Biking Trevignano

Every Saturday and Sunday it will be possible, free of charge to leave your own car near the parking  in via Settevene Palo and to rent a  bicycle completely free of charge. it is done to bettert appreciate the naturalistic and artistic heritage of our country, and to reduce traffic and its pollution.

The Congress will study this period by focusing on three important themes of the Second Vatican Council: Christ, Church, Man in addition to other minor themes. These three fundamental themes have been widely accepted as an integral part of the Pontiff's teaching and witness. John Paul II felt responsible for the teaching of the Council and wanted to be its continuation, first as Bishop of Krakow and then as Bishop of Rome.

This Congress will underline these important themes and how they were incorporated into John Paul II's teachings, pastoral programs, and in his local and universal pastoral work. Experts of international fame will initiate the discussion to stimulate and encourage the commitment of all Christians in today’s world.

These Council themes continue to illuminate life in the Church today and the world of men and women of our time. The presence of distinguished persons in the ecclesiastical and academic world, as well as representatives of other religions, will present the wide horizons of the Council, as characterized by the life of John Paul II at the beginning of the Second Millennium. His life, which was lived between "the new and the old", was a synthesis of traditional and new prospectives.

DAY 3   Thursday, October 30, 2008

I'm thrilled to share with you an exciting surprise that one of our recent site visits during the beautiful sunny days of January unveiled: the rediscovery of the ancient and renowned Aquae Ceretane. These thermal springs are mentioned in various ancient sources, including the Roman physician Caelius Aurelianus, the Greek historian and geographer Strabo, and the ancient Roman historian Titus Livius. The springs had disappeared and remained "frozen" by history for over a millennium and a half, buried beneath private agricultural land, yet they maintained a surprisingly good state of preservation for some of their decorative features. The size and artistic level of these structures are decidedly exceptional compared to the standard of settlements known in the area.

The coastal stretch north west of Rome, in addition to the natural and landscape beauties and the many archeological parks (some protected by UNESCO) also retains a rich submerged archaeological heritage that surely deserves to be visited,valued and protected in the best way. This region is too rich of historical, archeological and natural beauties to be covered in few lines, so, in this article, I will only mention and refer to some of the less known ancient ruins dating back to the Etruscan and Roman times and only to those found directly on the sea, or underwater.

Visit the Capitoline Museums for free and its countless masterpieces and works of art through a virtual experience that goes beyond spatial limits, from computers, tablets and smartphones and also with additional media such as the special cardboard or VR viewers.

Escape the ordinary and be an adventurer !

Experience easy but fascinating archaeological hiking tours through natural canyons and ancient paths dug into the rock of the volcanic hills, filled with thousand of picturesque and perfectly preserved ruins, waterfalls, rivers, all surrounded by the beautiful pristine Mediterranean forest.

Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio (c. 1488/1490^[1] – 27 August 1576^[2]) known in English as Titian(pron.: /ˈtɪʃən/) was an Italian painter, the most important member of the 16th-century Venetian school. He was born in Pieve di Cadore, near Belluno (in Veneto), in the Republic of Venice. During his lifetime he was often called da Cadore, taken from the place of his birth.

Here are some important regulation to be aware of before packing your luggage to catch a plane.

CARRY ON LUGGAGE REGULATIONS

Each passenger is allowed one carry-on item, the dimensions of which must not exceed 55 cm x 35 cm x 25 cm. Passengers may also carry one personal item, such as a purse, crib, laptop, wheelchair, pair of crutches, pushchair or stroller. The total weight of such items must not exceed 12 kg.

Security Rules for Liquids

What are liquids?

It is best to put as many of your liquid items as possible in your checked luggage.

For liquids, creams, pastes and gels taken on board, a specific regulation applies. All of these products must be presented at security checks in a transparent plastic bag (ex. freezer bag) of a maximum capacity of one litre (around 20 cm x 20 cm). Each liquid container cannot contain more than 100 ml and all containers must fit in the bag. Passengers may present only one closed bag, which must fit in the hand luggage. Any container over 100 ml is not allowed to pass through security checks, but is allowed in checked luggage

Lighters

Passengers are allowed to carry a lighter with them onboard. The lighter must be placed in a transparent bag and remain with them for the entire duration of the trip; it can not be placed in hand luggage. Note that lighters are not allowed in checked luggage either

Medication and medical equipment

Any necessary medications in containers over 100 ml may be taken with you onboard. However, all such drugs must be checked at the security point. In addition, you must obtain an agreement from the airport and the airline company you are travelling with prior to departure. You must also bring all relevant medical documentation (prescriptions, certificates...) which state that these drugs are essential to your health.

You may also take onboard any medical equipment you might need during the trip. If possible, this material must fit in only one piece of luggage and you must carry with you documentation showing it is necessary.

Children

You are allowed to take with you in cabin enough liquid baby food and sterilised water for the duration of the journey. However, you may be asked to taste a small amount of these items at the security checkpoint.

Duty Free

You can take liquid products bought after the security checkpoint onboard, regardless of their size. The majority of stores will handle your purchased items in a sealed bag; do not open it before reaching your final destination and keep your proof of purchase, as you will be asked to show it during transfer.

Note that if you have a connecting flight and your liquid items have been purchased in an airport's duty free area or onboard an aircraft from a non-EU company, you will be asked to check them.

Before you get to the airport

Take only items which are absolutely necessary in cabin and check as many liquid products as possible. Buy your plastic freezer bag before getting to the airport. If you have a doubt about regulations applying to your journey, contact the airport you are leaving from or your airline before getting to the airport.

Remember you cannot take wrapped gifts with you, as they will be unwrapped at the security checkpoint.

Upon arriving at the security gates

Be ready to show your freezer bag to the security agent; it will be checked at the same time as your hand luggage. Take off your coat or jacket so they can be checked and remove any metal objects from your pockets.

If you are travelling with a laptop or any other electrical appliance, remove it from your luggage and present it separately. In some cases, the security agent may ask you to take off your shoes or your belt.

FORBIDDEN AND AUTHORISED ITEMS

Sharp objects

Sports Equipment

Guns and weapons

Tools

Explosive materials

All explosive materials, without exception, including realistic replicas of explosives, are forbidden both in hand luggage and checked luggage, as they are flammable items (fuel, gasoline, lighter torches...).
