    The prerequisite of an appropriate technological retrofit design is a thorough analysis of the technical-constructive DNA, so that both the types of work that the materials to be used can be selected in relation to the specific performance deficiencies. This paper presents the results of a research funded by the Campania Region, which investigated the issues related to retrofit of existing school building, in order to improve the energy efficiency of the places for training and reduce the risks related to the functional degradation, even in the event of environmental disasters. Starting from the evaluation of the energy performance, the research has identified interventions that increase the technological quality of the buildings, according to the specific construction types and effective even in terms of costs. From a methodological point of view, the research started by the Ministry of Education Guidelines for a good school, analysing the Environmental Unit and the internal distribution system in order to verify as satisfying the functional regulatory requirements.

    “The Romans were enlightened legislators, Big colonizers, skilled Entrepreneurs. Chosen a place to settle down at the intersection of two streets, on the banks of a river, traced with ruler and square the typical plant of the straight city. They wanted the city had one defined pattern, tidy, extremely clear, they wanted to orientate and go at ease. The straight line well suited to the severe nature of the Romans”. In these terms, Le Corbusier refers to the work of the Romans for which it is the "straight line" that becomes the rule ordering not only the forma urbis but also of road layouts and viae stratae, that will be implemented from the fourth century BC. The intent of this essay is to trace and outline, through the ancient paths, a cognitive journey to investigate the techniques and the works of the ancient people: representation of deep knowledge, manifesto, even today, of courageous policies, large programs and deep expertise. From the Regina Viarum, the The Appian Way, we start to discover traces of viae who ruled the connections in the Phlegraean area, identifying layout configuration of Domitiana and Puteolana viae

    To raise awareness about preventive measures in COVID-19 pandemic, even though fully vaccinated. Although recent trials showed high efficacy of vaccines in preventing symptomatic infections, there are some individuals experiencing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this case report, a fully vaccinated young dental practitioner experienced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 55 days postvaccination with BNT162b2 Pfizer vaccine with evident ageusia. Diagnostic swabs were performed and used for viral genome sequencing. The patient fully recovered 15 days after diagnosis. Loss of smell and taste, together with nasal congestion were the main reported symptoms. The use of personal protective equipment prevented spread of infection in patients and co-workers. With the increase of people being fully vaccinated, it is still necessary to follow infection preventive protocols by correctly applying personal protective equipment. Although high efficacy has been proved, some individuals may still be vulnerable to symptomatic infection and new guidelines and markers should be adopted and investigated to find out patients for whom vaccination may not determine full immunization
