  • ABRUZZO a “Communications Highway” in Copper and Fibre Optic
    ABRUZZO A “communications highway” in copper and fibre optic cables Abruzzo has taken measures to upgrade its telecommunications and IT systems. Telephone exchanges have been modernised in order to improve quality in communications and, in an effort to improve the fixed and mobile telephone systems, 28,000 kilometres of copper cables and about 2,000 kilometres of fibre optic cables have been laid. Finally, 8,000 ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) gateways have been opened up to increase the number of Internet services available and facilitate the exchange of data and images. New material for production processes In order to help companies to innovate their technology, in 1996 the L’Aquila branch of the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica della Materia) set up a research laboratory: CASTI (Centre for Scientific and Technological Assistance to Companies). Since its foundation, the Centre has been assisting firms wishing to use innovative components in their production processes, carrying out studies on the composition and microstructure of materials. This type of research is also applied industrially in certain aspects of quality and production process control. CASTI has electronic microscopes capable of observing a few atoms at a time and instruments that can treat extremely thin (monomolecular) layers to produce materials with various specific properties. Thanks to this equipment, experiments can be carried out at over 1,000° or close to absolute zero, in a vacuum or at pressures of several thousand atmospheres. The Centre has 15 researchers and attracts large amounts of research investment. Internet site: http://www.aquila.infn.it/infm/Casti/Indice.html The missing link in the Bologna-Bari double track The sharp increase in traffic on the railways of Abruzzo over the last few years, especially in coastal towns, has made it necessary to upgrade the lines.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places.

A visionary and tough decision by those who have made the environment their resource and will project Abruzzo into a major and leading role in “green tourism”. Overall most of this legacy – but not all – is to be found in the mountains, where the landscapes and ecosystems change according to altitude, shifting from typically Mediterranean milieus to outright alpine scenarios, with mugo pine groves and high-altitude steppe. Of all the Apennine regions, Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature, with two thirds of its territory found at over 750 metres in altitude.This is due to the unique way that the Apennine develops in its central section, where it continues to proceed along the peninsula’s

    COMUNE DI PINETO (PROVINCIA DI TERAMO) ARCHIVIO STORICO COMUNALE INVENTARIO 1799 – 1966 A cura di Anna Maria Censorii Sabatina Marini Maria Teresa Piccioni ACTAINFO S.R.L. Ottobre 2006 COMUNE DI PINETO Profilo storico istituzionale Sul toponimo di Mutignano, comune fino al 1927 e frazione di Pineto dal 1929, sono state fatte diverse teorie. Secondo una fantasiosa interpretazione deriverebbe da Mutini Fanum, culto in onore del dio Priapo silvestre, dio degli orti e dell’agricoltura. Altre congetture derivano il nome da Mutini-Janus, legandolo ad un doppio culto, quello di Priapo e di Giano, oppure da Mons-tignarius, ossia ricco di travi. Più correttamente, il suo nome deriverebbe dal personale romano Mutius, trasformatosi poi in Mut(t)inius. Dalle fonti storiche risulta che la denominazione relativa a Mutignano abbia subito nel corso dei secoli diverse trasformazioni. Dal Catalogus Barorum (1150-1168) Berardo, abate del monastero di S. Giovanni in Venere, tenne in feudo “Mutiguianum”. Nel 1275 Giordano, abate del monastero di S. Giovanni in Venere, chiede che gli venga prestato giuramento di fedeltà per le sue quote di possesso di “Mitignano”. Nel 1324 i cappellani di S. Pietro di “Miteneano” o “Mateniano” versano la decima annuale. Nel 1462 Ferrante I d’Aragona restituisce a Giulio Antonio d’Acquaviva i possedimenti del padre, includendovi l’abitato “Mitignani”. Nel 1502 Luigi XII di Valois-Orléans conferma ad Andrea Matteo III d’Acquaviva il casale “Mutignani”. Nel 1659 “Villa Mutignani” consisteva in un castello di 1039 anime. Nel 1729 ottiene la separazione dal tenimento di Atri e nel 1809 viene eretto a Comune di Mutignano.

  • Cities Call for a More Sustainable and Equitable European Future
    Cities call for a more sustainable and equitable European future An open letter to the European Council and its Member States Tuesday 30th April 2019, President of the European Council, Heads of States and Governments of the European Union Member States, We, the undersigned mayors and heads of local governments have come together to urge the Heads of States and Governments of the Member States to commit the European Union (EU) and all European institutions to a long-term climate strategy with the objective of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 – when they meet at the Future of Europe conference in Sibiu, Romania on 9 May, 2019. The urgency of the climate crisis requires immediate action, stepping up our climate ambition and pursuing every effort to keep global temperature rise below 1.5C by mid-century, as evidenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C. Current energy and climate policies in place globally, set the planet on a global warming pathway of 3°C. We are reminded of the inadequacy of our response to climate change, by the thousands of young people demonstrating each week on the streets of European cities - and around the world. We cannot let the status quo jeopardise their future and those of millions of European citizens. We owe it to the next generation to make more ambitious commitments to address climate change at all levels of government and in every aspect of European policy-making. We acknowledge and support the positions of the European Parliament and of the Commission to pursue net-zero emissions as the only viable option for the future of Europe and the world.

The guide to the itineraries to artistic craft wishes to tell of the magic spell of our villages and of people’s passion that animate these places through their work with the awareness that it is possible to hand down the memory only by drawing visitors close to this priceless heritage. The Chieti province, with its peculiarity of environment and traditions, is the ideal place to satisfy the curiosity of the attentive tourist. The four chosen itineraries are just a small part of what this territory has to offer. This guide is testimony to the interest the Chamber of Commerce of Chieti nurtures for this sector, so important because it is evidence of a civilization that proposes itself in such an evident way.

Sim- 5 ple and multiple regression relationships utilising drainage density Dd and hierarchical anomaly index ∆a as independent variables were applied to the Calvano watershed (Central Italy) at different degree of subdivision in tributary drainage basins, so as to assess their contribution to the whole watershed sediment yield balance. In the same way, the role of small hill-reservoirs as sediment-trap and that of areas affected by bad- 10 lands and of tributary basins exposure were also investigated.
