Caterina Colombini, o della cugina sedotta. Una ‘ricostruzione’ della figura di Caterina attraverso i testi
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

Caterina Tarabotti Unveiled
No full textCaterina Tarabotti (1615–1693) never identified herself as a painter in contemporary
documents or claimed authorship of any picture with her signature. She would have
surely joined the ranks of the many anonymous women painters of her time, were
it not for the art critic and historian Marco Boschini (1602–1681). In his La Carta
del Navegar Pitoresco (1660), Boschini was the first to notice Caterina’s talents and
provide information about her life.1
Alluding to her namesake saint and surname,
Boschini infused the painter’s biography with lyric flair. A light coming out of the
Varotari workshop, Caterina was, according to Boschini, a virgin very gifted in
painting. She herself honored art with her achievements, which came effortlessly.
Comparing her to a silver lamp that never burns out, the author, with a sense of
optimism, concluded that Caterina would live forever and her name would bear
eternal light and splendor
Alternanza scuola lavoro, turismo intergenerazionale e patto tra le generazioni
No full textSince 1999, the Generational Meetings Laboratory has been proposing research/experimentation on "intergenerational tourism" in different national contexts, collaborating with the A.R.I.P.T. Fo.R.P. Association (Interdisciplinary Research Association of Tourism Psychology - Training, Research, Planning).
Following the guidelines provided by the Managers in Environment and Intergenerational Tourism, these multi-theoretical and multi-methodological studies have used the Law 107/2015 for the Alternating School Work: from 2016 in Sfruz -Trento- and San Pellegrino Terme -Bergamo-; from 2018 in Chiusi -Siena- and Viterbo.
The general training objectives pursued by the project are as follows: the enrichment of the personality of the students, through the relationship with the sensitivities of the small group of the elderly; the interaction between young and elderly people in a phase of identity crisis of the adolescent and the retired; the acquisition of skills for the knowledge of the territory (through intergenerational communication) in its historical, economic, social and cultural evolution; the enhancement of cultural and environmental heritage; the learning of communication methods often little known to the elderly through computer labs where young people "teach" the elderly. The new role of student-teacher reinforces the identity of the young person, which slowly connote school learning, transversal knowledge and future professional images...
Among the main results obtained at national level, the contribution presents those of the research/experiments that -started in 2002- were recently conducted in the area of Viterbo, where the class alternation, currently called "Path for transversal skills and guidance" is configured rather as a cycle of preparatory meetings and motivational intergenerational tourism.
Intergenerational tourism in Viterbo stands out for: an intense network work coordinated by Caritas Diocesana in synergy with the Provincial Acli; a themed tourism that evokes traditions, is attentive to the environment and enhances the local history and culture; the continuity of the intergenerational calendar throughout the year. The results confirm the stages of evolution of intergenerational communication introduced by A. Albanese (2001) from the "approach" to "generative creativity"; the latter is expressed in Viterbo in the pact between generations in favour of local communities and the environment.
Intergenerational tourism is thus outlined as one of the new thematic and quality tourism, attentive to the natural and historical-cultural environment that is "protected", "promoted", "socialized" and "strengthened" through the intergenerational relationship, on the basis of collaborations between organizations and institutions, through active initiatives throughout the year

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the author. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Organic light emitting transistors (OLETs) represent a relatively new technology platform in the field of optoelectronics. An OLET is a device with a two-fold functionality since it behaves as a thin-film transistor and at the same time can generate light under appropriate bias conditions. This Review focuses mainly on one of the building blocks of such device, namely the gate dielectrics, and how it is possible to engineer it to improve device properties and performances. While many findings on gate dielectrics can be easily applied to organic light emitting transistors, we here concentrate on how this layer can be exploited and engineered as an active tool for light manipulation in this novel class of optoelectronic devices.Peer reviewe

Il Turismo come Conoscenza e Valorizzazione Intergenerazionale dei Beni: il Teatro dell’Unione di Viterbo.
No full textAfter an excursus that synthesizes the history of the Generational Meetings Laboratory and A.R.I.P.T. Fo.R.P. in the design, implementation and monitoring of intergenerational tourism research/experimentations carried out on the national territory, this paper briefly reviews the theoretical references and the methodology used.
Reference is therefore made to the results obtained in the research/experimentations in Viterbo, to which the most recent training projects of Alternanza Scuola Lavoro for high school students (today PCTO) have also contributed. Despite the specificity of each research/experimentation, a common model has been identified in the evolution of the relationships between the participants. This model of intergenerational communication develops according to the phases of "rapprochement", "knowledge" and "empathy" (Albanese, 2001). In Viterbo "City for Fraternity" the research results are characterized by a rich dimension of values:
- "objectified" according to the Theory of Social Representations (Moscovici, 1961/1976) in an Intergenerational Values and Environmental Education Path;
- highlighted by values evoked by the participants such as: altruism, friendship, sharing, brotherhood, integration, solidarity, union, family, etc.
It exposes the PCTO carried out in 2018/2019 in Viterbo in accordance with a network agreement between A.R.I.P.T. Fo.R.P., ACLI, Caritas, Liceo delle Scienze Umane e Liceo Musicale “Santa Rosa da Viterbo” for the knowledge and intergenerational valorization of goods and environment. A particular focus is reserved to the stage of the Teatro dell'Unione, with its high symbolic value, as well as historical, artistic and cultural.
The article highlights the specific objectives agreed with the School and illustrates the design and implementation of the training course in the various stages of implementation. The description of the activities carried out leaves room for the protagonists: the school as an essential part of a wider network made up of public and private bodies that have been supporting the projects in Viterbo since 2002.
The evaluation of the work carried out in 2019 has inspired the creation of a small book including narratives and images on the memory of the City of Viterbo through the Teatro dell'Unione. Some hypotheses are formulated for the development of the project for the next school years, according to the slogan coined in 2019: "Grandparents and Grandchildren: the Union is the strength

Recovery time and propagation effects of passenger transport disruptions
No full textWe propose a method to evaluate public transport network vulnerability. We study the evolution of the passenger Volume Over Capacity (VOC) ratio throughout the network to measure the spatial and temporal extent of the impacts caused by an unplanned service segment disruption. The VOC ratio provides an indication of the on-board travel comfort, an important level-of-service indicator, as well as reflects the residual capacity for absorbing additional demand. Because of the dynamic nature of public transport systems, disturbances propagate through the network in both time and space. Our modelling approach is able to capture transit system dynamics and quantify the extent to which the network exhibits spillover effects. We apply the method to the case of the rapid public transport system of Stockholm Sweden We demonstrate how the changes in network saturation and the corresponding recovery time can be quantified.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Transport and Plannin
