The Abruzzo region is situated along the Adriatic Coast, extending 129 km. from the Tronto River in the north to the Trigno River in the south. Inland, the Region is mainly mountainous covering a territory of 10.947 sq. km. Although there are no plains in the costal area, a few can be found inland, such as the “Piana del Fucino” (Fucino Plain) which was obtained through the draining of a lake bearing the same name. The Province of L’Aquila is a mountainous area, while hills prevail in the Province of Chieti. Pescara and Teramo instead are characterized by both mountains and hills. The Capital city of the Abruzzo region is L’Aquila, although Pescara remains the financial and administrative heart of the Region and its most populated city. Pescara is a distinctly modern city, founded in 1927 thanks to the union of Castellammare Adriatico and Pescara. The city boasts a new railway station, airport and one of the largest and most important tourist harbours of the Mediterranean Sea. The Gran Sasso of Italy (Prati di Tivo - Te) 5 With its inland natural beauty defined as “Europe’s Green Region”, famous for its beautiful parks and nature reserves, Abruzzo is an area rich in history, art and gastronomy specialities. The region’s most important inland areas of development are situated in extensive valleys, namely L’Aquila, Sulmona and Avezzano. • Climate Many zones have rather low annual average temperatures: low winter temperature, falling below zero at higher altitudes, can produce harsh winters while summers are relatively warm with significant variations in temperature. Temperatures rise significantly, especially in the summer months, as one goes towards the Adriatic coasts. • Teramo: History During the Age of the Roman Empire the city of Teramo was called “Interamnia” (meaning “between two rivers”) and was both a colony and municipality. Under the Emperor Augustus and later the Emperor Adriano, Teramo underwent a golden age, proof of which stand temples, baths, an amphitheatre and a wide array of other monuments, today buried under the new city. After a long period of prosperity the Roman city was destroyed in 410 by the Goths and Alaric causing its downfall. Later, under the rule of the Longobards it was annexed as a County to the Duchy of Spoleto. Norman and Angevin rules followed until the mid 15th century when the city became part of the Kingdom of Naples. Following Austrian occupation during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714) and a brief period of French rule in 1798, Teramo shared the vicissitudes of the Kingdom of Naples until the year 1860, when, together with the whole Abruzzo region, it became part of Italy. 6 Today, Teramo has become an important agricultural and financial centre with a number of small and medium-sized enterprises. It has also become a lively tourist location, thanks to its “mid-way” position – only 20 km away both from the mountains and the seaside. Teramo offers 50 km. of splendid golden-sand beaches and non-polluted waters together with some of the most spectacular snow-capped mountain peaks of the Central Apennine Chain. 1 2 1 - Piazza Garibaldi 2 - Corso S. Giorgio 3 3 - Corso Cerulli 7 • The Cathedral: Il Duomo Situated in the centre of the main square, The Cathedral is the most important monument of the city, built in 1158. Inside a nave and two aisles, divided by round columns and pillars can be admired. Works such as “Paliotto D’argento by Nicola da Guardiagrele and the Polyptych of Saint Agostino (15th century) by Jacobello del Fiore together with frescoes dating back to 15thcentury are of noteworthy importance. Next to the Cathedral stands the bell-tower completed by Antonio da Lodi in the XV century. • The Roman Theatre The Roman Theatre, whose ruins occupy a wide area of the city centre, dates back approximately to 30 B.C. The tiers, 78 meters in diameters, are made of travertine and stand upon 20 arches. Reserved for spectators, the tiers seated approximately 3,000 people. To the right stand the remains of the Amphitheatre, dating back to XIII century. 8 • The Ancient Cathedral: Sant’Anna In the old town centre stand the ruins of the ancient Sancta Maria Interamnensis Cathedral, today known as Sant’Anna. Built during the Byzantine Age on a Roman temple and subsequently rebuilt in the 12th century, it was burned down by the Normans in 1155. Of this ancient Cathedral, Roma-nesque arches and a presbytery with numerous Roman remains and a three pane window on marble columns (triforio), still stand. In the nearby square a Roman bastion dating back to 2nd-century B.C. can be admired; known as “La Torre Bruciata” (the burnt down tower), around it there are several buildings in liberty style. Next to Sant’Anna, there is an area in which various homes dating back to the Roman Age have been discovered and recently opened to the public as part of an archaeological “walking tour” project under way at the moment. Reopened to the public a short time ago, the Domus Leone, next to Sant’Anna, is an ancient building dating back to the 1st-century, containing a noteworthy mosaic. 9 • Piazza S.Anna Other noteworthy sites include the Sant’An-tonio Church which, according to the legend of San Francesco D’Assisi, was built in 1227 and enlarged a century later, its facade has a beautiful Romanesque portal; the Convent of San Giovanni with its lovely cloister; the 14th-century buildings of Palazzo Vescovile and of the town hall Loggia; San Domenico Church and Casa Capuani. (Capuani Residence). Outside the city centre, Madonna delle Grazie, built in 1153, presents a beautiful wooden statue of the Virgin dating back to the XV century together with a very original cloister. • The “Della Monica Castle” This is medieval Castle with its own surrounding village adorned by merlons and windows. Conceived as a “single work of art”, it was created by the painter Gennaro Della Monica. 10 The Sant’Antonio Church • The Astronomical Observatory On the top of one of the many hills surrounding the city, The Astronomical Observatory of Collurania is of noteworthy importance, containing the instruments bought by its founder, Vincenzo Cerulli in 1917. Today, the scientists employed here study stellar astrophysics. There are two projects under way in co-operation with the University of Teramo concerning degree- courses in astrophysics, communication and scientific divulgation. • Suburbs In the suburban area the most beautiful Romanic monument is Santa Maria di Ronzano in Castel Castagna, an important site revealing the influence of Apulian art. Its presbytery boasts a series of noteworthy frescoes. In the town of Atri, the Cathedral of Santa Maria is of great interest, characterized by marvellous Romanic structures and splendid frescoes by Andrea De Litio. At the feet of the Gran Sasso peak, not far from to the village of Isola, the Sanctuary of San Gabriele 11 Dell’Addolorata (Patron Saint of young people and of the whole Abruzzo Region), attracts visitors all year round. Next to the small conventual church, a modern building able to hold 10,000 people was built in 1970 and is visited annually by over 2 million devoted worshippers. It is also a centre for many important religious events such as the International Festival of Sacred Art. • Gastronomy Among the many ways of being a foreign student, the quest for flavours only appears to be the simplest and least exacting. In fact, setting out in search of local tastes, typical dishes and culinary traditions in a town like Teramo means becoming a real researcher delving into a new field of study. Eating in Teramo is never simply a case of trying a certain dish or experimenting with a new recipe. No, in Teramo eating means embarking on the discovery of a unique culinary culture in which every dish has its history and its traditions. At the table of the local people every taste is part of the history of the town; there is no dish that does not call for dedication and often sacrifice, just as there is no citizen of Teramo who does not have his personal version of a dish, his own family recipe. A secret not to be revealed. Thus, eating in Teramo means precisely that: discovering a secret, taking part in the great collective ritual of constant tasting, in which every recipe has its various stages and every stage takes its own time. The tourist is asked to make just one commitment: to approach the Teramo cuisine with the attentive eye of one who wants to “taste” and not devour, to “understand” and not merely see, to “fill his soul” and not just his stomach. 12 I - T HE UNIVERSITY OF TERAMO Address: Phone: Web-site: Viale F. Crucioli, 122 I – 64100 Teramo +39 (0)861 2661 www.unite.it • Past and Present The University of Teramo was established in 1993, detached from the University of Chieti in a moment of strong tension between supporters of “autonomy” and those wanting to maintain the traditional structure. In the past 10 years, the University of Teramo has reached important goals and obtained recognition, proving that the difficult decisions made in the beginning have given way to excellent results. The Law-Politics-Communication sector of the University of Teramo is characterized by the Faculties of Law, Political Science (with the course of Science in cultural Tourism and Legal, Economic and Management Sport Sciences) and Communication Science. The agricultural-biological-veterinarian sector has become a strong scientific point of reference for the whole Region, but also for all of central Italy and the Adriatic Coast. 13 This sector has its roots in the Faculty of Veterinary-Medicine, which was strengthened in 1998 by the foundation of the Faculty of Agriculture. Five degree Courses are offered: Veterinarian Medicine, Animal Protection and Well-being, Food Science and Technology, Viticulture and Enology, Biotechnology.

[email protected] 16 II - T HE ITALIAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM • Grading System Following the recent reorganization of the Italian University education into the two-tier “3+2” curriculum, a system of training credits has been introduced. These credits indicate the amount of work required for a student with adequate initial preparation to acquire the knowledge and skills envisaged by the course syllabus. One credit is the equivalent of 25 hours of work by the student. This work comprises both classroom activities (lectures, practical, seminars), individual study and other training activities like work placements, etc. The average yearly workload required of a full-time students has been established as 60 credits. Credits are earned by passing the end-ofcourse examination or on successful completion of other forms of assessment. They do not take the place of grades. • Grade Individual courses are graded on a scale of 18 – 30: 18 18 – 23 24 – 26 27 – 28 29 – 30 30 cum laude minimum pass adequate satisfactory good very good outstanding • Degree The maximum final university grade is 110/110. For exceptional students the degrees may be awarded cum laude. 17 • Academic Calendar The basic unit of the Italian System of Higher Education is the Academic Year, from October 1 to September 30. The first semester starts 1 October and ends 31 December. The second semester starts 1 March and ends 31 May. In all case these dates don’t include examinations. • Exams sessions Summer Session: April, May, June and July Autumn Session: September, October, November, December and January Winter Session: February and March • November 1 December 8 December 19 (only in Teramo) From December 23 to January 7 (Christmas holidays) From Thursday before Easter to the following Wednesday (Easter holidays) April 25 May 1 June 2 From August 1 to August 31 (Summer holidays) 18 III - E XCHANGE PROGRAMME AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TERAMO • Socrates Programme The University of Teramo has carried out the Socrates Programmes, mainly the Erasmus, since 1994, in order to encourage co-operation between Universities across Europe and support the mobility students and teaching staff and to boost the development of joint programmes and courses.
