    In the last years the building firm underwent real boom for investiments and workers but not for safety measures. In the building sector there is a great accidents risks for falls from the top. The aim of present study is to analyze trend of accidents at work in building yards according to INAIL DATA and we will identify causes and risks then we will correlate these risks with frequent law defaults that we noticed in the province of Palermo. At the end we will value possible preventive measures to avoid this phenomenon. DATA INAIL of period 2001-2005 about building sector show us a reduction of denounced accidents at work but this phenomenon is changeable. Palermo is the first Sicilian province for accidents at work although the number of denounced accidents (from 2001 to 2005) is decreasing while this number in Catania is increasing, CPT of Palermo gave us data (from 2004 to 2006) about inspections in building yards. Our study interests 609 yards and 1827 work stages. We noticed the most number of rests in civil yards

    The article analyzes the relationship between history and the passions thorough the borrowings from the Storia d’Italia. Guicciardini by Francesco Guicciardini. Guicciardini's influence on the author of the Essais seems to extend to both the content and the form of the borrowed texts (their style, description techniques, and so on), and indeed to the treatment of the passions described. The analysis of the examples borrowed from Guicciardini in Book I fo the Essais leads to some initial conclusions ; although, there is further research yet to be done.L’étude analyse le rapport entre l’Histoire et les passions à travers les emprunts à la Storia d’Italia de Guichardin. L’influence de Guichardin sur l’auteur des Essais semble toucher tant le contenu des textes empruntés que la forme (style, modalités de la description, etc.), ainsi que le traitement des passions décrites. L’analyse des exemples empruntés à Guichardin dans le livre I des Essais permet de tirer les premières conclusions ; cependant, la recherche aurait besoin d’être poursuivie

    La formazione filosofica di Orazio nella lettura degli esegeti antichi

    No full text
    In una delle Vite di Orazio riportate dai manoscritti che conservano gli scolii antichi alla sua opera si legge che il poeta, in seguito alla formazione culturale romana, si sarebbe recato ad Atene per il tradizionale ‘viaggio d’istruzione’ al fine di apprendere la filosofia; tale insegnamento sarebbe stato innanzitutto epicureo. L’elemento costituisce una novità rispetto a quanto riportato da Svetonio, con cui le vite dei manoscritti presentano in generale evidenti affinità. L’autore della Vita riferisce inoltre che Orazio avrebbe ammesso di essere epicureo 'in principio carminis' ritenendo d’altronde felice chi agisce secondo il proprio istinto, chi considera la 'voluptas' il sommo bene. Nella lettura di un commentatore tardoantico ne derivava pertanto che Orazio fosse epicureo in questa prospettiva vengono così lette le Satire e anche - ma in maniera differente, come l’analisi mette in luce - le Epistole.One of the Lives of Horace in the manuscripts preserving the ancient scholia to his work records that the poet, following the Roman cultural education, would have gone to Athens for the traditional ‘educational journey’ in order to learn philosophy; this teaching would have been mostly epicurean. This constitutes a novelty with respect to what is reported by Suetonius, with which the lives of manuscripts generally have evident affinities. The author of the Life also says that Horace would have admitted to being an epicurean in principio carminis, considering happy who acts according to his own instinct and looks at voluptas as the highest good. Thus, in the reading of the late commentator, Horace was epicurean and the Satires and also - but in a different way, as clarified in the analysis - the Epistles are evaluated in this perspective

    The Figure of the Limit: Metalepsis

    No full text
    In 1972, Gérard Genette introduced in narratology the figure of metalepsis, that is «any intrusion by the extradiegetic narrator or narratee into the diegetic universe (or by diegetic characters into a metadiegetic universe, etc.), or the inverse». In other words, metalepsis is a transgression of narrative levels, a perturbation of hierarchy that raises the question of the porosity of boundaries between diegetic and metadiegetic, author and reader, fact and fiction. In my presentation, I will show how this phenomenon is ubiquitous nowadays, and how it is settled both in highbrow and lowbrow cultural representations across various media. Furthermore, I wish I can discuss the role of metalepsis in poetics: in my opinion, it is possible to relate this device with the history of the novel. In XVIII and XIX centuries authorial narrators made extensive use of rhetoric metalepsis for humoristic purposes (such as playing with the story-time and the discourse-time) or to exhibit their authority (through the manipulation of different threads of the narration). With Naturalism and Modernism metalepsis disappeared, according to the poetic of impersonality: authors stopped being intrusive and eclipsed behind their characters. The golden era of the figure came in the temper of Postmodernism, where ontological metalepsis flourished and the public got used to author and reader literary entering the fiction or characters exiting from it and chitchatting with their creators
