 Martini (festival) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In ancient Latvia, Martini (Mārtiņi) was the name of a festival, celebrated on November 10, marking the end of the fall and the beginning of winter.
The festival marks the passage from Usins to Martins, two horse deities.
Martini also marked the beginning of masquerading and sledding, among other winter activities.

 Martini   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A contemporary martini recipe, of course, is simply a varying ratio of gin and dry vermouth which is stirred or shaken with ice, then strained and garnished with any number of ingredients, the most common being an olive.
A "martini with a kiss," for example, is a drink in which gin is poured into a glass, along with a garnish, but the vermouth is omitted—the bottle is merely tapped on the glass, which is supposed to signify the kiss.
Hemmingway is said to have enjoyed his martinis at a gin and vermouth ratio of 15 to 1 (the standard ratio is 3 or 4 to 1).

Several stories have been circulating over the years about where and when the martini was created, and two of the most prevalent tales have a Martinez angle.
Another story says the martini was born in a bar on Ferry Street in downtown Martinez.
For a really good martini, Blalock likes to spray the vermouth into the glass, which gives it a film, and the drink has the scent and aroma of the vermouth while not being overwhelming.

This was the closing sentence of my review of Tancaruja's previous recording and it seems that my wish has come true: Ballu Furiosu is the fulfillment of all their promises, recorded live in the Garau Theater in Oristano, Italy in January 2004.
Featuring vocals by Valeria Martini, Giorgia Loi and Pino Martini, it offers a coherent, powerful, dedicated sound which, compared to their previous recording, seems to be coming from an entirely different band.
The result is a record that at times reminds me of the noted Grico ensemble Ghetonìa in the vitality, energy and beautiful sounds it offers, with the balance between the instruments and the vocals everything you want it to be and Valeria Martini's voice in exactly the right sonic place.
