Sicilia

from Grand tour

Siamo in Sicilia e il nostro giro parte da Petralia Sottana, borgo arancione del Touring club italiano. Poi ci spostiamo a Poggioreale Antica: un borgo divenuto fantasma dopo il terremoto del 1968 ma che custodisce tesori che meriterebbero attenzione. Cammineremo sul cammino di San Giacomo e poi a Gibellina, entreremo nel museo delle trame mediterranee.E poi pedaliamo su due cammini che sono diventati anche itinerari cicloturistici: la Magna Via Francigena, 205 km da Palermo ad Agrigento in 5 tappe seguendo un sistema antichissimo di sentieri e strade interpoderali che veniva utilizzato da Greci, Romani, Bizantini, Arabi e Normanni e la Via dei Frati, itinerario di 166 chilometri, in otto tappe, da Caltanissetta a Cefalù.Nell'ultima parte della puntata siamo tra le province di Catania e Messina per scoprire due itinerari di trekking geograficamente vicini ma molto diversi tra loro. Partiamo dalle pendici dell'Etna con il Sentiero delle Ginestre, un cammino di circa 100 chilometri in sei tappe che attraversa boschi, colate laviche e paesi pedemontani fino ad arrivare al mare di Taormina. Poi ci spostiamo tra il mare e i monti Peloritani per camminare lungo l'Anello del Nisi, un percorso di circa 35 chilometri in tre tappe tra borghi, natura e panorami sullo Ionio.Qui sotto i link per ascoltare i percorsi raccontati da:A Ruota liberaSicilia: Magna Via Francigena e Via dei FratiA passo liberoSicilia: alla scoperta del Sentiero delle Ginestre e dell'Anello del Nisi

The History of China Podcast Ibnul Jaif Farabi / Light Knot Studios What does the world's oldest continuous civilization, with over 3,000 years of recorded history, have to teach us about power, philosophy, innovation, and human nature? "The History of China Podcast" delivers the epic saga of China in accessible, daily chapters, transforming a vast and complex past into a compelling narrative you can absorb in just minutes a day.This show chronicles the full sweep of China's story, from the mythical Xia Dynasty to the rise of the modern superpower. We explore the dazzling heights of Tang poetry and Song technology, the brutal calculus of Legalist statecraft, and the quiet wisdom of Daoist sages. Each episode focuses on a pivotal event, a transformative figure, or a defining idea—whether it's the construction of the Great Wall, the mind of Empress Wu, or the invention of paper money—weaving them into the grand tapestry of the dynastic cycle. The tone is authoritative yet vividly human, making emperors, poets, and peasants alike feel immediate and real.
