  • ABRUZZO a “Communications Highway” in Copper and Fibre Optic
    ABRUZZO A “communications highway” in copper and fibre optic cables Abruzzo has taken measures to upgrade its telecommunications and IT systems. Telephone exchanges have been modernised in order to improve quality in communications and, in an effort to improve the fixed and mobile telephone systems, 28,000 kilometres of copper cables and about 2,000 kilometres of fibre optic cables have been laid. Finally, 8,000 ISDN (Integrated Service Digital Network) gateways have been opened up to increase the number of Internet services available and facilitate the exchange of data and images. New material for production processes In order to help companies to innovate their technology, in 1996 the L’Aquila branch of the National Institute for the Physics of Matter (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica della Materia) set up a research laboratory: CASTI (Centre for Scientific and Technological Assistance to Companies). Since its foundation, the Centre has been assisting firms wishing to use innovative components in their production processes, carrying out studies on the composition and microstructure of materials. This type of research is also applied industrially in certain aspects of quality and production process control. CASTI has electronic microscopes capable of observing a few atoms at a time and instruments that can treat extremely thin (monomolecular) layers to produce materials with various specific properties. Thanks to this equipment, experiments can be carried out at over 1,000° or close to absolute zero, in a vacuum or at pressures of several thousand atmospheres. The Centre has 15 researchers and attracts large amounts of research investment. Internet site: http://www.aquila.infn.it/infm/Casti/Indice.html The missing link in the Bologna-Bari double track The sharp increase in traffic on the railways of Abruzzo over the last few years, especially in coastal towns, has made it necessary to upgrade the lines.

Chapter 5 Variation in Romance Diego Pescarini and Michele Loporcaro 5.1 Introduction This chapter sets out to show how the study of linguistic variation across closely related languages can fuel research questions and provide a fertile testbed for linguistic theory. We will present two case studies in structural variation – subject clitics and (perfective) auxiliation – and show how a comparative view of these phenomena is best suited to providing a satisfactory account for them, and how such a comparative account bears on a number of theoretical issues ranging from (rather trivially) the modeling of variation to the definition of wordhood, the inventory of parts of speech, and the division of labour between syntax and morphology. 5.2 Systematic variation: the case of subject clitics French, northern Italian Dialects, Ladin, and Romansh are characterized by the presence, with variable degrees of obligatoriness, of clitic elements stemming from Latin nominative personal pronouns.

The guide to the itineraries to artistic craft wishes to tell of the magic spell of our villages and of people’s passion that animate these places through their work with the awareness that it is possible to hand down the memory only by drawing visitors close to this priceless heritage. The Chieti province, with its peculiarity of environment and traditions, is the ideal place to satisfy the curiosity of the attentive tourist. The four chosen itineraries are just a small part of what this territory has to offer. This guide is testimony to the interest the Chamber of Commerce of Chieti nurtures for this sector, so important because it is evidence of a civilization that proposes itself in such an evident way.

  • The Aqueduct of Lanciano in Abruzzo, Italy: Reading and Interpretation As Means to Preserve an Unknown Landscape
    Proceedings of the 2nd ICAUD International Conference in Architecture and Urban Design Epoka University, Tirana, Albania, 08-10 May 2014 Paper No. 263 The Aqueduct of Lanciano in Abruzzo, Italy: Reading and Interpretation as Means to Preserve an Unknown Landscape Melissa Di Giovanni Freelance historian [email protected] ABSTRACT Among the elements that characterize the Italian landscape, the historical paths assume a significant interest for the testimonial value they represent. Since the end of 1800 they define the expression of the cultural politics of post-unitary Italy, attributing to the connections the potential of promoting economic and cultural exchanges between people with different history and traditions. To the word “connections” various nets are attributable, as well as infrastructures as aqueducts. In the literature, the theme of the aqueduct is quite examined, as evidenced by the great Romans heritage; this research rather considers the period from late 1800s to early 1900s, during which the projects for the hygienic improvement of Italian cities are included. A time where the technological evolution of hydraulic systems and their graphic representation becomes a means to support the development of Italian industrial society. The territory of the present research is Province of Chieti (Italy), which includes the most important water supply of Abruzzo Region: the Aqueduct of Lanciano. It was built in 1897 to supply the city of Lanciano with the sources of Verde River flowing from the Majella Mountain Range. According to the rules of the modern engineering, the pipeline is completely underground for about 26 km, defying a geologically rugged territory. Its characteristics of non-visibility and non- practicability are a challenge in terms of research and offer a new opportunity to preserve this territory.
