Unlike almost all the other contributions, it is far more than an informative chronicle. It is a work of history in its own right and falsely described as a Life of Alexander 111. Boso's work is in fact a history of the Iong schism in the church brought about by the double election of I159 and perpet- uated until the Peace of Venice in I 177. It makes no claim to be a Life of Alexander because it not only says nothing about his career before his election but also purposely omits all those events and activities of his pontificate which do not strictly belong to the history of the schism. It ends with Alexander's return to Rome in 1176. Some historians have imagined that this ending was enforced by Boso's death which is supposed to have taken piace in 1178.~But there is no need for such a supposition.

(EJiiPfflNITHIS Lance Armstrong Has Something to Get Off His Chest He doesn't use performance-enhancing drugs, he insists, no matter what his critics in the European press and elsewhere say. And yet the accusations keep coming. How much scrutiny can the two-time Tour de France winner stand? by Michael Hall In May of last year, Lance Armstrong was riding in the Pyrenees, preparing for the upcoming Tour de France. He had just completed the seven-and-a-half-mile ride up Hautacam, a treacherous mountain that rises 4,978 feet above the French countryside. It was 36 degrees and raining, and his team's director, Johan Bruyneel, was waiting with a jacket and a ride back to the training camp. But Lance wasn't ready to go. "It was one of those moments in my life I'll never forget," he told me. "Just the two of us. I said, 'You know what, I don't think I got it. I don't understand it.1 Johan said, 'What do you mean? Of course you got it. Let's go.' I said, 'No, I'm gonna ride all the way down, and I'm gonna do it again.' He was speechless. And I did it again." Lance got it; he understood Hautacam—in a way that would soon become very clear.

  • LEGNANO – Italia
    Le maglie che hanno fatto la storia del ciclismo 3 LEGNANO – Italia La squadra ciclistica “Legnano” nasce nel 1906 parallelamente alla comparsa della fabbrica di biciclette costituita dall’industriale milanese Emilio Bozzi con l’appoggio della “Franco Tosi”. La fabbrica produceva biciclette su licenza dell’inglese Wolseley immesse sul mercato italiano con il nome di “Wolsit” (contrazione di "Wolseley Italiana") ma Bozzi volle intitolare la squadra ciclistica alla città dove aveva sede la fabbrica. Nel 1927 la “Wolsit” cambiò nome in "Legnano", con Bozzi unico proprietario, e assunse come simbolo quello del monumento al guerriero di Legnano. Il bozzetto da riprodurre sulle bici lo realizzò Binda. La maglia della Legnano era inizialmente grigio-rossa per poi diventare stabilmente verde “ramarro” dalla fine degli anni trenta. US Vicarello 1919 www.usv1919.it febbraio 2021 La prima vittoria della Legnano dovrebbe essere (il condizionale è d’obbligo poiché le fonti sono un po' confuse) la quarta tappa del Giro di Sicilia del 1908 vinta da Pierino Albini ma già nel 1909 la squadra vince quattro tappe al primo Giro d’Italia e con il romano Dario Beni ottiene il suo primo campionato italiano su strada. Nel 1910 la Legnano vince due tappe al Tour de France con Ernesto Azzini. Le vittorie di Azzini non furono però le prime vittorie all’estero perché nella primavera dello stesso anno Maurice Brocco, forte corridore francese, vince con i colori grigio-rossi della Legnano la Parigi – Bruxelles. 1910, Tour de France: Albini, in maglia Legnano, viene superato da Lapize, che poi vincerà il Tour , sul Col d’Aubisque Da quel momento la Legnano non si ferma più e continua a vincere divenendo una delle più forti squadre di sempre a livello mondiale.

  • Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour
    Organizational Forms in Professional Cycling – Efficiency Issues of the UCI Pro Tour Luca Rebeggiani§ * Davide Tondani DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 345 First Version: August 2006 This Version: July 2007 ISSN: 0949–9962 ABSTRACT: This paper gives a first economic approach to pro cycling and analyses the changes induced by the newly introduced UCI Pro Tour on the racing teams’ behaviour. We develop an oligopolistic model starting from the well known Cournot framework to analyse if the actual setting of the UCI Pro Tour leads to a partially unmeant behaviour of the racing teams. In particular, we show that the blamed regional concentration of their race participation depends on a lack of incentives stemming from the licence assignation procedure. Our theo- retical results are supported by empirical data concerning the performance of the racing teams in 2005 and 2006. As a recommendation for future improvements, we derive from the model the need for a relegation system for racing teams. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Der Aufsatz stellt die erste ökonomische Analyse des professionellen Radsports dar. Er analysiert insbesondere die Anreizwirkungen der neuen UCI Pro Tour auf Teams und Fahrer. Ausgehend von dem bekannten Cournot-Ansatz entwickeln wir ein einfaches Oligopol-Modell, um zu untersuchen, ob die der- zeitige Pro Tour-Organisation zu einem unerwünschten Verhalten der Teilnehmer führt. Wir zeigen, dass insbe- sondere das Problem der geographischen Konzentration der Rennteilnahmen der Teams von den mangelnden Anreizen abhängt, die vom jetzigen Lizenzvergabesystem ausgehen. Unsere theoretischen Ergebnisse werden durch empirische Daten aus der Pro Tour 2005 und 2006 gestützt. Als Empfehlung für zukünftige Entwicklun- gen leiten wir aus dem Modell die Notwendigkeit einer Öffnung der Pro Tour ab, mit Auf- und Abstiegsmög- lichkeiten für Rennteams.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-14770-6 — Turin and the British in the Age of the Grand Tour Edited by Paola Bianchi , Karin E. Wolfe Frontmatter More Information i Turin and the British in the Age of the Grand Tour h e Duchy of Savoy i rst claimed royal status in the seventeenth century, but only in 1713 was Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy (1666– 1732), crowned King of Sicily. h e events of the Peace of Utrecht (1713) sanc- tioned the decades- long project the Duchy had pursued through the con- voluted maze of political relationships between foreign powers. Of these, the British Kingdom was one of their most assiduous advocates, because of complementary dynastic, political, cultural and commercial interests. A notable stream of British diplomats and visitors to the Sabaudian capital engaged in an extraordinary and reciprocal exchange with the Turinese during this fertile period. h e l ow of travellers, a number of whom were British emissaries and envoys posted to the court, coincided, in part, with the itineraries of the international Grand Tour which transformed the capital into a gateway to Italy, resulting in a conl agration of cultural cosmopolitanism in early modern Europe. PAOLA BIANCHI teaches Early Modern History at the Universit à della Valle d’Aosta. She has researched and written on the journeys of various English travellers who came to Italy in the eighteenth century to be pre- sented at the Savoy court and to be part of Piedmont society. Her pub- lications include Onore e mestiere. Le riforme militari nel Piemonte del Settecento (2002); Cuneo in et à moderna.

The project to be shown at the Lia Rumma Gallery in Naples is entitled Preparing the Flute and presents a reduced scale interior of a theatre which refers to the set design adopted in Brussels. The structure has a series of five progressive wings which mark out the perspective of the space and act as a frame for the video projected onto the end wall. At the same time other animated images, these also drawn with white lines onto a black background are projected frontally using the lateral wings as screens. The video and the drawings on display in the exhibition show landscapes and figures that allude, often in ironical fashion, to the events and characters from Mozart’s opera. In this way, the themes which are already present in other of Kentridge’s works – such as the caged lion, the metamorphosis whereby objects are transformed into animals, the broken lines that become brightly lit paths..
