  • Mantua SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello
    MANTUA SIMPLY WONDERFUL Piazza Sordello MANTUA. SIMPLY WONDERFUL Those who arrive in Mantua are captivated by its unique, timeless allure and welcoming atmosphere. A city which enjoys a breathtaking panorama when viewed from the shores of its lakes. It appears as though it is suspended above the water, a protagonist of an almost surreal landscape, composed of a balance of history, art and nature. Mantua is a city to be visited with ample time, consideration and serenity. The city squares, passageways and cobblestone streets invite the visitor to slowly take in every one of its monuments and historic buildings in order to understand just why it has been declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site along with the neighboringneighbouring town of Sabbioneta. Mantua weaves history, art and culture together everywhere and it is surrounded by an unparalleled natural atmosphere. Unique and magical places that make Mantua simply wonderful. 2 View of the city Mantua at sunset 3 Sabbioneta MANTUA AND SABBIONETA: WORLD HERITAGE SITE July of 2008 is the month when Mantua and neighbouring Sabbioneta where introduced to the list of World Heritage Sites as a unique point of importance. Both cities enjoyed moments of great design importance during the renaissance. Designed and created by the same ruling family, the Gonzaga, two different but complimentary models were applied for each location. In fact, Sabbioneta is a newer city realized by Vespasiano Gonzaga in the second half of the sixteenth century as the ideal capital for his duchy; Mantua instead presents itself as a transformation of an existing city, which changed the ancient urban configuration.

  • The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period
    Anne Kleineberg The Capitolium at Brescia in the Flavian Period Abstract: The Capitolium at Brescia is one of the rare well-preserved examples of this temple type in Roman Italy. Large parts of its architecture, interior design and the forum area to which it was con- nected, can be reconstructed. This case study will provide a systematic analysis of the Capitolium, focusing on the aesthetic and semantic effects of its decorative elements, as well as their correla- tion and interaction in the creation of specific spatial qualities. Consequently, various aspects – such as the urban setting, architecture and layout, different features of the interior design and the framework of action, i. e., that of ritual performances – will be taken into account. Temples located in the forum helped to define the political and religious centre of Roman cities. At Brescia (Roman Brixia), located between Milan and Verona1, the Capitolium was rebuilt during the reign of the emperor Vespasian, a process that was completed in A.D. 72/732 (Figs. 1–3). Dis- tinctive features of the temple were its position on a high terrace on the southern slope of the Colle Cidneo and its transverse layout, which included three large cellae (dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva), two rooms of unknown function3 and lateral porticos. The elongated forum was situated directly to the south of the Capitolium area, enclosed by porticos at the sides and a basilica at the end of the square. The two areas were separated by a remarkable difference in height and by the elevated decumanus maximus, which crossed the city in an east-west direction.

The performance of two different fertigation techniques (drip irrigation and pivot) were assessed using the digestate liquid fraction. A two-year field test was carried out at two different sites in Lombardy, northern Italy. At each site, fertigation with pivot (P-F, site 1) or drip (D-F, site 2) systems was compared to reference fields where the same irrigation techniques without addition of digestate were used. During the two seasons, the performance of the fertigation systems, amount of fertilizers used, soil nitrogen content, yields, and nitrogen content of the harvested plants were monitored. The digestate application averaged 5 m3/ha per fertigation event with P-F and 4.9 m3/ha with D-F corresponding, respectively, to 28 and 23 kg N/ha.

  • The North-South Divide in Italy: Reality Or Perception?
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk EUROPEAN SPATIAL RESEARCH AND POLICY Volume 25 2018 Number 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/1231-1952.25.1.03 Dario MUSOLINO∗ THE NORTH-SOUTH DIVIDE IN ITALY: REALITY OR PERCEPTION? Abstract. Although the literature about the objective socio-economic characteristics of the Italian North- South divide is wide and exhaustive, the question of how it is perceived is much less investigated and studied. Moreover, the consistency between the reality and the perception of the North-South divide is completely unexplored. The paper presents and discusses some relevant analyses on this issue, using the findings of a research study on the stated locational preferences of entrepreneurs in Italy. Its ultimate aim, therefore, is to suggest a new approach to the analysis of the macro-regional development gaps. What emerges from these analyses is that the perception of the North-South divide is not consistent with its objective economic characteristics. One of these inconsistencies concerns the width of the ‘per- ception gap’, which is bigger than the ‘reality gap’. Another inconsistency concerns how entrepreneurs perceive in their mental maps regions and provinces in Northern and Southern Italy. The impression is that Italian entrepreneurs have a stereotyped, much too negative, image of Southern Italy, almost a ‘wall in the head’, as also can be observed in the German case (with respect to the East-West divide). Keywords: North-South divide, stated locational preferences, perception, image. 1. INTRODUCTION The North-South divide1 is probably the most known and most persistent charac- teristic of the Italian economic geography.

Floods of the rivers Adda and Serio formed an area of morasses and marshes, and it is from the Latin word for marsh, “palus” (in Ital- ian “palude”) that the name Paullo is derived. The existence of Lake Gerundo is men- tioned in chronicles and documents until year 1000. Later on, the work of land recla- mation performed throughout Milanese and Lodigiano drained the lake away. Today the remains of this lake can be seen in Mignete (see Routes 1, 4 and 9) hamlet of Zelo Buon Persico, where a vast grove of reeds and wetlands (the famous “Mortone”) can be observed from the morphological terrace near the cycling route towards Lodi, along the Provincial Street SP16.

  • Family Background, Education, Giulio Romano
    Chapter � Early Years: Family Background, Education, Giulio Romano 1.1 Family Background On the seventh of September of 1459, according to the contemporary chron- icler Andrea Schivenoglia, the Duke of ‘Clenij’ or ‘Clunii’—in fact Johann i, Duke of Cleves—arrived in Mantua representing Philip the Good, Duke of Bur- gundy, at the Mantuan Council presided over by Pope Pius ii. During his visit he was lodged in the house belonging to the massaro of Mantua, an important financial officer of this small but powerful North-Italian state.1 The Duke’s host, Vivaldo della Strata, belonged to a family whose common ancestor, Lorenzo, had in 1228 been called from Brescia to serve as podestà of Mantua. In this he followed a tradition of his family, many members of which fulfilled similar functions in Lombardy and Piedmont.2 Until their extinction in an outbreak 1 Vivaldo Strada was elected Councillor and massarius of the Comune of Mantua in 1445; he died in 1475, cf. Piccoli 1988, who quotes the Mantuan chronicle Andrea Schivenoglia: ‘E che venuto allora ambasciatore del duca di Borgogna il duca di Clunii, questo foe alogato in casa de Vivaldo Strada da drè la via de San Dominico andando verso San Christophora’; a similar passage is quoted by Carlo d’Arco in the entry on the Stradas in his manuscript Annotazioni genealogiche di famiglie mantovane che possono servire alla esatta compilazione della storia di queste (ASMn, Documenti patrii 220, vol. vii, pp. 65–75); but it cannot be found in D’Arco’s own edition of Schivenoglia (D’Arco 1857a, the relevant passage on p.
