Often case studies from developing countries were the starting point to discuss the unequal outcomes of struggles over water control in the irrigation field. Often, during lectures I thought about Italian conflicts on drinking water privatisation as an exemplary struggle over control of water resources. This thesis represents an effort to expand the discussion over water conflicts to the drinking water field within the European Union (EU) and to discuss the impact of neoliberal policies and politics in Italy. Since the 1990s, with the aim of allocating water resources, governments around the World have started to introduce various kinds of market-based water sector reforms, thereby increasing private sector participation in drinking water supply (Bakker 2003a). Proponents of private sector involvement argue that private companies have generally a higher performance in term of efficiency, water and service quality, access to finance, expertise and knowledge compared with the state’s possibilities. According to private model supporters, corruption, lack of government capacity and finance lead to the ‘state failure’ in drinking water provision (Budds and McGranahan 2003). On the other side of the debate, the opponents of water privatization claim ‘market failure’ in considering social and environmental implications related to water supply (i.e. pollution, health, equity) and their lack of investment in infrastructure (Bakker 2003a; Hall and Lobina 2004 ). The controversy of private involvement in water control becomes more complex with the shift from ‘government to governance’ that marked the last two decades. This process is characterized by the withdrawal of the state from decision-making arenas and the introduction of new actors such as NGOs, private sector, supra-national institutions (e.g. European Union, World Bank) and sub-national ones (e.g. regional governments, local administrations). The transfer of functions and responsibilities between different levels of government is not just a technical-organizational shift but it carries socio- political consequences as it involves re-arranging the relations of power between state and non-state actors. Furthermore, the shift from government to governance often is connected to ‘neoliberalisation of nature’, that entails the introduction of private sectors principles and models in natural resources management. (Swyngedouw 2004; Castree 2008a). Historically, the Italian drinking water sector followed a similar trend. As other European countries, in the recent past, due to the pressure of European Union, Italy has moved towards an increased presence of private sector norms and principles in water management practices (Lobina 2005a). Currently, the Italian water sector is experiencing many changes that started with the introduction of a water reform in 1994 (l.n. 36/94, so called Galli law). The evolution of legislation on water management interrelates with more general legislation about public utilities management: it follows European 1 guidelines for the introduction of competition in the sector and installs a process of institutional decentralisation towards regional and local levels (Goria and Lugaresi 2004). In particular, the passage of a law that forced privatisation of drinking water utilities led to the opening of a rather heated debate about drinking water governance. While the Italian Government supported the privatization of the drinking water operators, citizens opposed to it in various ways (through popular initiative laws, referendum, demonstrations, debates, etc.). Since the early 2000s, citizens have organized themselves at local and national levels in committees, forums and associations (Petrella and Lembo 2006; Bersani 2011). Water has been discussed not only as a natural resource but also as a way of expression of social power relations. The debate around water governance crossed the technical boundaries of engineering and economics and led to a process of re- thinking water as a politically contested resource. In 2011, a national referendum against drinking water management privatisation was promoted by the Italian Forum of Water Movements (Forum Italiano dei Movimenti per l’Acqua). The referendum aimed to abrogate some articles of different laws that governed water utilities, two questions regarded water.

  • The Old Bridge in Italy
    The Old Bridge in Italy The Old Bridge in Italy Manjula Raman Ponte Vecchio In Italy, there is a city named Florence. The Arno River runs through it. And the Ponte Vecchio stands over the Arno. What is the Ponte Vecchio? Well, its name means "Old Bridge" in Italian. And it is an old bridge. It was built in the 1300s! It was built to take the place of another bridge that had been there. That other bridge had been washed away in a flood. The Ponte Vecchio is easy to recognize. That's because of the shops built on it. These shops are on both sides of the bridge.

Raffa: Dante's Political Life Bibliotheca Dantesca, 3 (2020): 1-25 DANTE’S POLITICAL LIFE GUY P. RAFFA, The University of Texas at Austin The approach of the seven-hundredth anniversary of Dante’s death is a propi- tious time to recall the events that drove him from his native Florence and marked his life in various Italian cities before he found his final refuge in Ra- venna, where he died and was buried in 1321. Drawing on early chronicles and biographies, modern historical research and biographical criticism, and the poet’s own writings, I construct this narrative of “Dante’s Political Life” for the milestone commemoration of his death. The poet’s politically-motivated exile, this biographical essay shows, was destined to become one of the world’s most fortunate misfortunes. Keywords: Dante, Exile, Florence, Biography The proliferation of biographical and historical scholarship on Dante in recent years, after a relative paucity of such work through much of the twentieth century, prompted a welcome cluster of re- flections on this critical genre in a recent volume of Dante Studies.

  • 1 Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the Universi
    Santo Spirito in Florence: Brunelleschi, the Opera, the Quartiere and the Cantiere Submitted by Rocky Ruggiero to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Visual Culture In March 2017. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature)…………………………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The church of Santo Spirito in Florence is universally accepted as one of the architectural works of Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446). It is nevertheless surprising that contrary to such buildings as San Lorenzo or the Old Sacristy, the church has received relatively little scholarly attention. Most scholarship continues to rely upon the testimony of Brunelleschi’s earliest biographer, Antonio di Tuccio Manetti, to establish an administrative and artistic initiation date for the project in the middle of Brunelleschi’s career, around 1428. Through an exhaustive analysis of the biographer’s account, and subsequent comparison to the extant documentary evidence from the period, I have been able to establish that construction actually began at a considerably later date, around 1440. It is specifically during the two and half decades after Brunelleschi’s death in 1446 that very little is known about the proceedings of the project. A largely unpublished archival source which records the machinations of the Opera (works committee) of Santo Spirito from 1446-1461, sheds considerable light on the progress of construction during this period, as well as on the role of the Opera in the realization of the church.

  • Human Impact on Sediment Yield and Channel Dynamics in the Arno River Basin (Central Italy)
    Human Impact on Erosion and Sedimentation (Proceedings of Rabat Symposium S6, April 1997). 301 IAHS Publ. no. 245, 1997 Human impact on sediment yield and channel dynamics in the Arno River basin (central Italy) PAOLO BILLI & MASSIMO RINALDI Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Università di Firenze, Via S. Marta 3, 1-50139 Firenze, Italy Abstract The Arno River basin has been subjected to human disturbance and modification since Roman times. Until 1800 the main aims of such modifications were to provide flood protection for adjacent towns and to acquire new land for cultivation. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the Arno River basin underwent additional significant modifica­ tions, including reforestation, upland sediment retention, a huge increase in bed material exploitation, the construction of two reservoirs and bank protection works. The combination of reduced sediment supply and increas­ ed sediment transport capacity resulted in extensive streambed degradation that threatened the stability of several bridges and other structures. In order to identify the dominant channel changes and the relationship between verti­ cal and lateral adjustments, a comparison of many cross-sections spanning a period of more than one century was made. The relative importance of human activity in causing channel adjustment compared with natural changes, such as the progressively lower runoff recorded during the last seven decades, is discussed. INTRODUCTION A river and its catchment make up a very complex natural system embracing the interaction of many factors. The streambed morphology is the ultimate expression of all the physical processes operating at the basin scale, but it is primarily influenced by streamflow and sediment supply.
