I.T.T. Italian Travel Team - Italy

In Italy with Antonio Travel Weekly reporter David Cogswell wrote: portrait of a tour manager as the main man.  "the tour director is the host of the party, a wild sleepover in a moving setting. he is the facilitator of the movement; the solver of problems; the maker of arrangements; a sympathetic ear to the frustrated; a protector of the vulnerable, and a helping hand to the faltering. he must be a little bit teacher, a bit of an entertainer and certainly a leader."

Product description Pane di Altamura PDO is bread made from a dough of ground Durum wheat, Mother yeast or sour dough, marine salt and water.  Production Method Chef Vincenzo D'Ambrosio The Mother yeast is renewed at least three times with the addition of water and Durum wheat semolina, with the aim of increasing the fermented mass. The ingredients are mixed in a mixer for 20 minutes. The dough is covered with a thick cotton cloth in order to ensure that it leavens at an even temperature; it is then left to rest for at least 90 minutes. The dough is weighed and then shaped by hand in two stages, alternated with two resting periods of 30 and 15 minutes. The forms are turned upside down and then put into a wood or gas oven at a temperature of 250°C. For the first 15 minutes the oven is left open, after which the door is closed and the bread is left to cook for a further 45 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, the door is opened and the bread is left for five minutes b...

Italy has an extensive rail network that connects the whole country. There is a wide range of regional, intercity and high-speed services to choose from, with 95% of the routes run by Trenitalia, which guarantees 7000 trains a day, almost half of them in peak traffic hours, except Molise and Basilicata. There are various types of train: local services, Diretto (DIR), Regionale (R), and Interregionale (IR), which stop at all the stations on the route, and the faster, long distance trains, Intercity (IC) and Eurostar (ES), which stop only in major towns and cities. In addition, there are high speed Eurostar Italy trains, the so-called Freccia Rossa, that can reach 300 km/h. Once a ticket has been purchased, it must be stamped before boarding the train, using one of the many yellow machines present on or near the platforms. For service times and information, it is advisable to consult the website of the national state rail system: www.trenitalia.it.

The region of Abruzzo is situated in the centre of Italy and is one of Italy's most beautiful and unspoilt regions. There are several National and Regional Parks within its boundaries including 16 separate ski areas in the Abruzzo Appenines. Many of these are quite small and wouldn't be considered to be 'destination' resorts. Campo Imperatore, then, was actually the first ski resort born in the Apennines Range; it lies at the edges of the same-named platueau that is overshadowed by the summits of Gran Sasso. Among the chilliest zones in Italy, it is characterized by consistent snowfall, November to April. While in summertime it is accessible by several passable roads, in wintertime it is easier to take the cable car transport connecting Campo Imperatore to the Commune of Assergi. The slopes that make up this ski resort can extend to 9.3 miles and are served by four different ski-lifts. Thirty-seven miles of Nordic Ski track are also available, in addition to snow...

The shores of Abruzzo are variegated: gently sloping sandy beaches with a low coastline in the North and rugged, indented coastline in the South. The North of the region has high-level tourist accommodation services, leisure time facilities, night clubs, and in Pescara, there is an ultra-modern touristic port. In the South, the scenery changes dramatically: it is a more sedate area and nature reigns supreme: an alternation of coves, bushes of broom, vineyards, long stretches of sandy shores, all framed by luscious Mediterranean vegetation. Trabocchi Especially attractive are the curious trabocchi, singular fishing huts built on piles. The beaches of Abruzzo are particularly suited for families seeking a tranquil holiday and also for the young who will find in Abruzzo a wide range of entertainment facilities and outdo or pursuits, where sports enthusiasts can go sailing, do windsurfing, canoeing, fishing and scuba diving
