  • Mellieha, Malta - 19 August, 2012:  Hassan Mahamed Dalmar, 21, an immigrant from North Somalia, places an umbrella for a couple of tourists in Mellieha Bay, Malta, on 19 August, 2012. Hassan left Somalia in 2007 and went to Djibouti, Eritrea, Sudan, Libya and arrived in Malta in 2009 after paying a smuggler $900 to board a boat with 160 immigrants. After 7 days, the boat had finished its gas, food and water. They were saved by a Finnish ship that brought them to Malta. A finnish worker who helped Hassan told him: "You are born again now. Pray the Lord and start a new life". Upon his arrival in Malta he was put in a detention center for 12 months. His application for refugee status was rejected. He made it to Belgium in August 2011 and was deported back to Malta in January 2012. Upon his return he was imprisoned for 4 months for traveling illegally. He was released on May 28, 2012. Since then he has been working, sleeping outdoors and living in the beach of Mellieha Bay, where he sets up umbrellas and sunbeds from 6:30am to 7:30pm.<br />
<br />
Some immigrants work, live, sleep and eat for the entire summer season in the Maltese beaches. Their work consists of waking up at 6:30am and unpile and place sunbeds, cushions and umbrellas at the beach before tourists arrive. Upon their arrival at the beach, tourists are guided by the migrants to the spot they choose. Umbrellas and sunbeds cost 5 euros each. The toursts pay the migrants, whom brings the money to the owner. Each migrant is paid 25 euros a day. By 9am, there are about 90 umbrellas and 180 sunbeds ready for the tourists.<br />

Mr Speranza, who lives in Vallo della Lucania (about 30 kilometers from Acciaroli) spends 3 months a year in Acciaroli because of its fresh air and healthy lifestyle. He comes to the beach to exercise and relax every day.<br />
<br />
To understand how people can live longer throughout the world, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have teamed up with colleagues at University of Rome La Sapienza to study a group of 300 citizens, all over 100 years old, living in Acciaroli (Pollica), a remote Italian village nestled between the ocean and mountains in Cilento, southern Italy.<br />
<br />
About 1-in-60 of the area’s inhabitants are older than 90, according to the researchers. Such a concentration rivals that of other so-called blue zones, like Sardinia and Okinawa, which have unusually large percentages of very old people. In the 2010 census, about 1-in-163 Americans were 90 or older.

<br />
Over the previous three decades, Praiano had grown as part of the tourism boom of nearby Positano and the Amalfi Coast in general, but it had never developed its own identity or tried to shape its future. It is now trying to muscle in on the fame of better-known tourist drawn towns like Positano, Ravello and Amalfi, by positioning itself as an open-air museum. On Saturday, the town unveiled eight tourist itineraries, tracking the town’s traditional small religious shrine made of majolica tiles, augmented with the works of eight contemporary artists.<br />
<br />
These shrines were built all over town to protect the Praianesi and their homes. The artists were asked to draw inspiration from the past or the local values and traditions and to revitalize and reinforce the concept of "street art" typical of the traditional shrines. The artists were also asked to create ceramic installations that would enhance and enrich the natural landscape. Their installations were not supposed to alter the nature and the local “people’s architecture”, but rather to enrich them in harmonious and elegant ways.<br />
<br />
The Praiano NaturArte Project consists of eight art itineraries. Seven of them have ceramic works (ceramic is a traditional medium in the area) and are made by some of the best and most well-known artists in the area.

  • ACCIAROLI, ITALY - 14 SEPTEMBER 2018: A view of the beach in Acciaroli, a small fishing village in the municipality of Pollica, Italy, on September 14th 2018.<br />
<br />
To understand how people can live longer throughout the world, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have teamed up with colleagues at University of Rome La Sapienza to study a group of 300 citizens, all over 100 years old, living in Acciaroli (Pollica), a remote Italian village nestled between the ocean and mountains in Cilento, southern Italy.<br />
<br />
About 1-in-60 of the area’s inhabitants are older than 90, according to the researchers. Such a concentration rivals that of other so-called blue zones, like Sardinia and Okinawa, which have unusually large percentages of very old people. In the 2010 census, about 1-in-163 Americans were 90 or older.

  • PRAIANO, ITALY - 21 MAY 2016: A fisherman relaxes at the beach "La Praia", by the art itinerary of art Paolo Sandulli marked by a red drape, in Praiano, Italy, on May 21st 2016.<br />
<br />
Over the previous three decades, Praiano had grown as part of the tourism boom of nearby Positano and the Amalfi Coast in general, but it had never developed its own identity or tried to shape its future. It is now trying to muscle in on the fame of better-known tourist drawn towns like Positano, Ravello and Amalfi, by positioning itself as an open-air museum. On Saturday, the town unveiled eight tourist itineraries, tracking the town’s traditional small religious shrine made of majolica tiles, augmented with the works of eight contemporary artists.<br />
<br />
These shrines were built all over town to protect the Praianesi and their homes. The artists were asked to draw inspiration from the past or the local values and traditions and to revitalize and reinforce the concept of "street art" typical of the traditional shrines. The artists were also asked to create ceramic installations that would enhance and enrich the natural landscape. Their installations were not supposed to alter the nature and the local “people’s architecture”, but rather to enrich them in harmonious and elegant ways.<br />
<br />
The Praiano NaturArte Project consists of eight art itineraries. Seven of them have ceramic works (ceramic is a traditional medium in the area) and are made by some of the best and most well-known artists in the area.

  • Herculaneum, Italy - 2 August, 2012: View of the ancient beach of Herculaneum, Italy, between the coastal contructions (left) and the 25 meters of volcanic rock that buried the city for almost 2,000 years, on 2 August, 2012. <br />
<br />
The Herculaneum Conservation Project (HCP) is a public/private initiative launched in 2001 for the conservation and enhancement of the archaeological site of Herculaneum. This ancient Roman city in Italy was destroyed and buried along with Pompeii by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. It has a history of excavation dating back to the early eighteenth century.<br />
The project was set up by David W. Packard of the Packard Humanities Institute, together with Pietro Giovanni Guzzo of the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei, to take the measures necessary to provide a response to the serious condition of the site after decades of neglect.
