    Gli scavi condotti nel 2016 dall’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Federico II” nel Foro di Cuma hanno indagato una grande fossa di spoliazione tardoantica determinata dalla completa asportazione di un tratto del portico monumentale in tufo che chiudeva lo spazio aperto della piazza sul lato settentrionale. I livelli al di sotto della fondazione del portico hanno restituito manufatti ceramici che concorrono a fissare la datazione dell’impianto intorno alla metà del III secolo a.C. Tra questi materiali vi è un frammento di coppa a vernice nera decorata a rilievo. L’inquadramento morfo-tipologico e l’analisi del motivo decorativo del medaglione stampigliato sul fondo della coppa ne consentono l’attribuzione alla produzione calena di K(aeso) Atilio(s), ceramista attivo nella prima metà del III secolo a. C

    How to read a classic of literature such as the Decameron through a mediological approach? According to a first reflection on the general structure of the work, the author investigates the reasons making the text a decisive moment of rupture and innovation in the history of communication and culture. Main issues concern: Firstly, the medium's invention we are used to calling "literature", through the abandonment of the late medieval forms of written textuality. Significant changes in the medium's structure are related with the silent reading spread, and with the new social life complexity in cities. Secondly, the awareness of the reality-phenomenon ambiguity, and the consequent need to face it through a full sensorial experience: With Boccaccio emerged a revanche of the image, imagination, eros, in contrast with the pressure of the logical order of the normative and allegorical writing, and that opposition was regulated giving narrative expression to open conflicts. Thirdly, the introduction of a particular storytelling technology based on the ambiguity of discourse and situations, being interpreted on several levels. Finally, the spaces metaphorical values: Florence, the plague city, as an overturning for a new necessary beginning; and the garden in the "cornice", as a recognition of the subject sensitive nature in its relationship with the world

    Holistic Development

    The way in which holistic development can be pursued depends on how sustainable business models are constructed by actors involved in the value creation (Boons and Lüdeke-Freund 2013). In this respect, consistent leadership models (i.e., ethical leadership and responsible leadership) are crucial because entrepreneurs and managers play a key role in shaping the organizational culture and the decision-making process that affect their everyday routine, as well as intra-organization procedures and structures (Melé 2012; Del Baldo 2016). Ethical leadership rests on personal traits and behaviors such as integrity and transparency in communication with stakeholders (Brown 2005; Capaldi 2013). Responsible leadership facilitates the involvement of stakeholders and the creation of a cohesive internal and external community cemented by values and moral convictions (Jones 2014). The ‘pillars’ by which responsible leaders guide the company toward holistic development include stakeholder consideration, communication, empowerment, inclusion, and long-term orientation (Magni and Pennarola 2015). In summary, holistic development rests on a business model consistent with a leadership model that allows companies to share a strategic orientation toward an integrated development paradigm
