time at the monuments, or planning to travel onwards through Italy this may be an option worth considering.
The Renaissance Villa d'Este was built in the 1550s for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este, the son of Lucretia Borgia. Built over a Benedictine convent, the palace was intended for entertaining and contains lavishly frescoed reception rooms. The main attraction for visitors, however, is the breathtaking garden. Designed to impress the Cardinal's guests, the Villa d'Este's gardens are composed almost exclusively of water features. Fountains of every description dazzle the onlooker, from the grand 'Fountain of the Dragons' and 'Hundred Fountains', to a miniature watery reproduction of Rome. The centrepiece, the gigantic Water Organ Fountain, cascades down a huge drop into quiet, shady pools.
For those with an interest in antiquities, the Villa Adriana is worth a day to itself. The Emperor Hadrian conceived a countryside dwelling here that would by normal standards be considered a town. A gigantic complex with underground service passages big enough for vehicles (tantalising glimpses are still visible), the Villa incorporates lakes, fountains, libraries, baths, temples and gardens. The area covered is staggering, and highly confusing even when armed with a map; it's easy to imagine the emperor himself asking for directions.
Villa Gregoriana is an impressive park set in a gorge with a 100m waterfall. The site has recently reopened to the public after restoration by the FAI (Italy's equivalent of the English National Trust, with free entry to NT members). It's a pleasant and shady place to ramble. Views over the gorge can be enjoyed from the Ponte Gregoriano.
Temple of Vesta and Temple of the Sybil - the characteristic round Temple of Vesta occupies a panoramic position above the valley of the Villa Gregoriana, about ten minutes' walk from the Villa d'Este. Ponte Gregoriano - there was a devastating flood in the 1800s; afterwards the river was diverted and this bridge was built. Tivoli Tourist Information Office is in Piazza Garibaldi close to the main bus stop and the Villa d'Este. Even if it's closed, you may be able to pick up maps and information.

VAL D'ORCIA in Primavera - Spring in Tuscany - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI ❀
Il paesaggio della Vald' Orcia, caratterizzato da un susseguirsi di rilievi collinari, è segnato dal tracciato medievale della via Cassia (che intorno al VIII) secolo si sposta tra Firenze e Bolsena da 20 a 35 chilometri più a occidente dell' originale tracciato romano): un tracciato che trova lungo il percorso i centri principali di San Quirico, Castiglione, Radicofani, e sul diverticolo per la Valdichiana, Pienza e Montepulciano.
Grazie alla presenza della grande via che collegava Roma al nord d' Italia e ai paesi d' Oltralpe - e che perciò fu detta anche Francigena - il sistema insediativo della valle si incrementò decisamente intorno al X-XI secolo, epoca in cui l' affermarsi della feudalità portò alla organizzazione di un sistema di castelli e fortilizi.
Percorsa già nel 1093 da Sigeric, arcivescovo di Canterbury, il suo massicciato affiora ancora dal suolo e ci rende ragione del perché di tante architetture oggi apparentemente sparse a caso sulle colline: pensiamo al complesso sistema delle pievi e dei castelli, ai borghi un tempo fulgidi e oggi ridotti a sparute frazioni.
A Siena del resto (la Sena etrusca, la Saena Julia romana, la Siena longobarda) i luoghi della storia si intrecciano lungo un percorso di tre millenni.
Il frequente transito di uomini e di merci lungo l' arteria viaria, ha fatto sì che alcuni dei centri abitati assumessero un particolare peso all' interviabilità per la Valdichiana.
Appare quindi evidente l' interesse al controllo di questa valle da parte della Repubblica di Siena. L' espansione senese in Valdichiana può dirsi conclusa nel XV secolo, e l' epoca coincide con una diversa sistemazione della viabilità e dei centri urbani.
La Repubblica si impegnò infatti a realizzare il ponte sull' Orcia, tra Bagno Vignoni e Rocca d' Orcia; rese definitivo lo spostamento del tracciato della via romana dalla valle del Paglia - ove si snodava in origine - in direzione di Radicofani, che con la sua Rocca avrebbe meglio garantito il controllo; provvide di nuove fortificazioni tutti i centri della valle. Dopo la metà del Cinquecento, entrata nell' orbita fiorentina insieme ai domini senesi, la Valdorcia conserva un valore solo come area agricola; in concomitanza con i lavori di bonifica della Valdichiana la viabilità da San Quirico per Pienza - Montepulciano e Chiusi viene ad assumere un ruolo determinante.

Nardò is a town and comune in the southern Italian region of Apulia, in the province of Lecce. In 2014, it had a population of 20,766. Traces of human presence in the area dates from Palaeolithic times. The settlement was founded by the Messapi around the year 1000 BC. The Romans conquered it in 269 BC and built the Via Traiana through it. After the fall of the Western Empire it was under the Byzantines and the Lombards. In 1055 the Normans captured Nardò. Their heirs were ousted by the Angevines in 1266. In 1497 the Aragonese gave it to Andrea Matteo Acquaviva, whose son Belisario was the first Duke of Nardò, and promoted the Renaissance in the city. In 1647 the city rebelled against the Spanish domination, but the viceroyal troops suppressed the riot with heavy terms.
Part of Salento, Nardò is located in the north-western area of the province, by the Ionian Sea. The municipality borders with Avetrana (TA), Copertino, Galatina, Galatone, Leverano, Porto Cesareo, Salice Salentino and Veglie. The town counts 11 hamlets(frazioni): Boncore, Cenate, Pagani, Palude del Capitano, Porto Selvaggio, Roccacannuccia, Santa Caterina, Sant'Isidoro, Santa Maria al Bagno, Torre Inserraglio, Torre Uluzzo and Villaggio Resta.

Places to see in ( Acireale - Italy )
Acireale is a coastal city and comune in the north-east of the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy, at the foot of Mount Etna, on the coast facing the Ionian Sea. It is home to numerous churches, including the Neo-Gothic St. Peter's Basilica, St. Sebastian's Basilica in the Sicilian Baroque style, and the 17th century Acireale Cathedral, and a seminary, for the training of priests. Acireale is also noted for its art and paintings: the oldest academy in Sicily, the Accademia dei Dafnici e degli Zelanti, is located here.
In the 16th century, Emperor Charles V freed the city from feudal ties, creating it as a Crown commune. In the late 16th century, the town had between 6,000 and 7,000 inhabitants. The most ancient document mentioning the Carnival of Acireale dates to 1594. The town expanded its role as a trade center (it was granted the right to hold a Free Market or Fiera Franca) and received numerous new edifices.
Acireale was nearly destroyed by an earthquake in 1693, which substantially halted its economic growth. During the Expedition of the Thousand (1861), which freed Sicily from the Kingdom of Naples, Acireale was the first town to rebel against the Bourbons. In 1941, it was bombed by the Allies, resulting in many civilian casualties.
The church of San Biagio in Acireale contains some of the relics of the Venerable Gabriele Allegra, who had entered the Franciscan seminary in 1918. Villa Belvedere and Parco delle Terme, two large public parks and La Timpa, a beautiful natural reserve overlooking the Ionian Sea, offer great nature sights. Piazza Duomo, with its St. Peter's Basilica, is in the main square of the city. There are many beautiful historic Baroque buildings in town, such as Palazzo Pennisi and Palazzo Modò, which date from the 17th century, and Palazzo Musmeci dating from the 18th century. The commercial city center is primarily located in the streets including and adjacent to Corso Umberto and Corso Italia, which are the city's principal thoroughfares. The Fortezza del Tocco, a 16th-century fort, has been converted to a nature reserve.
