Circuito Marcello Maggiorana - Pista Minicar Montegiorgio

Circuito Marcello Maggiorana - Pista Minicar Montegiorgio | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Nasce nella provincia di Fermo  un minicircuito per auto e radiomodelli radiocomandati a scoppio ed elettrici, dedicato a Marcello Maggiorana. La pista, realizzata nel comune di Montegiorgio, nasce dalla passione di un gruppo di appassionati delle competizioni con auto radicomandate che ha deciso di riportare in vita una vecchia pista di mini moto. Il circuito, ufficialmente operativo da Sabato 19 Ottobre, è aperto a tutte le categorie di automodelli radiocomandati. La pista deve ancora gommarsi e quindi le velocità rilevate sono ancora lontane da quel 115km che tutti sentono di poter raggiungere a regime. C’è ancora molto lavoro da fare per renderla efficiente al 100%, ma tutti i piloti sono sicuri che presto potrà ospitare gare internazionali.

Basilica Imperiale di Santa Croce al Chienti - Casette d'Ete - Fermo

Basilica Imperiale di Santa Croce al Chienti  - Casette d'Ete - Fermo | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Nella fantasia popolare la nascita dell’Abbazia di Santa Croce è legata alla romantica e tragica storia di un amore tanto tenero quanto contrastato: quello di Lotario e Imelda. In realtà verso la fine del IX secolo nelle vicinanze del punto in cui il fiume Ete Morto confluisce nel Chienti, probabilmente sui resti di una preesistente basilica cristiana del V secolo, nasce un piccolo cenobio benedettino. Il luogo è considerato strategico e di vitale importanza tanto che il vescovo di Fermo Teodosio e l’imperatore Carlo III il Grosso investono sul piccolo cenobio che si trasformerà ben presto in una delle prime e più potenti abbazie marchigiane. L’Abbazia di Santa Croce al Chienti, prima,sarà la punta di diamante di un sistema di difesa teso a bloccare una possibile, stabile presenza saracena lungo la ricca valle del Chienti e poi un saldo e fedele punto di appoggio per gli imperatori e i loro vassalli che elargivano donazioni e protezioni.

Le pergamene e i documenti conservati nell’Archivio Storico del Comune di Sant’Elpidio a Mare ed altri custoditi nel Fondo Fiastrense presso l’Archivio di Stato di Roma attestano la potenza economica, sociale, culturale e il ruolo di preminenza che l’Abbazia ha svolto nel nostro territorio dal IX al XIII secolo.
Il 14 settembre 887 segna la data della cerimonia di consacrazione dell’Abbazia avvenuta alla presenza del vescovo di Fermo Teodosio e dell’imperatore Carlo III il Grosso, nipote di Carlo Magno. Successivamente gli imperatori Ottone I (968) e Ottone II (981) e lo stesso Federico II di Svevia (1219 e 1242) e i papi come Celestino III (1197) e Gregorio IX (1236), tanto per citarne alcuni tra i più importanti, misero sotto la loro protezione l’Abbazia confermando donazioni e protezioni ed elargendone altre.
Con la fine delle “lotte per l’investitura” e il prevalere del potere papale su quello imperiale, Santa Croce, da sempre fedele all’imperatore, perde un importante punto di appoggio e protezione: è l’inizio di una crisi che sarà irreversibile e la porterà alla fine. Cambiano le condizioni storiche e politiche e di conseguenza quelle economiche; i castelli vicini crescono e diventano sempre più autonomi e l’economia comunale, più viva e aperta, soppianterà quella curtense. D’ora in avanti saranno i comuni, ed in particolare quello di Sant’Elpidio, il punto di riferimento politico, economico e religioso.

From Le Marche to Australia | Pizza Volante in Brisbane

From Le Marche to Australia | Pizza Volante in Brisbane | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Sandro and Mel Falzolgher are the owners and creators of Pizza Volante Boutique Mobile Woodfired Pizzeria.

Mel grew up in Byron Bay, and met Sandro when he was visiting his extended family in Mullumbimby. Sandro’s uncle Zio Luciano came to the northern rivers in the 1950s to cut cane and settled in Mullumbimby, even owning the Empire Cafe where he made pizzas. Sandro and Mel have recently moved back to Byron Bay from Brisbane where, although they enjoyed building up their business, they missed a sense of community for themselves and their children, so they have moved back to be close to their families.

Sandro was born in Fermo on the east coast of Italy (Le Marche). Learning the art of pizza-making from the top pizza chefs in the business is a serious undertaking in Italy, and Sandro spent most of his 20s working in and running small pizzerias in his region of Le Marche. After a trip home he was missing Italy and true pizza so he built a wood-fired pizza oven in the yard of his Brisbane home. [...]

For The Most Magical Marche Experience!

For The Most Magical Marche Experience! | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

"Whilst in Le Marche, if you are coming to stay with us at The Hideaway, whatever you do, do not miss the La Conca experience. Mirela welcomes you to her wonderful agriturismo where you will sample dish after dish of her delicious home cooking.

 

With fresh herbs and vegetables from her beautiful orto, every dish is a taste explosion. A perfect setting, with an amazing host and fabulous food. You really will have a great time.

 

From the ever-changing talking menu, on our visit this time, for antipasti we sampled tasty speck, borlotti bean and garlic pate, a cured meat platter, fried sage leaves in the lightest of batters, fried courgette flowers, homemade cheeses with strawberry and rose petal jam and hot, delicious deep-fried breads so crispy and light.

 

There was still more to come – tasty pasta shells cooked in red wine filled with cottage cheese and chives garnished with borage flowers and pink peppercorns.

 

This was followed by amazing green nettle pasta with sausage cream sauce which was just fabulous, then homemade cannelloni filled with meat and herbs, grilled lamb served with roasted vegetables.

 

Dessert was a delicious type of alcoholic trifle and the whole meal accompanied with as much wine and water as you want. Our experience ended with a wonderful homemade thyme liqueur and coffee.

 

We will certainly be back, as will many of our guests who have sampled the wonders of Mirela and La Conca.

 

La Conca is open every day in the Summer for lunch and dinner, but you need to book in advance as everything is prepared specially for you.

Ciauscolo: a worthy winter indulgence

Ciauscolo: a worthy winter indulgence | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

[...] Marche a region often overlooked by tourists and Italians alike– is in the middle of Italy, bound by the Adriatic sea and the Sibillini mountains. Apart from its photographic vantage points, it is more importantly, the home region of ciauscolo. More specifically, the sausage is produced in the provinces of Macerata, Fermo and Ascoli Piceno– which have subsequently held PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status since 2009.
Made from cuts of pork shoulder and belly, lonza (pork sirloin), prosciutto, and some extra fat, ciauscolo is seasoned simply with black pepper, salt, garlic, and sometimes vincotto (a sweet cooked wine). The finely minced mix is then cased, and left to dry for one day. The sausages are then cold-smoked over juniper branches for another two days, and finally left to age for two weeks
With such a brief age time, the result is a softer, spreadable sausage that is habitually had over bread. A lightly seasoned and slightly smoked, almost-raw spread, its texture is more akin to a paté–thus making ciauscolo distinct from the well-known, dryer salumis synonymous with Italian fare. However, for those who aren’t so keen on gnawing raw, you can also get ciauscolo that has been seasoned for a few weeks longer, and find yourself the more familiar, dryer, sausage texture. Both are worthy additions to your charc’t board; but the former, more so.
I would suggest a wine, but, why not follow the juniper theme and bring out a decent gin? It’s 2013! Let’s get modern!
