 INFORMATION
  • A Brief History of Terrorism in Italy – "To understand what is going on and why, the history of terrorism in Italy often needs to be taken into account when acts of terrorism occur in Italy. Here’s information on recent acts of terrorism which is followed by a look at the history of terrorism in Italy" – May 28, 2012 – by  – "About" – Source: ITALY chronicles – "The Italy You Don't Know"
  • Terrorism in the European Union – "The acts of terrorism that have either failed, been foiled or been successfully executed within the European Union (EU) have in large part been categorised by the European Police Office (Europol) as either pertaining to religious issues, right wing, left wing or separatist movements. The field is subject to considerable cooperation among national authorities." – "About Wikipedia" – Source: Wikipedia – "The Free Encyclopedia" – In multiple languages
  • Terrorism threat in Italy – "We have a family vacation planned to Italy with our two children and are due to leave next week. I've just learned that the terrorism threat in Italy has been raised to its highest level due to the country's involvement in the Libyan war and the mass immigration in the south. Does anyone have more information on this? I've read that security controls have been ramped up at airports, police helicopters are constantly patrolling overhead and even local Italians are avoiding mass transit. " – on Mar 24, 11 at 12:47am – Posted by: ziggy65 – "About Us" – Source: Found in Europe Forums on Foder's Travels – "Fodor's Travel Guides - Plan Your Trip Online"

  • Preparing For a Terrorist Attack – Keeping You and Your Family Safe  – ". . .Most Americans are too submerged in their personal technology, or in the vast amount of entertainment that is available to pay attention to situational awareness, such as preparing for a terrorist attack and keeping you and your family safe. Perhaps they are counting on the government to save them in case something like this happens again, or maybe they have already forgotten, and are back in the normalcy bias that something like that could never happen again. However, many people are beginning to wake up, as they finally begin to understand all is not right in our own country. A terrorist attack on the United States is not a matter of if it will happen, but when it will happen. But what can you do? What can you do right now to protect yourself and your family in the event something awful happened here again?  The answers aren’t easy, and you won’t have them handed to you. Unfortunately the type of people who choose to do horrific crimes against others don’t come with instruction manuals, But hopefully, this will give you a general idea of things you can do to protect yourself, family and loved ones in case of a terrorist attack." – "FREE Resources" – By  – "About Us" – Source: Survivalist Prepper – "Where Preparing is Surviving"
  • Terrorism Preparedness – "Terrorist attacks like the ones we experienced on September 11, 2001 have left many concerned about the possibility of future incidents of terrorism in the United States and their potential impact. They have raised uncertainty about what might happen next, increasing stress levels. There are things you can do to prepare for terrorist attacks and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later should another emergency arise. Taking preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of such events." – "About Us" – Source: American Red Cross – ""

  • Take That, Terrorism! 7 Ways to Travel Without Fear – "The terrorist attacks in Paris underscore that we’re living in a world where anything can happen anywhere at any time — in a Paris theater, in a Madrid train station, in a hotel in Mumbai, at a shrine in Bangkok, in the London Tube, in a nightclub in Bali, at a running race in Boston, in a skyscraper in Manhattan…. The answer is not to stop traveling — or to avoid huge swaths of the globe out of a misperception that your risk is greater there than anyplace else. The answer is to keep traveling, to make friends around the world, and to be a thoughtful ambassador for your country. Of course, while your head may be telling you that, your gut may be apprehensive. You may be making travel plans — or trying to — and you can’t help but wonder: If I go, what is the risk that I will get caught in a terrorist incident? How do I minimize that risk? If I can’t minimize it, how do I get over my fear? I believe the solution is to put your risk in perspective. Here’s how:" – November 20, 2015 – by: Wendy Perrin.com – Source: Found in the YAHOO!

PERSONAL OBSERVATION

There us no reason not to travel to Italy, Europe or anywhere in the world because of terrorism or whatever may be happening wherever you are traveling. The caveat is to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings. My wife and I have lived in Italy for the pass 9 years and we have or I had traveled to and/or from France, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, etc. and encountered no difficulties or crime in any of those countries. We had been in countries where there had been previous terrorist incidents but we were aware of the dangers and kept our eyes open and ears tuned to what was happening in the specific city were traveling around.  We kept ourselves aware of the surroundings and enjoyed every place we visited. Due to me developing Parkinson Disease, we did not travel as much in our later years in and around Italy or Europe but we did go out and see the sights and enjoy restaurants, museums and other places of interest.

  • The most common stereotypes about Italians – "I have no doubt about that the most common stereotypes about Italians are : Spaghetti, mafia, musical accent, gestures, romantic, loud, fashion, chaos – these are all words often used to describe Italians and are in fact short definition of italianity. But are these stereotypes true? In this article we will try to give you some insight into the Italian soul and clarify some common misunderstandings that foreigners have about them.

Info about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy

(LAST EDITED / UPDATED: XX MONTH 2016)

Here are some links about, for or on the sparkling wines of Italy: 

SPARKLING WINES OF ITALY
  • Get to Know Sparkling Italian Wine – ". . .There are 5 major types of sparkling wines from Italy which include Prosecco, Lambrusco, Franciacorta and Asti Spumante. Get to know sparkling Italian wine." – September 23, 2013 – By Madeline Puckette – "About Us" – Source: WINE FOLLY – "The essential Guide To Wine"
  • Italian Sparkling Wines – "Shop Italian Sparkling Wines - choose from a huge selection of Italian Sparkling Wines from the most popular online stores at BHG.com" – "About Us" – Source: Found in the shop section on Better Homes & Gardens – ""
  • It Is Not Always Prosecco - A Sparkling Italian Wine Primer – "Most wine drinkers assume “if it is Italian & bubbly, then it must be Prosecco”. I can not blame them, as Prosecco is the number one sparkling wine of Italy in production and export numbers. It is closely followed by Asti. Most consumers associate fine perlage (soft bubbles) and a more or less sweet taste with these two most known sparkling wines. But there is so much more to sparkling wines in Italy than these two. Just as you shouldn’t call any sparkling wine “Champagne” (a very American usage, it seems to me - hello California Champagne, you strange beverage), you shouldn’t call all Italian bubbles “Prosecco”, either. All these names mean a specific area and very often a specific method - and are protected by law! Here is a quick introduction to the most important styles & names. This is by no means a complete list. To learn more, come to one of our sparkling wine tastings - we hold one every Saturday." – "About vino roma" – Source: vino roma – "wine tasting in rome - Drink wine. Not too much. Mostly Italian."
  • The Luxe Adventure Traveler Guide to The Prosecco Road – "We love wine, but that wasn’t always the case. Neither of us really had much of a taste for wine until we moved to Italy. Part of the appeal of wine was visiting vineyards. They’re just so atmospheric. In spring, the new leaf shoots start appearing on the vines that had been cut back after the harvest; as summer days heat up, tiny grapes begin to appear; the onset of véraison signals the end of summer; and the fall sets the remaining leaves ablaze in a sea of gold. Particularly in Italy, vineyards are set among the most picturesque castles and hilltop towns. We’ve definitely visited some beautiful vineyards in the last couple of years, but the Prosecco Road, winding along spaghetti thin roads in the Prosecco Hills of the Veneto has some serious wow-factor." – By – "About Us" – Source: Luxe Adventure Traveler – "Adventure Travel with a Glass of Wine"  
  • Sparkling Wines of Italy – "When most people think of Italian wine, they think of the lush, robust reds of Tuscany or the delicate white wines of Piedmont. They don't generally think of sparkling wine…but they should. Italy produces more different kinds of sparkling wine than any other country in the world. In fact, they have been crafting spumantes (literally, sparkling wines) since Roman times, long before Dom Perignon popped his first cork.From the light, off-dry Proseccos to the classic Franciacortas, Italian sparkling wines are varied, tasty, and often quite affordable." – Thu, 03/24/2016 - 00:00 – By Sandy Mitchell – Source: lifeinitaly.com – "is a website that covers multiple aspects of Italian contemporary life and tourism." – "News | Travel | Food & Wines | Culture | Lifestyle | Fashion | Moving to Italy | Learn Italian | Home & Garden | Places"
