No full textElisabetta I come Cinzia: Una regina e il suo oceano
No full textThe defeat of the Spanish Armada in the Channel in 1588 turned ‘a weak and feeble woman’ into one of the most relevant characters of late 16th-century European history: Elizabeth I, the Tudor Queen, was considered a semi-divine creature whom the myth, by comparing her to Moon goddesses like Diana and Cinthia, had made known as Semper Eadem.
The identification of the queen with Cinthia became more and more evident after the events occurred in 1588, when she was hailed as the moon goddess par excellence in a series of texts written by her contemporaries. It was in that period, the last decades of the 16th century, that Sir Walter Ralegh, courtier, poet and seaman, wrote The Poems to Cynthia: a collection of short poems where Elizabeth I, the lady of the seas, is addressed as his beloved. The role of Elizabeth as Cinthia is evident above all in Ralegh’s Last Book of the Ocean to Cynthia, an unfinished poem where the author, desperate for being in disgrace, appeals to her clemency and addresses her as the empress of the ocean.La sconfitta della flotta spagnola nelle acque della Manica nel 1588 trasformò una donna sola e fragile in una delle figure più rilevanti della storia europea di fine XVI secolo: Elisabetta I Tudor divenne per i suoi sudditi una creatura semidivina che il mito, accostandola alle divinità lunari Diana e Cinzia, avrebbe consegnato alla Storia come Semper Eadem.
Pur essendo evidente già nei primi tempi del suo regno, l’identificazione della sovrana con Cinzia, la dea che governa i mari e i corsi d’acqua, si fa ancora più evidente dopo il 1588, quando si assiste ad una fioritura di testi che esaltano Elisabetta I come la dea lunare per eccellenza.
Sempre in quegli anni di fine XVI secolo, Sir Walter Ralegh compone The Poems to Cynthia: letterato, cortigiano e uomo di mare, Ralegh dedicherà il suo amore ad Elisabetta come Cinzia, signora dei mari. Il legame tra Elisabetta e l’oceano è soprattutto evidente in Last Book of the Ocean to Cynthia, un poemetto incompiuto in cui il poeta, caduto in disgrazia, riunisce sotto il nome di Cinzia, la donna e la regina, l’amante e la dea, trasformando così Elisabetta in dea e imperatrice dei mari

Praxiphanes of Mytilene (called 'of Rhodes'). The Sources, Text and Translation
No full textNuova edizione dei frammenti di Prassifane di MItilene, detto di Rodi, con traduzione e note. Prassifane era uno dei filosofi di età ellenistica implicato in ruoli anche pubblici in merito ai quali abbiamo segnali di onori ricevuti (cittadinanza e prossenia). I frammenti superstiti permettono di ricostruire la personalità di un filosofo peripatetico, allievo di Teofrasto, che pur avendo acquisito fama come 'primo grammatico' ed essersi occupato di critica letteraria, di poeti, di poetica e di 'storia', non lasciò da parte interessi di etica e probabilmente di fisica. Importante la sua attività a Rodi, nel pieno III sec. a.C., in un periodo nel quale l'isola rivestì un ruolo particolarmente rilevante dal punto di vista politico, economico e culturale per il mondo ellenico.New Critical Edition of the sources related to Praxiphanes of Mytilene, called of Rhodes' (3rd BC), a Peripatetic philosopher, pupil of Theophrastus, whose entire works are lost. The new collection of fragments shows that he was a philosopher involved in public life, called 'first grammarian' and author of works on literary critics, on poetics, on poets, on history, on ethics and physics. He lived and worked in Rhodes in a special period when this island was an important economic, political and cultural centre of the Hellenic world

Abstract
The decarbonisation of the built environment has increased reliance on Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (E-LCA) to evaluate the impacts of construction materials. However, social aspects—particularly those affecting workers—remain underexplored. This study presents a regionalised approach to support socially and environmentally informed decision-making in the Italian construction sector. For this purpose, we have integrated worker health and safety indicators into the E-LCA of two representative building products assessed across key life cycle stages. These indicators are incorporated into the evaluation of Global Warming Potential (GWP), thus serving as a decision-support tool during the design phase. From a design perspective, the aim is to promote a broader understanding of sustainability—encompassing both environmental and social dimensions—within building projects. Methodologically, the contribution is twofold. First, it addresses the current gap in context-specific data on the critical indicator of worker health and safety in the construction sector, an essential requirement for robust and scientifically recognised S-LCA studies. To this end, the study develops a regionalised scoring system based on publicly available occupational health and safety data from the Italian National Accident Database (INAIL), disaggregated by sector and region. Second, we propose a framework to combine these social indicators with LCA-based environmental impact metrics, which remain central to building-scale E-LCA. It is clear that no single region performs best, while a critical need for multi-criteria decision-making in sustainable design is evident
