    Social partenrship as public private cooperation. Thoughts from the Italian experience

    No full text
    Bottom-up initiatives in urban transformation and public goods management, as promoted by recent legislation in Italy, have been indicated by Dr. Eduardo Parisi of the University of Milan as distinctive examples of public-private cooperation that promotes efficiency and inclusion in governance. The Author discussed how – even under the influence of the international debate – public private partnership is more and more often a cultural and social phenomenon, consistent with the principles of solidarity, participation and inclusion in governance.&nbsp

    Resumen: Daniela Parisi analiza el impacto de la vida de San F rancisco de Asís desde la perspectiva de la historia del pensamiento económico. Haciendo referencia particularmente a la atención otorgada en los círculos franciscanos a los signos de los tiempos, la autora traza el camino desde la vida de San Francisco, pasando por la vida de la Orden hasta el presente, y revela los orígenes del movimiento franciscano como un intento de reforma social y religiosa. En primer lugar, el artículo presenta la vida que llevó San Francisco como una “pobreza material voluntaria” en el contexto de los cambios socio-económicos que tuvieron lugar en el siglo XIII, con el advenimiento de la sociedad comercial. Luego, explica cómo la propuesta de San Francisco creció hasta convertirse en una orden religiosa. Finalmente, el artículo intenta iluminar aquellos aspectos en que la Orden Franciscana puede todavía considerarse un signo de los tiempos a través de una existencia comprometida con la pobreza, eliminando lo superfluo de nuestra vida y viviendo en consonancia con el Evangelio.Abstract: Daniela Parisi analyses the impact of the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, from the perspective of the history of economic thought. By referring in particular to the attention given in Franciscan circles to the signs of times, the author draws the path from Saint Francis’s life to the life of the Order until the present, and reveals the origins of the Franciscan movement as an attempt for social and religious reformation. First, the article presents St. Francis’s life of a “voluntary material poverty” in the context of the social and economic changes that took place in the XIII century, with the rise of the commercial society. Then, the author explains how St. Francis’ proposal grew into an Order. Finally, the article aims at illuminating the aspects in which the Franciscan Order can be still considered a sign of the times by living the commitment to poverty and minority, eliminating the superfluous from our lives and living close to the Gospel

    Malthodes (Malthodes) marialuisae PARISI & FANTI sp. nov. (Figs. 7–8, 11C) Description. Male, winged. Body length 4.2 mm; elytra 1.1 mm; pronotum 0.2 mm; antennae about 4.4 mm. Entirely blackish-dark brown, without yellow spots on the elytral apex. Head exposed, rounded, with shallow punctation. Eyes rounded, very prominent, inserted in the lateral-upper part of the head. Maxillary palpi 4-segmented, with the last palpomere globular and distally pointed (point thin and very elongate). Labial palpi 3-segmented, last palpomere globular and distally pointed. Antennae filiform, 11-segmented, extremely long, slightly surpassing the last abdominal segment; antennomere I very elongate, club-shaped; antennomere II enlarged apically and about 1.3 times shorter than antennomere I; antennomere III enlarged apically and slightly shorter than antennomere II; antennomeres IV–VIII sub-equal and very elongate; antennomere IX very slightly shorter than previous ones; antennomere X shorter than previous; antennomere XI elongate and with rounded apex; all antennomeres densely covered by short setae. Pronotum transverse, narrower than the head, surface with sparce punctation, anterior margin undulate, posterior margin straight and slightly bordered, sides straight and slightly bordered. Elytra very short, reaching the middle of the abdomen, slightly wider than pronotum, covered with scattered and short setae, parallel-sided, rounded at apices. Hind wings transparent, almost reaching the last abdominal segment (left wing totally extroverted and equipped with few nervations well visible). Legs long, slender, densely pubescent; coxae elongate; trochanters robust with rounded apex; femora slightly enlarged and almost straight; tibiae cylindrical with a spur near the apex, pro- and metatibiae shorter than pro- and metafemora, mesotibiae longer than mesofemora; tarsi 5-segmented, pubescent; tarsomeres I thin, elongate; tarsomeres II slightly enlarged apically and shorter than tarsomeres I; tarsomeres III short, triangular-shaped; tarsomeres IV strongly bilobed and robust; tarsomeres V elongate and slender; claws simple. Metasternum sub-quadrate. Sternites transverse and pubescent. Last tergite (tg10) in the shape of an elongate and broad lobe, strongly curved, narrower to the middle, with the apical margin sinuous equipped with two small points at the middle and with the apical sides slightly expanded; last sternite (st9) short, elongate, curved, flat and apically deeply forked (with robust, apically rounded lobes). Aedeagus not visible. Female unknown. Etymology. Named in honor of Marialuisa Vessella, mother of the first author. Holotype. Male, in Baltic amber, deposited at the University of Molise (Unimol) with accession No. Unimol AAA006FP. Type locality. Yantarny mine, Sambian Peninsula, Kaliningrad region, Russia. Type horizon. Middle Eocene (Lutetian) (47.8–41.2 MYA) to Late Eocene (Priabonian) (37.8–33.9 MYA). Syninclusions. Air bubbles, debris, stellate hairs, a disarticulated spider. Differential diagnosis. The shape of the penultimate and last tergite makes Malthodes marialuisae sp. nov. unique and easily distinguishable from all the known fossil species of Malthodes, both from Baltic amber, Bitterfeld amber, and Rovno amber (Fanti 2017, 2019; Fanti & Vitali 2017; Fanti & Sontag 2019; Parisi & Fanti 2019c). Remarks. The yellow amber piece measures 15 x 8 x 3 mm. The inclusion is complete except for the left antenna preserved up to the sixth antennomere and has also extruded left elytron with the metathoracic wing clearly visible.Published as part of Parisi, Francesco & Fanti, Fabrizio, 2020, Baltic amber: A new Cacomorphocerus Schaufuss, 1892 with two specimens preserved in a single piece, and four new Malthodes Kiesenwetter, 1852, pp. 546-560 in Zootaxa 4778 (3) on pages 553-555, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4778.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/382878

    “Its job is to provide this in-between realm by means of construction, i.e., to provide, from house to city scale, a bunch of real places for real people and real things” scriveva l’architetto Aldo Van Eyck dell’architettura umana che mirava a creare luoghi che favorissero il dialogo e stimolassero la vita comunitaria, che si fa sintesi contemporanea nel progetto “Tipo di spazio” degli studi Palma e HANGAR
