The Diary of Cesare Vitali
Among the numerous testimonies concerning the 1821 Greek Revolution, Cesare Vitali’s account has not yet been investigated and his figure is still relatively unknown. Doctor and vice-consul of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies in Athens during the crucial years of the Greek Independence Wars, Cesare Vitali witnessed all of the political turmoil associated with the city: from the first attempt of liberation from the Ottoman conquerors (April 1821) to the dramatic events that led to the siege of Athens and the surrender of the Acropolis in May 1827. The CHS fellowship in Philhellenism, offered on the occasion of the celebration of the 200 years (1821-2021) since the outbreak of the Greek Revolution, gave me the opportunity to fully address the case of Cesare Vitali and to study his diary in detail, which has now been published for the first time in the prestigious series “Quaderni” of the Istituto Siciliano di Studi Bizantini e Neoellenici “B. Lavagnini”
Atene 1821-1827 nel Diario di Cesare Vitali
Cesare Vitali, medico e viceconsole del Regno delle due Sicilie ad Atene negli anni cruciali delle lotte per l’Indipendenza della Grecia, fu testimone delle alterne vicende che riguardarono la città, dal primo tentativo di liberazione dai conquistatori occupanti ottomani, nell’aprile del 1821, ai drammatici momenti che segnarono l’assedio di Atene e la resa dell’Acropoli nel maggio 1827. Nel bicentenario del Risorgimento Greco (1821-2021) vedono ora la luce per la prima volta i suoi diari dalle carte conservate presso gli Archivi di Stato di Atene. Essi costituiscono una testimonianza di prima mano che permette di ricostruire, anche grazie all’accurato commento che li accompagna, il quadro di un periodo per molti versi ancora da indagare – soprattutto nei suoi rapporti con l’Italia – restituendo nel contempo il clima filellenico dell’epoca e la drammaticità delle vicende storiche vissute: fatti ed eventi che già nella coscienza dei contemporanei risuonavano come sequenze di una grande epopea
Frequenza di beta talassemici eterozigoti in un campione omogeneo del Salento
Abstract
An investigation has been carried out on the frequency of ~-
thalassemia heterozygotes in third-form pupils of the Middle School in
the Salento Peninsula. While this area represents one of the South ltalian
areas with greatest ~-thalassemia incidence, the frequency of the disease
is considerably higher than that reported in the literature data for this
area. The AA emphasize the usefulness of constant awareness on the part
of the social and health services, the schools and the population at large,
in order to carry out efficacious preventive screening

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
