Piero Sraffa and His Books – a foreword to the Catalogue of his inimitable library
No full textThis foreword gives a preview of the sort of books Piero Sraffa collected, specifying the criteria that appear to have been used for the selection. The Author of this foreword is convinced that the discovery of these criteria may help to understand the basis of the type of history of economic thought that Piero Sraffa had in mind

The Black Sea near-past wave climate and its variability: a hindcast study
No full textThis study analyzed the past wave climate of the Black Sea region for the period from 1988 to 2021. The wave field has been simulated using the state-of-the-art, third-generation wave model WAVEWATCH III forced by the ECMWF reanalysis ERA5 winds, with the model resolution being the highest ever applied to the region in a basin-scale climate study. The surface currents provided by the Copernicus Marine Service have been included in the wave model to evaluate wave–current interactions. The wave model results have been validated with respect to satellite and buoy observations, showing that the simulation accurately reproduces the past evolution of the wave field, exceeding 0.9 correlation with respect to satellite data. The inclusion of wave–current interaction has been positively evaluated. Four statistics (significant wave height 5th and 95th percentiles, mean, and maxima) have been used to describe the wave field at seasonal timescale, showing a clear distinction between the Western (rougher sea conditions) and Eastern (calmer sea conditions) sub-basins. Furthermore, the intra-annual wave climate variability has been investigated using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Mann–Kendall test on significant wave height (SWH). This study represents the first time the PCA is applied to the region, identifying two main modes that highlight distinct features and seasonal trends in the Western and Eastern sub-basins. Throughout most seasons, the SWH trend is positive for the Eastern basin and negative for the Western basin. The PCA shows a regime shift with increasing eastward waves and decreasing north and north-eastward waves. Finally, SWH correlation (ρ) with four Teleconnection indexes (East Atlantic Pattern, Scandinavian Pattern, North Atlantic Oscillation, and East Atlantic/West Russia Pattern) revealed that the strongest ρ is observed with the Eastern–Atlantic–Western Russia teleconnection, with a peculiar spatial pattern of correlation, and is positive for the northwestern and negative for the southeastern sub-basin
Esserci e temporalità ne «La figlia di Babilonia» di Piero Bigongiari
No full textBeing there and temporality in La figlia di Babilonia of Piero Bigongiari · In this paper the author takes on Piero Bigongiari’s book of poetry La figlia di Babilonia (1942) by means of the categories of being-there and temporality by Martin Heidegger. Through an analysis of the Tuscan poet’s essays and interviews and foremost through the most important texts of this book poetry, the author shows how hermetic poetic is deeply rooted in the diffusion of German existentialism in Ital
Il Ponte di Piero Calamandrei
No full textThe paper traces the history of the journal Il Ponte, founded by Piero Calamandrei in April 1945, in order to capture the ideal roots of this audacious publishing initiative. The Author focuses on the liberal-socialist vocation of the journal and on the ideals of European federalism that led Calamandrei to oppose the Atlantic Pact. Lastly, he delves into the commitment of the Florentine jurist in support of the Constitution, democracy and the Welfare State
