The Classics of the First Lorenzo de' Medici. For a New Critical Reading of Corinth
No full textopenIl presente lavoro si propone di rileggere una delle prime opere di Lorenzo de’ Medici, "Corinto", attraverso temi letterari che lo caratterizzano, tenendo presente i modelli latini, greci e italiani ai quali l’autore attinge e confrontandone altri, pertinenti ai temi analizzati. Dopo una rapida introduzione sul contesto storico in cui il poemetto si inserisce, esso viene presentato per quanto concerne il contenuto e la storia redazionale, approfondita nell’Appendice, dove si presentano inoltre i testi di riferimento. Segue dunque la nuova lettura critica. La riflessione sul concetto di classico e su Lorenzo quale autore e personaggio del poemetto conclude l’analisi.The present work aims to re-read one of Lorenzo de’ Medici’s first works, "Corinto", through the literary themes which characterize it, keeping in mind the Latin, Greek and Italian models on which the author draws and comparing others, pertinent to the themes analyzed. After a quick introduction to the historical context in which the poem fits, it is presented in terms of content and editorial history, detailed in the Appendix, where the reference texts are also presented. Thus follows the new critical reading. The reflection on the concept of classic and on Lorenzo as author and character of the poem concludes the analysis
Sustainable management of sea urchins. From resource conservation to aquaculture promotion in a circular economy perspective
No full textSea urchins are among the invertebrates that play a pivotal role in structuring and controlling marine benthic macrophyte communities and can be considered the main grazers in shallow seas around the world. The most studied in Mediterranean Sea is Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck 1816), since, in addition to being one of the most widespread, it is the one with the greatest commercial interest. Moreover, despite many efforts to start aquaculture processes that cover the entire production cycle of this resource, at present, market demand is almost exclusively based on harvesting, and several examples of depletion of natural stocks due to fishing pressure are reported. However, the decline of P. lividus populations has also been reported in areas like the Ligurian Sea, where the sea urchin is not considered a species of commercial interest. Probably, it is due to the fact that they are very sensitive to indirect anthropogenic impacts: stressors related to climate change and the presence of pollutants can lead to abnormal larval development, reduced survival of larvae and juveniles, and impaired reproductive success of adults due to effects on gamete quality, threatening survival of entire populations.
This study had two main objectives, the first being the characterisation of P. lividus populations at different sites in the Ligurian Sea, in order to investigate their health status (abundance and size distribution) and hypothesise the possible causes of their regression. While the second was the promotion of sustainable sea urchin aquaculture through the formulation of new experimental feeds, enriched with high Mg and Ca content biocarbonates and antioxidant substances. Those components were directly derived from the processing of sea urchins waste from gonad-packing industries, in a circular economy perspective

DeepThought: a Reputation and Voting-based Blockchain Oracle
No full textThanks to built-in immutability and persistence, the blockchain is often seen as a promising technology to certify information. However, when the information does not originate from the blockchain itself, its correctness cannot be taken for granted. To address this limitation, blockchain oracles -- services that validate external information before storing it in a blockchain -- were introduced. In particular, when the validation cannot be automated, oracles rely on humans that collaboratively cross-check external information. In this paper, we present DeepThought, a distributed human-based oracle that combines voting and reputation schemes. An empirical evaluation compares DeepThought with a state-of-the-art solution and shows that our approach achieves greater resistance to voters corruptions in different configurations

A Florentine family in crisis: the Strozzi in the fifteenth century.
No full textPhDIn 1434 the Strozzi lineage had held a leading position in
Florentine society and government for at least one hundred and fifty
years, and was one of the largest and wealthiest of the city's
patrician lineages. The records of the catasto of 1427 and of the
scrutiny of 1433 are used to give a profile of the dominant social,
economic and political position of the Strozzi before the advent of
Medicean dominance. Their record of electoral success, and the
political and cultural leadership of influential and respected men
such as Palla di Nofri and Matteo di Simone, with other factors, put
the Strozzi amongst the greatest enemies of the victorious Medicean
regime of late 1434. The effects of political opposition and exile
on the lineage are examined both directly, through records of office-holding,
and indirectly through such indicators as marriage alliances
and household wealth. The two most prominent lines of the Strozzi
were exiled after 1434. Palla di Nofri's life and preoccupations in
his Paduan exile are examined, together with the lives of his sons;
none of these Strozzi ever returned to Florence, pursued as they were
by the enmity of the Medicean regime. The very different careers of
Filippo di Matteo and his brother Lorenzo are also examined: how they
succeeded in founding a lucrative bank in Naples, and in returning to
Florence to 'rebuild' (rifare) the position of the Strozzi lineage
there. The final decades of the century saw the Strozzi in an
economically more secure position, due substantially to the efforts
of Filippo. Except for a very small number of its members admitted
into the regime, most of the lineage is here shown to have remained
excluded from significant political office until after the fall of
the Medici regime in 1494
