At school with eTwinning by Virgilio Iandiorio
At school with eTwinning is an experience that you will not forget. Telling one ' s own eTwinning experience, having experienced this important didactic innovation from the beginning, can stand as a testimony, but also as an example of the things that can be achieved. Here is the eTwinning project realized a decade ago, or little more.
The involved schools: the French high school Lycée P. Caraminot in Égletons( France) and the high school Liceo D. Pascucci in Pietradefusi( Italy). The topic: the Latin culture let’ s. Imagine travelling " through time ", a holiday, like the ones we usually
do in the summer, going to the most disparate places.
Some students of the two schools agree to spend an intelligent holiday in the ancient Regio Campania, to rediscovery of Latin civilization. The protagonists: Mario, his classmate Tullia and their guests Silvie and Juliette, come from Limousin( took its name from the tribe of the Lemovices, under whom the area formed a civitas, or tribal association, of Gaul. Controlled by the Romans from about 50 BCE, the civitas was a part of the province of Aquitania), for a few weeks in Italy, to visit interesting cities and places of Campania and Samnium. It starts from Rome, heading towards the Campania felix, along the Via Appia.

On the external walls of the houses you can read many black or red writings: they are electoral posters that invite to vote for this or that candidate. They need to elect the duunviri and aediles, who will administer the city in the next year.
Women do not have the right to vote, but they actively participate in the election campaign. Like the owner and the maids of one of the most frequented inns of Pompeii, that of Asellina. located in via dell ' Abbondanza. The landlady personally runs her inn, on the street of the Abundance( a kind 5th street of New York of our age). At her inn you can enjoy a trendy cocktail of fast food, the « posca », obtained by mixing water, eggs, and sour wine. The wine of Asellina is renowned, warm in winter and cool in summer for the snow that is added to it. The restaurant has also another advantage: the service is excellent. An exception is made for my friends, because women are not usually served alcoholic drinks in public places, as Pliny says( Historiae Naturalis Libri, XIV, 89).
Wine producers in Pompeii are the Arriis; with them, also Asinio Proculo produces wine,. He is known for producing a particular wine: asiniano racemato, a wine d. o. c. in this age. The Vettiis brothers: Conviva and Restituto, are also very
