Researching on the margins:Landscape Archaeology in the Polcevera Valley
No full textSince the late 1980s the Laboratory for Ancient Topography of the University of Pisa has been carrying out archaeological surveys within the mountainous area of the Polcevera Valley (North Apennines, Central Liguria).
Towards an appraisal of the ancient history of this landscape it seemed clear that data retrieved from traditional survey approaches (i.e. site-recovery issues) and interpretations based on traditional material classes (i.e. Roman fine-wares) could only emphasise the marginal character of the Valley as related to Rome and its territorial expectations (in fact mirroring the general views expressed by ancient authors about Liguria). At the same time, an outstanding epigraphic source, the Sententia Minuciorum (117 BC), reported of Ligurian economic and social structures, surviving even along a major Roman road (the via Postumia, 148 BC) and preserving a specific way of life.
This paper aims to outlining the distinctive character of the Valley across Antiquity from a more embedded perspective, touching also on both the methodological and interpretative implications that researchers have to face in dealing with such a liminal - marginal landscape
A imagem de Alessandro Baricco no Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here

La maturità di Alessandro Fei del Barbiere, in bilico tra Maniera e Riforma
No full textThis article studies the mature career of the Florentine painter Alessandro Fei del Barbiere (1537-1592), beginning with the rediscovery of the 'Ascension' altarpiece formerly in the Albizi Chapel in the destroyed church of San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Studying this painting and others recorded in 1584 by the biographer Raffaello Borghini, such as the two altarpieces for Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Madonna dell'Umiltà in Pistoia, the author reconstructs a body of works showing how in the 1580s Fei gradually went beyond the archaic style of his apprenticeship - he had been trained by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio and Pierfrancesco Foschi, but was also marked by the Maniera of Vasari - evolving towards naturalism in both mimesis and pictorial handling. In Florence, his development partly parallels that of Santi di Tito and his circle, but Fei was also influenced by a probable sojourn during the early part of that decade in Rome, where he could have been inspired by Girolamo Muziano and the painters working for Pope Gregory XIII. Among other proposals, the author suggests that the artist was responsible for decorating the chancel of Fiesole Cathedral (c. 1584-1589), which consisted of an altarpiece, only rarely discussed by scholars, and a cycle of frescoes hitherto attributed to Nicodemo Ferrucci
Bridging the gap. New data on the settlement continuity in Parma from the stone bridge
No full textIl contributo riguarda il c.d. ponte romano di Parma, finora mai interessato da uno studio sistematico e ora accessibile dopo la recente risistemazione dell'area archeologica e il suo inglobamento nel nuovo hub universitario. Il monumento viene esaminato a partire dalle fonti antiche e postantiche, dallo scandaglio della documentazione negli archivi parmensi, dalla sua contestualizzazione al settore urbano per poi arrivare a un nuovo inquadramento alla luce del GIS urbano in corso di realizzazione su Parma e dei recenti dati geoarcheologici, stratigrafici, di chimica-fisica applicata ai beni culturali. L'insieme delle informazioni racccolte, unitamente all'analisi tecnica e al rilevamento del ponte resi possibili dalla sua riapertura, consentono una nuova e originale proposta di lettura dell'edificio
Tra socialdemocrazie e Perestrojka. Le relazioni internazionali del Pci attraverso le carte di Alessandro Natta
No full textThis essay reconstructs the foreign policy of the Italian Communist Party during the four
years of Alessandro Natta’s secretariat (1984-1988) through largely original archival documentation,
from the Alessandro Natta Fonds of the Historical Archive of the Chamber of
Deputies. Natta’s papers are also cross-referenced with those kept in the PCI Archive at the
Gramsci Foundation. The author analyses the relationship that the PCI establishes with
Gorbachev’s Perestroika, Deng’s China, and European social democracies during the last
years of the Cold War
FALERII NOVI (COMUNE DI FABRICA DI ROMA, PROVINCIA DI VITERBO, REGIONE LAZIO)
No full textAs part of the Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded ‘Beneath the Surface of Roman Republican Cities’ project (2015–17), in 2015 our team started a full-coverage ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey of the entire intramural area of the Roman town of Falerii Novi (c. 28 hectares), paired with an assessment of the unpublished pottery from the excavations of 1969–75, in order to further extend our knowledge and understanding of the Roman town and its earlier phases of settlement (Launaro et al., 2016). The 2016 survey fieldwork has increased the total surveyed area to c. 19 hectares, roughly corresponding to two-thirds of the surface to be covered. The sectors so far explored include the central forum, the northern half of the settlement and, to the south, the theatre area
