Giustizia e crimine nel Mantovano del tardo Settecento
No full textJustice and Crime in Late Eighteenth-Century Mantua
This essays starts with a general survey of the radical reforms of justice
carried out in Austrian Lombardy during the reign of Joseph II, including
the restructuring of courts and the adoption of a new regulation for
criminal trials (the Norma interinale del processo criminale, published in
1786). It then focuses on the functions and activities of the Appellation
and other Courts in the province of Mantua, a territory comprising
218.000 inhabitants. On the basis of rich archival sources, the author
depicts the range of crimes brought to trials and of the punishments inflicted;
he also illustrates the working of criminal procedure in a short,
but eventful stretch of time (1789-1796). The analysis of individual
criminal cases and of the statistical tables periodically drawn up by judges
directs our attention to the underlying social and economic problems,
magnified by the difficulties of the time both in Lombardy and in Europe
as a whole. Offenses against property tend to grow in number; they
are usually committed by poor peasants, handworkers or vagrants and
are invariably dealt harsh sentences; begging is more and more widespread,
violence is rife in families and communities; riots are not infrequent,
especially against Jewish minorities. In spite of the shortage in

bureaucratic and police personnel, the Mantual magistracy swiftly deals
with a growing number of trials (thousands of trials in a few years) and
succeeds in coping with crime repression without giving up respect for
procedure and for the basic rights of defendant

La «scientificità» della pedagogia ermeneutica
No full textThe author investigates the relationship between scientific pedagogy and hermeneutic pedagogy. Research has entered into the epistemology of human sciences and their different positions. The author begins with the well known duality between analytic and continental arguing that this opposition, despite being just and well founded, should be reread and reinterpreted to subtract the hermeneutic pedagogy from a state of weakness and immaturity. This short dissertation on the scientific dimension of pedagogy never loses sight of a paradigm now very important as the complexity
The fish circadian timing system: The illuminating case of light-responsive peripheral clocks [*Pagano C. first author]
No full textEU Cohesion-Policies and Metropolitan Areas
No full textAbstractThe European Union has allocated a considerable part of cohesion-policies funds to urban development, recognising urban areas as key-components for social and economic development. They represent at the same time the engine of economy and the social unrest - such as poverty, unemployment and exclusion - the environmental concerns - such as pollution, resource management, urban planning to the maximum extent. Hence there is the need of a sustainable, functional and flexible urban approach to the development, which can meet the different local needs, overcoming metric definitions to classify the manifold connotations of urban agglomerations, characterized by a close network of formal, informal, concrete and virtual relations extending beyond geographic and administrative boundaries to reach an easy territorial management according to the principle of a variable geometry. Only taking up the challenge of an integrated approach, in order to realize a smart sustainable and inclusive society, the European urban network can become a catalyst of innovation and creativity. The Metropolitan City plays a primary role in terms of attractiveness and allocation of resources for development. It can also be a suitable reference framework for the economic recovery with the aim of defining and address the development in relation to the typical features in order to make it competitive both at national and international level

“Questa turba infame a comun danno unita”. Delinquenti, marginali, magistrati nel Mantovano asburgico (1750-1800)
No full textThis study examines the structures and the considerable changes that took place in the criminal justice system in the City of Mantua and its province, a territory comprising about 200,000 inhabitants in the second half of 18th century, from the reign of Maria Theresa to which of emperor Francis II: that was an eventful stretch of time, till the revolutionary French occupation of Northern Italy (1796-1800). It starts with a general survey of the radical reforms of justice carried out in Austrian Lombardy, including the restructuring of Courts – from the Supreme Council of Justice to others crown Courts, judges and their police forces – and the adoption of a new regulation for criminal trials in 1786. A prosopographic investigation let the author to rough out the careers of magistrates, both nobles and commoners. Based on rich archival sources, the historical analysis depicts the range of crimes brought to trials and of the punishments inflicted. In 1784 torture and capital punishment are abolished by Joseph II, while modern prisons begin to be enabled. The author also illustrates the working of criminal procedure, policing institutions and personal data of offenders and lower people under prosecution. Many individual criminal cases and the statistical tables periodically drawn up by judges direct our attention to the underlying social and economic problems, as the growth of vagrancy, theft, robbery shows. Offenses against property, particularly, tend to grow in number; they are usually committed by poor peasants, handworkers, but sometimes by gangs or, not infrequently, even by watches of the Courts. Begging is more and more widespread, violence is rife in families and communities. Riots are not frequents, but sometimes they go off especially against Jewish minorities, as in 1754, 1759, 1790-92. In spite of the shortage in bureaucratic and police personnel, in the last two decades considered the Mantua magistracy swiftly deals with a growing number of trials (several thousands) and succeeds in coping with crime without giving up respect for procedure and for the basic rights of defendants. The last chapter, devoted to compare Mantua case to other Italians and Europeans during the same period, demonstrates similarities and differences, in various fields regarding criminal laws and types of illegalities. The overall, in-depth analysis of such occurrences allows the author to revise some stereotypes in literature and historiography about crime and punishment in the Ancien Régime
Il privilegio delle armi. La Milizia Nazionale nel Ducato di Mantova (secoli XVI-XVIII)
No full textIn the early modern territorial states, in connection with the military revolution, alongside professional armies one of the characteristic phenomena was the establishment of 'militias': permanent, low-cost reserve armed forces recruited by sovereigns through selective levies of subjects. That military service, free in principle, was encorauged by tax and judicial privileges in addition to the coveted port of arms. In this essay focused on the Duchy of Mantua, a small State with a high strategic value, the author, using unpublished primary sources in a comparative key with the renewed historiography on the 'military', offers an in-depth analysis of the Milizia Nazionale created by the Gonzaga and maintained under the House of Habsbourg. The Mantuan militia, employed in various tasks - garrison, territorial defence, civil protection, fight against crime - was a precocious and long-lasting institution, given its structure mirroring the hierarchies and the patronage system of the ancient régime society
Self-similarity and Long Range Dependence in teletraffic
No full textSelf-similarity plays an important role, at least over a finite number of scales, in natural phenomena as well as complex technology-related systems. One of the most surprising examples is provided by telecommunication networks, where the shift from circuit-switching to packet-switching has led to a deep change in the stochastic nature of traffic flows. The concepts of self-similarity, long range dependence and heavy tails, widely used in traffic modelling, are closely related among them and strongly influence network performance. Hence, this overview, based on the research and teaching experience of the author, presents in a simple way the main definitions, focusing on their physical interpretation, and highlights the relevance of these properties in network dimensionin
