ALLE PENDICI DEI COLLI ALBANI, DINAMICHE INSEDIATIVE E CULTURA MATERIALE AI CONFINI CON ROMA (ON THE SLOPES OF THE ALBAN HILLS, SETTLEMENT DYNAMICS AND MATERIAL CULTURE ON THE CONFINES OF ROME)
No full textHuman occupation of the Alban Hills began during the Pleistocene in conjunction with the last eruptive phases of this volcanic district. Anthropic traces from the Lower, Middle and Upper Paleolithic have been found both at the foot and inside the caldera of the ancient volcanic edifice, indicating discontinuous frequentation of the area, due partly to the eruptive activity and partly to specific behavioral and economic models followed by the different species of Homo
Dalle Rotte alle Strade:infrastrutture e insediamenti nei Colli Albani dalle origini all'età romana
No full textOver the past few decades, a large amount of archaeological data has been collected in every Italian region during scientific activity of the Superintendency, often preceding building activities. The territory close to Rome has been no exception.These investigations have led to the accumulation of an impressive amount of data in the archives of the Superintendency. This data is rather heterogeneous in character, with the intensity and scale of work conducted often being conditioned by the extent of planned construction activity. This study focuses on the Alban Hills and brings together data from recent excavation campaigns, and legacy data, to be re-analyzed in the light of the modern investigation instruments. Departing from the past archaeological finds unearthed in this region, this research focuses on the specific topics of the communication routes and settlement dynamics on the western slopes of the Alban crater in South Lazio. The approach to this study started from the recognition of the morphological features that most influenced the use of the territory by the human communities. Geomorphology has been used as a key to better understand the most-favourable routes through this landscape and the most suitable places for settlements. To this end, known archaeological remains were superimposed onto the geomorphological map revealing how human activity is most intense near and on the volcanic ridges. Moreover, the intersections between radial and concentric ridges appear of major importance, as is clear from two cases study sites in the Marcandreola area (Ciampino, Rome). Here, several use-phases of the most important route in the area, as the so-called via Castrimeniense, traces of volcanic activity in historical times, and intensive cult activity, were identified. From this it has been possible to redraw the gradual exploitation of this territory before it was conquered by Rome

No full textThe Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid
scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics.
In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a
clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for
identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to
suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these
advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data
taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton
lifetime in this channel.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, an author adde
Venetian cardinals at the Papal Court during the pontificates of Sixtus IV and Innocent VIII : 1471-1492
No full textThe histories of particular cities and states within that myriad-faceted
slice of civilisation, the Renaissance in Italy, have received
more scholarly attention than have the diplomatic, ecclesiastical and
cultural connections between them. This study is part of a balance-redressing
process. Senior clerics traversed frontiers, owing
allegiance to their native state, their benefices and, above all, to
the Papacy. The purpose of this exploration of the curial careers of
four later quattrocento Venetian cardinals is essentially twofold : to
account for relations between Venice and the Papacy with reference to
individuals who were at once Venetian patricians and princes of the
Church; and to examine the cardinals' responses to this situation in
terms of political, ecclesiastical and cultural patronage. Where did
their loyalty lie? To Venice, with its perennial suspicion of the
Church and peculiar notion of the characteristics of a Venetian
cardinal? Or to the Pope, expressing overt hostility towards the
Republic in the War of Ferrara and placing it under an interdict?
Chapter one sets Merco Barbo, Pietro Foscari, Giovanni Michiel and
Giovanni Battista Zeno in a Venetian context. Chapters two and three
chart relations between the two powers, from the exposure of Cardinal
Zeno's involvement in a scheme to transmit Venetian state secrets to
Rome in exchange for ecclesiastical preferment, through to Ermolao
Barbaro's controversial appointment to the patriarchate of Aquileia,
via the short-lived Papal-Venetian league negotiated by Cardinal
Foscari in 1480. The fourth chapter considers their proximity to the
Supreme Pontiff and how their material fortunes varied under popes
Sixtus and Innocent, after which an assessment of the nature, extent
and effectiveness of their patronage is divided between chapters five
and six, focussing pa.rticularly on Venetian connections. Despite
diverging careers, it is concluded that all were bound by variations
of the Venetian inheritance
