Italo Balbo: a Fascist life
Pioneering aviator, blackshirt leader, colonial governor, confidante and heir-apparent to Benito Mussolini, the dashing and charismatic Italo Balbo exemplified the ideals of Fascist Italy during the 1920s and 30s. He earned national notoriety after World War I as a ruthless squadrista whose blackshirt forces crushed socialist and trade union organizations. As Minister of Aviation from 1926 to 1933, he led two internationally heralded mass trans-Atlantic flights. When his aerial armada reached the U. S., Chicago honored him with a Balbo Avenue, New York staged a ticker-tape parade, and President Roosevelt invited him to lunch. As colonial governor from 1933 to 1940, Balbo transformed Libya from backward colony to model Italian province. To many, Italo Balbo seemed to embody a noble vision of Fascism and the New Italy

Cesare Balbo v Ljubljani
One of the ideologists of the Italian Risorgimento Cesare Balbo (1789—1853) spent in the years 1811 and 1812 some months in Ljubljana as a member of the commission for debts liquidation in the territory of the Illyrian Provinces. Balbo didn\u27t feel well in Ljubljana and could hardly wait to get rid of that thankless work. One can only guess if he had any contacts with the Slovenes in Ljubljana. His later political activity and publicity don\u27t indicate exactly any searching knowledge of the problem of the Slav nations living in the Illyrian Provinces.Eden izmed ideologov italijanskega Risorgimenta Cesare Balbo (1789 —1853) je v letih 1811 in 1812 preživel nekaj mesecev v Ljubljani kot član komisije za likvidacijo dolgov na ozemlju Ilirskih provinc. Balbo se v Ljubljani ni počutil dobro in komaj je čakal, da se reši nehvaležnega dela. Če je v Ljubljani prišel v stike s Slovenci, je mogoče le ugibati. Njegovo kasnejše politično delovanje in publicistika ne kažeta na kako poglobljeno poznavanje problema slovanskih narodov, ki so živeli v Ilirskih provincah

A reference data access service in support of emergency management. Data quality assessment protocol, publication and exploitation of the results
In the field of natural disasters recovery and reduction and of emergency management geo-referenced information is strongly needed. In my personal experience obtained in the three years period spent at ITHACA, during the shorter at GFDRR Labs and through the work done indirectly with UN-WFP, after a natural disaster occurs, the experts in geomatics are often asked to provide answers to questions such as: where did it occur? How many people have been involved? How many infrastructures have been damaged and to what extent? How much is the economical loss? Geomatics can give answer to all these questions or give significant help in addressing operations in order to get the answers. The goal can be reached both with the use of base reference data, the ones usually contained in the classic cartography, and by exploiting value added information coming from satellite and aerial data processing, classic surveys and GPS/GNSS acquisition on the field. The activities object of this thesis have been performed in the framework of a European project that aim to provide services for Earth Observation: it is called Global Monitoring for Environment and Security. The document is organized in order to follow the project logical line rather than covering the respective timelin
