  • Mantua SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello
    MANTUA SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello MANTUA. SIMPLY WONDERFUL Those who arrive in Mantua are captivated by its unique, timeless allure and welcoming atmosphere. A city which enjoys a breathtaking panorama when viewed from the shores of its lakes. It appears as though it is suspended above the water, a protagonist of an almost surreal landscape, composed of a balance of history, art and nature. Mantua is a city to be visited with ample time, consideration and serenity. The city squares, passageways and cobblestone streets invite the visitor to slowly take in every one of its monuments and historic buildings in order to understand just why it has been declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site along with the neighboringneighbouring town of Sabbioneta. Mantua weaves history, art and culture together everywhere and it is surrounded by an unparalleled natural atmosphere. Unique and magical places that make Mantua simply wonderful. 2 View of the city Mantua at sunset 3 Sabbioneta MANTUA AND SABBIONETA: WORLD HERITAGE SITE July of 2008 is the month when Mantua and neighbouring Sabbioneta where introduced to the list of World Heritage Sites as a unique point of importance. Both cities enjoyed moments of great design importance during the renaissance. Designed and created by the same ruling family, the Gonzaga, two different but complimentary models were applied for each location. In fact, Sabbioneta is a newer city realized by Vespasiano Gonzaga in the second half of the sixteenth century as the ideal capital for his duchy; Mantua instead presents itself as a transformation of an existing city, which changed the ancient urban configuration.

ZANCHIN 1 Abstract: Until its end the Serenissima constantly supported the contagionist hypothesis, playing for all the span of its history the role of pioneer and model for the measures adopted to prevent the diffusion of epidemics. The sanitary preoccupations of the Republic were particularly directed upon people and goods arriving from the territories of the Ottoman Empire from where periodic bouts of plague originated. The examination of the written and iconographic primary sources here considered puts in evidence relevant aspects of the Venetian fight against the plague Key words: Republic of Venice, plague, epidemics, lazaret, quarantine, osella. The experience made during the “tainted” pesthouse, to become later the epidemics of the XIV th century contributed “old” lazaret (Fig. 1 ), the first institution to to the affirmation of the contagionist be established for this purpose. hypothesis of which Venice remained In this last case, according to the vigorous supporter for the entire period of habitual formula, the location was decreed its history [5] as “ healthy (thanks to God) and free from This theory maintained that the cause of any doubt of contagious illness ”: a “fede di the plague, identified with the so called sanità” that is a specific written licence “miasma”, corrupting the air and decom- bearing this statement, was released in posing the bodies, could attach from an such a condition by the local sanitary individual to another, or even adhere itself officers.

  • SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An
    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

  • Teaching Geomatics
    TEACHING GEOMATICS G. Tucci *, V. Bonora University of Florence, Dept. of Restoration and Conservation of Architectural Heritage, 50121 Florence, Italy [email protected] [email protected] KEY WORDS: Teaching, Education, Orthorectification, Knowledge Base, Laser scanning, Photogrammetry ABSTRACT: In the study programmes offered by the Italian Architecture Faculties there is often little time dedicated to the teaching of Geomat- ics. On the other hand there is an ever-increasing awareness that the correct management of the cultural heritage requires that the importance of reliable graphic documentation be recognized; such documentation can be used for elaborating further analyses and for designing conservation projects. This paper presents the results of practical work carried out during the Topography/Surveying and surveying methodology/Survey au- tomation course held in the 2005-2006 academic year at the Faculty of Architecture of the Turin Polytechnic. This work consisted in the metrical survey of the facades of the Valentino Castle at Turin. The castle therefore, not only hosted the classrooms where theoretical lessons were held but also provided the material for practical experience. 1. GEOMATICS AND ARCHITECTURE “Geomatics” is the term used to define all the activities linked survey describes the object being analysed and can be used to to acquisition, processing, analysis, modelling, visualization represent different themes as required.

    The Head of Dipartimento di Economia e Management Dear students, Welcome to the Dipartimento di Economia e Management! Our Department is a lively environment where research and teaching live side by side in the areas of economics, business and management studies, mathematics and statistics. Moreover, courses on legal theory and foreign languages applied to economics are provided. In recent years, the Department has particularly increased its international activities, achieving very good results. We have created an International Relations Office, we have more than doubled the number of exchange students and exchange opportunities (Erasmus and overseas), and we have developed an International Programme for undergraduates and graduates, a MSc in Economics and an MBA totally taught in English, and many other international activities. In coming years, we aim to expand the opportunities for studying business, strategy, and marketing in English. This has a double aim: intensify the presence of foreign students in our Department and stimulate our students to live and work in an international context. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Pisa.
