Encyclopedia > San Pellegrino

Pellegrino (verb): To purposefully and maliciously pretend to be engaged in work so that fellow co-workers are saddled with the entire day's workload while you doodle, highlight previously completed work, or copy and paste useless, verbose, repetitious passages from technical references. Derived from Pellegrino "Bill" Gilberti- the infamous pharmacist who elevated the art of Pellegrinoing such that he has not done a single honest hour of work in the last five years. Used in a sentence: "Man, today was such a bad day at work - I was pellegrinoed to death while Bill just laughed and played."

San Pellegrino (also S. Pellegrino) is a mineral water with added carbonation, produced and bottled at San Pellegrino Terme, in Lombardy, Italy. The water originates from a layer of rock 400 m (1,300 ft) below the surface, where it is mineralized from contact with limestone and volcanic rocks. It emerges from three deep springs at a temperature of about 22°C (70°F). [1]. The surrounding area is highly favorable for the formation of the mineral water basin from the replenishment point, located on the Dolomite range. The water then seeps to great depths of over 700 m (2,200 ft) where it begins its long subterranean journey to an aquifer. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

History

During the 600 years of San Pellegrino production, numerous important events have happened.[2] In 1395, the borders of the town "San Pellegrino", were drawn, marking the start of its water industry. Leonardo da Vinci visited the town in 1509 to examine and try its "miraculous" water. He later wrote a treatise on the subject. [2] In 1782, the water was analyzed for the first time. The results show that the water is remarkably similar to that of today. In 1899, 35,343 bottles were produced, 5,562 of which were exported, the first recorded sale figures. Nine years later, in 1908, San Pellegrino was exported to the main European cities, as well as Cairo, Tangiers, Shanghai, Calcutta, USA, Brazil, Peru and Sydney. “Da Vinci” redirects here. ... 1509 was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Several years later in 1932, a variant of San Pellegrino was introduced to the market: Aranciata (orangeade). It was a soda that had San Pellegrino as the majority of the ingredient, but with concentrated orange juice added. Today, San Pellegrino also produces carbonated beverages in other various flavors: Limonata (lemonade), Sanbittèr (bitters), and Chinò (chinotto).

Just over 30 years later, in 1968, San Pellegrino appeared on the front cover of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer. On April 20, 1970, the official name of the company became San Pellegrino SpA. Later in the year, it was the leading beverage company in Italy, demonstrating the company profits. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the water continued to expand and grow. Later in 1988, San Pellegrino was the first Italian water to be exported to France. In the same year, San Pellegrino became part of Nestlé. Fifteen years later in 2003, a 75 cl format reached US$10 in New York City restaurants, where 65,000 bottles are sold every day in the city.[citation needed] Image File history File links An aluminum can for the Aranciata orange-flavored beverage manufactured by San Pellegrino. ...

Chiesa di San Antonio (383 words)
Pellegrino was well appreciated by Friulian families that commissioned him to paint many important works.
Even from the earliest paintings, the master of San Daniele showed a thorough knowledge of the innovations in painting that were gaining ground outside the Friulian milieu, and he turned his attention first to Bellini and Mantegna and then to Cima da Conegliano, Bartolomeo Montagna and to the painters of Ferrara.
Back in Friuli, he gave proof of the artistic maturity he had acquired, in such paintings as Annunciazione dei Calzolai(The Cobblers' Annunciation),in the portelle (shutters) of the organ in the Cathedral of Udine, and of course in the resumption of the cycle of frescoesin the church of Sant'Antonio Abate.
