By this a higher market integration is expected (also indicated by an increase of NTC values on Slovenia-Italy border) and even higher level of market coupling could be achieved. The biggest impact on neighbouring countries is increased security operation, higher market integration, elimination of congestions and increased transmission capacity on the border with Italy and will allow increased operational security in case of outages throughout Slovenia and neighbouring countries. The high SEW/GTC values in the V2 and V1 are mainly related to the lower CO2 value used in the scenarios that makes coal generation cheaper than gas and leads to higher Italian import, especially for Vision2. On the opposite side in V3 and V4, the higher CO2 costs and the higher RES generation capacity lead to a different use of the Italian Northern boundary, characterized by a lower SEW, but higher RES integration indicators values. Project Cost Benefit Analysis This project has been assessed by ENTSO-E in line with the Cost Benefit Analysis methodology, approved by the EC in February 2015. Projects 26, 31, 150, 174, 21, 210 and 250 at the North-Italian boundary are assessed with multiple TOOT steps to reflect the sequence of expected commissioning dates.The indicators B6/B7 reflect particular technical system aspects of projects based on a summation of qualitative performance indicators, in line with the CBA methodology; these cannot be used as a proxy for the security of supply indicator. The assessment of losses variations induced by the projects improved in the TYNDP 2016 compared to the TYNDP 2014 with a comprehensive all year round computations on a wide-area model capturing all relevant flows. The results must however be considered with caution and not totally reliable due to their very high sensitivity to assumptions regarding the detailed location of generation which are not secured.

  • The Immigration Conundrum in Italy and Spain
    AMERICA Immigration, Law& The Immigration Conundrum in American Identity Italy and Spain Laws and policies in Italy and Spain reveal ambivalence about immigration. by Kitty Calavita Both Spain and Italy have significant undocumented immigration populations. In this article, Kitty Calavita explains the origins of increased migration to Italy and Spain, beginning in the 1980s, the role of immigrants in the economy, the anti-immigrant backlash, and immigration law and policy today. pain and Italy have long been countries of emigration, sending millions “Spain and Italy of working men, women, and children to every corner of the globe since the late 1800s. In the decades after World War II, Spaniards and Italians found labor opportunities closer to home, shuttling back and forth to passed their first Snorth and central Europe where they supplied the backbone of the industrial labor force for the post-war economic boom. This migrant stream began to immigration laws in reverse itself in the early 1980s, as many former emigrants returned home, and these southern European countries attracted large numbers of immigrants from 1985 and 1986, beyond their borders. Italy experienced its own “economic miracle” in the post-WWII decades, respectively.” drawing large numbers of rural people from its less developed southern regions to its northern industrial centers. By the mid-1970s the gap between Italy and its northern European neighbors had narrowed. The increased employment opportunities and higher wage levels associated with this transformation attracted immigrants from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, much as in earlier years Italians had migrated north to better jobs. By 2006, approximately 4 million foreigners resided in Italy, with an estimated 300,000 being undocumented.

  • Italian Immigrants and Italy: an Introduction to the Multi-Media Package on Italy
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 067 332 SO 004 339 AUTHOR Witzel, Anne TITLE Italian Immigrants and Italy: An Introduction to the Multi-Media Package on Italy. INSTITUTION Toronto Board of Education (Ontario). Research Dept. PUB DATE May 69 NOTE 16p. EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC -$ 3.29 DESCRIPTORS Annotated Bibliographies; *Cultural Background; Elementary Education; *European History; Geography; History; *Immigrants; *Italian Literature; Resource Guides; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS *Italy ABSTRACT The largest group of non-English speaking immigrants who come to Canada are Italians, the vast majority of whom are from Southern Italy. This paper furnishes information on their cultural background and lists multi-media resources to introduce teachers to Italian society so that educators may better understand their students. Immigrant children are faced with choosing between two conflicting life styles -- the values of Canadian society and family values and customs. When teachers are aware of the problem they can cushion the culture shock for students and guide them througha transitional period. The paper deals with history, geography, and climate, explaining and suggesting some ideas on why Southern Italy differs from Northern and Central Italy. Cultural differencescan be traced not only to the above factors, but also to ethnic roots and the "culture of poverty" -- attitudes of the poor which create a mentality that perpetuates living at a subsistence level. The low status of women as it affects society is discussed, since the family is seen as a society in microcosm. The last portion of the paper presents primary sources, annotated bibliographies, and audio-visual materials. A related document is SO 004 351.

  • The Ancient People of Italy Before the Rise of Rome, Italy Was a Patchwork
    The Ancient People of Italy Before the rise of Rome, Italy was a patchwork of different cultures. Eventually they were all subsumed into Roman culture, but the cultural uniformity of Roman Italy erased what had once been a vast array of different peoples, cultures, languages, and civilizations. All these cultures existed before the Roman conquest of the Italian Peninsula, and unfortunately we know little about any of them before they caught the attention of Greek and Roman historians. Aside from a few inscriptions, most of what we know about the native people of Italy comes from Greek and Roman sources. Still, this information, combined with archaeological and linguistic information, gives us some idea about the peoples that once populated the Italian Peninsula. Italy was not isolated from the outside world, and neighboring people had much impact on its population. There were several foreign invasions of Italy during the period leading up to the Roman conquest that had important effects on the people of Italy. First there was the invasion of Alexander I of Epirus in 334 BC, which was followed by that of Pyrrhus of Epirus in 280 BC. Hannibal of Carthage invaded Italy during the Second Punic War (218–203 BC) with the express purpose of convincing Rome’s allies to abandon her. After the war, Rome rearranged its relations with many of the native people of Italy, much influenced by which peoples had remained loyal and which had supported their Carthaginian enemies. The sides different peoples took in these wars had major impacts on their destinies. In 91 BC, many of the peoples of Italy rebelled against Rome in the Social War.

  • Spain and Italy: Catching up and Falling Behind. Two Different Tales of Productivity Slowdown1
    Spain and Italy: Catching up and falling behind. Two different tales of productivity slowdown1 Matilde Mas*, Carlo Milana** and Lorenzo Serrano* *University of Valencia and Ivie2; **Istituto di Studi e Analisi Economica Abstract The paper presents a first set of results for Spain and Italy using the EUKLEMS database. It emphasizes the different paths followed by the two countries over the last thirty five years, even though they still have many features in common. The motivation behind this paper is the poor productivity performance that the two countries have shown recently. The general overview details the factors underlying the process of per capita income convergence. Productivity performance is highlighted as the driving factor of convergence, deserving the greatest attention from different perspectives: the contributions of the different sources of productivity growth, which make use of the growth accounting framework; the impact of the structural change undergone by the two countries while moving from economies with still important shares of the agricultural sector to a more modern one; or the responsibility of poor productivity improvements in given industries. The changing composition of labour also deserves a detailed analysis because of its importance in productivity over the period analyzed. PRELIMINARY DRAFT 1 This research has been funded by the European Commission, Research Directorate General as part of the 6th Framework Programme, Priority 8, “Policy Support and Anticipating Scientific and Technological Needs”. We are grateful to the EUKLEMS consortium for helpful comments on our initial findings, presented at the EU KLEMS Conference, Amsterdam, January 12th, 2007. M. Mas and L.

  • The Impact of Relative Sea Level Rise on the Northern Adriatic Sea Coast, Italy
    Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards II 137 The impact of relative sea level rise on the Northern Adriatic Sea coast, Italy L. Carbognin1, P. Teatini2,1 & L. Tosi1 1Institute of Marine Sciences, National Research Council, Venice, Italy 2Department of Mathematical Methods and Models or Scientific Applications, University of Padua, Italy Abstract The lowlying coast of the Northern Adriatic Sea, between the Venetian territory to the north and the Ravenna area to the south, is very sensitive to land and sea elevation changes. Subsidence assessments show that geological land subsidence has and continues to occur unevenly at different rates (from less than 1 to more than 5 mm/yr), ascribable primarily to sediment compaction and secondly to deformation of substratum. Anthropogenic subsidence, mainly due to ground- fluid removal, has severely occurred in the second half of 1900 reaching values of some centimetres in the Venice area and a few meters southward. Starting in the 1970s, however, with the halt of groundwater withdrawals, anthropogenic subsidence has been strongly reduced or stopped. The availability of tide gauge data in Trieste, Venice, and Ravenna, along the Northern Adriatic coast, allows accurate assessment and meaningful observations of sea level changes. The analysis of data recorded from 1890 to 2007 shows negative trends of relative sea level equal to 1.2 mm/yr in Trieste, 2.5mm/year in Venice, and 8.5 mm/yr in Ravenna. Since Trieste is known to be stable, the rate of 1.2 mm/yr is attributable to the eustatic rise only. The comparison between Trieste and the other two cities shows that the trend at Venice and Ravenna is significantly influenced by land subsidence that is responsible for about the 57% and 85%, respectively, of the recorded relative sea/ground elevation changes.

  • Culture As a Developmental Driver for Italy in the Post-Covid Scenario
    WEBINAR Culture as a developmental driver for Italy in the post-Covid scenario 15 May 2020 | 15.00-18.30 CEST (Paris time zone) oe.cd/culture-webinars #OECDculture REGISTER HERE Cultural and creative sectors are among the most affected by the current Coronavirus (COVID- 19) crisis also due to the extreme fragmentation of the sector where the share of small and micro firms and individual freelancers is extremely high. Although immediate support measures are necessary and urgent, this crisis also provides an important opportunity to reconsider medium- and long- term strategic options and to realign them to the shifting social, economic and technological trends. Italy in particular, whose country image is greatly associated with culture, could seize the opportunity by launching a new cycle of strategic design that involves all main stakeholders: public administration, industry, cultural players and professionals and civil society. The purpose of this webinar, organised by the OECD Venice Office for Culture and Local Development and Cultura Italiae, is to contribute to this process by convening some of the most authoritative and experienced representatives from all sectors to debate on the place of culture in Italy’s competitiveness model and the ways to foster culture-led local development in the recovery and beyond.
