Un vocabolario è la più lunga e faticosa impresa che vi possa essere : Studio preliminare all’edizione delle Osservazioni e giunte da farsi al nuovo Vocabolario della Crusca di Antonio Rosmini
No full textAn enthusiastic interest in the Italian language and its vocabulary marks
Antonio Rosmini’s adolescence, as six autograph notebooks reveal. They
show an early, but resolute and determined passion towards linguistic stud-
ies. To date, Rosmini’s notebooks have not been critically studied as yet.
They contain more than 1500 notes, which reveals the seriousness and the
commitment of Rosmini’s work. By summarizing the origin and the development of the project of a new edition of the Vocabolario della Crusca, the
authors seek to frame a historical-linguistic analysis of a selected amount
of notes (“postille”) which they consider to be the most meaningful ones
for this purpose and which are taken from the first notebook, and which are
thought to be the most considerable sets of notes among the six notebooks
In the shadow of the church: the building of mosques in early medieval Syria
No full textIn his book In the Shadow of the Church: The Building of Mosques in Early Medieval Syria Mattia Guidetti examines the establishment of Muslim religious architecture within the Christian context in which it first appeared in the Syrian region, contributing to the debate on the transformation of late antique society to a Muslim one. He scrutinizes the slow process of conversion to Islam of the most important town centers by looking at religious places of both communities between the seventh and the eleventh century. The author assesses the relevancy of churches by analyzing the location of mosques and by researching phenomena of transfer of marble material from churches to mosques
Use of Simulated Patients in Disaster Medicine Training: A Systematic Review
No full textSimulation is an effective teaching tool in disaster medicine education, and the use of simulated patients (SPs) is a frequently adopted technique. Throughout this article, we critically analyzed the use and the preparation of SPs in the context of simulation in disaster medicine. A systematic review of English, French, and Italian language articles was performed on PubMed and Google Scholar. Studies were included if reporting the use of SPs in disaster medicine training. Exclusion criteria included abstracts, citations, theses, articles not dealing with disaster medicine, and articles not using human actors in simulation. Eighteen papers were examined. All the studies were conducted in Western countries. Case reports represent 50% of references. Only in 44.4% of articles, the beneficiaries of simulations were students, while in most of cases were professionals. In 61.1% of studies SPs were moulaged, and in 72.2%, a method to simulate victim symptoms was adopted. Ten papers included a previous training for SPs and their involvement in the participants' assessment at the end of the simulation. Finally, this systematic review revealed that there is still a lack of uniformity about the use of SPs in the disaster medicine simulations

We have previously examined the antiviral activity of resveratrol on the replication of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis and associated with several types of malignancies of epithelial and lymphoid origin.
In a cellular context that allows in vitro EBV activation and lytic cycle progression through mechanisms closely resembling those that in vivo initiate and enable productive infection, we found that RV inhibited EBV lytic genes expression and the production of viral particles in a dose-dependent manner
Does Independence Affect Regulatory Performance? The case of national competition authorities in the European Union
No full textDespite having always been assumed to be true, a relationship between the independence of regulatory agencies and their performance has never been formally tested. This paper aims at verifying whether formal regulatory independence affects the performance of national competition authorities in the EU member states. The author presents and discusses a statistical analysis which shows that greater formal independence leads competition authorities to investigate more cases and to issue more decisions
Caterina Colombini (1304 ca.-1387) o della cugina sedotta. Una ‘ricostruzione’ della figura di Caterina attraverso i testi letterari, in Le vestigia dei gesuati. L’eredità culturale del Colombini e dei suoi seguaci, a cura di I. Gagliardi, Firenze, Firenze University Press, 2020, pp. 57-71 ISBN 978-88-5518-227-0
No full textIn this essay the author demonstrates that it is possible to reconstruct the figure of Caterina Colombini (1340?-1387) – Giovanni Colombini's cousin – through a group of texts: the hagiography of Caterina, the letters sent to her by Giovanni Colombini and, finally, Giovanni's biography written by Feo Belcari. The author divides his text into four parts: the first part analyzes the content of Caterina's hagiography; the second examines the linguistic form of the hagiographic text; in the third, the author analyzes the latent meaning of the window, a symbolic place where Giovanni and Caterina converse on divine topics; in the last part, to conclude, the teachings that Giovanni gives to Catherine and her spiritual daughters – the Gesuate – are analyzed

The album of Mattia De Rossi’s drawings. Projects for the Galleria Colonna ai Santi Apostoli
No full textThe study proposed here on Mattia De Rossi, a pupil of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his most trusted collaborator, is part of an investigation that the author is doing on the figure of the architect, making use of an obvious investigative tool: his drawings.
In particular, the exceptional discovery of a bound volume of about 200 drawings of Mattia is a resource of great effectiveness for the study of his professional figure. Among the sheets of the collection, those relating to the construction site of the Galleria Colonna in the eponymous palace in Piazza SS. Apostoli in Rome, are presented.
These drawings explain the important contribution of Mattia and the creative process that led him to the definitive version of the central hall of the gallery. The drawings are also the only graphic documents related to the project of the Galleria Colonna, now only partially known through hypothetical reconstructions.
The case of the Palazzo Colonna is similar to other projects included in the volume, which enlighten us on De Rossi's career, and which explain his position in several important Roman buildings of the second half of seventeenth centur
A Choreographic Dialogue with Caribbean Poetry: The Sacredness of the Feminine in Walcott's Omeros (1990)
No full textThe aim of this paper is to show how the poetry and art of Caribbean writer Derek Walcott (1930-2017) tends to manifest and substantiate the desirable cultural transformation promoted by the work of the American anthropologist and scholar Riane Eisler. The recognition and the exaltation of symbols connected to the feminine world stand at the core of Walcott’s masterpiece Omeros. In a creative mutual dialogue between different genres and identities, the Caribbean author materialises Eisler’s attempts to forge a type of society based on a new partnership ethic. In a second perspective, this paper analyses how Walcott’s work opens the path to possible creative interdisciplinary approaches in the world of the arts. In my own contribution, as a professional dancer and choreographer, I have tried to “give voice” through movements to some episodes relating to the feminine included in Omeros
