Second Half of May 2018 May 2020 – for 8 days (Tentative May 16-24) LEC Study-Trip to Italy is part of an Italian Studies Course (4 credits) Veneto – Emilia-Romagna – Trentino-Alto Adige On this trip 5 World UNESCO Heritage Sites - Borghetto sul Mincio - Peschiera del Garda - Sirmione - Verona - Venice - Trento and Mount Baldo. - Dolomites, San Candido village & lake Di Braies - Ferrara - Ravenna Total cost $3,000 (airfare, hotel, breakfast, dinners, private bus, boat/ferry tours, cultural activities/museums included). First deposit: $200 due in September, non refundable. (by September 19, 2019) Seats are limited. Priority for the best students in Italian Studies. Departure from Cleveland airport, arrival in Milan (Italy) on the following day. First stop on the way to Peschiera del Garda in Borghetto sul Mincio that is one of those places that seem unreal. Like a fairy tale. You arrive here crossing the Visconteo bridge and you discover a tiny village basically lying on the Mincio river, a perfect place for a romantic getaway: stone houses, some ancient watermills, the view of on the melancholic ruins of the medieval bridge and the medieval castle appearing among the trees on the hill. They claim to have the best tortellini! Arrival in Peschiera del Garda, our hotel is here. Peschiera offers its visitors visible signs of every historical era through which it has lived: from the age of pile-dwellers (stilt-house inhabitants) during the Roman Age, and from the early to late Medieval years in which the Scala Family ruled, to the Venetian era, then the Napoleonic Empire, to the Hapsburg rule, when Peschiera was one of the four fortresses of the Austrian Quadrilatero, at the time the most powerful defensive system in Italy, and finally to the Italian Risorgimento (1800s). Today its historic center, with its shops, cafes, restaurants…. is a great place for shoppers and foodies. It is completely enclosed in high Venetian walls, a buffer between the town and the waters that circle it completely and that endow it with its pentagonal form. It is completely enclosed in high Venetian walls, a buffer between the town and the waters that circle it completely and that endow it with its pentagonal form. Second day in Italy: boat tour to Sirmione, an elegant resort town on the southern edge of Lake Garda that has attracted vacation-goers for centuries. We will visit the 13th-century Scaligero Castle and the Roman ruins of the Grotte di Catullo, students can also enjoy the lake’s crystal-clear waters, the amazing thermal baths, shopping, a gelato…… Third day in Italy: Trip to Trento and to to Monte Baldo by cable car (a mountain range in the Alps) for a spectacular view of lake Garda and a nice walk on the mount Baldo! Trento city lies in a wide glacial valley called the Adige valley just south of the Alps foothill range Dolomite Mountains. It is known for its architectural and historical gems, including Buonconsiglio Castle and Trento Cathedral. We will visit both of them. Fourth day: trip to Venice. Few cities can claim such a priceless art, music and history heritage as Venice. This unique city with its magical, spectacular scenery is not just beautiful; it is a real miracle of creative genius, an engineering miracle: a city built on mud, on water. It is a UNESCO world heritage site Fifth day in Italy trip to Ferrara and to Ravenna. Ferrara shines with the former glory of its Renaissance past. A stroll or bike ride past remarkably intact castles and defensive walls makes it say to see how this northern Italian gem scored UNESCO World Heritage status. Second stop in Ravenna that has been the capital of the Western Roman Empire, the capital of the Ostrogothic kingdom, and the center of the Byzantine Exarchate of Italy. Ravenna is connected to the Adriatic sea by the Candiano canal. It is known for its well-preserved late Roman and Byzantine mosaics and architecture, with eight buildings comprising the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Early Christian Monuments of Ravenna". Sixth day: discovering the Dolomites, San Candido village and the breathtaking lake di Braies. The site of the Dolomites comprises a mountain range in the northern Italian Alps, numbering 18 peaks which rise to above 3,000 meters. It features some of the most beautiful mountain landscapes, with vertical walls, sheer cliffs and a high density of narrow, deep and long valleys. This site – a UNESCO world heritage site - contains beautiful lakes and an internationally important combination of earth science values. The quantity and concentration of highly varied limestone formations is extraordinary in a global context, whilst the superbly exposed geology provides an insight into the recovery of marine life in the Triassic period. Seventh day: trip to Verona. Best known for its Shakespeare associations, Verona attracts a multinational gaggle of tourists to its pretty piazzas and knot of lanes, most in search of Romeo & Juliet, love.... But beyond the heart- shaped kitsch and Renaissance romance, Verona is a bustling center, its heart dominated by a mammoth, remarkably well-preserved 1st-century amphitheater, the venue for the city's annual summer opera festival. Add to that countless churches, a couple of architecturally fascinating bridges over the Adige, regional wine and food from the Veneto hinterland and some impressive art. The city is a UNESCO world heritage site. Eighth day: departure early in the morning from Peschiera del Garda to Milan Airport. Fly back to Cleveland most probably with Delta Airlines. .

  • Journeys to Byzantium? Roman Senators Between Rome and Constantinople
    Journeys to Byzantium? Roman Senators Between Rome and Constantinople Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Michael Anthony Carrozzo, B.A Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2010 Thesis Committee: Kristina Sessa, Advisor Timothy Gregory Anthony Kaldellis Copyright by Michael Anthony Carrozzo 2010 Abstract For over a thousand years, the members of the Roman senatorial aristocracy played a pivotal role in the political and social life of the Roman state. Despite being eclipsed by the power of the emperors in the first century BC, the men who made up this order continued to act as the keepers of Roman civilization for the next four hundred years, maintaining their traditions even beyond the disappearance of an emperor in the West. Despite their longevity, the members of the senatorial aristocracy faced an existential crisis following the Ostrogothic conquest of the Italian peninsula, when the forces of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I invaded their homeland to contest its ownership. Considering the role they played in the later Roman Empire, the disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy following this conflict is a seminal event in the history of Italy and Western Europe, as well as Late Antiquity. Two explanations have been offered to explain the subsequent disappearance of the Roman senatorial aristocracy. The first involves a series of migrations, beginning before the Gothic War, from Italy to Constantinople, in which members of this body abandoned their homes and settled in the eastern capital.

  • STIMESI-2 Course, MEMSCAP Mumps Technologies, May 15-18
    STIMESI MEMS Training Course Program MEMSCAP: MUMPs® (Multi-User MEMS) processes Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK Trento, Italy May, 15 - 17, 2012 Abstract MEMSCAP provides access to three MEMS processes, described below, via the MUMPs® MPW service. The PolyMUMPs™ process is based upon the deposition of the following layers onto a Si substrate: a nitride isolation layer, a polysilicon ground layer, two structural polysilicon layers, two sacrificial oxide release layers, and one metal layer for electrical connection and enhanced reflectivity. SOIMUMPs™ utilizes a three mask, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process based upon a starting wafer consisting of layer thicknesses 10 µm or 25um, 1 µm, and 400 µm, for the silicon, oxide, and substrate, respectively. The silicon layer may be patterned and etched down to the oxide to form mechanical structures, resistors and electrical routing. In addition, the substrate can be back-etched to the oxide, enabling the construction of through-hole structures. MetalMUMPs™ employs electroplated nickel as the primary structural and interconnect material. In addition to this, doped polysilicon layers may be used to form resistors or further mechanical structures. Electrical isolation is achieved though the deposition of silicon nitride and oxide is employed as a sacrificial layer. Trench layers may be etched into the substrate so as to achieve additional thermal and electrical isolation. Gold plating of the nickel sidewalls may be employed if low contact resistance is desired. Topics This training course will provide an overview to the three MUMPs® processes, highlighting their different strengths with reference to potential applications. An overview of the design kits will be presented, and design methodologies will be illustrated using hands-on tutorial exercises.

  • The Edictum Theoderici: a Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy
    The Edictum Theoderici: A Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy By Sean D.W. Lafferty A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Sean D.W. Lafferty 2010 The Edictum Theoderici: A Study of a Roman Legal Document from Ostrogothic Italy Sean D.W. Lafferty Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This is a study of a Roman legal document of unknown date and debated origin conventionally known as the Edictum Theoderici (ET). Comprised of 154 edicta, or provisions, in addition to a prologue and epilogue, the ET is a significant but largely overlooked document for understanding the institutions of Roman law, legal administration and society in the West from the fourth to early sixth century. The purpose is to situate the text within its proper historical and legal context, to understand better the processes involved in the creation of new law in the post-Roman world, as well as to appreciate how the various social, political and cultural changes associated with the end of the classical world and the beginning of the Middle Ages manifested themselves in the domain of Roman law. It is argued here that the ET was produced by a group of unknown Roman jurisprudents working under the instructions of the Ostrogothic king Theoderic the Great (493-526), and was intended as a guide for settling disputes between the Roman and Ostrogothic inhabitants of Italy. A study of its contents in relation to earlier Roman law and legal custom preserved in imperial decrees and juristic commentaries offers a revealing glimpse into how, and to what extent, Roman law survived and evolved in Italy following the decline and eventual collapse of imperial authority in the region.

  • Ostrogothic Provinces: Administration and Ideology
    CHAPTER 4 Ostrogothic Provinces: Administration and Ideology Jonathan J. Arnold Introduction This chapter focuses on the non-Italian lands that were part of the Ostrogothic kingdom, here referred to as ‘provinces’, but not to be confused with the prov- inces that constituted the two dioceses of Italy. Indeed, those Italian lands were at the core of the Ostrogothic realm and so synonymous with it that the term ‘Ostrogothic Italy’ is commonly used. Yet even in its earliest years, the Ostrogothic kingdom included lands that lay beyond the diocesan boundaries of Italy and were thus, strictly speaking, not Italian. Moreover, through military campaigns and acts of annexation, these territories increased, particularly dur- ing the reign of Theoderic (compare Figures 1.1 and 1.2). To the north and east, the Ostrogothic regime claimed the Illyrian provinces of Noricum, Pannonia Savia, and Dalmatia, later capturing Sirmium and re-establishing Italian con- trol over Pannonia Sirmiensis. To the west, it annexed portions of eastern Gaul (Mediterranean Provence), later adding the entirety of the Visigothic kingdom and expanding into Burgundy. A realm of this magnitude had not existed in the West since the mid 5th century, and both the Ostrogothic administration and its Italian subjects, as self-conscious heirs to the western Roman Empire, celebrated these achievements as a bona fide imperial restoration. Theoderic, it was claimed, had conquered the barbarians and returned civilitas and liber- tas to the Gauls; Amalasuentha, likewise, had made the Danube Roman again. As former imperial territories, the very acquisition of these provinces helped to legitimize contemporary understandings of the Ostrogothic kingdom as a revived Roman Empire.

  • Chapter 1 the Ostrogothic Kingdom: Ideologies and Transitions Gerda
    Chapter 1 The Ostrogothic Kingdom: Ideologies and Transitions Gerda Heydemann [Accepted manuscript of the article published in: Shane Bjornlie, Jonathan Arnold, Kristina Sessa (eds.), The Companion to Ostrogothic Italy (Leiden: Brill 2016) 15-46; https://brill.com/abstract/book/edcoll/9789004315938/B9789004315938_003.xml.] Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the political history of the Ostrogothic kingdom from Theoderic’s accession until the end of the Gothic War and the promulgation of the Pragmatic Sanction by Justinian in 554. It discusses the ways in which power was organized and legitimized in a world of emerging barbarian kingdoms, but in which the political and cultural traditions of the Roman Empire continued to function as a key frame of reference. The Amal government developed careful strategies of representation in order to negotiate the loyalties and interests of diverse groups within the kingdom and to define their position in relation to the eastern emperor. The consolidation and eventual disintegration of the Ostrogothic kingdom was accompanied by contemporary debates about the legitimacy of Ostrogothic rule, and its compatibility with Roman imperial traditions. The resulting narratives and ideologies of transition continue to shape our understanding of the political changes which led to the emergence of a post-imperial world. Introduction The history of Ostrogothic Italy has complicated beginnings, reaching back well before the year 493, when Theoderic the Great established himself as a ruler over the peninsula. In 476, the general Odovacer overthrew Orestes as the leader of the army in Italy and deposed the emperor Romulus Augustulus, the latter’s son, an event which serves as one of the conventional dates for the end of Antiquity and the transition to the Middle Ages.

  • Vandals, Ostrogoths and the Byzantine Footprints in Sicily: an Archaeological-Historical Review
    Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry Vol. 19, No 2, (2019), pp. 51-61 Open Access. Online & Print. www.maajournal.com DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3066023 VANDALS, OSTROGOTHS AND THE BYZANTINE FOOTPRINTS IN SICILY: AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL-HISTORICAL REVIEW Roksana Chowaniec Institute of Archaeology, University of Warsaw ([email protected]) Received: 16/04/2019 Accepted: 30/05/2019 ABSTRACT This paper presents the review of historical and archeological perspectives on Sicily in the period of Vandals and Ostrogoths invasions, and Byzantine reconquest of the island, and includes new research (excavations and surveys) and archaeological artefacts discovered recently on archaeological sites Akrai/Acrae in south- eastern Sicily. Sicily as the largest and centrally–located island on the Mediterranean Sea, rich in natural resources and playing a key role in political shuffles, was a natural crossroad of trading routes, a melting pot of diverse cultures. Therefore for many reasons it was a ring of various historical events, including Late Antiquity. Since end of 430 AD, after the Vandals conquered the lands of North Africa, island reentered the mainstream of history and became a disputed land and the main battlefield for the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and the Byzantine Empire, which did not leave its economy and population untouched. The political reshuffling and military actions were signalised in the literature mostly in the context of coastal towns of islands, but recent studies of material culture, settlement distribution and roads, show that it surely influenced the cultural landscape of the entire island. The paper also draws attention on the need to cross scientific disciplines (history and archaeology) which might be useful in solving elusive ancient problem and issues, in this case thanks to the archaeological material culture filling gaps in historical and written source sources associated with presence of Vandals, Ostrogoths and Byzantine Empire in Sicily, with particular interest of its interior.
