The patient is included in the group and, in a quiet way, is brought to carry out various activities.

Nei tre decenni che precedettero l'ingresso dell'Italia nel conflitto europeo (il cui primo atto di guerra, a Triplice non ancora denunciata, fu proprio l'occupazione del succitato porto albanese e dell'antistante isolotto di Saseno) una corposa letteratura di viaggio (opera di intellettuali, politici, pubblicisti) inondò il mercato editoriale, contribuendo a volgarizzare presso il grande pubblico le ragioni di tanto interesse per le vicende di quella parte della penisola balcanica. Il recupero di questi scritti (indispensabili per ricostruire i contenuti del messaggio all'epoca veicolato) e la loro integrazione con quanto teorizzato da marina ed esercito, permette di analizzare logiche e finalità di una questione di lungo periodo, che regime fascista e regno del sud avrebbero ereditato e sviluppato, ciascuno a proprio modo. Soprattutto, esso permette di capire quale ruolo ricoprissero il possesso di Valona e dell'Albania nel più ampio disegno di egemonia italiana sull'Adriatico e sul Mediterraneo, evidenziando l'esistenza di due diversi indirizzi della cosiddetta “questione adriatica”: l'uno legato esclusivamente alla Dalmazia; l'altro deciso a non transigere su entrambe.
In the three decades that preceded the entrance of Italy in the European conflict (whose first act of war it was the occupation of the Albanian port of Vlore and the nearby island of Saseno) a substantial travel literature (made by intellectuals, politicians publicists) flooded the publishing market, helping to volgarizzare to the general public the reasons for so much interest in the history of that part of the Balkan peninsula. The recovery of these writings (essential to rebuild the contents of the message conveyed at the time) and their integration with the theorized by army and navy allows you to analyze the logic and purposes of a long-term issue. Most importantly, it allows you to understand what role played the possession of Vlore and Albania within the wider picture of Italian hegemony on the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, highlighting the existence of two different addresses of so-called "Adriatic question": the one linked exclusively to Dalmatia; the other decided not to compromise on both sides.

The Italian military architecture of Ancona’s Citadel: construction techniques and defensive systems in the sixteenth centuryThe objective of this research is regarding the construction techniques used in the military architecture of Cittadella-Fortezza (Ancona, Marche, Italy). In this case, attention will focus primarily on historical, bibliographic and archive research, then through a comprehensive analysis of building methods used in the sixteenth century and on the strategic function that this fortification covered in the coastal strip of the Middle Adriatic. Together with Rocca Paolina (Perugia) and Fortezza da Basso (Florence), it has in fact a remarkable importance in the military architecture’s history, as it was one of the first experiments of fronte bastionato all’italiana. Built from 1532 by Antonio da Sangallo il Giovane, it rises on the top of Astagno hill in a panoramic and defensive position, overlooking the city and the port. It clearly distinguishes itself from the surrounding building fabric as it is characterized by five mighty bastions in bricks and by the central bulwark with the vaulted ground floor. The study aims to investigate the structural details of Ancona’s fortress such as the modeling of walls, the suppression of protruding volumes, the extension and rounding of the corner towers and the introduction of the central type plan. A great understanding of this research will be analyzed in the drawings and the volumes’ reliefs, which highlighted the general geometric data, the materials used for the realization of the work, the angle of the curtain walls and the technical/constructive strategies. Therefore, the methodical-metric knowledge of the parts will be made more accessible also in relation to the three-dimensional modeling of the fortress, in addition to the critical comparison based on other historical examples of military architecture in the Renaissance period.
