Fundamentals of Material Design Culture
This essay is published in the book Ideas and the Matter, edited by Marinella Ferrara and Giulio Ceppi. The book presents the founding research undertaken by the Politecnico di Milano’s Material Design Culture Research Centre (Madec). Founded in 2014, Madec obtained the Design Department’s support during its first year by being granted the Fondo di Ateneo per la Ricerca di Base (FARB 2013) for “Fundamental/Foundational/ Exploratory Researches that are strategically assessed for scientific growth in a research department”. In the third section of the book, scientific discourse focuses on the Material Design Culture and changing approach in term of the evolution of research methods. In the chapter "Fundamental of Material Design Culture", the author traces the fundamentals of Material Design based on the Italian design history and its relationship with global design discourse
Varicella notification in immigrants: a brief report from Ferrara, Italy
Background and Aim of the work - We conducted a survey of varicella cases' notifications in the immigrant population in the province of Ferrara, Italy.

Materials and Methods – We collected notifications of infectious disease between 2002 and 2006. 

Results and discussion - At the end of 2006, the 4.5% (14252 subjects) of total population of the province of Ferrara and its province was represented of immigrants from foreign countries. In this context, between 2002 and 2006, a total of 1969 cases of varicella, including 3.1% related to migrants, were reported. Among immigrants, there were 36 cases in males, and 26 in females. The cases were notified in the 64.5% by the hospital emergency service, in the 16.1% by the paediatrician and in 19.4% by the general practitioner. The incidence appears similar in both populations in childhood: this fact could means an integration in the local epidemiology for varicella of the immigrant school-children. 	

Shifting to Design-driven Material Innovation
This essay is published in the book Ideas and the Matter, edited by Marinella Ferrara and Giulio Ceppi. The book presents the founding research undertaken by the Politecnico di Milano’s Material Design Culture Research Centre (Madec). Founded in 2014, Madec obtained the Design Department’s support during its first year by being granted the Fondo di Ateneo per la Ricerca di Base (FARB 2013) for “Fundamental/Foundational/ Exploratory Researches that are strategically assessed for scientific growth in a research department”. In the third section of the book, scientific discourse focuses on the Material Design Culture and changing approach in term of the evolution of research methods. In this chapter, the author analyses several changes in the design discipline and in the approaches to Material design and explores the new dimension of the contemporary trend of material innovation driven by design competences
Design-Driven Material Innovation Methodology
This chapter of the Book Ideas and the Matter, edited by Marinella Ferrara and Giulio Ceppi, present the Design-driven Material Innovation Methodology in the framework of the evolution of the Material Design Culture, and the most up-dated changing of the material design approach. Design-driven Material Innovation Methodology is the method developed and assessed by MADEC, the Material Design Culture Research Center by Politecnico di Milano
Blue nevus
According to the original description by Tieche [33], to which little can be added, blue nevus is a dermal-based, benign melanocytic lesion histopathologically made up by variable proportions of oval/spindle and bipolar, usually heavily pigmented dendritic cells (G. Ferrara et al., submitted) [37, 40]. The aggregation of oval/spindle melanocytes with pale cytoplasm into discrete expansile nodules features a cellular blue nevus [23, 37]. © 2007 Springer-Verlag
