Le limonaie della villa medicea di Castello e il giardino antistante la grotta degli Animali
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to present the new studies carried out on the “Limonaie” of Villa Castello. A part of the work concerned the investigation of the iconographic documentation kept in the State Archives of Florence, where it was possible to find important unpublished data on the design genesis of the “Limonaie” between the 18th and 19th centuries, which in the current configuration includes a greater “Limonaia” and two opposing minor “Limonaie”.A laser scanner survey campaign has also been specifically designed, involving the three “Limonaie” and the part of the garden between them. On the basis of this 3D model, plans, sections and elevations were developed and studied, obtaining new considerations on building features, decorative elements and the relationships between these architectural artefacts.The correlation of the results achieved by the archival and diagnostic investigations has cast light on the realisation of the complex of the “Limonaie”, showing its peculiarities and construction phases, and this in turn has created the knowledge base for the design of future adaptations and restorations

Get PDFMorphological and Syntactic (non-)finiteness. A Comparison between English and Balkan Languages
Get PDFIn English, finiteness has an extremely limited realization in morphology and is almost exclusively defined in syntax. In particular, there are two main morphological forms, the stem and the stem followed by the -ed ending, which function as finite or as non-finite (infinitive, participle) depending on the syntactic context. We propose that the main split of English is aspectual and tense and mood specifications are derived by the syntactico-semantic context. Importantly, there is no necessary connection between the form that non-finite complementation takes in English and the reduced inflectional paradigm of the language. Geg Albanian and Romanian are richly inflected languages. Yet the short infinitive of Romanian coincides with the verb stem; the Geg Albanian verb stem externalizes the infinitive (paskajore) and participle. Therefore in Balkan languages as well, non-finiteness is defined by syntactic context. Specific attention is paid to the role of the subject and of prepositional introducers in disambiguating the relevant verb forms
L’apprendimento linguistico tra parametri e transfer
Get PDFThis article investigates the relation between L1 and L2 in the light of the transfer phenomena. More precisely a revision of the UG notion and parameter is proposed on the basis of the mentalist model proposed within the bio-linguistic program in some recent works by Chomsky. The idea being discussed here is that parameterization is a phenomenon associated with the externalization of linguistic expressions in terms of lexical and morpho-syntactic properties, on the basis of the basic properties of language. The notion of language coincides with a specialized cognitive capability, i.e. the combinatory mechanism (Merge), whereas its application implies the interaction with the external interpretive systems, namely sensory-motor and conceptual-intentional systems. As a consequence, transfer, as depending on the morpho-lexical organization of languages, is a mechanism that does not call into question the cognitive nature of language. On the contrary, we have to look at transfer as the natural solution for the acquisition of L2.
Roboable project: educational robotics for inclusive didactics
Get PDFRoboable is a project aimed at weak users: the goal is to create a new edutainment tool that can convey therapeutic and rehabilitative contents. Moreover, the aim is to make technology accessible to create a playful and didactic tool that can also be loaded with therapeutic contents. The project draws inspiration from the expressive potential of the mask, already a well-known tool used by psychotherapy in order to bring out emotions and feelings. Once identified with the device, users have the opportunity to express their emotions; they are also motivated to maintain a high level of concentration and collaboration. Progetto Roboable: didattica inclusiva con la robotica educativaRoboable è un progetto rivolto all’utenza debole: l’obiettivo è la creazione di un nuovo strumento di intrattenimento educativo in grado di veicolare contenuti terapeutici e riabilitativi. Lo scopo è quello di rendere accessibile la tecnologia per creare uno strumento ludico e didattico che possa caricarsi anche di contenuti terapeutici. Il progetto trae ispirazione dalle potenzialità espressive della maschera, già noto strumento di cui si avvale la psicoterapia allo scopo di far emergere emozioni e sentimenti. Attraverso l’identificazione con il device, l’utente ha la possibilità di esprimere le proprie emozioni, motivato a mantenere un alto livello di concentrazione e collaborazione
Leonardo Savioli - Deposizioni contemporanee

Attraverso la rappresentazione della Passione di Cristo Savioli racconta la condizione umana, la sua sofferenza ma anche la sua inesauribile e salvifica ‘disperata vitalità’

Get PDFTraining transits: a path of promotion of employability for mothers of the Spanish Neighborhoods of Naples.
Get PDFThe right to lifelong learning has only recently been regulated in Italy with the introduction of Law 92/2012. The law recognizes the right to take advantage of accessible and effective training opportunities to improve the potentialities of adult individuals. This contribution presents an experience of certification of transversal outgoing skills aimed at achieving the two-year secondary school degree. The sample consists of 13 unemployed women aged between 18 and 44, residing in the Spanish Neighborhoods, one of the poorest neighborhoods of the Neapolitan city, who did not have the opportunity to complete higher education, having become mothers at an early age. The training proposal, launched as part of the activities of the OPENN Project (Offerta Percorsi Educativi Nuovi Napoli), aims at the implementation of a professional profile expendable in the field of childcare. Transiti formativi: un percorso di promozione dell’occupabilità per le mamme dei Quartieri Spagnoli di NapoliIl diritto all’apprendimento permanente è stato recentemente normato in Italia con l’introduzione della L. 92/2012. La legge riconosce il diritto alla fruizione di opportunità formative accessibili ed efficaci per valorizzare le potenzialità dei soggetti adulti. Il presente contributo presenta un’esperienza di certificazione delle competenze trasversali in uscita finalizzata al conseguimento del biennio della scuola secondaria di secondo grado. Il campione è costituito da 13 donne inoccupate di età compresa tra i 18 e i 44 anni, residenti nei Quartieri Spagnoli, uno dei quartieri più poveri della città partenopea, che essendo diventate madri in età precoce non hanno avuto l'opportunità di completare gli studi superiori. La proposta formativa, avviata nell’ambito delle attività del Progetto OPENN (Offerta Percorsi Educativi Nuovi Napoli), punta all’implementazione di un profilo professionale spendibile nel settore dell’assistenza all’infanzia
