Terna: € 170 Million for the New “Colunga- Calenzano” Power Line Between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany The new power line authorised to improve reliability, efficiency and quality of the electricity system TERNA: € 170 MILLION FOR THE NEW “COLUNGA- CALENZANO” POWER LINE BETWEEN EMILIA-ROMAGNA AND TUSCANY The work, which runs between the Provinces of Bologna and Florence, is one of the most important projects for the development of the Italian electricity grid outlined in the 2021-2025 Business Plan 84 km of new lines, plus 16 km of underground cables and around 106 km of old overhead power lines demolished with more than 200 hectares of land freed Rome, 9 December 2020 – The decree has been signed, authorising the new 380 kV power line which will join the Colunga (province of Bologna) and Calenzano (province of Florence) areas. This line will ensure a notable increase in the exchange capacity between North and Centre-North, strengthening the mesh of the electricity grid. This is a strategic action to resolve the critical issues in the supply of electricity between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany which connects the centre of the country, for which Terna will now proceed with the final design and with all the activities in preparation for the opening of the construction sites by the end of 2021. With an investment of approximately € 170 million, the new connection, which is one of the Terna’s main projects planned in the next 5 years for the development of the national electricity grid, will help to resolve the grid congestions in one of the critical areas of the Italian electricity system guaranteeing greater efficiency and sustainability of the regional electrical infrastructure. The project, which will involve 12 municipalities, 9 in the province of Bologna (Castenaso, San Lazzaro, Ozzano, Pianoro, Monterenzio, Monghidoro, San Benedetto Val di Sambro, Castiglione dei Pepoli and Loiano) and 3 in the province of Florence (Firenzuola, Barberino del Mugello and Calenzano) provides for the creation of a new line 84 km long, 39 in Emilia-Romagna and 45 in Tuscany, between the Colunga and Calenzano electrical substations, replacing the current 220 kV power line built more than 60 years ago. Approximately 106 km of overhead power lines will be demolished, 68 in Emilia-Romagna and 38 in Tuscany, which will make it possible to free up a total of more than 200 hectares of land. With more than 16 km of new underground lines, as well as an improvement in the security and resilience of the electricity system, it will generate important environmental benefits for the local communities. The creation of the new “Colunga-Calenzano”, in line with Terna’s strategy, which gives sustainability a central and essential role in all its activities, will follow the existing route for 50% in order not to involve new territories and provide for variants, agreed upon with the municipalities involved, where there are buildings and built-up areas developed after the construction of the existing line at the end of the 1950s. In addition, Terna will assess the possibility of optimising the integration of the new line into the surrounding environment through a study of the tones of the territory on the supports located in the areas of greatest landscape value. .

  • The Packaging Machinery Cluster in Bologna
    Collective Goods in the Local Economy: The Packaging Machinery Cluster in Bologna Paper by Henry Farrell and Ann-Louise Lauridsen March 2001 The debate about the industrial districts of central and north-eastern Italy has evolved over the last 25 years. Initially, many saw them as evidence that small firms could prosper contrary to the arguments of the proponents of big industry. Debate focussed on whether small firm industrial districts had a genuine independent existence, or were the contingent result of large firms’ outsourcing strategies (Brusco 1990, Bagnasco 1977, Bagnasco 1978). This spurred discussion about the role of local and regional government and political parties – small firm success might need services from government, associations, or local networks (Brusco 1982, Trigilia 1986). The difficulties that many industrial districts experienced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, together with the greater flexibility of large firms, led to a second wave of research, which asked whether industrial districts had long term prospects (Harrison 1994, Trigilia 1992, Bellandi 1992, Cooke and Morgan 1994). The most recent literature examines the responses of industrial districts to these challenges; it is clear that many industrial districts have adapted successfully to changing market conditions, but only to the extent that they have changed their modes of internal organisation, and their relationship with the outside world (Amin 1998, Bellandi 1996, Dei Ottati 1996a, Dei Ottati 1996b, Burroni and Trigilia 2001). While these debates have generated important findings, much basic conceptual work remains unfinished. There is still no real consensus about what forces drive evolution in industrial districts and lead to their success or failure.

In this context, the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) is considered a pioneer in Italy, due to the efforts taken for the transition towards a circular economy. It was the first Italian region to launch a specific law on the subject besides to have relevant projects. Thus, the objective of this paper is to analyse the efforts aimed at the transition to a circular economy in the Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy, considering technological, legal–regulatory, and financial points of view under a market orientation. Complementary, we pointed out the main initiatives related to the circular economy and the areas of interest. To gather data, we conducted applied, descriptive and qualitative research.

  • Linguistic Contact in Prehistoric Italy
    names, Vol. 63 No. 3, September 2015, 158–70 Linguistic Contact in Prehistoric Italy: At The Origins of the Placename Imola Francesco Perono Cacciafoco Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Andrea Nanetti Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore This paper explores possible connections between the Indo-European roots *yem-/*jem- and *am- (*me-) and the Etruscan stem am- through the analysis and reconstruction of the pre-Latin etymology of the Italian placename Imola (Bologna, Emilia-Romagna). The evaluation of plau- sible links between Indo-European (Italic and, especially, Celtic) and Etruscan in this area, in the specific field of historical toponomastics, could allow relevant considerations inherently in the notions of reuse and refunctionalization of roots pertaining to different languages and linguistic families in the (mainly Prehistoric or Proto-historic) topon- ymy of border areas. The placename Imola is, therefore, reconstructed through a “convergent” methodology that takes into account the pos- sibility of different and heterogeneous influences in the naming process. The work starts from the analysis of the Indo-European root *yem- /*jem- inferring the possibility of contacts between Indo-Europeans and Etruscans in the area of the inhabited center. The proposal of possible linguistic interexchange envisages the hypothesis of a semantic align- ment between the Indo-European root *yem-/*jem- and the Etruscan stem am- or an analogy between the two bases and the Indo-European theme *am- (*me-). The conclusions (a plausible contact and alignment between Indo-European and Etruscan in a border area) of this paper could be relevant also in the field of historical semantics and in the re-interpretation of Etruscan stem am-.
