Tsunami hazard scenarios in the Adriatic Sea domain
No full textThe tsunami phenomenon is mainly detected in oceanic domains but it can also occur in small basins as the Adriatic Sea. The presence of great waves has been recorded a few times in the past centuries on the Adriatic shorelines, therefore this suggests the idea to evaluate which could be the maximum amplitude reached by a possible future tsunami event. In this framework we calculate several synthetic mareograms applying to the shallow water basin case both the theory of modal summation by Panza et al. (2000) and the theory of the Green's function by Yanovskaya et al. (2003). The first is applied to the case of tsunamis generated by an offshore source, the second to the case of tsunamis generated by an inland source. Both kinds of tsunamigenic events did already occur in the Adriatic domain, as witnessed in many catalogues (Caputo and Faita, 1984; Bedosti and Caputo, 1986; Tinti et al., 2004) and also pointed out in the recent "Catalogue of reported tsunami events in the Adriatic Sea" (see Appendix).
We calculate synthetic mareograms varying those parameters which are the most influencing in tsunami generation, such as magnitude, focal depth, water layer thickness, etc., in order to estimate the expected values of tsunami maximum amplitude and arrival time, in the whole Adriatic basin, for the selected scenarios

Optimization for nonlinear inverse problem
No full textThe non-linear inversion of geophysical data in general does not yield a unique solution, but a single model representing the investigated field, and is preferred for an easy geological interpretation of observations.
The analyzed region is constituted by a number of sub-regions where multi-valued non-linear inversion is applied, which leads to a multi-valued solution. Therefore, combining the values of the solution in each sub-region, many acceptable models are obtained for the entire region and this complicates the geological interpretation of geophysical investigations.
In this paper new methodologies are presented, capable of selecting one model among all acceptable ones, that satisfies different criteria of smoothness in the explored space of solutions. In this work we focus on the non-linear inversion of surface wave dispersion curves, which gives structural models of shear-wave velocity versus depth

Una facezia di Poggio nell'«Epirota» di Tommaso de Mezzo
No full textPrinted in 1483, Tommaso de Mezzo’s «Epirota» belongs to the second time of the
latin humanistic comedy of the Quattrocento, characterized by a strictly imitation of
Plaute (and also of Terence), more strong than in the texts of the first half of the century.
The first section of this paper presents Tommaso de Mezzo’s life and works, and plot,
types and subjects of «Epirota». The second part of the article offers the analysis of some
scenes of the comedy, in which the author clearly employs one of Bracciolini’s «Facetiae»
Nel giro del sangue, su Tommaso Ottonieri
No full textIl saggio analizza l'opera di Tommaso Ottonieri "Le strade che portano al Fùcino" mettendone in evidenza l'infrazione dei generi letterari, l'originalità dei nuclei poetici e di quelli narrativi, oltre alla stratificazione plurilinguistica che è cifra stilistica e allegorica dell'opera. Il saggio, inoltre, individua i rapporti di quest'opera di Ottonieri con le immagini visive e con la cultura musicale coeva e rintraccia anche rapporti intertestuali con precedenti opere poetiche, narrative e saggistiche dell'autore.The essay analyzes the work of Tommaso Ottonieri "Le strade che portano al Fùcino" highlighting the infringement of literary genres, the originality of poetic and narrative nuclei, in addition to the plurilingual stratification which is the stylistic and allegorical cipher of the Opera. Furthermore, the essay identifies the relationships of this work by Ottonieri with visual images and contemporary musical culture and also traces intertextual relationships with previous poetic works, narratives and essays by the author
L’olio in un aneddoto dalle biografie di Cesare (Plut. Caes. 17, 9–10 e Suet. Iul. 53)
No full textThe paper discusses a debated anecdote on Julius Caesar that Plutarch and Suetonius probably derived from the writer and politician Gaius Oppius. By examining some hitherto neglected Latin agronomic and gastronomic sources, the author provides some examples of olea condita used for culinary purposes and reassesses the interpretation of the anecdote

APROXIMACIÓN AL ESTUDIO DE LA LENGUA POÉTICA DE TOMMASO STIGLIANI
No full textEn este estudio hemos querido trazar un primer acercamiento al estudio de la lengua poética del autor italiano Tommaso Stigliani y lo hemos hecho analizando su mayor obra, Il Mondo Nuovo (1628), poema épico sobre el descubrimiento de América. Hemos analizado los principales fenómenos de la ortografía, la fonética, la morfología, la sintaxis y el léxico que aparecen en el texto, teniendo en cuenta la norma lingüística del siglo XVII y las opiniones y teorías de los principales lingüistas de la época. Con este estudio, por tanto, ofrecemos un acercamiento a la concepción de lengua poética que Tommaso Stigliani, a través de su poema y de sus escritos teóricos, puso de manifiesto a lo largo de su carrera literaria.
Abstract
In this study, we have attempted to make inroads into the study of the poetic language of the Italian author, Tommaso Stigliani, analysing his principal work, Il Mondo Nuovo (1628), an epic poem on the discovery of America. We have examined the main phenomena of orthography, phonetics, morphology, syntax and lexicon that appear in the text, taking into account the linguistic norms of the 17th century, as well as the opinions and theories of the major linguistic experts of that period. Our study, therefore, gives an insight into Tommaso Stigliani’s conception of poetic language, which, through his poem and his theoretical writings, he maintained for the duration of his literary career
