The Draghi Government put to the Test by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan
No full textThe political and institutional trajectory of Italy was clearly punctu-
ated by the economic upheavals of the pandemic. The articles in
the special issue aim to assess the character of the institutional
change prompted by the economic response to the pandemic, and
in particular by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), in
different policy areas. Three contributions analyse the reform
dynamics related to the strategic axis of the Italian NRRP, namely
digitalization and innovation (Ottone and Barbieri), the ecological
transition (Cotta and Domorenok), and social inclusion as concerns
labour-market policies (Tassinari). Two contributions focus on two
overarching priorities of the NRRP: gender equality (Donà) and
development of southern Italy (Cerruto, Cersosimo and Raniolo).
Finally, one contribution focuses on reform of the public adminis-
tration, which has been identified as a key area, affecting horizon-
tally all missions in the NRRP (Di Mascio, Natalini and Profeti).
Overall, the articles in the special issue highlight that the pandemic
has been followed by a process of institutional change that
occurred both incrementally and unevenly, often disguising sub-
stantial continuity
Il rapporto Stato-Regioni nella fase ascendente del PNRR italiano
No full textIl contributo affronta il ruolo svolto dalle Regioni italiane nella c.d. «fase ascendente» del PNRR, ovvero la fase di formulazione del piano, delle sue priorità, e della messa a punto della governance complessiva che dovrebbe presiedere alla fase della sua implementazione. Dapprima si chiarisce perché – a dispetto delle previsioni regolamentari dell’Unione europea (UE), che assegnano ai governi nazionali la piena responsabilità della formulazione e dell’attuazione dei Piani – sarebbe stato lecito at-tendersi un coinvolgimento del livello di governo intermedio già fin dalla definizione dell’agenda del PNRR e dei suoi contenuti. Successivamente, si guarda a quanto le Regioni siano state effettivamente chiamate in causa nella genesi e nella scrittura del Piano, e in che forme e modalità (ovvero tramite canali istituzionali o più politici/informali) si sia sostanziato il loro apporto, sia nella fase iniziale di elaborazione della prima bozza, avviata durante il Governo Conte II, sia in fase di finalizzazione della versione conclusiva inviata all’UE dal Governo Draghi a fine aprile 2021. Il saggio si conclude poi con un paio di riflessioni su alcuni elementi critici dell’attuale sistema di relazioni tra Stato e Regioni in Italia, messi in luce dalla vicenda in esam
Tautogrammi d'amore: il Catullo e Clodia dalla A alla Z di Alessandro Biotti
No full textAlessandro Biotti ci offre qui una nuova formidabile riscrittura della grande storia d’amore fra il poeta Catullo e la sua Clodia, cantata con il criptonimo di «Lesbia»: le vicende dei due celeberrimi amanti sono calate in 21 capitoli, ciascuno all’insegna di una delle 21 lettere del nostro alfabeto, e rigorosamente tenuto a sfruttare parole esclusivamente inizianti per quella singola specifica lettera (H, Q, U e Z comprese). Aprire a caso per credere. Questo nuovo lepido libretto è una magnifica giostra, una ridda, un vortice di felici trovate che procura momenti di gioia e di svago al fortunato lettore che lo incontra. Anche se non mancano realistiche impennate di vita che fino a giorni recenti sarebbero state (come del resto lo stesso liber di Catullo) censurabili e censurate – richiami, oltre che innocenti tutto sommato innocui, a universi erotici oggi esperibili con ben diversa facilità tramite un semplice click –, si rivelerebbe utilissimo anche nella didattica scolastica. Sulle ali della leggerezza e del divertimento, consentirebbe di accostare un mondo che ai senes severiores (ma non meno ai iuvenes e ai cattivi profeti di mezza età) sembra lontano e naufragato in un irrecuperabile, polveroso, ammuffito passato
Administrative reforms in the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan: a selective approach to bridge the capacity gap
No full textThe article investigates the impact of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, complemented by changes in the composition of government at the domestic level, on the patterns of administrative reforms in Italy. We draw on research arguments that rest on historical institutionalism, which constitutes an established approach to the study of administrative reforms. We elaborate on how history has connected well-established patterns of administrative reform to the design and governance of the NRRP measures that aim to provide better public services. We find the strongest support for the research arguments derived from the reactive approach to policy sequencing, entailing the co-existence of pre-pandemic patterns and innovative policy feature
Administrative reform under mutating populism in office. Insights from Italy (2018-2022)
No full textThis paper tracks the dynamics of administrative reform across two areas (civil service, simplification) in Italy, focusing on the XVIII parliamentary term, which has been characterized by the presence of populist parties in three different coalition governments (Conte I, Conte II, Draghi). The alternation in power between different governments has occurred in a context marked by the shift of the EU economic governance from a logic of conditionality to a logic of solidarity in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. After a decade of EU-led austerity, the shift of the EU economic governance was expected to support and enable administrative reform at the national level. Our findings reveal that the structural lack of time induced the Draghi government to focus administrative reforms on a limited number of domains to produce quick and relevant results. This selective approach focused on capacity building represented an improvement into patterns of administrative reform if compared with what happened under the Conte I and II government, which have displayed a marked chasm between the level of talk and the level of action. This has been due partly to populist parties having not pursued a distinctive agenda in matters of administrative reform beyond the loud tones, and partly to EU fiscal constraints
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
The entropy of alpha-continued fractions: numerical results
No full textWe consider the one-parameter family of interval maps arising from generalized continued fraction expansions known as a-continued fractions. For such maps, we perform a numerical study of the behaviour of metric entropy as a function of the parameter. The behaviour of entropy is known to be quite regular for parameters for which a matching condition on the orbits of the endpoints holds. We give a detailed description of the set M where this condition is met: it consists of a countable union of open intervals, corresponding to different combinatorial data, which appear to be arranged in a hierarchical structure. Our experimental data suggest that the complement of M is a proper subset of the set of bounded-type numbers, hence it has measure zero. Furthermore, we give evidence that the entropy on matching intervals is smooth; on the other hand, we can construct points outside of M on which it is not even locally monotone
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
Matching in a family of piecewise affine maps
No full textWe consider a class of simple one parameter families of interval maps, and we study how metric (resp. topological) entropy changes as the parameter varies. We show that in many cases the entropy displays a semi-regular behaviour, i.e. it is smooth on an open and dense set. This feature is due to a combinatorial property called matching, which was first observed in the parametric family of α-continued fractions introduced by Nakada and Natsui (2008 Nonlinearity 21 1207–25)
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
