The Poet in an Artificial Landscape: Ovid at Falerii Abstract For Ovid, erotic elegy is a quintessentially urban genre. In the Amores, excursions outside the city are infrequent. Distance from the city generally equals distance from the beloved, and so from the life of the lover. This is peculiarly true of Amores, 3.13, a poem that seems to signal the end of Ovid’s career as a literary lover and to predict his future as a poet of rituals and antiquities. For a student of poetry, it is tempting to read the landscape of such a poem as purely symbolic; and I will begin by sketching such a reading. But, as we will see, testing this reading against what can be known about the actual landscape in which the poem is set forces a revision of the results. And this revision is twofold. In the first instance, taking into account certain specific eaturf es of the landscape makes possible the correction of the particular, somewhat limited interpretive hypothesis that a purely literary reading would most probably recommend, and this is valuable in itself.

    City of Florence Actual Mobility Context

    Present Mobility Situation City of Florence City of Florence Actual Mobility Context Information about the city. Florence is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the province of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with about 370.000 inhabitants Tourism is, by far, the most important of all industries and most of the Florentine economy relies on the money generated by international arrivals and students studying in the city. However, Florence is a major production and commercial centre in Italy, where industrial complexes in the suburbs produce all sorts of goods, rubber goods, chemicals, and food. Traditional and local products, such as antiques, handcrafts, jewelry, shoes, accessories and high fashion clothes also dominate a fair sector of Florence economy. The city income relies partially on services and commercial and cultural interests, such as annual fairs, festivals and fashion shows. Heavy industry and machinery also take their part in providing an income. Florence and its surroundings are the typical European metropolitan area characterized by a strong commuting with about 540,000 city users and about 370'000 residents. The City of Florence covers a relatively small area (just over 100 km 2) compared to a metropolitan area that includes 20 surrounding municipalities with about 970,000 residents. The mobility of the area is characterized by approximately 690,000 daily movements of which 480,000 in the morning . The characteristic of the mobility. The city is located on the North-South axis of Italy, so it is touched by the most relevant infrastructural and transport networks.
  • Per Una Definizione Dei Falisci, Tra Identità, Cultura E Territorio

    Per Una Definizione Dei Falisci, Tra Identità, Cultura E Territorio

    GA BRIELE CIF A NI PER UNA DEFINIZIONE DEI FALISCI, TRA IDENTITÀ, CULTURA E TERRITORIO This paper challenges the common notion of the Faliscans as an autono- mous and autochthonous ethnic group inside Etruria and emphasizes the Falis- can ethnicity as a ductile ideology linked with the geopolitical changes which occurred in the middle Tiber Valley between the 8th and the 3rd centuries BC. Within this framework the paper analyses the landscape history of the ager Faliscus between the 10th and the 3rd centuries BC to identify signifi- cant changes in the territorial organization such as aspects of the political identity of the Faliscans. The Faliscans appear as allied or dependent communities of the power- ful Etruscan city of Veii from the 8th century BC onwards, but substantial changes in Faliscan political unity could have occurred from the 6th century and particularly after the fall of Veii in 396 BC. The political identity of the Faliscans is newly negotiated after 241 BC, despite the drastic modifications occurring in the territory because of the military conquest by Rome. This paper also proposes to identify the area around the via Flaminia as the part of the territory directly controlled by Rome after the peace treaty with the Faliscans, and where the expropriation of lands known from the literary tradition can be identified thanks to the remains of land divisions found by recent archaeological surveys. 1. ASPETTI DELL A STORI A DEGLI STUDI Nella tradizione letteraria antica l’identità etnica dei Falisci appare un tema affatto univoco.

This article presents the results of the first high-resolution GPR survey of a complete Roman town—Falerii Novi, in Lazio, Italy. The authors review the methods deployed and provide an overview of the results, including discus- sion of a case-study area within the town. They dem- onstrate how this type of survey has the potential to revolutionise archaeological studies of urban sites, while also challenging current methods of analysing and publishing large-scale GPR datasets. Keywords: Italy, Falerii Novi, Roman urbanism, GPR, geophysical survey, data fusion Introduction Ancient Rome lay at the centre of a network of cities that played a pivotal role in the admin- istration, social organisation and economy of its empire. By the first century AD, there were approximately 2000 cities across the Roman world (Scheidel et al. 2007: 78) and understand- ing them is central to our knowledge of this period. Cities, however, are inherently large and only very small sample areas can ever be excavated. Furthermore, as many Roman cities have continued in occupation to the present day, excavations are rarely the result of rational research designs.

Industria ed imprenditoria sulla Montagna Pistoiese nella seconda metà dell’Ottocento tenutosi a Limestre (PT) l’11 e 12 novembre 2006 sul progetto di collegamento ferroviario tra Pracchia e La Lima, promosso da Vilfredo Pareto nei primi anni ‘80 dell’800 e sviluppato dai Turri sino al 1898, senza tuttavia realizzarlo. Questo progetto, realizzato poi solo nel 1926 dalla Società Metallurgica Italiana, era del tutto sconosciuto e solo con il reperimento del Fondo Turri, importante archivio familiare ed imprenditoriale tra ‘800 e ‘900 è stato possibile colmare questa lacuna storiografica.

    5 Elaboration of Maps for Climatic Actions in Italy

    Elaboration of maps for climatic actions in Italy P. Croce 5 Elaboration of maps for climatic actions in Italy 5.1 Introduction As stated in Foreword of Eurocodes, maps for climatic actions are typical country specific data, to be included in National Annex as Nationally Determined Parameters. According to EN 1990, Sec.4, Clause 4.1.2(7)P, Note 2 “The characteristic value of climatic actions is based upon the probability of 0,02 of its time varying part being exceeded for a reference period of one year. This is equivalent to a mean return period of 50 years for the time-varying part. ” Statistical elaboration of climatic data is a very complex procedure, as it should be adapted to specific features of the climatic region under examination. In effect, aiming to define characteristic values, it is sufficient to analyse the statistics of annual maxima, so focusing on a discrete set, composed by one value per year of observation. In general, typical steps of the procedure are: 1. selection of meteorological stations granting a sufficiently uniform coverage of the country or of the region in terms of area (longitude and latitude) as well as of altitude for the observed climatic variable (basic wind speed, weight or height and density of snow cover, maximum and minimum temperature), provided that the measurements are available for a sufficiently long time interval (30-50 years); 2. definition of the series of annual extreme values for the variable under consideration; 3. adoption of a suitable extreme value distribution, like extreme values type I distribution (Gumbel), GEV distribution, Weibull distribution, 3-parameters log-normal distribution, generalized Pareto distribution, checking a posteriori its aptness to represent the given variable; 4.
