It’s an interview of Janine Foppes, a brave Dutch lady who opened a B&amp;amp;B in a small village in Molise (Ripabottoni) which didn’t know what a B&amp;amp;B ( and a tourist) was before hers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You can read the full article &lt;a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//www.primonumero.it/attualita/primopiano/articolo.php%3Fid%3D5814&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;langpair=auto%7Cen&amp;amp;tbb=1&amp;amp;ie=ISO-8859-1"&gt;(automatically translated in English) here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I just want to quote here a brief part of her interview:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janine&lt;/strong&gt;: “In &lt;a href="http://www.provincia.campobasso.it/ambiente/banca_dati/imm_comuni/ripabottoni.jpg"&gt;Ripabottoni&lt;/a&gt; – a small village with a population of 673- at least 10 Dutch families bought a house. Some of them already requested the residency”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Journalist&lt;/strong&gt;: “But what the hell they do here (in such small insignificant village)"?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janine&lt;/strong&gt;: “They relax in their homes, the sometimes go the the beach (preferably not in summer), read, make long walks in the nature, get acquainted with the locals, becoming their good friends. This is the right place to live, not just for holiday.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.s. For the entrepreneurs: if you need help in bringing Dutch people to Molise or your services to them, &lt;a href="mailto:quarantavitale@gmail.com"&gt;I am here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;***************************************************&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;Dopo i post precedenti sull’attenzione d parte di media “mainstream” per questo particolare fenomeno, riporto l’articolo pubblicato ieri da un sito di notizie locali sullo stesso argomento. Si tratta di un intevista a Janine Foppes, coraggiosa signora olandese che ha aperto un B&amp;amp;B in un piccolo paesino molisano (Ripabottoni) che non sapeva cosa fosse il turismo, fino a qualche anno fa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;Qui è possibile leggere &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.primonumero.it/attualita/primopiano/articolo.php?id=5814"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;l’articolo per intero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;Voglio riportare qui solo un breve brano dell’intervista.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Domanda:&lt;/strong&gt; “Un progetto insolito per il Molise terremotato e spopolato. Funziona, la sua attività?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Risposta&lt;/span&gt;: “&lt;/b&gt;Per il momento funziona bene. Da maggio a ottobre sono sempre piena di ospiti. Arrivano olandesi che vogliono scoprire la bellezza di questi luoghi, canadesi, svedesi, ma anche emigranti partiti da qui tanti anni fa che tornano d’estate e cercano un posto dove soggiornare. Qui è bello, c’è tutto lo spazio che si desidera, quella tranquillità che per esempio in Olanda manca. Lì c’è troppa gente che vive in spazi ridotti, così si ha sempre la sensazione di soffocare. Qui invece la vita è serena, il tempo batte al ritmo del cuore.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008040;"&gt;P.S. Per gli imprenditori: ho contatti con questi olandesi (in Italia e Olanda) da oltre tre anni. Ne ho portati in Molise (e aiutato) parecchi. Se qualcuno ha bisogno del mio aiuto per proporre servizi e prodotti agli amici olandesi, io &lt;a href="mailto:quarantavitale@gmail.com"&gt;sono qui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37376107-8674869652650914696?l=aadimolise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/feeds/8674869652650914696/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37376107&amp;postID=8674869652650914696' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/8674869652650914696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/8674869652650914696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/11/nice-story-of-dutch-expat-in-italy-una.html' title='A nice story of a Dutch expat… in Italy! – Una bella storia di una olandese emigrata… in Molise'/><author><name>Michele Vitale</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568</uri><email>quarantavitale@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03920719108254092140'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-1167202237768235930</id><published>2009-10-31T17:25:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T17:53:07.528+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Come  (spero pochi) olandesi vedono noi italiani.

The news service was aired yesterday by by TG3 Molise (the local division of RAI National TV).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;It follows an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/10/north-european-moving-to-live-in-quiet.html"&gt;article published a few weeks ago&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; by the weekly magazine of Corriere della Sera (the Italian most important newspaper)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; When I watch it, it gives me mixed feelings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;On the one hand I am pleased: over the past four years I dedicated &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/02/il-molise-incanta-amsterdam_04.html"&gt;a lot of efforts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; promoting Molise in Holland and Holland in Molise. The fact that now this phenomenon is deemed worthy of attention by maintream media (and the TG3 and Corriere della Sera are pretty much mainstream) is a sign that at last here in Molise, someone is starting to notice the phenomenon. Even though "only" 10 years after the first families have bought their house here.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;On the other side I am disappointed. How on earth is it possible that 10 years and tens of millions of euros invested by these Dutch families in our rural villages have not been enough to draw the attention of even one of our local building entrepreneurs from their conformist sleep (during all these years they all have been producing just... concrete, basically)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; And this is even more disappointing because the building industry in Molise is one of the few thriving ones (perhaps the only).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; In other words, we had the luck to assist to this spontaneous positive form of investment by Dutch people who buy and recover remains in our inner villages (which otherwise would be doomed to abandonment) and we do nothing. Yet often we assist to the birth of brave forms of entrepreneurship from the Dutch people themselves (they sell services centered around this business).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Then one day, we'll probably see some entrepreneurs a little more cultured, probably from abroad, who will buy a whole village, and transform it into a unique investment opportunity, as has already happened in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;amp;source=web&amp;amp;ct=res&amp;amp;cd=3&amp;amp;ved=0CBEQFjAC&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.italymag.co.uk%2Fshop%2Fitaly-featured%2Fabruzzo%2Fsanto-stefano-di-sessanio-abruzzo&amp;amp;ei=ncvkSvXGEYSSsAb47NiCAw&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNFhGTd_FJebNvuJiCCyd1e9FEj3AA&amp;amp;sig2=CCdjy9biTi01PpGWpEA9KA"&gt;Santo Stefano di Sessanio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; or &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/2009/aug/15/unusual-hotel-italy-cave-dwellings?page=all"&gt;Matera&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; And people from Molise will watch again, this time a little less indifferent, and a little more envious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guardate un pò il servizio del TG3 Molise qui sopra, andato in onda sabato scorso.&lt;br /&gt;Segue di qualche giorno &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/10/north-european-moving-to-live-in-quiet.html"&gt;l'articolo di Monica Vignale&lt;/a&gt; pubblicato da Io Donna del Corriere della Sera.&lt;br /&gt;La sua visione suscita in me sentimenti contrastanti.&lt;br /&gt;Da un lato sono compiaciuto: è da ormai quattro anni che mi occupo di questo fenomeno, &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/02/il-molise-incanta-amsterdam_04.html"&gt;promuovendo il Molise in Olanda&lt;/a&gt; e gli &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2006/11/evento-europa-in-molise-291006.html"&gt;olandesi in Molise&lt;/a&gt;, e il fatto che tutto ciò sia ritenuto degno dell'attenzione mediatica maintream (e il tg3 e IoDonna sono abbastanza mainstream, no?) è un segno che finalmente anche qui in Molise, 10 anni dopo che le prime famiglie si sono insediate - ad oggi sono una ventina) qualcuno finalmente sta cominciando ad accorgersi del fenomeno. E questo è un bene, per tutti noi.&lt;br /&gt;Dall'altro lato sono amareggiato: possibile che 10 anni e decine di milioni di euro investiti da questi olandesi nei nostri borghi non sono stati sufficenti a far svegliare nemmeno uno degli imrenditori nostrani dal torpore conformistico (cemento, cemento, cemento!) cui sono costretti?&lt;br /&gt;E dire che quella edile in Molise è una delle poche industrie fiorenti (forse l'unica) : potremmo forse dimenticare i virtuosismi espressi dall'industria edile a San Giuliano di Puglia? O il lucroso fermento edilizio di Termoli?&lt;br /&gt;Insomma: abbiamo olandesi che girano nei nostri paesini e recuperano in maniera straordinaria ruderi destinati all'abbandono (spesso anche guadagnandoci, e vendendo servizi e consulenze), restituendo vita a graziosi paesini che altrimenti sarebbero destinati a morte certa e noi lasciamo fare così, con indifferenza.&lt;br /&gt;Poi, un giorno, constateremo che qualche imprenditore un pò più acculturato, magari straniero, si comprerà un paese intero, e lo trasformerà una straordinaria opportunità di investimento, come del resto è già successo a &lt;a href="http://www.appenninik.com/luoghi/luomo-che-rifa-i-vecchi-paesi-santo-stefano-di-sessanio"&gt;Santo Stefano di Sessanio&lt;/a&gt;  o a &lt;a href="http://www.sassiweb.it/news/archivio-news/dettaglio-articolo/article/sextantio-albergo-diffuso-nei-sassi/"&gt;Matera&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;E noi molisani staremo a guardare, stavolta un pò meno indifferenti, e un pò più invidiosi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37376107-966238462140775608?l=aadimolise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/feeds/966238462140775608/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37376107&amp;postID=966238462140775608' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/966238462140775608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/966238462140775608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/10/dutch-people-molise-italy-and-lost.html' title='The Dutch people, Molise (Italy) and the lost opportunities - Il Molise, l&amp;#39;Olanda e le opportunità sprecate'/><author><name>Michele Vitale</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568</uri><email>quarantavitale@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03920719108254092140'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-4539609532273153928</id><published>2009-10-10T17:54:00.013+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T21:13:10.583+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The line between good and bad business behaviour - Affari buoni e affari cattivi</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/StLkosGp-RI/AAAAAAAAAtU/qYdrsxbz0o0/s1600-h/arket.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/StLkosGp-RI/AAAAAAAAAtU/qYdrsxbz0o0/s400/arket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391623091600881938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;(italiano più sotto)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend and business partner Francesco, a local olive oil and cheese maker, started a few days ago harvesting of his olive trees.&lt;br /&gt;He talks about this in his last post (you can read it &lt;a href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/2009/10/inizia-la-raccolta-delle-olive-annata-difficile.html"&gt;here in Italian&lt;/a&gt; and here in &lt;a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//parcodeibuoi.com/2009/10/inizia-la-raccolta-delle-olive-annata-difficile.html&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;langpair=auto%7Cen&amp;amp;tbb=1&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8"&gt;English automatic translation&lt;/a&gt;), saying straight (without hiding) that the harvest this year will have problems: part of the trees took a disease, due to the particular climatic condition of this summer, which will eventually  lower the quantity and slightly alter the flavour of his product (though not substantially).&lt;br /&gt;Now I will explain why, in my opinion, this post is good news and not bad news.&lt;br /&gt;Think about it yourself, why should Francesco be so CRAZY to tell you (his potential customer) about the problems of his oil?&lt;br /&gt;Well, my answer is because he's different, like his oil.&lt;br /&gt;Almost nobody out there is telling you the truth. Maybe other producers' trees can't get diseases? Maybe their product is always good  and has  the same flavour each year?&lt;br /&gt;Well, it may be so, but certainly not for "natural" reasons...&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, we could not explain incredible discoveries between the shelves of our supermarket like &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-hiding-under-labels-of-extravirgin.html"&gt;these &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-under-labels-of-olive-oil-2.html"&gt;these&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Francesco is different because he puts his face in his business and tells and show you straight (&lt;a href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/"&gt;in his blog&lt;/a&gt;) what making  olive oil truly means, good and the bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing is, when we go after buying an olive oil bottle, maybe heavily advertised on TV as "perfect, delicious, genuine", we want to know who's behind that label.&lt;br /&gt;Because there are few who are telling the truth, and whom we can trust.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Update 14 october 2009&lt;/span&gt;: Paul, a Dutch importer, wrote this insightful comment to my post:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I like your blog but...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The information from this English consumer test is what  &lt;span class="il"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; can expect from average consumers. The less an olive oil taste the more they  will like it. This is the case in The Netherlands and I think even more in the  UK.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The German test is more serious.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;If &lt;span class="il"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; want to compare olive oil one should also check  when it was bottled, how it was produced - hydraulic, one or 2-phase centrifuge  and the type ove olives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="il"&gt;You&lt;/span&gt; cannot compare Ligurian old-fashioned hydraulic style  oil with Sicilian centrifuged oil - it is amazing that the term "cold pressed"  is used for the oil that isn't pressed at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It is a pity that even Slowfood isn't interested in the  way the oil is made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;As &lt;span class="il"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt; can understand I'm an old-fashioned guy who support  old traditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Paul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Francesco Travaglini (disclaimer: amico mio, con cui sto realizzando alcuni progetti) ha cominciato qualche giorno fa la raccolta delle olive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Nel suo dettagliato resoconto (che &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/2009/10/inizia-la-raccolta-delle-olive-annata-difficile.html"&gt;potete leggere qui&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;) senza mezzi termini vi dice che quest'anno la raccolta avrà problemi, spiegandone esattamente i motivi e le conseguenze (negative).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Però io vorrei dirvi perchè, secondo me, il suo post è comunque una bella notizia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Pensateci un attimo: perchè Francesco dovrebbe dire a voi (potenziali acquirenti)  che questa non è stata una buona annata?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Beh, la mia risposta è: perchè il &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;produttore &lt;/span&gt;Francesco è diverso dagli altri produttori, come del resto l'olio che produce.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Perchè la maggioranza dei produttori (ma non tutti, per fortuna), sopratutto i grossi, non vi dice la verità, o vi dice vere e proprie balle, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://trashfood.com/2009/08/dossier-olivenol-gli-oli-extravergine-nei-supermercati-tedeschi.html"&gt;come queste&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Forse che gli atri produttori non si beccano i parassiti della pianta? Forse che il loro olio ha sempre lo stesso identico e "genuino" sapore tutti gli anni?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Può essere, ma certamente non per motivi "genuini".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;

Il &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;produttore &lt;/span&gt;Francesco è diverso, perchè in quello che fa ci mette la sua faccia, oltre che la sua passione, scrivendo per filo e per segno quello che succede nel suo oliveto tramite il &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt; Allora quando compriamo una bottiglia di olio, magari una di quelle pubblicizzate come italiane (anche se sono spagnole) cerchiamo di andare oltre l'etichetta e capire chi/cosa c'è dietro, e scegliere di conseguenza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;

The rest of them were not compliant; nevertheless these oil were bottled by their rutheless producers with a label they did not deserve and that was, basically, false.&lt;br /&gt;And guess what? Carapelli, one of the exposed companies, sued the journalist who wrote the article for libel and... lost the trial!!&lt;br /&gt;My personal reaction to this story? &lt;a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-hiding-under-labels-of-extravirgin.html"&gt;As I wrote in my former post&lt;/a&gt;, meet or get to know the farmer and, once you trust him, buy from him, even online!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://trashfood.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Source: Gianna Ferretti's blog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37376107-4538802113592552111?l=aadimolise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/feeds/4538802113592552111/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=37376107&amp;postID=4538802113592552111' title='3 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/4538802113592552111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/37376107/posts/default/4538802113592552111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-under-labels-of-olive-oil-2.html' title='The lies under the labels of olive oil / 2'/><author><name>Michele Vitale</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568</uri><email>quarantavitale@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03920719108254092140'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/Srtf9DE3m0I/AAAAAAAAAsA/iTgBZzHjqWo/s72-c/olio.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-6138136411155276005</id><published>2009-09-16T23:50:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-25T10:00:14.563+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Why not exchange your used NINTENDO WII for a free holiday in a BB  in Sicily? - Baratto: NINTENDO WII anche usata per una vacanza nel loro BB!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/SrFf7lMNJmI/AAAAAAAAAr4/4YA5A40iWmY/s1600-h/sshot-1.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382188506884679266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 115px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/SrFf7lMNJmI/AAAAAAAAAr4/4YA5A40iWmY/s400/sshot-1.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="mobile-photo"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/SrFdwXr1WaI/AAAAAAAAArw/xXMTOHGGhgk/s1600-h/sshot-1-757126.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;You are bored of your Nintendo?

Because the results prove that we consumers are subject to a serious scam.&lt;br /&gt;The scam is organized by the biggest (in quantity) olive oil producers and consists, basically, in lying to the consumers. In saying that the oil is Italian when it's not. In saying that the oil is extravirgin when it's only virgin or less, in telling them that it's valuable (because it has a high price tag) when, in reality, its value it's less than other far cheaper and better competitors.&lt;br /&gt;All this scam has been unveiled by the results of the Which? magazine, which were published also by the&lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/want-the-best-olive-oil-then-save-yourself-some-money-1758556.html"&gt; other English magazines&lt;/a&gt; (but not, surprisingly, by the Italian press).&lt;br /&gt;A blind tasting by a panel of olive oil experts found that cheap bottles sold in hard discounts were better (and far cheaper) than those at the most pricey and acclaimed supermarkets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consumer group described the hard discount oils as 'exceptional value', each receiving four stars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other supermarket and branded extra-virgin oils were disappointing, with lower ratings (but higher price).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Which?&lt;/span&gt; magazine said: "You don't have to dig deep in your wallet to get good quality. Of the 12 supermarket and branded extra virgin olive oils our experts tasted, two of our best buys are from budget supermarkets and, per 100ml, they're by far the cheapest on test - giving them both 'exceptional value'."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The consumer group added that, no matter how good an oil, it had to be stored in a cool, dark place to avoid losing its freshness.&lt;br /&gt;Among their less favoured bottles, Carapelli's oil tasted of "stale nuts", despite costing 84p per 100ml (the costliest of the group).&lt;br /&gt;Now comes the sad part. You may think that Carapelli is Italian, right? Because the name is Italian, and the brand reads "Carapelli Firenze".&lt;br /&gt;And come on there is this ad :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/Sq4z4aFqBjI/AAAAAAAAArQ/9b2ZarEyXi0/s1600-h/carapelli2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/Sq4z4aFqBjI/AAAAAAAAArQ/9b2ZarEyXi0/s400/carapelli2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381295648923059762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;which &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;looks&lt;/span&gt; definitely Italian!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, the ad may look Italian but Carapelli is not! Carapelli was bought by the Spanish multinational SOS Cuertara which also bought Dante and Sasso (formerly Italian brands). And it is known, among the experts (but not the consumers! and how could they know with ads like that and lying labels...) that Carapelli has only a small percentage of Italian olives in his blend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This situation is a real pain not only for the entire Italian food industry, but also, more sadly, for the honest and extraordinary Italian farmers who produce a really excellent olive oil. They are often forced to sell below cost their oil, because of the commercial power of mulinational brands and mass distribution organizations. Even worse,they may be forced to sell or close their activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This issue has been extensively investigated in the past by other journalists, like &lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/08/13/070813fa_fact_mueller?currentPage=1"&gt;Tom Mueller of the New Yorker&lt;/a&gt;. He's writing also a book on the subject. The title? “Extra Virginity: A Cultural and Criminal History of Olive Oil”. :-(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal reaction and suggestion to this scam is: don't trust the ads, because people who make them doesn't deserve your trust (and money).

Se ne sente parlare molto, in questi giorni.&lt;br /&gt;"E' un modo  di concepire la spesa per i prodotti alimentare che fa bene all'ambiente" viene detto.&lt;br /&gt;La "spesa a chilometri zero" è quell'assioma per cui meno chilometri i cibi percorrono prima di giungere sulle nostre tavole, meglio è per l'ambiente. Ultimamente Coldiretti (e nel recente passato anche Slowfood) la sta spingendo molto, quasi fosse la panacea per i problemi dei piccoli produttori.&lt;br /&gt;Ebbene IMHO non lo è, anzi.&lt;br /&gt;Quest'assioma è un assurdo, e l'unica cosa che può portare è  grave danno agli agricoltori che ne dovessero essere coinvolti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Punto primo: la presunta "compatibilità ambientale del chilometro zero" è tutta da dimostrare.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Guardate questo grafico, frutto di uno &lt;a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/14664871/Go-Green-Report-2008"&gt;studio del Green Design Institute&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///tmp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/SmhzEar5b9I/AAAAAAAAAqY/yvWH7nzwdgI/s1600-h/ecommerce-vs-tradiitona-retail-charts2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 398px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WcU3k9eygdI/SmhzEar5b9I/AAAAAAAAAqY/yvWH7nzwdgI/s400/ecommerce-vs-tradiitona-retail-charts2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361661876104687570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mostra i consumi energetici e l'inquinamento generato da un acquisto di prodotto online (centinaia o migliaia i km percorsi) e quelli generati da una spesa privata presso mercati locali.&lt;br /&gt;Il motivo arcano di questo sorprendente risultato (la spesa online è più eco-friendly di quella presso mercati locali) è presto chiarito: 100 macchine che si muovono autonomamente per fare una (piccola) spesa in mercati magari distanti qualche km da casa, consumano e inquinano più dei pochi Tir e furgoni usati per il trasporto di grandi quantitativi di merce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Punto secondo: ve l'immaginate cosa succederebbe se la Coldiretti (o chi per essa) ci costringesse (come in effetti oggi sta educatamente invitando a fare) ad acquistare esclusivamente prodotti provenienti entro un raggio di 50km dalle nostre città? Già vedo i veneti, i pugliesi o i campani bloccare i Tir carichi delle nostre prelibatezze molisane al grido "iatevenn!!!"...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo si chiama protezionismo.

alt="" /&gt;Un paio di riflessioni prese da www.trivagoitalia.blogspot, che meritano profonda meditazione e diffusione :&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PURCHE' SE NE PARLI, MA NEL WEB&lt;/span&gt;. Cosi si puo riassumere il momento del marketing turistico alberghiero dove il passaparola online non e' piu' un'opzione, ma un importante strumento di promozione, a costi zero, sforzi minimi, ma con un'unica rihiesta: vietata l'allergia al web e la "webofobia", malattia che colpisce anche le generazioni piu' giovani che non vanno oltre al proprio profilo su &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/trivagoit/86508503468"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;. Chi non riesce ad avvicinarsi a Internet e ai social network perche' non li capisce, perche' pensa che puo' evitarli o perche' non capisce quale sia la relazione con il turismo, viene penalizzato piu' di tutti. Lasciate fare a chi ha un po' di dimestichezza in piu' con la materia, un nipote, uno zio webofilo, un professionista, leggete qualcosa in piu', fate una telefonata, chiedete... in genere siamo tutti molto pazienti, anche a trivago, e ci piace capire come si recepisce una quasi novita' come trivago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;IL LIBRO DEI RICORDI&lt;/span&gt; Questo pomeriggio mi e' capitato di parlare con un albergatrice di un paesello vicino a Paestum che mi diceva che i suoi ospiti la recensicono nel suo Libro degli ospiti e che tiene commenti piu' che lusinghieri... &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Signora, il libro dei ricordi non serve a nessuno - le ho detto - una parola su carta non va da nessuna parte!".&lt;/span&gt; Nel raccontare questa cosa, mi e' venuta addosso una certa tristezza. Ho da qualche parte nella mia casa d'origine diari di viaggio, lettere mai spedite, la classica scatola dei ricordi impolverata, che mi crea certamente emozioni diverse rispetto ad un nuovo post nel mio wall su Faceb., un saluto su Twitt, un vecchio amico che mi contatta su Linkdin, una mail, un mio racconto su un blog... A livello personale, niente e' paragonabile a quello che su carta viene dedicato e condiviso tra due persone, pochi intimi, te e me, me e me. Ma oggi le cose sono cambiate molto e la signora del paesello vicino a &lt;a href="http://www.trivago.it/capaccio-paestum-45486"&gt;Paestum &lt;/a&gt;si deve adattare. La "dedica", se c'e' la voglia di scriverla e farla, va fatta online.
