GENOA cradled
between land and sea, living and working in the port,
breathing its past in her palaces, passionately fond of the
terraced hills that embrace the city, Genoa has many
different faces. A modern metropolis and a severe custodian
of artistic heritage, an industrious marketplace that also
has century-old parks to relax in.Genoa hides her riches in
an historical centre that looks traditionally seaward yet at
the same time exhibits a new beauty achieved by restoring
the splendour of ages past. Youthfulness springs from the
new urban fabric that has restored works of arts and
architecture. |

Description - Ashdod - Jerusalem - Bethlehem - Israel |
 |
Ashdod emerged
in the seventeenth century BC as a Canaanean fortress city,
on the present-day Tel Ashdod. When sea people raided this
territory and the city was destroyed in the fourteenth
century BC, the Philistines settled there and turned it into
one of five important cities in their kingdom. At the
Israeli period, 1200-600 BC, Ashdod belonged to the tribe of
Judah territory which did not succeed to conquer it from the
Philistines and its name appears for the first time in the
biblical Book of Joshua. Thanks to its geographical
position, port, ramified road system, railway and the
infrastructure of electricity, water, energy and metals,
vast industrial territories, qualified and trained human
resources, help and guidance to the existing factories and
municipal services on a proper level – Ashdod turned into
one of Israel’s major and central cities. The Ashdod port is
the largest in Israel and one of the largest in the
Mediterranean. Due to the increased scope of cargos passing
through it and a forecast for still more significant
increase in the future, the billion-NIS-estimated program
has been developed which is already being applied and which
doubles the port capacity and provides high-level service
and modern equipment for cargo processing. |

Port Description - Naples - Italy |
 |
|
Naples It is said that
when one thinks of Naples, one thinks of music and
moonlight. While Milan may have its chic, Florence
its art and Rome its historical grandeur, Naples can
outdo them all on one count – its sheer napoletanitą.
This is a mixture of heart-stopping beauty,
life-threatening chaos and a strong sense of life
being lived to its limits. Squeezed in between
Europe’s second-largest active volcano on one side
and the sulphurous springs and boiling mud pools of
the Flegrean fields on the other, all hemmed in by
the blue bay around which the city clusters, Naples
is a city to discover… |
