 Technologies :: C-Thru
Manufactured by CyTech in Italy and designed by GoLite, this revolutionary chamois features 100% polyester stretch thermo-formed free-moving panels and supple open cell foam with the performance advantage of C-Thru Endurance to wick away and dissipate moisture.
The difference between the Endurance Chamois and a conventional chamois is like the difference between 7- and 4-panels -- it contributes to a much better-fitting short.
In other words, the chamois can move and stretch in different ways at the same time, in perfect concert with your body.

 Rustico: Cured Meat
Prosciutto di San Daniele hails from the small town of San Daniele in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in Italy’s’ northeast, and is sweeter and less salty than Prosciutto di Parma, which is a specialty of Emilia-Romagna.
Clockwise from top left: Slicing homemade Prosciutto during one of my cooking tours in Umbria; a platter of Italian salumi; wild boar is transformed into hearty hams, salamis, and more in Italy.
Whether they are made of pork, as is most often the case, or of beef, veal, buck, goat, chamois, venison, sheep, wild boar, or horse, cured meats (salumi in Italian) were born of a need to conserve meat for months after the slaughter of the animal.

 DolceVita Travel: The Maritime Alps
Today much of the region in both Italy and France are protected natural reserves - in recent years the ibex population has made an strong comeback, and one may find chamois and marmots here as well.
Though the range lies along the present border between Italy and France, historically it was a domain of the Savoia family, who became kings of Italy in 1861.
Any trip to the Maritime Alps can be easily combined with a sojourn at the sea, as they are less than an hour from the coast.

A part of the documentary dwells on the typical fauna of the Appenines: the Abruzzo chamois, the Marsican wolf and bear, which are exclusive to Italy, and the royal eagle.
Despite grat industrial development and a high population density, Italy is one of the few European countries which still has inestimable natural treasures that are protected by inaccessible mountains, long stretches of rocky or sandy coastline, and still unspoilt marshes.
The first part (FROM THE ALPS TO THE APPENINES) looks at animals living in the mountain areas, in particular in the national parks: the steinbocks of the Gran Paradiso, the lynx and otter, the goshawk of the conifer forests, the pellegrine hawk which is shown hunting in spectacular sequences.

 Passage Of The St. Gothard And Descent Into Italy
Behind the village of Hospiz, which stands at the bottom of the valley leading to Realp and the Furca pass, the way commences, winding backwards and forwards, higher and higher, through a valley covered with-rocks, with the mighty summits of the Alps around, untenanted save by the chamois and mountain eagle.
We stood at the union of three valleys-that leading to St. Gothard, terminated by the glaciers of the Bernese Oberland, that running off obliquely to the Splugen, and finally the broad vale of the Ticino, extending to Lago Maggiore, whose purple mountains closed the vista.
The limit of the German dialect is on the summit of St. Gothard, and the peasants saluted us with a "buon giorno," as they passed.

 Alps - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Alps
He lives on the sea, as prairie cocks in the prairie; he hides among the waves, he climbs them as chamois hunters climb the Alps.
The Dolomite range in northeast Italy, with its imposing jagged pinnacles and sharp ridges, takes its name from this rock.
The Alps were formed during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs as a result of pressure exerted on the Tethyan geosyncline (sedimentary deposits in the ancestral Tethys Sea), as its strata were squeezed against the stable Eurasian landmass by the northward moving African landmass.

 Ötzi the Iceman -
Ötzi the Iceman (also spelled Oetzi and known also as Frozen Fritz) is the modern nickname of a well-preserved natural mummy of a man from about 3300 BC, found in 1991 in a glacier of the Ötztal Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy.
Analysis of Ötzi's gut contents showed two meals (the last one about eight hours before his death), one of chamois meat, the second of red deer meat, both consumed with some grain (indicating the presence of agriculture in the region) as well as some roots and fruits.
Other items found with the Iceman were a copper axe with a yew handle, a flint knife with an ash handle, a quiver full of arrows with viburnum and dogwood shafts and flint heads, and an unfinished yew longbow that was taller than he was.

 No. 2 - Autumn 1994
The histopatological findings showed that 12 chamois and 4 ibex were affected by inflammatory alterations of the brain, represented by: foci of nono-purulent leptomeningitis as small accumulations of mononuclear cells; perivascular cuffings in the cerebral hemispheres; severe infiltration of lymphocytes in the choroid plexus fo the cerebral ventricles.
Abstract - During an eight year study on the ethology and ecology of the alpine marmot (Marmota marmota L.), carried out in the Gran Paradiso National Park, Aosta, Italy, 41 young marmots were individually recognized and data on birth rate, litter size, permanence beyond maturity, and productivity were recorded.
The differences found in comparison to other geographical areas might be related to the high turnover rate of social groups and indirectly to the harshness of the habitat where the study area is located.

 Ann Radcliffe : The Mysteries of Udolpho : Chapter I
Madame Montoni only shuddered as she looked down precipices near whose edge the chairmen trotted lightly and swiftly, almost, as the chamois bounded, and from which Emily too recoiled; but with her fears were mingled such various emotions of delight, such admiration, astonishment, and awe, as she had never experienced before.
Meanwhile the carriers, having come to a landing-place, stopped to rest, and the travellers being seated on the point of a cliff, Montoni and Cavigni renewed a dispute concerning Hannibal's passage over the Alps, Montoni contending that he entered Italy by way of Mount Cenis, and Cavigni, that he passed over Mount St. Bernard.
The subject brought to Emily's imagination the disasters he had suffered in this bold and perilous adventure.
