TORONTO, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With three of Michelin’s most prominent guides unveiled in January, the exceptional restaurants of Four Seasons are embracing a new year and a renewed commitment to excellence. Sparkling under 27 Michelin stars across 19 restaurants, Four Seasons maintains the most Michelin Stars of any single luxury hospitality brand.

«There’s no question that the past year has brought unprecedented challenges to the culinary world and the broader hospitality industry – but through these difficult times, we grow stronger and adapt to deliver on our commitment to quality and excellence,» says Christian Clerc, President, Global Operations.  «Our Chefs and culinary teams around the world are continually evolving in order to find creative ways to offer our guests the best possible dining experiences. This year’s Michelin Guides reflect the passionate spirit, innovation and resilience that prevails throughout our kitchens and dining rooms worldwide.»

From chefs and kitchen teams to sommeliers and mixologists, Four Seasons employees have found new and creative ways to offer Michelin-starred experiences, whether on site, to go, or even in the comfort of one’s own home. For example, on New Year’s Eve, Parisians had the opportunity to dine on a multi-course menu prepared by the chefs of Le Cinq***, paired with wines from the legendary cellar of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris.  In Hong Kong, Chef Chan Yan Tak’s famous puddings from Lung King Heen*** are available for takeout to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and Florentines can enjoy a romantic dinner for two from Il Palagio* for Valentine’s Day, with surprise touches to create a memorable evening at home.

Whether taking out or dining in, guests can take comfort that the enhanced Four Seasons global health and safety program, Lead With Care, is implemented at every step of the guest and employee journey.

OXNARD, Calif., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As discerning travelers continue their search for much-needed experiences in the great outdoors amid changing travel habits, Bowlus, the world leader in performance luxury recreation vehicles, has provided a sophisticated solution with the release of the new Terra Firma model. The limited-edition travel trailer will feature enhancements including complex air and water filtration systems, pet-friendly accoutrements — such as remote temperature monitor and in-design bowls — as well as the addition of a smart brake controller, touch-screen power management, GPS tracking, 60-Second Hitch™ capabilities and an all-new ultra-comfort interior.

The unique aluminum teardrop shape of Bowlus travel trailers, paired with the latest technology and unparalleled craftsmanship using yacht-quality components, has made the brand the industry leader in carefree luxury land travel. The Bowlus Terra Firma edition is the evolution of the Bowlus story.

Pricing for the Bowlus Terra Firma begins at $265,000 and orders are currently being accepted for 2022.

«We are persistently working to find new ways to elevate the luxury land travel experience with elements that effortlessly enhance life’s precious moments,» said Geneva Long, Founder and CEO of Bowlus. «The Terra Firma edition continues the Bowlus tradition of bringing new technologies to the RV industry without adding more technology for technology’s sake.»

Terra Firma, which from Latin translates roughly to «solid earth» or «dry land,» is a reflection of the Bowlus philosophy grounded in sustainability, quality, performance, and uniqueness, with an eye for authenticity of design. The limited model also continues the Bowlus tradition of custom editions with bespoke flair, which have previously included the Lithium+, Artisanal Angler, and The Wave editions.

Exterior
Every Bowlus model begins as a hand-welded spaceframe, shaped from aluminum tubing by Bowlus artisans within 1/64th of an inch. Eighty panels of polished, high-strength aerospace aluminum are then meticulously fastened to the frame by more 5,000 aircraft-grade rivets, each scrutinized to meet aerospace specifications to be within 2/1000″ of the specification — approximately half the thickness of a human hair. Craftworkers then spend more than 100 hours polishing the exterior so the shell can get its iconic, mirror-bright reflection.

Based on the successful Endless Highways Performance Edition platform, the Terra Firma model includes as-standard two huge skylights in the main cabin and an outdoor kitchen ready setup, with electrical and propane outlets, which can additionally provide an emergency micro-charge to your electric vehicle.

The Bowlus shape always delivers superior performance with very safe road handling characteristics and, with a weight of under 3,200 lbs., it can be towed by the widest variety of vehicles of any travel trailer, including electric vehicles (EVs).

Since every Bowlus is personal, clients’ chosen names are also emblemized on the fender skirts just before delivery as a finishing touch.

Technology
Bowlus only embraces newness of technology when it speaks explicitly to the brand’s user group — the luxury land traveler — a segment in which Bowlus has long pioneered.

As the virtual world continues to consume a predominant position in many people’s lives, user-centric technology that improves customers’ lives has become an integral pillar of the Bowlus experience.

The Terra Firma edition presents a collection of new technological features. First, the inclusion of a smart brake controller for the triple-axis, motion-sensing accelerometer, provides highly responsive, smooth braking to any tow vehicle without any modifications. Also added for the Terra Firma edition is a user-intuitive touch screen panel displaying an instant overview of the proprietary Bowlus Power Management System, allowing settings to adjust intuitively and simply.

Looking ahead toward client’s changing needs during travel experiences, the Terra Firma also includes the addition of HEPA air filters, UVC lighting for disinfecting, and a freshwater filtration system to instill confidence and peace-of-mind.

Also, the inclusion of The 60 Second Hitch™ offers the easiest hitching (and most user-friendly) experience of any RV, and the debut of «Find My Bowlus» GPS tracking adds a level of security and peace of mind, allow chosen users to access one’s location to anticipate arrivals or view trip status to coordinate off-grid camping with friends and family.

The Terra Firma continues the incredible battery power introduced in the Endless Highways Performance Edition, boasting a lithium-iron-phosphate power system with 8 kWh offering up to two weeks of «off-grid» living without an external power source — twice the battery power compared to the original Endless Highways model. This impressive system rapidly charges in three to four hours and also includes heated floors for incomparable comfort during all four seasons.

Regarding the Bowlus Power Management System, by being connected via Bluetooth and the internet, the entire power management system can be managed remotely with adjustments easily accessible from a smartphone application. This includes dozens of silent heating settings along remote access to activate the heated floor system in advance of entry. Plus, with all outlets live at all times, conveniences such as the air conditioner and microwave are available for use without an outside power source.

Additionally, one will never find themselves stranded during a zero-emissions road trip with a Bowlus, as an external 110V outlet additionally can give an emergency micro-charge to an electric vehicle. With a full battery, this could extend EV SUVs currently on the market for up to 16 miles.

Interior
All Bowlus interiors are a luxurious palette of colors and textures, and the Terra Firma edition is no exception. The interiors are thoughtfully curated with fabrics that are transformed into designer seating and bedding by a brilliant seamstress team.

The new Terra Firma color story oozes with the relaxed vibe that comes with a lazy late afternoon watching a spectacular sunset. The Bowlus Terra Firma is about using color and details that build on a feeling of ultra-comfort. In the main cabin, seating in Field color is accented with piping in Open Sky. This grounding color story carries through with luxurious flooring and a stateroom featuring beautifully striped duvets and elegant headboards in Open Sky.

New for the Terra Firma is also the inclusion of the ultimate in Pet-Flex. With remote temperature monitoring, feeding bowls that slide out seamlessly from a drawer, and a personalized canine bed, every family member is comfortably included in the experience. For the first time, pet owners can feel confident that their pet is sitting comfortably with the assurance of temperature control why one is away from their Bowlus and their pet is resting.

The Terra Firma flexible environment allows one to concentrate on their personal narrative, be it an adrenaline-fueled adventure or a peaceful desert retreat. In this tradition, Bowlus also offers two distinctive Bespoke Customization Programs for those looking to add their personal touch and style to their interior. With each program, Chief Designer and CEO Geneva Long will work with clients to personalize their Bowlus from more than fifty-six million possible interior design combinations. As standard, all Bowlus models also include a hotel-style en suite bathroom and spacious, Zen-like bedroom, able to convert from two twin beds to an incredible king, accommodating all travel companions.

NAPLES, Italy, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A few years ago, Focus Magazine participated in an urban speleology expedition organized with the Naples Underground Association. Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea), lead by Founder and President Vincenzo Albertini, has been involved in exploring and conserving the subsoil of the city for years and has ensured that this geological feature still stands, functionally today. Here are some of the trinkets of knowledge that they picked up along the way.

From a geological perspective, Naples is one of a kind in the world as it is bedded on top of a thick layer of yellow tuff, which was the result of nearby volcanoes in Campi Flegrei, thousands of years ago. This eruption resulted in a cool, soft rock that proves easy to extract and manipulate. It was then in the fourth century BC that the Greeks founded the city of Neapolis and opened tuff quarries to procure blocks and materials suitable for building.

Under the expert lead of Vincenzo Albertini, Focus magazine explores the Naples of today, in particular that square between via della Sapienza, via dei Tribunali, San Biagio dei librai and corso Umberto, which rests on the old medieval city. They discovered that from an unassuming room, you can go down through a trap door into the Roman theater where Nero sang and played the lyre. Across from the nearby Piazza San Gaetano one can then make their way beneath the surface, into a system of galleries and cisterns from the Greek and Roman era. This finally leads to large rooms or bunkers that, during the last world war, were converted into air-raid shelters, complete with electricity.

Many tunnels in Naples were filled with the treasures of war, smuggled cigarettes and remains of criminal activity of old, however, just a few steps from Piazza San Gaetano, in the church of Purgatorio ad Arco, another unique adventure of mystery awaits, descending into the afterlife. Here one can find a large mass grave where, in a layer 50 feet deep, rest the remains of one and a half million people.

Since their visit, The Municipality of Naples has opened this mass grave to the public as a historical monument of compassion. Here, one can see 40 thousand skulls in a row, one on top of the other. It was here that the society found a sort of return to ancient religion as many people considered these skulls to be souls in purgatory which provided the assistance of ancestors, while they were still living.

Finally, Vicenzo Albertini leaves the Focus team with the closing explanation that, «It was in the First World War and then in the Second that, with so many missing … in the concentration camps, the custom of adopting a «cap ‘e mort» spread … The purpose was to communicate, through the skull of a stranger, with the soul of a loved one, to have news of him.»
