    La "vivace imperfezione". L'ultimo Tiziano in contesto

    No full text
    The research focuses on one of the most debated and complex themes of 16th-century Venetian painting: late Titian. Taking its starting point from the critical aporias rooted in 20th-century artistic historiography, it attempts to reread the ‘lively imperfection’ that characterises a certain production of the artist from Cadore, tracing its premises and setting it down in the critical, figurative, and linguistic fabric of the period. The aim is to highlight how the ‘unfinished’ manner practised by the painter is not an exceptional phenomenon to be ascribed to the prescience of genius or to the drawbacks of old age, but rather a formal choice that finds its roots and motivations in a context nourished by experiences that are related or not entirely dissimilar – from the executive impetuosity of Tintoretto to the pictorial flaking of Andrea Schiavone to the pasty luminism of Jacopo Da Ponte – in a market in which the reputation he had achieved allowed Vecellio ample freedom of experimentation, not always aligned with the expectations of patrons or collectors and the rules of decorum

    PRIMA SEGNALAZIONE DI PRESENZA DELLA CHEPPIA, ALOSA FALLAX (LACÉ PÈDE, 1803), NEL BACINO DEL FIUME ENTELLA (LIGURIA, ITALIA NORD-OCCIDENTALE). FIRST RECORD OF THE TWAITE SHAD, ALOSA FALLAX (LACÉPÈDE, 1803), IN ENTELLA RIVER BASIN (LIGURIA, NW ITALY). (PISCES, OSTEICHTHYES, CLUPEIDAE)

    This short note describes the first advisory about the return upstream of a specimen of Alosa fallax (Lacépède, 1803) along the River Entella and the Lavagna Stream up to Ponte Vecchio locality (Municipality of Carasco, Liguria Region, North-Western Italy). The observation of twaite shad in the Entella River basin is a very important ichthyological event: it shows the great environmental potentiality of this Ligurian river basin

    Ecology of Italian Protura

    No full text
    The ecology of Protura in Italy (including Corsica) is tentatively described according to original and bibliographical data. Protura are quite common but very rarely abundant: their mean density in soil samples collected in Liguria (NW Italy) was estimated to be 372 /m2 (s.d. 657 – max. 2790 /m2 in a Holm oak forest). Information from the analyses of habitat and/or elevation of 3448 specimens from 269 collections and 4071 specimens from 295 collections identified to species and genus level, respectively, enabled us to outline Protura assemblages for eight different macro-habitats. The unbalanced sex ratio in favour of females observed in 12 of the dominant species of Acerentomata suggests that (based also on the sperm types known in Protura) a single male can fertilize several females through spermatophores. For one species (Proturentomon minimum) only females were collected, which may suggest the possibility of parthenogenesis in some Protura. An analysis of the phenology and population dynamics of the five dominant species, showed annual cycles with one (Acerentomon microrhinus) or more (A. gallicum, A. italicum, A. maius and Eosentomon transitorium) peaks of reproductive activity. Other ecological remarks (e.g. about the relationship between the amplitude of latitudinal/altitudinal distribution and the ecological distribution of Protura in Italy) are discussed
