Simposio is an Italian recipes, stories, and culture book series. This is the Italian Spring Simposio. In Ancient Greece and Rome, philosophers, artists, and a few lucky ones attended rich banquets followed by wine, singing, dancing, playing, and cultural conversations. This last part was called Symposium, Simposio in Italian. And that's what you will experience when you browse the pages of the books: a world of meaningful conversation, inspiring learning, and dionysian pleasures. In each book, you will find recipes, stories, local traditions, and beautiful pictures. Plus: 100% authentic Italian recipes, pictures, traditions, and stories; servings, whenever possible, for two people, duplicable as desired; measures in gr, cups, and oz, whenever possible; print (coffee-table-perfect) book or kindle format.

Ciao, Welcome to Maremma, the Tuscan land of cowboys, brigands, and family-owned trattorie! Another Tuscany, far from the beautiful Medieval or Renaissance cities. Untamed, wild. Colonized and freed. Forgotten and celebrated. We will meet a variety of personages: from eternally hunted outlaws to celebrated grand dukes. Fierce noblewomen defending their family possessions or seducing sultans. Corsairs, monks, deli and cafè owners, butchers, street market vendors, travel agents, and winemakers. We will climb up perched towns to see breathtaking sights and maybe catch a witch flying by or guarding a millennial olive tree. We will follow the traces of Etrurians, of their cults and gods, and try to uncover the secrets they've left behind. Then we will travel through the eras: the Middle Ages, the Spanish domination, the left-wing... On the shores, we will encounter the Italian crowds in search of "la bella vita", ladies bent over the sand to collect Telline (clams), and anglers at work to preserve their traditional fishing practices. We will gather herbs to make delicious authentic dishes and regenerate our tired limbs in thermal springs born of a god's bolt. Through food, we will witness the outdoor life and cuisine of the Butteri (horsemen) of Maremma. The still vivid heritage of the Italian-Jewish communities. How the smallest town exported a recipe that became the national food of... France! How terrible memories can become delicious treats. And the way scraps and unsold cuts have combined into clay pots to give birth to extraordinary triggers for our taste buds. From wild boar to seafood, from ricotta to nutty Christmas sweets, we will learn how to cook like a Maremman. There's so much to discover about this beautiful land's past and present, so much to enjoy! So let the adventure begin! Benvenuti in Maremma! Claudia

Students and scholars of the Italian Renaissance easily fall under the spell of its achievements: its self-confident humanism, its groundbreaking scientific innovations, its ravishing artistic production. Yet many of the developments in Italian ceramics and glass were made possible by Italy's proximity to the Islamic world. The Arts of Fire underscores how central the Islamic influence was on this luxury art of the Italian Renaissance. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Getty Museum on view from May 4 to August 5, 2004, The Arts of Fire demonstrates how many of the techniques of glass and ceramic production and ornamentation were first developed in the Islamic East between the eighth and twelfth centuries. These techniques - enamel and gilding on glass and tin-glaze and lustre on ceramics - produced brilliant and colourful decoration that was a source of awe and admiration, transforming these crafts, for the first time, into works of art and true luxury commodities. Essays by Catherine Hess, George Saliba, and Linda Komaroff demonstrate early modern Europe's debts to the Islamic world and help us better understand the interrelationships of cultures over time.

Ciao, benvenuti in Umbria, welcome to Umbria, Italy. The central region of Italy, the land of fairytales, religious fervor, jazz festivals, and nourishing food. A land to live slowly, letting nature, flavors, legends, ancient celebrations, history, and wine inebriate you. Simposio, in the guise of a travel guide, will accompany you through some - slow traveling means having to choose - of Umbria's towns. You will explore Perugia, Gubbio, Orvieto, Spoleto, Montefalco, Norcia, and Scheggino. Of each, you will take home a story, a personage, a sentiment, or an experience. Of all, you will discover the flavors of their traditional cuisine and the beauty of their alleys. Set your mind to the fairytale mood. As always, we will cross the line of reality. We will enjoy the foggy dimension of maybe and the fun state of why not. Italy's heritage is made of this: ancient beliefs, uncertain origins, the merging of cultures, and breathtaking results. Get ready for the cookbook part and feast over chestnuts and beans, chicken and duck, peasant's cuisine and truffles, sausages, and seasonal vegetables. Get ready to sip wine wrapped in a mantel, facing a bonfire, waiting to see angels pass, or witches, or griffons. Get ready to witness Etruria merging into Middle Ages, the sixties avant-garde into modern jazz, and religious fever into everyday life. Get ready for Umbria! Claudia

“Red November delivers the real life feel and fears of submariners who risked their lives to keep the peace.” —Steve Berry, author of The Paris Vendetta W. Craig Reed, a former navy diver and fast-attack submariner, provides a riveting portrayal of the secret underwater struggle between the US and the USSR in Red November. A spellbinding true-life adventure in the bestselling tradition of Blind Man’s Bluff, it reveals previously undisclosed details about the most dangerous, daring, and decorated missions of the Cold War, earning raves from New York Times bestselling authors David Morrell, who calls it, “palpably gripping,” and James Rollins, who says, “If Tom Clancy had turned The Hunt for Red October into a nonfiction thriller, Red November might be the result.”

Housed in the former 16th-century convent of Santo Domingo church, now the Regional Museum of Oaxaca, Mexico, is an important collection of textiles representing the area’s indigenous cultures.

The book contains 145 color photographs of the valuable textiles in the collection, as well as images of local weavers and project participants at work. Subjects include anthropological research, ancient and present-day weaving techniques, analyses of natural dyestuffs, and discussions of the ethical and practical considerations involved in working in Latin America to conserve the materials and practices of living cultures.
