Own city distinguished declarations: UNESCO world heritage list and so on: Conferring dates) Synthetic list of the most important problems of the historic centre. Perugia is the capital city in the region of Umbria in central Italy, near the Tiber river, and the capital of the province of Perugia. Perugia, the great "Guelf strong-hold" rises up in the region's heart, with its 5 storical quarters closed-in by its Etruscan town walls. These enormous bastions formed by cyclopic square masses, were constructed 22 centuries ago and are still visible for long stretches. Two are the various images of Perugia: the first is that of a quiet chief town province small town, a reassuring town with a stable economical system and a historical and cultural tradition to the shoulder hams which allows her hurrah to show it and solid sentirsi; the second alludes in a Perugia dynamics, enterprising; a town which wants to grow, in some way ready to change and put him in game. Treats oneself of a image containing to his interior two possible declensions: from a Perugia side that looks with confidence to the new infrastructures necessary for growing; other, a more complex Perugia, what looks at to the development of the tourism and the local production, to the research, to the formation, to the culture. Perugia is an important historic and artistic centre, a heritage overtime of artistic and monumental sign, an offer of cultural events known internationally, a university vocation which will celebrate in 2008 the seven a hundred years of history.

  • Watercourse Maintenance: a Look at the Plants and Hydrology of a Case Study on the Tiber River
    River Basin Management III 443 Watercourse maintenance: a look at the plants and hydrology of a case study on the Tiber River M. Bellezza1, L. Nasini2, S. Casadei1 & A. Standardi2 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Perugia, Italy 2Department of Agricultural and Environmental Science, University of Perugia, Italy Abstract In order to prevent damage caused by extreme hydrological events in a river basin, it is of the utmost importance that the surrounding territory and watercourses of the river are kept clear and well maintained. Although this is universally recognised as a valid concept which should be put into operation, numerous practical problems arise, mainly linked to areas to be found along many of these rivers, such as river parks and sites of community interest, which are often protected. This situation gives rise to a complex debate, in which river ecology is often in direct contrast with hydrology. For this reason a study was developed in conjunction with the Province of Perugia aimed at taking a detailed, integrated look at both watercourse plants and hydrology simultaneously. The results obtained on the reaches of the Tiber River examined have shown how plant data (the fruit of three years of monitoring existing vegetation) enable us to provide an extremely detailed picture of the state and nature of the riverine vegetation, so that ways to cut and thin it out can be proposed according to the botanical and agronomic knowledge of these species. The hydrological effects of this approach were simulated using HEC-RAS calculation procedures in order to outline the effects in flood conditions.

In this work, we estimated the potential and effective nitrogen load from agriculture, farms, civil, and industrial sources in Umbria region, Italy, and assessed the previous (and actual) contamination by nitrates at different scales. The adopted methodology uses databases of the sources, such as the type of fertilizer (inorganic or manure), the type of industrial site, the census of livestock and field data at a local, basin, and regional scale. Hydrological and geological models are used to compute infiltration. The study shows that the contribution of farms to nitrate pollution is in the order of swine > cattle > sheep and goats; while the highest agricultural load is due to arable land, followed by olive and grape. The study also shows that municipalities that have values of nitrates over the threshold for both groundwater and surface water can rapidly change their status during consecutive years.

  • Chapter Four
    chapter four LUGDUNUM The provincial centre at Lugdunum is the earliest enclosure of its kind in the Latin west and in several ways a deviation from the pat- tern observable in the Iberian peninsula. In the first place the sanc- tuary is situated on the outskirts of Lugdunum, outside the territory of the colony rather than within the perimeter of the city as at Tar- raco or Narbo (Vol. II, 1, Pl. CIX).1 Despite its proximity on the hill of Fourvière, Lugdunum had in principle no direct link with the enclave, so that in this instance there is no possibility of any connection with the civic forum of Lugdunum, the exact site of which continues to evade final detection.2 Equally unusual, the provincial worship of which it was the focus was formally that of three provinces: Lugdunensis, Aquitania and Belgica, a privileged case for which there is no clear parallel else- where in the Roman empire. This interprovincial character becomes less striking on closer inspection, however, once it is recalled that the establishment of the Altar of the Three Gauls, to all appearances in 12 rather than 10 B.C.,3 took place only a year or so after the tripar- tite division of Gaul in ca. 16–13 B.C.4 At the time the new arrange- ment can hardly have appeared as definitive as it does today in retro- spect. The fact that by Strabo’s account sixty Gallic civitates were origi- nally represented at the sanctuary5 clearly shows that the centre served a broad ethnic unity on which had been imposed an administrative system that cut across tribal divisions artificially.

  • Attitudes Towards Lusatia and Its Heritage in Polish
    doi: 10.19090/i.2017.28.189-205 UDC: 323.1(=162.5)(437.3) ISTRAŽIVANJA ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER JOURNAL OF HISTORICAL RESEARCHES Received: 15 May 2017 28 (2017) Accepted: 26 September 2017 MAŁGORZATA ŁUKIANOW Polish Academy of Sciences [email protected] MARCIN MACIEJEWSKI University of Zielona Góra [email protected] ATTITUDES TOWARDS LUSATIA AND ITS HERITAGE IN POLISH. HISTORICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES∗ Abstract: The paper discusses contemporary attitudes towards Lusatian heritage in Poland, with special attention to the region called Eastern Lusatia situated in the western part of the country. This approach aims to present the phenomenon within an interdisciplinary context of history and social sciences. The broad historical context included in this paper covers mostly the period of post-war border changes, especially those between Poland and Germany. The communist period in Poland and the specificity of communist minority policies is one of the key factors shaping today’s image of Sorbian heritage. Another important perspective is the contemporary trend for creating new localities as a form of the affective bond with the place of inhabitance. This, in the authors’ view, is deeply rooted in post-war social phenomena such as mass-scale migrations. The authors claim that today’s presence and presentation of Lusatian heritage is mostly instrumental and serves local communities as tourist attractions rather than including the Sorbian minority in the discourse of identity. Keywords: Sorbs, Lower Lusatia, Lower Sorbian, minorities in Poland, Polish Western and Northern Territories, new locality, memory discourse. 1. Introduction orbs are said to be the smallest Slavonic nation, who today dwell predominantly in Germany and are strongly Germanized.

  • Preventive Planning Model for Rescue Priority Management in Seismic Emergency
    M. Cardarilli, et al., Int. J. of Safety and Security Eng., Vol. 8, No. 2 (2018) 307–319 PREVENTIVE PLANNING MODEL FOR RESCUE PRIORITY MANAGEMENT IN SEISMIC EMERGENCY MONICA CARDARILLI, MARA LOMBARDI & MASSIMO GUARASCIO Department of Chemical Materials Environmental Engineering, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. ABSTRACT This study stems from the detection analysis of damaged buildings in Nocera Umbra (Central Italy), which has been affected by the earthquake sequence during 1997–1998, causing serious damages to material goods and human casualties. This natural disaster highlighted the need to achieve a strategic planning during the emergency phase based not only on effective actions but also on the efficient management of rescue and relief operations. The application of Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) has led to the seismic risk assessment for estimating the potential level of the expected damage, on heritage buildings and human lives. Data and information have been gathered during the surveys carried out after the major seismic event. A deep analysis has highlighted the existence of a correlation ratio between the critical structural features and the propensity of buildings to collapse. Considering either the exposed population, this information represents the crucial element for a relief management plan. All risk indicators associated to each damage scenario have allowed to assign a scale of priorities at every relief operations for an effective risk mitigation based on damage level and expected casualties. The ex-post emergency organization would be able to make more efficient both allocation and management of resources, equipment and technical teams during rescue activities. This is strongly connected to the ex-ante priority planning of the operations related to magnitude and distribution of expected collapses and casualties thank to the simulation performed to the potential risk scenarios.

  • UMBRIA Is a Region of Central Italy
    UMBRIA Is a region of central Italy. It includes lake Trasimeno and Marmore Falls, and is crossed by the River Tiber. The regional capital is Perugia. Umbria is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, culinary de- lights, artistic legacy, and influence on culture. The region is characterized by hills, mountains, valleys and historical towns such as the university centre of Perugia, Assisi, a World Heritage Site associated with St. Francis of Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco and other Franciscan sites, works by Giotto and Cimabue, Terni, the hometown of St. Valentine, Norcia, the hometown of St. Benedict, Città di Castello, main center of the early Renaissance situated in the Tiber High Valley, Gubbio, the hometown of t. Ubaldo, Spoleto, Orvieto, Todi, hometown of the Fran- ciscan mystic Jacopone da Todi, Castiglione del Lago, Narni, Amelia, and other small cities. Umbria is bordered by Tuscany to the west and the north, Marche to the east and Lazio to the south. Partly hilly and mountainous, and partly flat and fer- tile owing to the valley of the Tiber, its topography includes part of the central Apennines In antiquity, the plain was covered by a pair of shallow, interlock- ing lakes, the Lacus Clitorius and the Lacus Umber. They were drained by the Romans over several hun- dred years. The eastern part of the region, being crossed by many faults, has been often hit by earth- quakes: the last ones have been that of 1997 (which hit Foligno, Assisi and Nocera Umbra) and those of 2016 (which struck Norcia and the Valnerina).
