P R E S S R E L E a S E Grimaldi Launches the New Palermo-Cagliari Ro-Pax GRIMALDI LAUNCHES THE NEW PALERMO-CAGLIARI RO-PAX CONNECTION The Neapolitan Group starts a massive campaign to boost its presence in Sardinia Naples, 6 January 2021: The Grimaldi Group kicks off 2021 with an expansion of its presence in Sardinia: starting from next 15 January the ro-pax vessel Venezia, which currently serves the three-times-a-week Salerno-Cagliari-Salerno connection, will also call at the port of Palermo. The new Palermo-Cagliari connection (and vice versa) will have a weekly frequency, with departure from Palermo on Saturdays at 19:30 hours and arrival in the Sardinian capital on Sundays morning at 09:00 hours. Departure from Cagliari is scheduled every Friday at 19:30 hours, with expected arrival in the Sicilian capital the following day at 09:00 hours. The Italian-flagged ferry Venezia, which will be deployed on the new route, has a service speed of up to 23 knots and a loading capacity of 2,250 linear meters, corresponding to about 130 trucks, plus 1,000 passengers and 200 cars. The vessel has 96 inside and oceanview cabins, all with air conditioning and en suite facilities, some equipped for passengers with reduced mobility and pets travelling in tow, as well as a comfortable lounge with reclining seats. Several services are offered on board, such as a self- service restaurant, cafeteria, video games and slot machine room, shops and play area for children. “With the launch of the Palermo-Cagliari ro-pax connection, we are starting a massive campaign to further boost our presence in Sardinia, an increasingly strategic market for our P R E GroupS S ”,R Edeclares L E A S E Emanuele Grimaldi, Managing Director of the Neapolitan company. "Sardinia is at the center of an extensive network of maritime connections that the Grimaldi Group has built in recent years in the Western Mediterranean, both for the transport of freight and passengers, guaranteeing territorial continuity not only with Continental Italy but also with neighbouring nations". The Grimaldi Group currently operates various maritime services to and from Sardinia: these include the historic Civitavecchia - Porto Torres - Barcelona connection and other regular lines dedicated to the transport of both freight and passengers, such as Livorno - Olbia and Civitavecchia - Olbia, as well as numerous freight only services linking Porto Torres with Genoa and Cagliari with Genoa, Livorno, Salerno and Valencia/Sagunto. The new connection between Cagliari and Palermo aims to satisfy the increasingly growing demand for transport between Italy’s major islands.

  • Trento Training School: the Rhetorical Roots of Argumentation
    TRENTO TRAINING SCHOOL: THE RHETORICAL ROOTS OF ARGUMENTATION. A LEGAL EXPERIENCE FACULTY OF LAW, UNIVERSITY OF TRENTO, ITALY 30 August – 4 September 2021 TRAINERS: Francesca Piazza: Full Professor of Philosophy and Theory of Language in the Department of Humanistic Sciences at the University of Palermo (Italy). She is also the President of the Society of Philosophy of Language and the Director of the Department of Humanistic Sciences at the University of Palermo. She has written several publications and books dealing with the importance of rhetoric in public policy argumentation. Abstract: Aristotle’s Rhetoric: a Theory of Persuasion Francesca Piazza (University of Palermo) The topic of my lectures will be Aristotle’s Rhetoric. Against a still persistent tendency to underestimate the philosophical value of this work (see Barnes, 1995, p. 263), I will argue that it is a stimulating place of theoretical reflection on the role of persuasion in human life. However, in order to fully exploit this theoretical value it is necessary to consider Aristotle’s Rhetoric as a unitary work inserted in the general framework of Aristotelian thought (see Grimaldi, 1972; Garver, 1986, Piazza 2008). Starting from the definition of rhetoric as the “ability to see, in any given case, the possible means of persuasion” (Arist. Rhet. 1355b26–7), I will focus on the idea of rhetoric as a techne and on the role it plays in the public sphere. In this way, I will highlight the originality of the Aristotelian perspective with respect to both the Sophists and Plato. Particular attention will be devoted to the concept of eikos (likelihood or probable) that can be considered one of the key notions of Aristotle’s Rhetoric.

The Straits of Gibraltar, the Lighthouse on Cape Spartel and Tangier during the War I9I4-I8. In spite of determined efforts, the Allies did not succeed during the war in effectively barring the Straits of Gibraltar ' z 9I ¢-I 8 since the considerable depth of the Straits rendered effective measures to close them against submarines impossible( I ) . The first German submarine Commander (U 21, Hersing) passed through ' the Straits on May 6th, 1915 to the great amazement of the Allies, who however considered it to be such an isolated case that they hardly strengthened the watch. After that German submarines frequently passed through the Straits which was passed by sub- marines in all up to Nov. I9I8, and these were stationed in the Adriatic. When at the close of October I 9 I 8 the Austrian fleet had to be handed over to the Jugoslav National Council these sub- marines had to make their way home. One had to be interned in Barcelona but of the remaining 1 ¢, 13 succeeded in slipping through the Straits on the night of 8-9th November 1918, and - - only one U 3¢ was sunk outside Ceuta. But the Allies suf- fered still a greater loss since one of the submarines passing through, U 50, sank the English 16.00o tons warship "Britannia" in the Straits on the morning of 9th November(2). Even if they did not succeed in closing the Straits to submarines, the Allies how- " ever completely controlled merchant shipping.

Private Collection, Courtesy Hauser & Wirth. Photo: Jens Ziehe All images © 2010 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn “Blinky Palermo” was the name assumed by Peter Heisterkamp shortly after he joined the class of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the early 1960s. While Heisterkamp’s decision to change his identity may have had multiple causes, his deep fascination with American culture, and with Beat literature and Abstract Expressionist painting in particular, played a key role in his adoption of this idiosyncratic moniker, derived from boxer Sonny Liston’s Mafi oso manager, whom Heisterkamp supposedly resembled. During his formative years at the Academy, Palermo consolidated his painterly aesthetic, stimulated in part by his charismatic and infl uential teacher and by several young painters then gaining critical recognition, most notably Gerhard Richter. Although eleven years older, Richter would in time become Palermo’s close personal friend as well as occasional artistic collaborator. Palermo remained steadfastly committed to painting during a period and in a context in which that art form was widely contested as a viable mode of contemporary art practice. Throughout his brief career, he retained his early fascination with the work of such revered predecessors as Kasimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman. He was nonetheless most directly challenged by those among his peers who were pushing the envelope of painting, questioning not only its conventional materials and traditional format and structure but its very identity.

S de Compostela, the most fabled city in the autonomous region of Galicia in north-west Spain, is the fulcrum of our imaginative trajectory from Palermo to Tunis, but paradoxically an end point for most late medieval travelers, the place where they turned around and went home again. The medieval pilgrimage route had as its goal the purported relics and tomb of the apostle St James the Elder, supposedly long forgotten in Spain where James had preached before his martyrdom in Palestine in . When an ancient crypt—aRoman-stylemauso- leum from the first centuries of Christianity—was discovered in the early ninth century, an increasing number of pious travellers made it their destination of choice.
