Littérature scientifique sur le sujet « Monte baldo »

During ecological investigations on saproxylic beetle communities at Monte Baldo (Veneto, Verona province), two specimens of <em>Epuraea</em> <em>deubeli</em> Reitter, 1898 (Coleoptera, Nitidulidae) were recently collected. It is the first known sure record of this species in Italy (previously known from Northern, Eastern, and Central Europe, southwards to Austria, and from Western Siberia).

Sattleria karsholti Huemer & Hebert, 2011 is re-examined based on recently collected material, museum vouchers, and DNA barcodes. Adult and male genitalia morphology and molecular data of the COI barcode region support the existence of two allopatric species, S. karsholti, from the type locality of Pizo Arera in the Orobian Alps (Bergamo Province, Italy), and S. enrosadira sp. nov. from Monte Baldo, Adamello and the Brenta group (Trento and Verona Provinces, Italy). Adults and male genitalia of both species are figured; the females of both species are unknown.

The taxonomy of Sattleria, a genus restricted to European high mountain systems, is critically revised based on morphology, DNA barcodes and phylogeography. Adult morphology combined with sequence information for the barcode region of COI supports the existence of 14 species. The full 658bp fragment of COI was obtained from 43 specimens representing 11 species and three shorter sequences were obtained from another two species. An illustrated key to the male genitalia of all species is provided. Three new species are described: Sattleria karsholti sp. nov. (Alpi Orobie, Adamello and Monte Baldo, Prov. Bergamo, Trento and Verona, Italy), Sattleria cottiella sp. nov. (Cottian Alps, Prov. Cuneo, Italy), and Sattleria graiaeella sp. nov. (Alpi Graie, Prov. Aosta, Italy; Savoie, France). Sattleria basistrigella Huemer, 1997 bona sp., stat. rev. is raised from subspecies rank of Sattleria triglavica Povolný, 1987 to species rank.

Abstract The late 16th century saw the publication of two descriptions of Monte Baldo written by apothecaries working in the nearby town of Verona. Both texts were published in Latin and Italian and have come to the attention of scholars for the vibrant descriptions of the mountain they contain, as well as for the insight they allow into the European networks of natural philosophers. A more detailed examination of the circumstances that produced Latin and Italian versions of these two descriptions of the same mountain, containing the same type of scientific investigation by men engaged in the same profession and from the same town, makes for a neat case study in considering the issues surrounding translation and authorship in the natural philosophical literature of the early modern period. By setting the study’s findings into the context of the recent ›translation turn‹ in literary studies - and Neo-Latin studies in particular - the case study reveals interesting data for the use of Latin in early modern natural philosophy, as well for the dynamics of northern Italy’s scientific community in the period.

The discovery of the wreck of the brig Mercurio, which sank in 1812 in the waters of the north Adriatic, is of major significance for the study of Italic Kingdom vessels from the Napoleonic era. The underwater excavations carried out in 2004–11 led to the recovery of many small finds, among which are several gunflints of different size and shape. The Mercurio gunflints were produced mainly from blades using a technique in use in Britain and France, but also in the workshops of the Lessini Hills around Ceredo (Verona province, northern Italy). We suggest that the flint employed for their manufacture probably came from Monte Baldo, in the Trentino, or perhaps from the River Tagliamento, in Friuli. We can exclude the possibility that the specimens recovered from the shipwreck were made from French flint because of the typically north Italian manufacturing technique and the character of the grey Treveti-derived flint. Given the complexity of the period during which the Grado (or Pirano) battle took place, the study of even such small items can contribute to a better interpretation of the dramatic events that characterised the beginning of the nineteenth century in that part of the Mediterranean.

A commented catalogue of Coleoptera Staphylinidae present in Verona province (Veneto, Northern Italy) is provided. It is based on published as well as mostly unpublished records, with the Sette collection at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Verona as main source. These records are filed in a freely downloadable database (http://www.societaentomologicaitaliana.it/it/archivio-comunicazioni/78-archiviati/269-database-staphylinidae-verona.html). Verona province is a very diverse area, with habitats ranging from montane/alpine to hill and plain, which are natural, seminatural or anthropogenic. A total of 988 species are listed. Localities, habitats, microhabitats, collecting methods, altitudinal range, months of capture, latest year of capture and number of specimens are given for each species. Comments are added for 149 remarkable species or genera (<em>i.e</em>. new to Italy, endemic, with particular geographic distribution, living in particular habitats, introduced, problematic from a taxonomic point of view), 7 species are new records for Italy (<em>Tachyporus corpulentus J.</em> Sahlberg, 1876, <em>Aleochara bellonata</em> Krása, 1922, <em>Aleochara marmotae</em> Sainte-Claire Deville, 1927, <em>Atheta (Ceritaxa) flavipes</em> (Hochhuth, 1860), <em>Atheta (Philhygra) pseudoelongatula</em> Bernhauer, 1907, <em>Stenomastax platygaster</em> (Kraatz, 1859), <em>Carpelimus boops rondaensis</em> (Fagel, 1957)), one is very probably new to science (<em>Leptusa</em> sp.). The biogeographic analysis of the data is mostly based on the comparison of the main areas of the province (Monte Baldo, Lessinia, Morene del Garda, course of Adige river, and plain). The presence of a good percentage (5%) of endemic species is pointed out. The communities inhabiting the principal habitats and microhabitats are commented on, and remarkable species living in the protected areas of the province are listed.

Ba’do Katupat celebration is a tradition of Jawa Tondano (Jaton) village hold annually. It has a deep meaning to strengthen the relationship, forgive each other, as well as be grateful for the success of fasting for the whole month. No wonder the celebration is always crowded with thousands of people from different areas, ages and beliefs, and carried out for the whole day. Ba’do Ketupat is an inherited tradition from Diponegoro, Kiai Mojo, and his followers. This Javanese tradition heritage can be found in Tondano, Minahasa as a ceremonial event held annually by people in Jaton village one week after Eid Ba’do Ketupat contains cultural values that include local and cultural values, as the icon and identity of Jaton in Minahasa, as well as the acculturation resulting in solidarity and tolerance. This culture unites the minority of Jaton people with the majority of Minahasa people. The religious ritual performed by Jaton people and other Muslim accomplishes religious obligations in order to increase devotion towards Allah SWT and not to create difference.

ABSTRACT The International Bird Rescue Research Center coordinated a six-month-long oiled bird rehabilitation program that spanned three seasons. Over 1,600 migrating, breeding, nesting, and fledgling oiled birds, representing 71 species, were presented for care to four rehabilitation centers. Many of these species, including puffins, cormorants, shearwaters, murrelets, petrels, and bald eagles, have rarely, if ever, been treated in large numbers in an oil spill rehabilitation effort. Bald eagles, oiled and secondarily poisoned by the ingestion of oil-laden food sources, were of major concern. Their successful rehabilitation required special handling, caging, cleaning, and release criteria. Extensive clinical and pathological evaluations of the effects of oil contamination were ongoing. The findings spirited the development of new techniques and equipment that enhanced survival rate. These new developments and knowledge will greatly benefit affected animals in future oil spill rescue and rehabilitation endeavors.

La tesi investiga la relazione fra località e persone in un’area prealpina del Nord-Est Italia e, attraverso il concetto di senso del luogo (Feld and Basso, 1996), analizza come lo spazio diventi significativo nella vita quotidiana. Cercando di andare al di là del concetto di comunità o località come spazio fisicamente e culturalmente delimitato, sono descritti alcuni dei modi con cui le persone esprimono le proprie appartenenze. Se come suggeriscono Gupta e Ferguson la comunità “non è semplicemente la ricognizione delle similarità culturali o della contiguità sociale ma una categoria d’identità che permette varie forme di esclusione e di costruzione dell’alterità” (1997: 13-14), mio scopo è stato quello di comprendere la produzione delle differenze e delle similarità nell'Italia contemporanea. Lo studio si basa su una ricerca etnografica e d’archivio condotta in un piccolo paese del Veneto e nella sua periferia più rurale, ponendo al centro dell’analisi le memorie e le pratiche degli abitanti. Nella prima parte del lavoro, esploro le questioni sollevate dagli etnografi impegnati nell’ “antropologia a casa” e la mia posizione nel campo; analizzo, inoltre, i modi in cui la storia locale, il lavoro femminile ed i fenomeni emigratori del passato sono selettivamente utilizzati, nei discorsi e nelle commemorazioni, per produrre un contesto locale distintivo. Nella seconda parte, l’etnografia si incentra sulla vita quotidiana degli abitanti di alcune contrade collinari. L’uso dello spazio, la parentela, le relazioni sociali, il lavoro e la casa emergono come temi importanti, al centro dell’agire quotidiano e della memoria sociale e individuale. L’esplorazione di questi aspetti rivelano in che modo le persone costruiscano l’idea di comune appartenenza e parallelamente articolano le differenze sociali, ma anche come l’attaccamento al luogo prenda forma attraverso la negoziazione di classificazioni sociali e pratiche, fra riferimenti passati e presenti.
The purpose of my thesis is to investigate the relationship between locality and people in a pre- alpine area in the North-East of Italy. By means of the concept of sense of place (Feld and Basso, 1996), I analyse how space becomes meaningful in the daily life. My work is an attempt to move beyond the concept of community or locality as demarcated physical and cultural space by describing some of the ways in which inhabitants express belonging to a place. If as suggest Gupta and Ferguson, community “is never simply the recognition of cultural similarity or social contiguity but a categorical identity that is premised in various forms of exclusion and construction of otherness” (1997: 13-14), my aim is to understand how people produce difference and similarity in the contemporary Italy. The study is based on ethnographic and archival research carried out in a small town in the Region of the Veneto and in its more rural hinterland and I have investigated practices and memories of local people, as part of the process of “place making” and “people making”. In the first part of my work, I explore questions raised by ethnographers who engage in “anthropology at home” and my position in the field. Indeed, I show the ways in which local history, women’s work and past emigration are selectively mobilized in the discourse and commemorations of different parts of the local population, thus producing a local contest of alterity. In the second part, my ethnographic focus is on everyday life in a hill village. An exploration of people’s sense of place illustrates how disparate topics such as the uses and memory of social space, social relationships, ties to kin and house are ways of linking people to place and the past. In particular I show how inhabitants express their belonging (or not) to place, construct and negotiate processes of social classification and practice between past and present.

La roue des existences, image célèbre du bouddhisme himalayen, représente les différents mondes de renaissances, les causes et mécanismes de leurs enchaînements, elle illustre enfin la possibilité d’échapper au cycle samsarique. Les dates, la situation géographique, les emplacements des représentations, comme leur complexité et leur variété, suscitent de nombreuses questions qui nous ont conduit à étudier les textes canoniques anciens qui en posent les bases, à analyser les nombreux concepts représentés, mais aussi et surtout à examiner l’iconographie d’un corpus de soixante-dix-neuf roues réparties sur le territoire de quatre pays : l’Inde, le Népal, le Bhoutan et la Chine. Nos observations, résultat d’un long travail sur l’ensemble des informations et des thèmes contenus dans chaque roue, permettent de constater que la roue de la vie était connue dans un vaste territoire qui dépassait largement le monde himalayen, que sa fonction a évolué pendant une période de plus de quinze siècles, qu’il s’agit d’un thème très ancien toujours d’actualité, dont les variations révèlent le degré d’initiative des peintres et témoignent parfois d’ interprétations doctrinales différentes, reflétant des talents divers et le souci systématique de différencier chaque oeuvre des autres peintures
One of the most famous images of Himalayan Buddhism is the wheel of existence (bhavacakra); it represents the various worlds of rebirths, the causes and mechanisms of their sequences and finally it illustrates the possibility of escaping the samsaric cycle. The age, the geographic situation, the complexity, the location and the variety of the representations raise many questions which lead to study the old canonical texts on which they are based, to analyze the many concepts represented, but also and especially examin the iconography of a corpus of seventy nine wheels to be found over the territory of the four countries which are today, India, Nepal, Bhutan and China. A long and extensive study of the vast amount of information contained in each wheel, makes it possible to say that the wheel of existence was known in a very large territory which greatly exceeded the Himalayan area, that its function evolved over a period of more than fifteen centuries, that it is a very old topic still relevant today and, that the works and the initiatives of the painters reveal variations which show their degrees of initiatives, sometimes different doctrinal interpretations, but also different talents and the systematic concern to be different from each other

Cette thèse comporte deux parties: - Dans la première partie, nous traitons d'abord une version kahlérienne du célèbre théorème d'extension d'Ohsawa-Takegoshi, puis, un problème de prolongement des courants positifs fermés. Notre motivation provient de la conjecture de Siu sur l'invariance des plurigenres dans le cas d'une famille kahlérienne. En effet, dans la preuve du célèbre théorème d'invariance des plurigenres de Siu, le théorème d'extension d'Ohsawa-Takegoshi joue un rôle important. Il est donc naturel de penser que la preuve de la conjecture fera également intervenir un théorème d'extension de type Ohsawa-Takegoshi dans le cas kahlérien. Suite aux difficultés techniques qui proviennent de la régularisation des fonctions quasi-psh sur les variétés kahlériennes compactes, nous obtenons seulement deux cas particuliers du résultat espéré. Pour ce qui est du prolongement des courants positifs fermés, notre résultat est un cas particulier de la conjecture qui prédit que tout courant positif fermé défini sur le fibré central d'une classe de cohomologie kahlérienne tordue par la classe de Chern du fibré canonique admet un prolongement. - Dans la deuxième partie, nous nous intéressons à l'unicité des solutions des équations de type Monge-Ampère généralisées. Il s'agit d'une généralisation d'un théorème de Bando-Mabuchi concernant les métriques de Kahler-Einstein sur les variétés de Fano. Nous suivons la méthode introduite par Berndtsson et généralisons son résultat en travaillant avec un courant positif fermé à la place d'une paire klt dans son contexte. Les propriétés de convexité des métriques de Bergman jouent un rôle important dans cette partie
This thesis consists in two parts: -In the first part, we first deal with a Kahler version of the famous Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem; then, a problem of extending the closed positive currents. Our motivation comes from the Siu's conjecture on the invariance of plurigenera over a Kahler family. Indeed, in the proof of his famous theorem, the Ohsawa-Takegoshi theorem plays an important role. It is, therefore, natural to think that the proof for the conjecture involves an extension theorem of Ohsawa-Takegoshi type in the Kahler case. Because of the technical difficulties coming from the regularization process of quasi-psh functions over the compact Kahler manifolds, we only obtain two special cases of the hoped result. As for the extension of closed positive currents, our result is a special case of the conjecture which predicts that every closed positive current defined over the central fiber in a Kahler cohomology class twisted by the first Chern class of the canonical bundle admits an extension. -In the second part, we are interested in the uniqueness of the solutions of the equations of generalized Monge-Ampère type, a generalized Bando-Mabuchi theorem concerning the Kahler-Einstein metrics over Fano manifolds. We follow the method introduced by Berndtsson and generalize his result by working with a closed positive current in place of a klt pair in his context. The properties of the convexity of the Bergman metrics play an important role in this part

The main objective of my PhD research is to develop an object-oriented, hierarchical and multi-scale geomorphological approach to studying “landslide systems” meaning sets of landslides of different type evolving on the long-term with mutual interaction (sensu Guida et al. 1988, 1995; Coico et al. 2013; Valiante et al. 2016). The proposed approaches aim: 1) to improve the existing or new inventories, defining an object capable of storing both spatial and temporal relations between landslides in a single dataset, avoiding physical data fragmentation and logic inconsistency; 2) to build a robust conceptual model for the practical management of complex arrangements of landslides and their evolution. This work also aims to contribute to the overall theme of landslide hazard assessment and mitigation, focusing on those cases where complex spatio-temporal arrangements of landslides interacts with engineering structures or infrastructures, for better understanding and quantify the interactions at various spatio-temporal scales between engineering works and natural processes. The research has been conducted following three main strategies: 1) a “Top-Down approach” based on morphometric analyses on Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to find whether a portion of landscape shows a set of “topographic signatures” ascribable to landslide systems; 2) a “Bottom-Up approach” based on the reconstruction of the landslide system through field activities starting from any of the landslides composing the system itself; 3) comparison of the above strategies using a training-target approach on selected case studies significant for different Italian landscapes. The “Top-Down” approach is based on the application of morphometric techniques using Digital Elevation Models, such as Topographic Position Index (TPI) (Weiss 2001; Paron and Vargas 2007; De Reu et al. 2013), useful for the semi-quantitative delineation of main landforms, and Slope – Area Plots (Montgomery and Foufoula-Georgiou 1993; Booth et al. 2013; Tseng et al. 2015), exploited for the estimation of the erosional processes type acting on the slopes, and extended also to gravity-driven processes. Basically, the graphical plot of the topographic steepness as function of the drainage area can be subdivided in four main plot regions or curve segments, each one representing a dominant geomorphic process: I) hillslopes; II) hillslope-to-valley transition; III) debris flow dominated channels or landslides driven channels; IV) alluvial channels. The “Bottom-Up” approach follows the GmIS_UniSA method proposed in Dramis et al. 2011. In the first steps data collected from field activities were stored referring to a symbol-based representation (SGN 1994; APAT 2007; ISPRA 2018) similarly to what has been done by many authors (Gustavsson et al. 2006; Devoto et al. 2012; Miccadei et al. 2012; Del Monte et al. 2016 among the others), in the next steps the original data is extended from the symbol-based to a full-coverage representation. The latter is then reclassified using the proposed object-oriented data model. Such object-oriented data model is based on the assumption that any entity can be represented by exactly one object regardless of its complexity or inner structure (Egenhofer and Frank 1992). Complexity is then handled through the classification process: a real-world feature and its behaviour is described and encapsulated in a class definition, then any operation of simplification or generalization can be performed defining a set of sub-classes and super-classes. Any feature described by a class definition is an object (an instance of that specific class); simplifying, a class is the description of a feature and its behaviour while an object is the feature itself (Atkinson et al. 1990; Chaudhri 1993; Kösters et al. 1997). The described classification process results in a set of classes linked by parent-child relationship (generalized and specialized classes) and sibling relations (classes sharing a common super-class) in a hierarchical structure. Hierarchies are usually exploited to model, and therefore better handling complexity of natural systems; in this perspective a hierarchy is defined as a multi-level or layered system where each level can be decomposed in a number of interrelated subsystems until a non-decomposable elementary subsystem is defined (Simon 1962; Odum and Barrett 2005; Wu 2013). Depending on the objectives of a particular study or analysis, the hierarchical level closer to the study object is called focal level or level 0 which sets the starting point for decompositions (levels -x) or generalizations (levels +x) (Wu 1999). Applying the previous concepts, the basic landslide inventory is built by means of usual techniques, such as field survey, remote sensing, desk studies, etc., then an object-oriented hierarchical model is applied resulting in a hierarchical classification of landslides. The focal level is set at the input inventory containing individual landslides as one object differentiated by type of movement. The proposed model assumes that a “functional interaction” (i.e. dynamic interaction) exists if the condition of spatial and temporal overlap between landslides is verified. This assumption can be evaluated through the integration of two topological models. The Dimensional Extended nine-Intersection Model (DE-9IM) (Egenhofer and Herring 1990a, b; Egenhofer and Franzosa 1991; Clementini et al. 1994) and the Region Connection Calculus (RCC8) (Randell et al. 1992; Cohn et al. 1997). Starting from the focal level, 2 levels of generalization are defined based on the topological relation between landslides: i) if two or more landslides of the same type have a 2-dimensional relation between their interior portion, they can be simplified in a landslide complex object having the same type of movement as the input features; ii) if two or more landslide complexes have a 2-dimensional relation between their interior portion or with the interior of another landslide which is not part of the input complex, they can be simplified in a landslide system object. A level of decomposition has been also implemented describing landslide components. Once derived a landslide system, it is useful to define its Reference Hillslope, meaning the minimal portion of territory in which it is likely to evolve. To address this task Surface Networks can be a valid technique in order to objectively define the minimal portion of the topographic surface in which a gravitational process can develop and evolve. The extraction of Surface Networks from DEMs (Pfaltz 1976; Wolf 1991; Schneider 2003; Rana 2004) is based on the detection of the characteristic features of a surface called critical elements, such as critical points (local minima, local maxima and local saddles) and critical lines (ridgelines, connecting peak and passes, and courselines, connecting pits and saddles). This data structure has been exploited to decrease complexity of topography representing just its “mathematical skeleton” (Guilbert et al. 2016). In order to test these methodologies, three italian case studies have been selected choosing sites with different geological settings and thus landsliding style. The choice of the study areas has been made also picking landslide recently reactivated with a great impact on anthropic activities. The selected case studies are: • Corniolo - Poggio Baldi (FC) along the Bidente River valley; • Roscigno (SA) on the south-western slopes of Mt. Pruno; • North-eastern slope of the Rocca di Sciara relief in the valley of the Northern Imera river, close to Scillato village (PA). The Corniolo – Poggio Baldi case study has been selected for the last reactivation of the Poggio Baldi landslide in March 2010. The movement developed as a rock-wedge slide evolving in a flow-like movement that produced the damming of the Bidente river and the formation of the Corniolo Lake, which is partially still present today. The main geological settings of the area are made of a sandstone-marly flysch with a dip-slope attitude. The case of Roscigno refers the history of the abandoned “Old Roscigno” rural village. This ghost town has been transferred from about sixty years due to landsliding activity and is nowadays part of the Cilento UNESCO - Global Geopark. The village was built on the south-western slope of Mt. Pruno, mainly composed of terrigenous deposits such as calcarenitic-marly flysch, tectonically overlapping a clayey-marly flysch. The main movement affecting the slope is a deep-seated rock slope deformation, on top of which several shallow landslides developed, such as rotational slides and mud flows. The Rocca di Sciara case study has been chosen for the last reactivation of the lower portion of the slope in April 2015. The event caused severe damages to the road network, also involving the Palermo – Catania highway leading to the failure of the Imera viaduct. The geological settings of the slope are made of a dip-slope bedding heterogenous sequence of limestone megabreccias and thick-bedded calcarenites, thin-bedded or laminated calcilutites and clayey flysch. During these three years of research, several survey activities have been performed in order to reconstruct the geological and geomorphological setting of the case studies. All these activities were supported by the object-oriented perspective defined before, allowing objects definition and description directly on the field. Both the “Top-Down” and the “Bottom-Up” strategies have been applied to the case studies. As for the first strategy, the contributing area reclassification shows mainly the hypothetical landslide-related channel as linear features, while the TPI reclassification highlights concave morphologies that can be related to landslides components, such as detachment areas, trenches, counterslopes, and so on. Both these methods can be useful techniques to assess potential landslides affected areas for a better planning of further activities such as field surveys, which are the starting point of the second strategy. Following the data collection, by direct surveys, desk studies or remote sensing, all the information has been rearranged within the object-oriented logic perspective; then, the hierarchical model allows to derive higher rank units, such as landslide complexes and landslide systems. Based on these derived objects, through the integration of Surface Networks it is possible to define the so-called “Reference Hillslope” for each landscape object. Every landslide is characterized not only by its attributes but also by it spatial and temporal relations with the other movements. Coupling this object-oriented hierarchical approach with a temporal characterization of landslide features in the form of “events”, semantically defined, it is possible to build an object-oriented and event-based database capable of storing both spatial and temporal relations between landslides. The Top-Down approach showed some limitation in the recognition of deep-seated movements, while the Bottom-Up approach allowed the automatic reconstruction of the landslide hierarchies starting from the landslide inventory. A landslide system built with an accurate spatio-temporal inventorying of landslides can be a tool for the fast retrieval of useful information such as “how many events affected a slope and how they developed, their magnitude and frequency and how they interacted”. All these data regarding the past and present activity of a slope are the assumption for understanding its most likely evolution, thus, to contribute to the formulation of reactivation scenarios. Moreover, the definition of the “reference hillslope” allow to objectively define the area/volume to be investigated starting from a reference object – a landslide, a landslide complex or a landslide system - , both for the planning of remediation and monitoring activities and as a starting point to search whether a landslide interacts with other geomorphic processes or anthropogenic activities.

Durant les années 1950, les autorités municipales, sous la pression du département de la police, ont demandé le déboisement d’une section du parc du Mont-Royal. Cette section, communément appelée la « Jungle » et principalement composée de broussailles, de buissons et d’arbres, était fréquentée par une clientèle considérée comme indésirable. Cette dernière comprenait, essentiellement, des alcooliques, des voyous, des pervers, et, surtout, des homosexuels. Leur éradication s’est alors déployée selon un plan en trois étapes qui avait pour objectif de simplifier les techniques de surveillance utilisées par le département de la police. D’abord, une augmentation de l’éclairage, puis, le déboisement de la « Jungle », et, finalement, la construction d’une route, aujourd’hui connue sous le nom de Camillien-Houde. Le parc devenait ainsi plus accessible et plus sécuritaire. Les coupes, que l’on a appelées les « coupes de la moralité », ont eu un effet considérable sur l’environnement et la composition écologique du parc, donnant, entre autres, aux Montréalais, l’impression que le parc était devenu chauve (ce qui lui conféra d’ailleurs le surnom de Mont Chauve). Les transformations du parc du Mont-Royal n’étaient cependant pas limitées à sa Jungle. En fait, des modifications furent aussi mises en application dans d’autres sections considérées comme sous-développées. La métamorphose du parc et de sa « Jungle » était un acte de développement caractéristique de l’ère moderniste de la planification du Montréal d’après-guerre. La re-planification du parc du Mont-Royal témoigne ainsi d’une volonté sans bornes des autorités d’instaurer la moralité et la modernité dans la ville, volonté qui aura pour conséquence d’altérer la composition écologique du parc. C’est ce qui sera à l’origine d’une campagne nommée « Save-the-Mountain Movement », qui a cherché à empêcher la modernisation de l’espace et milité pour la réhabilitation du parc en tant que boisé paisible.
During the 1950s, the municipal authorities, under pressure from the Police Department, called for the clearing of a section of Mount Royal Park—the so-called “Jungle” (composed mainly of undergrowth, bushes, and trees)—where a community of undesirable Park patrons had established themselves. This cohort of undesirables was understood as being composed mainly of alcoholics, thugs, perverts and most importantly homosexuals. Their eradication was undertaken through a threefold plan which would simplify the techniques of surveillance used by the Police Department; this would be achieved through (1) increased lighting, (2) clearing the Jungle, (3) construction of a roadway, now known as the Camillien-Houde roadway, thus making the Park more accessible and safe. The cuts, known as the Morality Cuts, had a lasting effect on the environmental and ecological composition of the Park, with the immediate repercussion of “balding” the Park, thereby giving it the nickname of Mount Baldy. Yet Mount Royal Park’s transformation was not limited to its Jungle. In fact, the transformation was undertaken in a number of the Park’s sections which were deemed undeveloped. The development Mount Royal Park and of its Jungle were therefore acts of development, under the umbrella of Montréal’s modernist postwar planning. Indeed, the re-planning of Mount Royal Park testifies to the unbounded will of the authorities to instill morality and modernity within the city, going to lengths that ultimately altered the ecological composition of the Park. This would in the end lead to an all out campaign named the Save-the-Mountain Movement, which sought to end the modernist encroachment of this space and rehabilitate the Park as a wooded and tranquil environment.

L’amicizia tra Gianna Manzini e Giuseppe Dessí, ricostruita in questo libro grazie alle ricerche di Alberto Baldi, era nata alla metà degli anni 40, nell’ambito delle collaborazioni alla rivista «Prosa», e sarebbe durata fino al ’74, anno della morte della scrittrice. Agli incontri romani, un tempo frequenti tra i due, si sarebbe sostituito a causa di lontananze forzate un fitto dialogo epistolare, destinato a coinvolgere i rispettivi compagni. Nelle sue lettere, in toni sempre più confidenziali, la Manzini parla a Dessí della malattia e della morte, allude talvolta a complessi rapporti familiari, lamenta la difficoltà di conciliare il lavoro letterario con la vita privata, confidando sempre nella comprensione, vicinanza e discrezione dell’amico, da cui spera aiuto anche per riuscire a capire il non sempre facile carattere di Enrico Falqui. In appendice al carteggio, adeguatamente annotato, viene riproposto un singolare inedito dal titolo I sogni di Dessí che la Manzini aveva realizzato per una trasmissione radiofonica degli anni 60 (l’Almanacco dei sogni). A chiudere il volume una preziosa antologia della critica dispersa, che raccoglie recensioni e saggi apparsi su quotidiani e riviste dedicati ai lavori della scrittrice.

AbstractDepictions of weapons and of armed human figures in Camunianand Alpinerock art are common, particularly after the advent of metalwork and especially beginning with the Copper Age. They are found on monuments and on rocks, as can be seen clearly in the megalithic sanctuaries featuring stelae, anthropomorphic stelae, and statues-menhir, as well as in the most significant Alpine spiritual centers and elsewhere, such as Val Camonica (It. Valle Camonica, Lo. Al Camònega), Mount Bego (Mont Bégo), Val Tellina, and Monte Baldo, on the Veroneseshore of Lake Garda (Lago di Garda). Depictions of weapons are important for the chronological and cultural placement of the engraved complexes; the depictions of armed human figures that dominate some Alpine engraving sets are no less important. That is particularly the case in Val Camonica and Val Tellina, over a very long period of time running from the Bronze Age up to the Iron Age and even into prehistoric times. The depictions of men holding weapons—in a wide variety of stylistic, iconographic, and compositional arrangements, and belonging to many different periods and stages of engraving—represent a ritual language that was used at the very time the pictures were being created. They are an evocative language that commemorated, revived, and spoke of mythical forefathers, ancestral heroes, departed warriors, founders of communities, and indeed anyone who played an important role in the past and became an object of worship. The ritual gesture of depicting them might have served the ritual function not only of commemoration but of calling their presence back from the past into the community in times of particular need.

This chapter demonstrates how the media representation of immigration in France is at odds with the recent production of literary works by French authors of Maghrebi origins. Referring to novels by Faïza Guène (Les gens du Balto), Saphia Azzeddine (La Mecque-Phuket), and Nadia Bouzid (Quand Beretta est morte), it shows how the concerns of the “first” and “second” generation of immigrants are a thing of the past, as these writers choose to deconstruct the usual discourse about Maghrebi-French people, inscribe their narrative in different literary traditions, and assert their place in Literature.

Restoration and consolidation of the top portion of castel Penede in Nago (Trento) on Lake Garda. A project of knowledgeCastel Penede is located on a rocky spur, the farthest north-west extension of Monte Baldo, protruding to close up the pass from Upper Garda to Adige Valley, protecting the Torbole harbour. The structure of the fortified complex spans over a period of almost five centuries, from the twelfth to the sixteenth century, in an area featuring an at least bi-millennial settlement sequence. The path of knowledge started in 2008 with the historic and stratigraphic analysis. The carrying out of the executive project will turn out to be of a cultural interest, as the removal of the collapsed material will be effected, found in the most ancient rooms which will be then revamped and restored. These works will bring to light some structures (walls, architectonic elements, flooring plans, plasters, vaults and staircases...) which shall be studied, filed and reported as stratigraphic units to update the analysis of the elevations previously carried out. The knowledge methodology adopted to get comprehension of the castle according to scientific methods will be then carried on. The investigations on the architectures have highlighted the relevance of the stratigraphic analysis meant not only as a fundamental aspect of the path of knowledge of a historical building, but also as a basic step to preserve the cultural heritage piece. This will safeguard the readability of the constructed item and of its morphological-stratigraphic connections to the extent of making the traces of the contemporary works on the built item itself both evident and acknowledgeable during the treatment of the walls’ surface joints. These operations carried out by skilled workers can be nearly classified as a specialised service which is often not adequately matched in the work practice. It is essential to point out the role of knowledge: knowledge of the item means you know how to restore it.
