La montagna della Sibilla. Introduzione
No full textIl testo introduce il testo di M. Vaquero Piñeiro dedicato ad una profonda riflessione sulle caratteristiche del territorio dell'Appennino centrale e il suo sviluppo nel corso degli ultimi secoli, in cui queste terre sono state martoriate da terremoti, conseguenti crisi economiche e progressivo abbandono. Nell'Introduzione si rimarcano gli effetti devastanti del sisma, non solo sull'organizzazione economica, sulla struttura sociale, ma anche sulla psiche degli abitanti, sulla loro identità, segnando profondamente le comunità. Ma nello stesso tempo il sisma può essere capace di mostrare anche la fora di una comunità che resiste, adattandosi e modificando pratiche e saperi per costruire nuove forme di resilienza

No full textThe tall storage elevators that dot the interior plains of North America are part of a carefully planned network for the collection and distribution of grain. The elevators and the small towns adjacent to them were situated by rail-road companies during the late 19th century when the continent’s agricultural heartland was being settled.
Increases in agricultural production, a shift in emphasis from domestic to export
production, and technological change in grain storage and transportation have
produced visible changes in the old system of grain elevators. Today, as in the
past, decisions a!ecting location of grain-storage elevators on the landscape are
worked out carefully to minimize transportation costs. In this transformation of
the landscape, particular attention has been paid to the definition of construction techniques that have greatly influenced the redesign of the skylines of the American and Canadian prairie
Italian Wine and Enology in the United States (1861-1914)
No full textDuring the second half of the 19th century, the world fame of Italian wine began
to form. The international exhibitions, the foundation of specialized scholastic
institutions, the birth of companies and the technical-scientific divulgation
created the conditions of production and marketing of quality wines. The
diffusion of Italian wine in the United States is an eloquent example of the
changes produced by the internationalization of markets between the end of the
19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. For Italian wine, the United
States became a point of comparison and encouragement. A central role was
played by the winemaking office created by the Italian government in New York.
The objective of the office was to favor wine imports and the circulation of news.
The head of the office did an intense job of information but also devoted himself
to the analysis of the wine that came from Italy to ensure that it was not
adulterated and respected the sanitary norms in force in the country. The action of
the office, which even gave advice on the characteristics of the wines, contributed
to the formation of a more modern oenological culture among the Italian
winemakers who opened themselves to the United States market. All this favored
the increase in imports and consumption of Italian wine as shown by the menus
of the restaurants. Following the historiographical debate on the effects of the
first phase of the globalization of the economy, the objective of the work is to
demonstrate that in addition to the massive Italian immigration, the Italian quality
wine was consolidated in the United States thanks to a series of initiatives and
public and private strategies
Inventare la città reale: Buenos Aires "scritta" da Claudia Piñeiro

She writes about an ideal place, the country, a “private” neighbourhood that becomes the scene of desperate urban lives
