Brochure Istituto Vesuviano INGLESE.Indd The Vesuvian International Institute for Archaeology and the Humanities The fi rst major international academic base for study, research, and cultural exchange in the Bay of Naples The Vesuvian Institute, which is located only fi ve minutes from the city center of Castellammare di Stabia, the commuter train station from Naples, Sorrento and Pompeii, and the archaeological sites of ancient Roman Stabiae, accom- modates a wide range of visitors: • Students from Italian and international high schools on cultural tours • University student and professor travel groups from US and international institutions • Universities with study abroad programs in Italy • Researchers from advanced research institutes in Italy (such as The British School in Rome, the American Academy, etc.) • Independent students, researchers, professors, and scholars specializing in diverse humanities fi elds in the area of Stabiae, Pompeii and other major archeological areas in Campania • International cultural travelers A multi-functional research and study facility immersed in the spectacular scenery and vistas of the Bay of Naples. Main Entrance Hall and reception area View from the gardens Conference hall Classroom Computer and Internet lab View of the mountains behind A perfect location for international study and research in a region still as yet little studied The Naples region and southern Italy are among the richest cultural and historic areas in Europe, but also the least studied. The Gulf of Naples has always been a passageway for diverse cul- tures and people throughout history and the inception of many civilizations took place here, leaving an incredible wealth of art and culture. While Rome, Florence and Venice are home to multiple in- ternational study and cultural centers well-equipped with facilities incorporated into the urban fabric of these Italian cities, there are no equivalent facilities in southern Italy, making the Vesuvian Insti- tute a one-of-a kind cultural and research center in the heart of the historically signifi cant Campania region. In June 2007, The Restoring Ancient Stabiae (RAS) Foundation inau- gurated the International Vesuvian Institute for Archaeology and the Humanities, a modern multi-functional residential complex where the main focus is to broaden the study of the cultural, historic, and artistic patrimony of southern Italy by building upon the model of institutions like the École Française, the American Academy in Rome and the American Academy recently opened in Berlin. Vista dell’ingresso A Center for Art and Cultural History and International Cultural Exchange Are you in an international high school and interested in visiting places of historic signifi cance but have yet to fi nd a hospitable structure that best fi ts your academic programs? Are you a univer- sity docent or professor in the department of art history, classics, architecture, music, art, or archaeology? Are you a teacher intere- sted in bringing students to the Vesuvian area? Or perhaps you are an artist looking for inspiration, curious about the vibrant life of Gulf of Naples lying in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius? Or perhaps you are a cultural traveler fascinated by the famous archaeological sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, Boscoreale and Oplontis, or the breathtaking vistas of the Sorrento-Amalfi coast and its medieval towns. On the following page you will fi nd our optional cultural programs (offering packages from a minimum stay of 7 days to a maximum of 21 days) where you and your guests can immerse yourselves in the rich cultural context of the Vesuvian area.

    PPS Newsletter www.tpps.org April 2008 Information to Polymer Processing Society Members PPS-24 in Salerno, Italy, the biggest to date? The beautiful and historic city of Salerno, Italy, is situated 60 km south of Naples and offers an enchanting view of the scenery of the Gulf of Salerno facing the magnificent Amalfi Coast. Nearby are the ancient sites of Pompei and Paestum. Salerno has escaped mass tourism, and it is “authentically Italian”, with a historic center, an ancient castle overlooking the city and the bay, and a long seafront promenade. Its marvelous year-round climate makes it possible to enjoy a “typical Italian” outdoor lifestyle. It will be the location of the PPS-24 annual meeting of the Polymer Processing Society (http://www.pps-24.com). The meeting will take place in June 15- 19, 2008. The venue will be the Grand Hotel Salerno right on the coast overlooking Salerno Bay. Around 1200 submissions for papers to present have been received from more than 40 countries from around the world, making it perhaps the biggest annual meeting ever of the PPS. The team of Prof. Giuseppe Titomanlio is working very hard to make this meeting a grand success. Map of Naples and Salerno Bays.

Abstract Questo articolo è un risultato parziale di una ricerca riguardante la rappresentazione di superfici complesse in geometria descrittiva. La padronanza e l’abilità nell’uso delle diverse tecniche di rappresentazione, consente di raggiungere risultati che altrimenti non sarebbero perseguibili. La Scuola di Disegno di Ingegneria, dell’Università di Palermo si è da sempre fatta promotrice della scienza della rappresentazione attraverso la sperimentazione di tecniche semplificative ed innovative della geometria descrittiva applicata all’architettura e all’ingegneria. In particolar modo, in questo lavoro, si riporta lo studio di una superficie complessa quale è l’elicoide che trova larga applicazione nell’architettura. L’elicoide è qui trattata nella rappresentazione dell’assonometria ortogonale. Il metodo proposto è basato fondamentalmente sull’applicazione indispensabile ed imprescindibile dell’omologia. Alcuni passi, qui dati per scontato, trovano riscontro nei riferimenti bibliografici. This paper presents the issue of a long research on the representation of the complex surface in descriptive geometry. The ability to use the different techniques of representation aims to achieve results that you didn’t image before. In Palermo University, at the Engineering School, the researcher involved the study on the simplify of the so elaborated way to represent the geometry and its applications in architecture buildings and engineering implants. There is just report below the application methods to represent one of the most used surfaces in the practice of buildings.

The first darkened room showcases five of Classical Greece’s best attempts to define the indefinable, all dramatically spotlit. Ilissos, the river god whose turbulent course has flowed from Athens to London and then, most recently, to St. Petersburg and back, has a beauty where flesh, drapery and water coalesce across his body. Apoxyomenos radiates a self-confidence in his muscular body. Doryphoros (via Georg Römer’s stunning bronze copy) finds beauty in mathematical perfection. The beauty of the Townley Diskobolos lies in the grace he achieves despite his clenched crouch. However, newspaper coverage of the exhibition has focused on the one female statue amidst the buff young males. The opening of the exhibition is Aphrodite’s bottom. The statue is turned 180 degrees from the angle at which she is normally first encountered on the way to the Duveen Gallery. It is easy to see why we start this way.

    361 giancarlo fatigati Il coro dei padri di Padula. Avvio alla conoscenza del manufatto, per la sua analisi tecnica e conservativa* I certosini attribuiscono al canto corale, nella forma della pre- ghiera cantata, una eccezionale funzione liturgica; i padri riser- vano ad essa circa cinque ore al giorno. Il tempo dedicato al canto eÁ uno dei momenti della vita certosina in cui si concretizza il mo- dello comunitario e cenobitico dei monaci. Il corrispettivo ideale di vita anacoretico, svolto in solitudine, all'interno della cella, con la pratica giornaliera della meditazione, la preghiera, la lettura, il lavoro manuale, completa il loro disegno dottrinale. Il canto, visto da un'angolazione diversa, rappresenta per i certosini un vero e proprio esercizio fisico, collegato alle tecniche di respirazione, alle contrazioni del diaframma, all'espansione to- racica, alla postura 1. Il luogo deputato al canto nelle certose eÁ il coro in legno, posizionato all'interno della chiesa (fig. 1). La fun- zione per cui il manufatto eÁ stato ideato, progettato e realizzato investe ogni suo aspetto, dalla struttura con le sue partizioni, ai volumi intagliati, alle superfici intarsiate. Ogni elemento del coro costituisce un segno, un rimando a significati di non facile decifra- zione per chi non sia ``iniziato'' 2. *Lefigg.3, 4, 7, 11, 12, 26 e 28 sono riportate a colori alla fine del volume. 1 San Bruno, fondatore nel 1084 dell'ordine certosino, morõÁ nel 1101 senza lasciare una regola scritta, redatta solo nel 1127 da Guigo I, priore di Grenoble; nel 1133 le Consuetudines Guigonis furono approvate e nel 1163 furono diffuse a tutte le case certosine; M.

We provide authentic accommodations, luggage transfers, and some meals, along with comprehensive Route Notes, detailed maps, and 24-hour emergency assistance. This gives you the freedom to focus on the things that matter to you—no group, no guide, and no set schedule to stand in the way of enjoying your adventure, your way. Overview One of Italy’s most blessed regions, the Sorrentine Peninsula and nearby Isle of Capri seemingly have it all—history, elegance, authentic villages, dramatic coastal scenery, and untouched wild places—all interconnected by a wide network of walking trails that remain just out of view of the more touristed places. From Sorrento, Capri, Positano, and Ravello, you slip out of elegant town squares into a landscape of age-old terraces of lemon and olive groves and onto high ridges with sweeping views of the sparkling Mediterranean. You’ll explore at your own pace, wandering through whitewashed villages and climbing hillside trails dotted with wild herbs to stunning clifftop promontories before reaching sumptuous villa gardens. Elegant hotels capture the glamour and old-world style that have drawn visitors for centuries on a Grand Tour, an artist’s retreat, or a jet-setting jaunt.
