Appunti :
When it comes to resources it is never a
matter of “one size fits all.” The criteria for an effective
resource are as varied and intricate as there are teachers and
students in the world. For this reason it is paramount that
new resources are regularly added to the Co.As.It. Resource
Centre collection, especially those which match current
educational trends and contemporary students’ needs.

http://webopac.coasit.com.au/webopac/
It has a user-friendly search criteria using keywords, title,
subject, author, series etc., and can be accessed from
anywhere. It also indicates the availability status of an item
and is updated immediately a new resource is catalogued.
This newsletter contains a 2012 subscription form for schools
which have yet to renew their subscription for this year.
Subscriber schools can expect their first edition of
“Orizzonti” (A Recipe for all Seasons) to be distributed soon.

Alfa Romeo Automobiles S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of cars.
Founded as A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobile) on June 24,
1910, in Milan, the company has been involved in car racing since 1911,
and has a reputation for building expensive sports cars. The company was
owned by the Italian state holding company Istituto per la Ricostruzione
Industriale between 1932 and 1986, when it became a part of the Fiat Group,
and since February 2007 a part of Fiat Group Automobiles S.p.A.
Alfa Romeo has competed successfully in many different categories of motorsport, including Grand Prix motor
racing, Formula One, sprotscar racing, touring car racing and rallies. They have competed both as a constructor
and an engine supplier, via works entries (usually under the name Alfa Corse or Autodelta) and private entries.
The first racing car was made in 1913, three years after the foundation of the company, and Alfa Romeo won
the inaugural world championship for Grand Prix cars in 1925. The company gained a renowned name in
motorsport, which gave a sporty image to the whole marque. Enzo Ferrari founded the Scuderia Ferrari racing
team in 1929 as an Alfa Romeo racing team, before becoming independent in 1939.

1909 in Molsheim, Alsace, as a manufacturer
of high-performance automobiles. The founder, Ettore Bugatti,
was born in Milan, Italy and the company was known both
for the level of detail of its engineering in its automobiles,
and for the artistic way in which the designs were executed.
This is not surprising, given the artistic nature of Ettore’s family
(his father, Carlo Bugatti (1856 – 1940), was an important
Art Nouveau furniture and jewellery designer. No more than 8,000
cars were made, with one last model released in the 1950s.

They launched their first perfume Dolce & Gabbana in 1992 and won
an Oscar for the best male perfume in 1996.

street-legal vehicles.

Galbani was founded in 1882 by Egidio Galbani, a man
whose passion for crafting the finest Italian cheese available
was widely recognized. Attention to detail was paramount
and the brand quickly became Italy’s favourite and most
trusted cheese brand. The same tradition and passion for

mascarpone and mozzarella being exported to the United
States and many other parts of the world.
Geox is an Italian brand of shoe and apparel manufactured which utilises waterproof / breathable fabrics.
The company was founded in 1995 by Mario Moretti Polegato. The brand name, Geox, was created from a
mixture between the Greek word “geo” (earth) and “x”, a letter-element symbolizing technology.
Polegato was born in 1952 near Treviso and was originally groomed to take over the family wine-making
business. While jogging in Reno’s hot desert climate, his feet go hot from the exertion and he had the idea to
\
cut a couple of holes in the soles of his shoes with s Swiss Army knife. He developed the idea into a viable
product with the help of a small leather-goods business his family owned and extended the product range to
men’s and women’s footwear.
Gucci or The House of Gucci, is an Italian fashion and
leather goods label which was founded by Guccio Gucci in Florence
in 1921. As an immigrant in Paris and then London, working in
exclusive hotels, young Guccio Gucci (1881-1953) was impressed
with the luxurious luggage he saw sophisticated guests bring with
them. Upon returning to his birthplace of Florence, a city
distinguished for high-quality materials and skilled artisans, he
established a shop in 1920 that sold fine leather goods with
classic styling. Initially Gucci employed skilled workers in
basic Florentine leather crafts, attentive to finish, but
with expansion, machine stitching was a production
method that supported construction. In 2008, according
to Business Week Magazine Gucci climbed to 41st position
in the “Top Global 100 Brands” and it is the biggest-selling
Italian brand. Part of the Gucci Group is now owned by the French company PPR.

Illy Caffè is a brand of coffee produced in Trieste,Italy. Illy produces only one blend in three roast variations
: normal, dark roast, and decaffeinated.
The history of Illycaffè is inextricably linked to the lives of the
company’s founder, Francesco Illy and his family. Born in
Temesvar, Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary. Francesco
later came to Trieste during World War 1 as an officer in the
army. After the war, he remained in the city, which had
recently come under Italian rule, and in 1933 set up a business
in the cocoa and coffee sector, eventually deciding to
concentrate exclusively on coffee. From the beginning,
Francesco Illy was interested in espresso coffee. In 1935, he
invented the first automatic coffee machine which substituted
compressed air for steam: the illetta, the predecessor of
today’s espresso machines. He also devised a new packaging
system for preserving coffee in which the cans were filled with
inert gases instead of air pressurization. Illy coffee was soon
“exported: outside the immediate Trieste area and was
eventually sold all over Italy.
After the Second World War, control of the company passed to Ernesto Illy (1925 - 2008), son of the founder,
who started a research laboratory that soon became the source of numerous new inventions and patents.

Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is an Italian car manufacturer. The
company was founded by magnate Ferruccio Lamborghini in 1963, with the
objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with established
offerings from marques such as Ferrari.
The company’s first models were released in the mid-1960s, and were noted
for their refinement, power and comfort. Assembly of Lamborghini cars
continues to take place at the automaker’s ancestral home in Sant’Agata
Bolognese, where engine and automobile production lines run side-by-side at
the company’s single factory. Fewer than 3,000 cars roll off the production line
each year.
Website : Lamborghini.com (http://www.lamborghini.com/)
Lambretta In 1922, Ferdinando Innocenti of Pescia built a steel-tubing factory in Rome and in 1931 took the
business to Milan where he built a larger factory. During the Second World War, Innocenti saw the future of
cheap, private transport and decided to produce a motor scooter – competing on cost and weather protection
against the ubiquitous motorcycle.
As wealth increased in Western Europe in the late 1960s, the demand for motor scooters fell as the small car
became available to more people and Lambretta started to struggle financially as did the parent company
Innocenti.
Innocenti/Lambretta was eventually sold to BLMC. Unfortunately, lack of foresight had caused BLMC to join a
fashion trend that was ending rapidly. Long industrial strikes in BLMC ensued; motor-scooter sales took a
nosedive, and both Innocenti and Lambretta shut up shop in 1972.
The Indian government bought the Milanese factory for essentially the same reasons that Ferdinando Innocenti
had built it after the War, creating Scooters India Limited (SIL). India was a country with poor infrastructure,
economically not ready for small private cars yet with a demand for private transport. Today, the Innocenti
brand name brands are owned by Fiat whereas the oldest Lambretta and Lambro trademark registrations
worldwide are owned by Lambretta Consortium.

panettone (or in Milanese panaton).
He was born in the Lombardy commune of Gessate in 1890 and by 1921
was using special baking paper to produce a distinctive dome like version
of the festive bread. Motta and his rival panettone maker Gioacchino

Murano glass is a famous product of the Venetian island of Murano.
th
It is believed that glassmaking in Murano originated in 9 century Rome,
with significant Asian and Muslim influences, as Venice was a major trading
port. Murano’s reputation as a centre for glassmaking was born when the
Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction of the city’s mostly wooden
buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.
Murano glass is still interwoven with Venetian glass.
Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing these century-old techniques,
crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass figurines to Murano
glass chandeliers and wine stoppers.
Nutella is the brand name of a chocolate hazelnut spread. Nutella, manufactured by the Italian company
Ferrero, was introduced on the market in 1963. The recipe was developed from an earlier Ferrero spread
released in 1944 and is now sold in over 75 countries. An older recipe, Gianduja, was a mixture containing
approximately 50% almond and/or hazelnut paste and 50% chocolate. It was developed in Piedmont, Italy,
after taxes on cocoa beans hindered the manufacture and distribution of conventional chocolate.
Pietro Ferrero, who owned a patisserie in Alba, in the Langhe district of Piedmont, sold an initial batch of 300
kilograms of “Pasta Gianduja” in 1946. This was originally a solid block, but in 1949, Pietro started to sell a
creamy version as “Supercrema.” In 1963, Pietro’s son, Michele, revamped this recipe with the intention of
marketing it across Europe and re-named it “Nutella.” The product was an instant success and remains widely
popular worldwide.
Olivetti S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of computers,
printers and other business machines. The company was

manufacturing plant in 1930, and its Divisumma electric
calculator was launched in 1948. Olivetti produced Italy’s first
electronic computer, the transistorised Elea 9003 in 1959, and
purchased the Underwood Typewriter Company that year. In
1964 the company sold its electronics division to the American
company General Electric. It continued to develop new
computing products on its own; one of these was Programma
101, the first commercially-produced personal computer.

Pirelli & C. SpA is a diverse multinational company based in Milan, Italy. The company, the world’s fifth
largest tyre manufacturer, is present in over 160 countries, has 20 manufacturing sites around the world and a
network of around 10,000 distributors and retailers.
In the 1950s, Alberto Pirelli commissioned the building of a famous Milanese skyscraper in the same area that
housed the very first Pirelli factory during the 19th century which is known as the Pirelli Tower.
Founded in 1872 in Milan by Giovanni Battista Pirelli, the company initially specialised in rubber and derivative
processes.
In 1974, Pirelli invented the “wide radial tyre”, upon a request from the Lancia rally racing team for a tyre
strong enough to withstand the power of the new Lancia Stratos. At that time, racing tyres were either slick
tyres made with the cross ply technique (very wider tyres with a reduced sidewall height), or radial tyres, which
were too narrow to withstand the Stratos’ power and did not provide enough stability or grip.

Vespa is an Italian brand of scooter manufactured by Piaggio. The name means wasp in Italian.
The Vespa has evolved from a single model mother scooter manufactured in 1946 by Piaggio & Co. S.p.A. of
Pontedera, Italy – to a full line of scooters and one of seven companies today owned by Piaggio – now Europe’s
largest manufacturer of two-wheeled vehicles and the world’ fourth largest motorcycle manufacturer by unit
sales. Post World War II Italy, in light of its agreement to cessation of war activities with the Allies, had its
aircraft industry severely restricted in both capability and capacity.
Piaggio emerged from the conflict with its Pontedera fighter plane plant demolished by bombing. Italy's crippled
economy and the disastrous state of the roads did not assist in the re-development of the automobile markets.
Enrico Piaggio, the son of Piaggio's founder Rinaldo Piaggio, decided to leave the aeronautical field in order to
address Italy's urgent need for a modern and affordable mode of transportation for the masses.
Ermenegildo Zegna is a leading fashion house, specializing in men’s clothing. It was founded in 1910, in
Trivero in the Biellese Prealps and quickly gained a reputation for producing fine quality wool suits. By the end
of the 1930s, the Wool Mill employed 1,000 workers. In 1938 the Zegna Woollens Corporation was set up in
New York although exports were not helped by the privations of war. When Ermenegildo’s sons Aldo (born
1920) and Angelo (born 1924) joined the company in 1942, it was renamed Ermenegildo Zegna and Sons. By
1955, the company employed 1,400 workers.
Ermenegildo died in 1966 at age 74 and when Aldo and Angelo took over the business they launched a line of
ready-made suits, produced in Zegna’s factory in Novara.
It is now managed by the fourth generation of the Zegna Family and remains in family ownership. As well as
producing suits for its own labels, it manufactures suits for labels such as Gucci, Yves St Laurent and Tom Ford.

Quante capitali ha avuto l’Italia? Risposta : 3
Oggi Roma è la capitale d’Italia, quindi è il centro politico e amminstrativo del nostro Paese. Non è sempre
stato così, però. La prima capitale del Regno d’Italia è stata Torino, già capitale del Regno di Sardegna. In
quel momento Roma non fa ancora parte del territorio italiano ed è la capitale di uno stato “straniero” : lo
Stato Pontificio.
In seguito alla Convenzione di settembre del 1864, il governo italiano renuncia all’idea di invadere lo stato del
Papa e di conquistare Roma; anzi, decide di spostare la capitale da Torino a Firenze, in modo che la nuova
nazione abbia una capitale diversa da quella del vecchio stato sabaudo. Firenze rimane capitale d’Italia per un
breve periodo, dal 1865 al 1871. Nel 1870 l’esercito italiano invade e conquista lo Stato Pontificio e dal 1871
Roma è la capitale prima del Regno d’Italia e poi della Repubblica, anche se la Costituzione, approvata nel
1948, non contiene un articolo che attribuisce alla città di Roma questo ruolo. Solo nel 2001 è stato
modificato l’articolo 114, a cui, con la legge costituzionale n.3 del 18 ottobre 2001, è stata fra l’altro aggiunta
la frase : “Roma è la capitale della Repubblica”.

After a very successful 2011 (including being one of 6 finalists across Australia to be nominated
for the “2011 AAMI Best New Business Award”), Spectacular Spettacolo will be back in 2012 and
will be offering two shows relevant from Prep – 6, from our very popular “Time Warp” series.
The shows that will be on offer are ‘Part 1’ and ‘Part 2 – Dammi il Cinque’ (more information
on both of these shows including sample songs are available on our website at
www.leaporcaro.com.au/spectacular-spettacolo/).
Every booking will also include the fantastic teachers’ pack which contains over a semester’s
worth of material, the lyrics to all the songs sung throughout the show and a copy of the CD. The
pack has been compiled by Corrado Porcaro (an Italian teacher in the Primary sector for over 27
years), so it is relevant and relates back to current curriculum. Feedback from teachers in regards
to this pack has been extraordinary!
We urge you all to book ASAP, especially if there is a particular date that you have in mind.
Tentative bookings can also be placed as we understand that approval and confirmation can often
take some time. It is also the final year that we will be offering “Time Warp – Part 1” so we
anticipate that it will be very busy!
