Apart from a metropolis, it is hard to find a community as diverse and complex as that of Pontinia which, in spite of deep 'local' roots - (by ‘local’ one might only need to refer to the villages lining the Lepini, Ausoni and Aurunci mountains, and other many examples in the surrounding Ciociaria) - has still managed to bring together such a variety of regional influences.

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J.

Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

E-mail: [email protected] 2 Viale dello Statuto 37, Latina, Italy. Submitted on 2016, 27th February; revised on 2016, 27th June; accepted on 2016, 7th July Editor: Gentile Francesco Ficetola Abstract. The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest.

At one end of the spectrum is the view that he was an unscrupulous “chameleon” who distorted the reality of the Allies’ Liberation of Italy to suit his own interests.2 At the other is the claim that he was a true artist whose representations of the horrors of war absorb historical details into what is a consummately literary work.3 In other words, La pelle has been read either as a vulgar deformation or a poetic transcendence of the historical moment it purports to represent.4 And yet Malaparte’s narrative of the myriad social transformations following the Armistice actually combines concrete historical events (the Allies’ arrival in Naples and in Rome, the eruption of Vesuvius on March 22, 1944, and the battle of 1 Malaparte, born Kurt Erich Suckert, joined the Partito Nazionale Fascista in September 1922 and resigned in January, 1931 just before moving to France. Upon his return to Italy in October 1931, he was expelled from the party (despite having already left it) and sentenced to political exile on Lipari for five years of which he served less than two (Martellini Opere scelte xcii-xciv).

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

  • 1 Gazes of Race, Immigration, and Hegemony in Io Sto Con
    A. TESTA: RACE, IMMIGRATION, AND HEGEMONY IN RECENT ITALIAN CINEMA GAZES OF RACE, IMMIGRATION, AND HEGEMONY IN IO STO CON LA SPOSA (ON THE BRIDE’S SIDE) AND COME UN UOMO SULLA TERRA (LIKE A MAN ON THE EARTH) Author: Alessandra Testa Faculty Sponsor: Simona Wright, Department of World Languages ABSTRACT Voices opposing commonly-held perceptions of immigration, Europe, the Global South, and devastating border control policies are becoming more prominent and are challenging the mainstream narrative. Rigorous border control policies created by individual countries within Europe reflect a feeling of being threatened by immigrants from the Global South who invoke Europe’s colonial past. Differences between the dominating hegemonic gaze enjoyed by Italy actively work to marginalize and silence voices presenting a different, less Eurocentric perspective. This paper traces Italy’s background as a colonial, Fascist power to understand the modern-day foreclosed racial elements and postcolonialist sentiments manifested in immigration policies. They are designed to exclude and make Europe and its Southern Mediterranean border into a fortress. Films and documentaries created by Europeans and immigrants offer striking differences in their creators’ points of view and possibly their biases. Comparing and contrasting Gabriele Del Grande’s crowdfunded, award-winning ‘road film’ Io Sto Con La Sposa (On the Bride’s Side) with Dagmawi Yimer’s documentary Come Un Uomo Sulla Terra (Like a Man On Earth) allows us to understand the differing perspectives’ the construction and manifestation of the other take as the issue of migration is observed from the South and from the North. INTRODUCTION Miguel Mellino’s De-Provincializing Italy: Notes on Race, Racialization, and Italy’s Coloniality uses Italy’s conflicted postcolonial past to understand treatment towards immigrants crossing the Mediterranean.
