Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Turin, Turin, Italy Within a larger research carried out with Fiat Auto to analyze the mobility require- ments of elderly population we submitted a questionnaire to a sample of 142 men and 92 women aged 50–80, ex members of Fiat staff living in Northern and Central Italy, to obtain evaluations on retirement condition, on subjective stress sensations before and after the retirement and a series of data about the activities carried out before and af- ter the retirement. We found out that the percentage of subjects positively evaluating the retirement condition is much higher than that of people that gives negative evalua- tions or some positive and some negative evaluations. As expected, positive evalua- tions regard mainly the larger free time at disposal, negative ones the economic aspect. The analysis of subjective stress sensations shows that retired subjects feel signifi- cantly better, are less under pressure, are more satisfied, less irresolute, but also less calm and relaxed. We verified that there is a relation between some subjective stress sensations and the previous job. Analyzing the activities carried out by subjects before and after the retirement we didn’t observed significant changes in the performance of most of them; however after the retirement the percentage of subjects that join associa- tions, stay at home and watch television increases, while the percentage of those that go to cinema and to dance decreases. In addition there is a drop in the sports practice. The results were analyzed pointing out age and sex differences. In general we verified that our sample represents a population that is still quite active and that lives quite well the retirement condition, because the majority of people is well integrated in so- cial life. This fact can also be related with the high percentage of retired persons that keeps on driving.

Requested characteristics such as comfort, good cushioning, stability can be resolved through application human anat- omy, biomechanical engineering and carefully material selection in design procedures. The footwear structures depend on many factors such as subject activity, climate, foot structure and function. The body shock isolation, fatigue and endurance, comfort, fash- ion are examples of some footwear design criteria. Anthropometry is used in many ar- eas of manufacture to provide information for the design of products such as clothing, footwear, vehicle, furniture and any objects with which people interact. The Internet use for on-line electronic retailing has opened up exciting new use for anthropometric data in virtual shopping applications. Anthropometric data sets are the basic for the behaviour and the proportions of the digital human model in virtual environment.

  • A Virtual Train Journey Along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome
    Italian Culture Newsletter Number 22 A Virtual Train Journey along the Mare Ligure from Ventimiglia to Rome. Marie and I have made this journey on a number of occasions. In doing so we have either made the journey in a single day albeit with a change of train, usually at Genova. On other occasions, we have spent an evening or even a few days at Genova and/or at Livorno or Pisa. The journey described will involve more stops on the way but could be more interesting on that account. The trip begins in Ventimiglia where we stayed overnight on our last day of our last holiday in Italy. This had been occasioned by the French railway strike which prevented any trains from running from Ventimiglia to Nice on the day of our arrival from Rome into the city at the Italian- French border in Liguria. Our first visit to Ventimiglia was in 2006 when some Italian friends from Cuneo, due north of Ventimiglia, in Piemonte, met us at the rail station in Ventimiglia to take us for a short stay at their apartment in Nice. On that occasion we didn’t see much of the city except for part of the old medieval town, which now mostly is the home of many of the southerners from Naples, Calabria and Sicily who moved north seeking employment after WWII. The old town is perched high above the new city with its long sea-front promenade and railway station. Ventimiglia is the ancient Albium Intemelium, the capital of the Intemelii, a Ligurian tribe which long resisted the Romans, until in 115 BC it was forced to submit to Marcus Aemilius Scaurus.

This distinctive difference immediately led to the question of “where did the Etruscans originate?” Where did the Etruscans originate? • Some Greeks held that the Etruscans came from Lydia, a kingdom of western Anatolia (or modern day Turkey). • In the 19th c, it was discovered that most of the languages of Europe belonged to one big language family called Indo- European but Etruscan was not one of them. – The Etruscan language is unique in the ancient Greco- Roman world. There are no known parent languages to Etruscan, nor are there any modern descendants. As Romans took control, Latin became the dominant language. – We have no surviving histories or literature in Etruscan.

  • Lazio (Latium) Is a Region of Traditions, Culture and Flavours
    Lazio (Latium) is a Region of traditions, culture and flavours. A land that knows how to delight the visitor at any time of the year, thanks to its kaleidoscope of landscape and stunning scenery, ranging from the sea to the mountains, united by a common de- nominator: beauty. The beauty you will find, beside the Eternal City, in Tuscia, Sabina, Aniene and Tiber Valley and along the Ro- man Hills, without forgetting the Prenestine and Lepini mountains, the Ciociaria and the Riviera of Ulysses and Aeneas coasts with the Pontine islands. The main City is, obvi- ously Rome, the Eternal City, with its 28 hundred years, so reach of history and cul- ture, but, before the rise of Rome as a mili- tary and cultural power, the Region was already called Latium by its inhabitants. Starting from the north west there are three distinct mountain ranges, the Volsini, the Cimini and the Sabatini, whose volcanic origin can be evinced by the presence of large lakes, like Bolsena, Vico and Bracciano lake, and, the Alban Hills, with the lakes of Albano and Nemi, sharing the same volcanic origins. A treasure chest concealing a profu- sion of art and culture, genuine local prod- ucts, delicious foods and wine and countless marvels. Rome the Eternal City, erected upon seven hills on April 21st 753 BC (the date is sym- bolic) according to the myth by Romulus (story of Romulus and Remus, twins who were suckled by a she-wolf as infants in the 8th century BC. ) After the legendary foundation by Romulus,[23] Rome was ruled for a period of 244 years by a monarchical system, ini- tially with sovereigns of Latin and Sabine origin, later by Etruscan kings.

  • Women in Etruscan Tomb Painting by Sophie Isabelle Stefanovich A
    Women in Etruscan Tomb Painting By Sophie Isabelle Stefanovich A research essay submitted to the Graduate Program in Classics in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2018 Copyright © Sophie Isabelle Stefanovich, 2018 Stefanovich i Abstract Previous scholarship on women in Etruscan tomb painting has grounded its conclusion on a number of select, well distinguished tombs that have been used to support or disprove the claim that women held a prominent position in Etruscan society. This research paper aims to expand the literature by compiling an extensive catalogue of tomb paintings at the Etruscan site of Tarquinia, to examine the representation and iconography of women between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. Of the 135 painted tombs known in the Monterozzi necropolis of Tarquinia, there are 62 tombs that contain the depiction of women in various settings, including scenes of dance, athletics, the journey to the afterlife, and most frequently, the banquet. By analyzing the 24 tombs that contain scenes of the banquet where women are present, through their positioning, attire, and iconography, it is evident that the elite women in Etruscan society played an important role in the family. In comparison to scenes of the banquet in Greek art, as well as the accounts from ancient authors who comment on the scandalous actions of Etruscan women, a different picture emerges. The women depicted on the walls of these Etruscan tombs are not entertainers or subordinate companions. They are wives and mothers who, as members of the aristocracy, were essential figures in maintaining the family lineage and as such held greater authority and power.

Etruscan italy as seen by students Excursion participants, Volterra 2017. ENGLISH VERSION Brno 2018 Introduction The excursion to Italy was held from 29th May till 7th June 2017 and was organized by students of Department of Archaeology and Museology of Masaryk University in Brno. The main intention was to present the Etruscan landscape in its natural settings to students of Classical Archaeology and related fields of study. The excursion took place within the grant project FRMU ID-MUNI / FR / 1298/2016 (ID = 36283). This excursion completed following Classical Archaeology courses: AEB_74 (Etruscan and Central Europe) and KLBcA25 (Etruscans in the context of Ancient World - Etruscology), KLMgrA31 (Excursion) but it was considerably valuable as well for students of History and Ancient history. All students had to be active in the period of its organization in order to complete the course and get the credits. Before the field trip, they had to attend a seminar to get acquainted with each visited site and the individual essay’s topics have been shared with students. The selection of topics was based on their own interest. Students were allowed to work in smaller groups or completely independently.

  • DEATH and the AFTERLIFE: ETRUSCAN ART (Tomb Art from Cerveteri, Vulci, and Tarquinia) ROMAN and ETRUSCAN ART
    DEATH and the AFTERLIFE: ETRUSCAN ART (Tomb Art from Cerveteri, Vulci, and Tarquinia) ROMAN and ETRUSCAN ART Online Links: Etruscan art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tomb of the Leopards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Trajan's Column - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fayum mummy portraits - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mithraic mysteries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia She-Wolf. c. 500 BCE, bronze The Etruscans left no literature from which we might gain some insight into their thought, feelings, way of life or their history. We know them only from the probably biased comments of Greek and Latin writers and from the material remains of their culture, found mainly in tombs and susceptible to a bewildering range of interpretations. Etruscan bronze work is known to have been prized in Athens in the fifth century BCE, that is at the height of the Greek Classical period. At least one surviving work fully justifies this estimate – the famous She-Wolf of the Capitol. The extraordinary realism of the tense, watchful stance- ears pricked, brow furrowed, jaws snarling, hackles rising- epitomizes at tits finest and most vividly factual the unidealized, down-to-earth quality of Etruscan art. Chimera of Arezzo (Arezzo), early 4th century BCE, bronze This is another well-known Etruscan bronze work, discovered in the Tuscan town of Arezzo. Inscribed on its right foreleg is an inscription which has been variously read, but most recently is agreed to be TINSCVIL, showing that the bronze was a votive object dedicated to the supreme Etruscan god of day, Tin or Tinia. This is a representation of a beast from Greek mythology that had the head and body of a lion, a tail in the form of a snake, and a goat’s head protruding from its back.

  • Juno's Peacock
    JUNO’S PEACOCK Or the Eyes have it Newsletter of the Wesleyan University Department of Classical Studies Issue 16 Summer 2011 When Argus, the hundred-eyed guard animal (and also the name of Wesleyan’s student newspaper) was killed by Hermes (Jupiter’s hit-man, and the name of Wesleyan’s alternative campus paper), some part of him survived death. His eyes were saved by Juno and set in the tail of her peacock. Argus, you lie low; the light you had in so many eyes is extinguished, And your hundred points of light are now all dark. But Juno saved the eyes, and set them in the feathers of her peacock: She filled its tail with jewels as bright as stars. (Ovid, Metamorphoses 1,720-23) We have had a great response from alumni for the past issues so keep the news coming, to the address listed below or to email ([email protected]).
