Genti nel Delta da Spina a Comacchio. Uomini, territorio e culto dall'antichità all'alto medioevo
No full textIl volume, edito in occasione di un'importante mostra e promosso dalla Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici e dal comune di Comacchio, offre la più aggiornata rassegna di studi e ricerche storico-archeologiche sull'area deltizia incentrata sulle città di Spina, Ravenna, Vicus Habentia, Comacchio e Ferrara, con un più ampio riferimento al versante adriatico settentrionale, su un arco cronologico compreso tra l'età del ferro e l'alto medioev
1993-2023. 30 years of Italian web interface design as a paradigm of digital artefacts’ history
No full textIt has been thirty years since the Web protocol created by Berners-Lee was made available royalty-free and led to the birth of the World Wide Web as a (future) mass media. Although in a peripheral position, Italy was among the “early adopters” of the digital revolution thanks to a strong infrastructure innovation creating favourable conditions to establish a technological context for the flourishing of websites as communication artefacts and an intriguing experimental field of design.Starting in the 80s, a series of initiatives, organisations, and companies contributed to this scenario. The convergence of the technical infrastructure, the launch of a fully visual browser (i.e. Netscape), and the introduction of the HTML tag , both by Marc Andreessen (1993), set the ideal conditions for a new generation of design artefacts and designers in the digital field.
The paper proposes, drafts and discusses a possible Italian historiography of the last 30 years, treating web interface design as a contemporary digital artefact at the crossroads of transdisciplinary approaches: graphic design, computer science, and Human-Computer Interaction and as part of a wider interactive communication ecosystem.
In doing that, it also faces aspects of research in the fields of contemporary design history. It questions from a methodological perspective the difficulties in researching digital sources in an ongoing environment and proposes a systematisation and critical mapping derived from the analysis of publications, curated books and manuals, magazines and scientific journals, awards, digital archives and repositories. Furthermore, it aims to discuss the consequences of switching from the canonical approach to historical research – based on archives, primary sources and documentation mainly in the form of written, printed, and sketched materials – to digitised, digitalised or digital-native sources. For their very nature, the latest ones appear to be subject to obsolescence, manipulation and disappearance, forcing researchers to interpret and write design history based on non-traditional sources and approaches
Odour recognition memory and odour identification in patients with mild and severe depressive disorders.
No full textOlfactory deficits, in detection, recognition and identification of odorants have been documented in ageing
and in several neurodegenerative and psychiatric conditions. However, olfactory abilities in Major Depressive
Disorder (MDD) have been less investigated, and available studies have provided inconsistent results. The
present study assessed odour recognition memory and odour identification in two groups of 12 mild MDD
patients (M age 41.3, range 25–57) and 12 severe MDD patients (M age, 41.9, range 23–58) diagnosed
according to DSM-IV criteria and matched for age and gender to 12 healthy normal controls. The suitability
of olfactory identification and recognition memory tasks as predictors of the progression of MDD was
also addressed. Data analyses revealed that Severe MDD patients performed significantly worse than Mild
MDD patients and Normal controls on both tasks, with these last groups not differing significantly from
one another. The present outcomes are consistent with previous studies in other domains which have
shown reliable, although not conclusive, impairments in cognitive function, including memory, in patients
with MDD, and highlight the role of olfactory identification and recognition tasks as an important additional
tool to discriminate between patients characterised by different levels of severity of MDD

Il segreto di Fata Lina : progetto di prevenzione dell'abuso sessuale per la scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado
No full textThis paper describes a new child sexual abuse school-based prevention program targeting schoolchildren attending grades 5-8. This curriculum is based on a special episode, titled “Fata Lina’s secret”, belonging to the popular RAI3 television show for children named Melevisione. The paper allows to understand this curriculum’s rationale, goals, structure and format. Some activities, included in this curriculum, are presented to show how teachers, educators and parents can easily involve children in child sexual abuse prevention activities
Memorie, storie e paramnesie. La questione del digitale tra cultura di progetto e indagine storica
No full textIl rapporto tra memoria e digitale pone interrogativi di diversa entità cui la cultura del progetto può contribuire a individuare possibili risposte se non ad alimentare un dibattito già piuttosto animato. La linea di indagine, denominata “Digital Memories”, ha inteso proprio aprire all’indagine sul mondo del design del/sul digitale attraverso una call for papers internazionale pubblicata da una rivista scientifica indipendente e open access. Il contributo, nel sintetizzare le domande e le ipotesi della ricerca originali, ne restituisce un primo spaccato con una prospettiva contemporanea originale rispetto ai temi delle diversità dei saperi e dei metodi di indagine e restituzione ed evidenzia alcune delle tensioni che si stanno delineando nella relazione tra passato, presente e futuro.The relationship between memory and the digital world prompts inquiries of various dimensions, to which the culture of design can contribute in identifying possible answers or even further igniting an already vibrant debate. The research initiative, titled “Digital Memories”, was specifically dedicated to exploring the realm of digital design through an international call for papers published by an independent and openaccess scientific journal. In summarizing the original research questions and hypotheses developed by the curators, this contribution provides an initial glimpse with an original, contemporary perspective on the themes of diverse knowledge and research methods, highlighting some of the tensions arising in the interplay between the past, present, and future
Micro-histories of Female Protagonists for a More Inclusive History of Italian Graphic Design. A Tentative Attempt at a New Canon
No full textThe great histories of graphic design, both in Italy and internationally, reserve a secondary or minor role for women. Some publications have recently placed this question in critical form, trying to understand the reasons for it, as well as accounting gaps and absences. If we refer to what we could define as the golden age of Italian graphic design – between the 50s and the early 70s – few figures have emerged, more like exceptions than as a result of a contextualised and intentional historical research. The aim of this contribution is to underline sources, methods, and criteria to be adopted to achieve a possible rewriting of history in a more inclusive way, identifying a series of lesser-known
personalities who have full rights to be considered pioneers and role models
