Il processo di partecipazione nella definizione del piano strategico del Turismo Puglia 365
No full textL’orientamento partecipativo dei modelli di sviluppo sostenibile delle destinazioni turistiche incontra il principale ostacolo realizzativo nella mancanza o inefficace coinvolgimento degli stakeholders. Questo paper analizza e individua i principali fattori di criticità derivanti dal contesto di sviluppo turistico (livello di sviluppo e
frammentazione) e dal contesto culturale (approccio sistemico) che influenzano l’implementazione di un modello partecipativo di sviluppo. Il framework teorico di riferimento è il modello “multi-stakeholder involvement management (MSIM)’ e l’analisi è stata condotta secondo i tre livelli strategici di: attrazione, integrazione e gestione degli stakeholder; rispetto ai quali sono stati analizzati: l’impostazione del programma di partecipazione (scene-setting), il riconoscimento della capacità di coinvolgimento degli stakeholder, la gestione delle relazioni con gli stessi, la definizione e il perseguimento di obiettivi raggiungibili che influenzano l’attuazione del processo partecipativo e il monitoraggio del grado di coinvolgimento, con particolare riferimento agli stakeholder rappresentati dagli operatori del settore, dai corpi intermedi e dalle organizzazioni locali. La ricerca è stata condotta a partire dal maggio 2016 nell’ambito del processo avviato dalla Puglia per la definizione del nuovo Piano Strategico per il Turismo “Puglia365”. Oggetto di analisi è stato l’intero processo, che ha coinvolto circa 2000 operatori, e l’innovativa strategia di consultazione multicanale (con blog, incontri, dirette streaming) e multi stakeholder. L’analisi condotta offre anche una riflessione critica sui limiti che la partecipazione e il coinvolgimento attivo della collettività possono causare in un processo di pianificazione strategica del settore turistico
Examining the Influence of Adaptive Behavior on Tourism Satisfaction Amid Climate Change Challenges
No full textClimate change is changing how tourists behave at destinations, potentially affecting their satisfaction and overall
tourist experience. This study explores the relationship between adaptive behavior and satisfaction, considering the moderating effect of pro-environmental behavior and destination image. The research was conducted through a survey, and the Italian Apulia region was considered as the study area. The results show a positive relationship between adaptive behavior and satisfaction, a relationship that is positively moderated by pro-environmental behavior and destination imag
Using Participatory Processes with Young People for the Definition of Cultural Heritage: A Case Study of Genoa
No full textA service quality model for web-services evaluation in cultural heritage management
No full textThe paper presents a framework for analyzing users’ preferences and service quality within a model designed for geo-participatory processes in the context of cultural heritage management. The model is constructed on a geo-referenced Web system (www.isaac-genovaculture.eu) as a tool to facilitate listening, communication and participation with different social actors in the city of Genoa. The study explores the use of SERVQUAL method to identify and analyze users’ preferences and satisfaction for web-services, and to measure service quality gaps. Findings suggest that users prioritize layout, design, usability and content in geo-referenced web services, while other features, such as e-governance and interactions with web design staff are judged to be less important. The analysis of the SERVQUAL weighted gap shows a positive result only for the e-governance features where the services proposed meet the users’ expectations
Dal Convivio alla Monarchia: quale Livio per Dante?
No full textIn questo contributo si prendono in considerazione il riferimento a Livio in Convivio
IV.v, 11 e alcuni dei riferimenti allo storico romano ritenuti maggiormente significativi nel secondo libro della Monarchia. Si dimostra che il rimando a Livio nel primo trattato è introdotto in riferimento a una ripresa probabilmente dal suo abbreviatore Floro e in apertura di un passaggio in cui si utilizza una tradizione storiografica più articolata e complessa, comprendente anche Agostino. Si propone, di conseguenza, che il rimando a Livio non si basi su una conoscenza diretta dello storico latino ma si fondi sulla sintesi realizzata da Floro. Si dimostra poi che, contrariamente all’opinione vulgata, alcuni riferimenti a Livio nella Monarchia, particolarmente quello programmatico di II.iii, 6, non sono riconducibili
in toto alla tradizione indiretta e quindi sembrerebbero suggerire che Dante avesse avuto accesso a questo autore entro la composizione del suo trattato politico.This essay focuses on Dante’s references to Livy in Convivio IV.v, 11 as well as on some particularly important references to the Roman historian in the second book of the De Monarchia. The author argues that the first reference is most likely derived from the epitome compiled by Livy’s abbreviator Florus, and shows how it is placed at the beginning of a passage that refers to several different historiographical sources, including Agustine. The author therefore suggests that this reference to Livy in the Convivio is not based on Dante’s direct knowledge of the work of the Roman historian, but rather on the information contained in the synthesis by Florus. She also challenges the scholarly consensus on this
topic by showing that some references to Livy in the De Monarchia – especially the “programmatic” one in II.iii, 6 – do not appear in the indirect tradition and can only be traced back directly to Livy. This suggests that Dante likely accessed the work of Livy before the composition of his political treatise

A Record of the Tea Retreat: The Chaliao ji by Lu Shusheng
No full textThe Chaliao ji 茶寮記 (A Record of the Tea Retreat) by the scholar-official Lu Shusheng 陸樹聲 (1509–1605) stands out in the vast corpus of essays on tea produced
in the late Ming dynasty for two reasons. Firstly, the social status of its author, who held the highest official position among all tea writers of the period, shows that tea appreciation was actively discussed among the highest echelons of the late Ming gentry. Secondly, the Chaliao ji is the earliest publication to bring together the issues of the construction of a private tea room, prescriptions for the preparation of loose-leaf tea, as well as instructions for savouring the beverage, thus further delineating specific aspects of literati tea culture as social markers.
This study examines the background and content of Chaliao ji. It first provides an overview of Lu Shusheng’s biography, from his experience in officialdom to his later life in retirement, focusing on his construction of a garden and his commitment to Buddhism and tea appreciation. It then discusses the contents of the text, the several extant editions and issues regarding its authorship. Finally, it provides an English translation of the Chaliao ji accompanied by the Chinese text and commentary
Nerone ritrovato
No full textThe author discusses in detail the dating of a marble head of the emperor Nero, recently identified in a collection in London. It will have belonged to a largerthanlife loricata statue and will have been detached from it when the emperor suffered damnatio memoriae. The details indicate the date of its manufacture in the last period of the reign, 64–68 AD; it appears to be the very latest ancient representation of the emperor. All available data supports the authenticity of this portrait.
Keywords: Nero, head of a statue, authentic, marble, last period of the reign
Cosmic pūjā. Śivabhakti in Śrīkaṇṭhacarita V
No full textThe Śrīkaṇṭhacarita by Maṅkha (XII CE) can be considered as one of the last mahākāvya composed in a Hindu context in Kashmir – the reign of Jayasiṃha (1128-1155) – before the Muslim Sultanate. The author states from the very beginning that his mahākāvya is aimed at celebrating not his patron Jayasiṃha, but “that king whose court is Mount Kailāsa”, namely Śiva (ŚKC I 56). This and other loci have led the scholars to discuss about the metamorphosis of the kavi’s rolewithin the court entourage and his ideological conflict with the king. So far, such observations have not considered the subject of the praśasti itself, Śiva, whose connection with the poet may be demonstrated by conclusive textual evidence: whilst the whole work is pervaded by the poet’s bhakti, it is in the v sarga, the bhagavadvarṇana, “description of the Lord”, that Maṅkha displays entirely his full devotion. Throughout this section, in fact, the veneration for Śiva assumes the features of a macrocosmic ritual: not only the human devotee, but also Indra, Viṣṇu, Brahmā, and all the Hindu pantheon identify the god as deus optimus maximus. Maṅkha combines thereby elements of a daily pūjā with ritual actions of celestial devotees, creating the new image of a divine ceremony: what else is the devadeva worth of, if not of an everlasting supreme offer, the one made by the gods
A Poet with His Philosopher’s Hat On. A Preliminary Study of the Philosophical Section in the Seventeenth Canto of Maṅkha's Śrīkaṇṭhacarita
No full textThe present article is a preliminary study of a section of the seventeenth canto of Maṅkha’s Śrīkaṇṭhacarita, a ‘court epic’ (mahākāvya) in Sanskrit composed during the twelfth century in Kashmir. In the section in question (ŚKC 17.18–33), the author elaborates a praise of the god in the guise of a philosophical discussion introducing the views of different doctrines, with the scope of establishing the superiority of the ‘non-dual’ (advaita) Śaivism from Kashmir. Maṅkha, however, does not criticize or diminish the previous traditions but borrows their concept to enhance his own credo, making the section a successful example of inclusivism. What stands out is Śiva’s pervasiveness and oneness, which seems to be built upon the model of the philosophical Tantric school of the Pratyabhijñā. While presenting the structure of the philosophical section, this study explores the influence of Utpaladeva (c.925–975 ce) and Abhinavagupta (c.975–1025 ce) on Maṅkha’s ideology
