Training simulators could provide the inexperienced user a realistic, immersive and safe Vir- tual Environment (VE) designed to accurately reproduce a given scenario with the purposes of information, training and evaluation. This work aims at providing a beneficial VR tool with the purpose of the communicating to the general user the emergency procedures concerning a particular scenario, a fire developing from an heavy vehicle inside the Fr´ejus road tunnel. Taking advantage of the collaboration with the tunnel Authority and undergoing a tailored testing plan, the work also provides an in-depth data analysis with the purpose of assessing the developed platform. 3 Acknowledgements First of all, I want to thank a lot my supervisors, Prof. Lamberti Fabrizio, Prof. Andrea Sanna and Prof. Romano Borchiellini, for the constant support, guidance and availability they provided through the whole development of the work.

  • The Italian Occupation of Southeastern France in the Second World War, 1940–1943
    Italiani Brava Gente? The Italian occupation of southeastern France in the Second World War, 1940-1943 by Emanuele Sica A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2011 © Emanuele Sica 2011 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Many academic works have focused on the German occupation of France in the Second World War, both from the perspective of the occupiers and the occupied. Only a few monographs however had dealt so far with the Italian military occupation of southeastern France between 1940 and 1943. My dissertation strives to fill this historiographical gap, by analyzing the Italian occupation policy established by both Italian civilian and military authorities. Compared to the German occupation policy, the Italian occupation was considerably more lenient, as no massacres were perpetrated and wanton violence was rare. In fact, the Italian occupation of France contrasts sharply with the occupation in the Balkans, where Italians resorted to brutal retaliation in response to guerilla activities. Indeed, softer measures in France stemmed from pragmatic reasons, as the Italian army had not the manpower to implement a draconian occupation, but also due to an humanitarian mindset, especially with regards to the Jewish population in southeastern France. This work endeavors to examine the occupation and its impact on southeastern France, especially at a grassroots level, with a particular emphasis on the relations between the Italian soldiers and the Italian immigrants in the area.
