  • Reconstruction of Vegetation History in Central Italy Through a Palynological Approach. a Case of Study from Lago Lungo (Rieti Basin)
    UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DELLA TUSCIA DI VITERBO Department of Agriculture, Forests, Nature and Energy (DAFNE) PhD Course Sciences and Technologies for Forest and Environmental Management - XXV Cycle Reconstruction of vegetation history in central Italy through a palynological approach. A case of study from Lago Lungo (Rieti basin) s.s.d. AGR/05 PhD candidate: Irene Tunno Signature ……………………. PhD Course Coordinator Tutors Prof.ssa Rosanna Bellarosa Prof. Gianluca Piovesan Signature …………………… Signature…………………… Prof. Scott A. Mensing Signature…………………… May 30, 2014 “…Dandomi ancora la gioia infinita di entrare in porti sconosciuti prima…” (F.Guccini) To Emanuele… Abstract Lake sediments record climatic and ecological changes taking place at the time of their deposition. These changes are recorded as stratigraphic variations of physical and chemical properties and changes in species composition of plant and animal remains. Palynological studies provide consistent information of changes that occurred in a particular area especially where many historical documents are available. High-resolution reconstruction of vegetation history can be used to investigate the nature of the past environmental changes, disentangling the effects of climate and human activity on the landscape. A palynological study was carried out in the Rieti basin (Lazio, central Italy). This region has been colonized for millennia, from the pre-Roman period, and strong modifications, both of natural and anthropogenic origin, have occurred through time. Three sediment cores collected from Lake Lungo (371 m. a.s.l.) have been analyzed for a total length of 15 m. Five zones, related to different phases in the evolution of the landscape, have been identified along the cores: an early period (zone 1; 2700-2040 yr BP; 680-30 BCE) characterized by woodlands, showing a natural system with a variety of natural tree species (e.g.

  • 25Th INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION of HOSPITAL ENGINEERING CONGRESS
    25th INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF HOSPITAL ENGINEERING CONGRESS IFHE MAY 27-31 2018 RIETI INVITATION Bologna June 10 2018 Dear International Federation of Hospital Engineering, The SIAIS (Italian Society for Architecture and Engineer for Healthcare) would be honoured to host in 2018, the IFHE 25th Congress, in Italy . The SIAIS believes that the opportunity to have in Italy the 25th edition of the IFHE Congress should not be missed for the following reasons: first of all, Italy is absent from the international scene for a long time, second is that the recurrence of twenty-five years cannot fail to see Italy, which in 1970 hosted the 1st IFHE Congress, as the organizer of this important moment in science. The proposed conference location is Rieti the centre of Italy. The proposed dates in 2018, are : from Sunday, May 27 to Thursday, May 31. The official languages of the congress will be English and Italian, therefore simultaneous translation from Italian to English and vice versa will be guaranteed. Should a large group of delegates of a particular language be present it will be possible to arrange a specific simultaneous translation. May is a very pleasant month in Rieti with nice weather, still long sunny days and warm temperatures. Rieti is an Italian town of 47 927 inhabitants of Latium, capital of the Province of Rieti. Traditionally considered to be the geographical center of Italy, and this referred to as "Umbilicus Italiae", is situated in a fertile plain down the slopes of Mount Terminillo, on the banks of the river Velino. Founded at the beginning of the Iron Age, became the most important city of the Sabine people.

Then he asked Brother Elias to strip him of his habit so that he could lie totally poor on the ground. Brother Elias did as Francis had requested, but then he put another habit on Francis, saying in that authoritative voice that only Brother Elias used, ‘Father Fresco of the death of St. Francis on an outer Francis, I am lending you this wall of the Transitus Chapel in the Basilica of St. habit in Holy Obedience.

  • CENTRAL ITALY TRAVEL EXHIBITION Travel
    CENTRAL ITALY TRAVEL EXHIBITION Travel itineraries in Marche, Umbria, Lazio and Abruzzo Land, history, art, nature, wellness, wine and food ART AND CULTURE Lazio, Umbria and Marche JourneyinG from one region to the next, small towns and varyinG landscapes give way to one another: destinations, hitherto unknown, that will satisfy every kind of tourist. Along these roads visitors will experience a true holiday, moving from town to town, enjoying new thrills and new flavours thanks to the skillful use of local products. Rieti Rieti (405 m a.s.l.) lies in a valley along the river Velino, shadowed by the massif Monte Terminillo. Writers from the classical era thought of Rieti as the geographical centre of Italy (Umbilicus Italiae). It was founded at the beginning of the Iron Age and later became part of the Sabina region. The town’s strategic position along the Via Salaria (a very important road connecting Rome to the Adriatic Sea) accounted for its rapid growth. Eventually the Sabines had to make way for the Romans who ruled the city for many years and carried out important works such as the reclamation of the Lake Velinus. Rieti continued to grow until the Middle Ages, when it became a free commune and Papal seat. From the medieval era the town retains the urban structure of the old town centre and several monuments: the Cathedral, the Bishop’s Palace, and the remains of the town walls, among others. Leonessa Leonessa (969 m a.s.l.) was founded in 1278 and for six centuries was part of the Abruzzo region, in the province of L’Aquila; only in 1927 did it become part of Lazio.
