  • Towards Implementing S3.Current Dynamics and Obstacles in the Lazio Region
    TOWARDS IMPLEMENTING S3.CURRENT DYNAMICS AND OBSTACLES IN THE LAZIO REGION A. L. Palazzo1 and K. Lelo2 1 Department of Architecture, Roma Tre University of Rome, Via Madonna dei Monti, 40, 00184 Roma, Italy 2 Department of Economics, Roma Tre University of Rome, Via Silvio d’Amico, 77, 00145 Roma, Italy Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Lazio Region is carrying out a re-industrialization policy following the Europe 2020 targets for economic growth, known as Smart Specialization Strategy (S3). This paper frames industrial policy settings dating back to the second half of the 20th Century in the light of current processes and institutional efforts to set a new season for Industry in Lazio Region. Subsequently, relying upon demographic and socio-economic dynamics over the last two decades, new features in settlement patterns and sector-specific obstacles to sustainable development are addressed with a major focus on the Metropolitan area of Rome (the former Province of Rome). In conclusion, some remarks are drawn mindful of the new globalization wave affecting ‘supply chains’ of goods and business services from all over the world, of current trends and innovative approaches liable to envisage ‘territory’ as an opportunity rather than a cost. Difficulties in making different opinions to converge are evident. The proper ground to make it happen should be prepared by a governance able to support place-based inherent ‘entrepreunerial discovery processes’, while providing negotiating practices framed by general and sectoral policies, and communication approaches to ensure transparency and participation of public at large. Keywords: Lazio Region, Metropolitan Area, S3, Settlement Patterns, Sustainability Scenarios, Territorial Innovation 1.

  • Sonnino Case—Decision No. 155
    REPORTS OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRAL AWARDS RECUEIL DES SENTENCES ARBITRALES Sonnino Case—Decision No. 155 27 November 1956 VOLUME XIV pp. 296-304 NATIONS UNIES - UNITED NATIONS Copyright (c) 2006 296 CONCILIATION COMMISSIONS Notwithstanding the fact that he resided in Italy from 1915 to 1929, the Commission, on the basis of the elements acquired during the proceedings, considers that this sojourn, although a lengthy one, was not accompanied by the intention to reside permanently in this country. Therefore, there is here involved the hypothesis provided for by point 7 (b) of the above-cited Decision in Case No. 3, namely, an Italian national who reacquired his nationality of origin as a matter of law merely as a result of having sojourned in Italy for more than two years, without the intention of re-transferring his residence permanently to Italy. The fact that he now resides in Italy is irrelevant for the purposes of the subject case because it involves events which occurred subsequent to those which the Commission is called upon to consider. The Commission, having examined the appraisals of the damages prepared by the two Governments, acting in the spirit of conciliation, DECIDES : 1. That the claimant, Francesco Saverio Zangrilli, is entitled to receive from the Italian Government under the provisions of Article 78 of the Treaty of Peace, the sum of 900,000 lire plus 100,000 lire for the expenses in establishing this claim, thus making a total of 1,000,000 lire net, without any reduction of one-third which may be applicable under said Article 78 as amended by the Exchange of Notes of February 24, 1949, between the Governments of the United States of America and of the Italian Republic.

  • Ancient Roman Civilization
    ANCIENT ROMAN CIVILIZATION HANDOUT PACKAGE FALL 2009 HISTORY 4322/6322 Dr. Peter J. Brand 1 MOST ANCIENT ROME: ORIGINS AND BEGINNINGS Legend of Trojan origins: dates back at least to 5th century BCE, when Greek historian Hellanicus refers to it. Trojan hero Aeneas, in flight from Troy, lands on Italian coast and intermarries with Latin ruling family. His descendants are Romulus and Remus. Aeneas himself was worshipped in Rome under the label Iuppiter Indiges (“native Jupiter”). She-Wolf Legend: current in Italy by late 5th or earlier 4th century, though not clearly with reference to Rome. A statue of babies Romulus and Remus with she-wolf is known to have been set up in Rome as early as 296 BCE. “Latial”/ “Villanovan” settlement on Palatine Hill, which Romans regarded as site of Romulus’ original settlement Sabine component of Roman population: (1) early inhabitants of Quirinal Hill (2) Term for people “Quirites,” originally referring to Sabines, later used for Romans as group. (3) Legend of Sabine women probably is ex-post-facto explanation of Sabine component in Roman makeup. Foundation of Rome: traditionally agreed as being April 21, 753; Roman time-reckoning was generally in terms of so many years “since the founding of the city” (ab urbe condita, abbreviated AUC) Etruscan kings of Rome: Tarquinius Priscus (# 5) and Tarquin the Proud (# 7). The traditional date of his expulsion is 509 BCE. The Republic was believed to have begun immediately afterwards, but this is complicated by Lars Porsenna (of Clusium): attacked, and probably took Rome after Tarquin the Proud was expelled, but did not reinstall him.

  • Castelnuovo Di Porto, Spaccio Di Eroina: Arrestati 4 Extracomunitari Ex Ospiti Del C.A.R.A.,Anguillara Sabazia, Amministrative 2
    Civitavecchia, 21enne aggredito con calci, pugni e colpi di bottiglie: denunciati 4 ragazzi CIVITAVECCHIA (RM) – Gli agenti della Polizia di Stato del commissariato di Civitavecchia hanno identificato e denunciato all’Autorità Giudiziaria 4 giovani, tutti di nazionalità italiana, che nella notte di giovedì 17 settembre, hanno aggredito un loro coetaneo con calci, pugni e colpi di bottiglie. L’aggressione sarebbe avvenuta attorno alle 3 di notte, al termine di una serata trascorsa a bere in compagnia tra i locali del centro cittadino. Rintracciarti, per i 4 giovani, tutti tra i 20 ed i 28 anni è scattata la denuncia per lesioni in concorso aggravate dall’uso di oggetti contundenti. Dalla ricostruzione della vicenda e dalle indagini ancora in corso è emerso che, durante la conversazione, tra la vittima ed uno degli aggressori è nato un diverbio per futili motivi e, improvvisamente, il giovane colpiva al viso con uno schiaffo il 21enne. Nonostante il giovane non avesse reagito allo schiaffo, anche gli altri componenti del gruppo hanno iniziato a colpirlo, prima con calci e pugni, poi con le bottiglie di birra che tenevano ancora in mano, fino a farlo cadere a terra. Il giovane, senza chiamare i soccorsi, si rialzava e si avviava barcollante verso la stazione ferroviaria dove veniva notato da una volante del commissariato, in servizio di controllo del territorio, che si fermava per prestargli soccorso. Notate le escoriazioni sul corpo ed i vestiti sporchi di sangue, i poliziotti gli chiedevano cosa fosse successo. Il 21enne, molto reticente, riferiva di essere stato aggredito, mentre si trovava su viale Garibaldi, con calci pugni e bottigliate, da un gruppo di ragazzi, alcuni di sua conoscenza ma di cui non aveva alcuna intenzione di fornire le generalità.
