Simona Caselli EU agricultural product quality policy Agricultural products produced in the European Union (EU) reflect the rich diversity of different traditions and regions in Europe. To help protect and promote products with particular characteristics linked to their geographical origin as well as traditional products, the EU created quality logos, named “Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)”, “Protected Geographical Indication (PGI)”. A product name identified as a geographical indication is one that is closely linked to a specific production area. his concept encompasses protected designations of origin (PDOs) and protected geographical indications (PGIs) for foods and wines, while spirits and aromatised wines have geographical indications. The trade agreement between the European Union and Canada (CETA) provides protection for these 12 geographical indications. 1 Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PDO The product specification requires that the entire production process must be carried out within the territory of the Province of Modena, in the Emilia Romagna region.

  • Spintor-Fly®) to Control the Cherry Fruit Fly in Emilia-Romagna (North Italy) in 2010 and 2011 MG
    160 Reviewed Papers Field trials on adulticide bait (spintor-fly®) to control the cherry fruit fly in Emilia-Romagna (North Italy) in 2010 and 2011 MG. Tommasini1 and S. Caruso 2 Abstract In Emilia-Romagna Region (North Italy) trials to identify new strategies for the control of cherry fruit fly have been carried out. The aim was to find an alternative to the active substances commonly used until last years (e.g., dimethoate, phosmet) in Integrated Pest Management but at risk to be excluded from the market due to E.U. PPP revision, and to identify an effective way to control cherry fruit fly in organic farming. For this reasons field trials have been performed in 2010 and 2011 to evaluate the efficacy of a Spinosad-based bait adulticide (Spintor-Fly®) against Rhagoletis cerasi L. in cherry orchards. The results obtained were positive in both years. Spintor-Fly ® proved to be very effective to control the pest. An extension of its use in open field is awaited. However, its use on a large scale could be limited by its low persistence (it has to be applied at least weekly), poor rainfastness and phytotoxicity on the treated areas although widely tolerated. For these reasons new formulations of this experimental product developed to mitigate the negative aspects as mentioned above are awaited to be evaluated. Keywords: Rhagoletis cerasi, cherry fruit fly, control, Spintor-Fly. Introduction In the last years in Italy the control of cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi L.) has become more complex due to the low availability of pesticides. As it is known, following the revision of European products (reduction RMA), dimethoate is no longer usable and phosmet showed problems of phytotoxicity on different cultivars in different contexts (Caruso & Boselli, 2011).

  • 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.

    PARMA MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION www.upi.pr.it Parma and its enterprises October 2020 1 Preface Parma Manufacturers’ Association is pleased to offer this study whose purpose is to provide an up-to-date source of information for public and private institutions and organizations specifically interested in issues and questions related to industrial development in our province. More specifically, the aim of “Parma e le sue imprese” (Parma and its Enterprises) is to provide an overview of industrial activity in our province, focusing on the wide variety of manufacturing and service sectors and the specialized activity thereof. In fact, even if the core of Parma’s manufacturing tradition is to be found in the production and processing of agricultural products –Parma ham and parmesan cheese that have made it known around the world are good examples of this – there are many other sectors, some connected to this core activity and others not, which have contributed to make our productive capacity one of the most important in Italy today, fully capable of meeting the needs of our modern world and an increasingly globally-oriented future. Special thanks go to the Studies and Research Department for their tireless efforts in the preparation of this study.

  • Festiwal Chlebów Świata, 21-23. Marca 2014 Roku
    FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA, 21-23. MARCA 2014 ROKU Stowarzyszenie Polskich Mediów, Warszawska Izba Turystyki wraz z Zespołem Szkół nr 11 im. Władysława Grabskiego w Warszawie realizuje projekt FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA 21 - 23 marca 2014 r. Celem tej inicjatywy jest promocja chleba, pokazania jego powszechności, ale i równocześnie różnorodności. Zaplanowaliśmy, że będzie się ona składała się z dwóch segmentów: pierwszy to prezentacja wypieków pieczywa według receptur kultywowanych w różnych częściach świata, drugi to ekspozycja producentów pieczywa oraz związanych z piekarnictwem produktów. Do udziału w żywej prezentacji chlebów świata zaprosiliśmy: Casa Artusi (Dom Ojca Kuchni Włoskiej) z prezentacją piady, producenci pity, macy oraz opłatka wigilijnego, Muzeum Żywego Piernika w Toruniu, Muzeum Rolnictwa w Ciechanowcu z wypiekiem chleba na zakwasie, przedstawiciele ambasad ze wszystkich kontynentów z pokazem własnej tradycji wypieku chleba. Dodatkowym atutem będzie prezentacja chleba astronautów wraz osobistym świadectwem Polskiego Kosmonauty Mirosława Hermaszewskiego. Nie zabraknie też pokazu rodzajów ziarna oraz mąki. Realizacją projektu będzie bezprecedensowa ekspozycja chlebów świata, pozwalająca poznać nie tylko dzieje chleba, ale też wszelkie jego odmiany występujące w różnych regionach świata. Taka prezentacja to podkreślenie uniwersalnego charakteru chleba jako pożywienia, który w znanej czy nieznanej nam dotychczas innej formie można znaleźć w każdym zakątku kuli ziemskiej zamieszkałym przez ludzi. Odkąd istnieje pismo, wzmiankowano na temat chleba, toteż, dodatkowo, jego kultowa i kulturowo – symboliczna wartość jest nie do przecenienia. Inauguracja FESTIWALU CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA planowana jest w piątek, w dniu 21 marca 2014 roku, pierwszym dniu wiosny a potrwa ona do niedzieli tj. do 23.03. 2014 r.. Uczniowie wówczas szukają pomysłów na nieodbywanie typowych zajęć lekcyjnych. My proponujemy bardzo celowe „vagari”- zapraszając uczniów wszystkich typów i poziomów szkoły z opiekunami do spotkania się na Festiwalu.

Evidence from Two Peripheral Northern Italian Dialects Simone De Cia1 and Jessica Iubini-Hampton2 1 University of Manchester, GB 2 University of Liverpool, GB Corresponding author: Jessica Iubini-Hampton ([email protected]) tp://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.358. This paper explores two peripheral Northern Italian dialects (NIDs), namely Lamonat and Frignanese, with respect to their genealogical linguistic classification. The two NIDs exhibit morpho-phonological and morpho-syntactic features that do not fall neatly into the Gallo-Italic sub-classification of Northern Italo-Romance, but resemble some of the core characteristics of the putative Rhaeto-Romance language family. This analysis of Lamonat and Frignanese reveals that their con- servative traits more closely relate to Rhaeto-Romance. The synchronic evidence from the two peripheral NIDs hence supports the argument against the unity and autonomy of Rhaeto-Romance as a language family, whereby the linguistic traits that distinguish Rhaeto-Romance within Northern Italo-Romance consist A corrigendum relating to this article has been published at ht of shared retentions rather than shared innovations, which were once common to virtually all NIDs. In this light, Rhaeto-Romance can be regarded as an array of conservative Gallo-Italic varieties.

  • Emilia-Romagna's Food Crowned Italy's Best
    Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Natasha Lardera (March 07, 2015) “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano-Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. “Italy’s Greatest Gastronomic Treasure, Emilia Romagna.” [2] This is the title’s of David Rosengarten’s latest article published on Forbes, an extensive piece that goes beyond Parmigiano- Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Mortadella, tortellini and balsamic vinegar. The long reportage starts with a cute cliché, that “If you ask an Italian where the best food is in Italy, you almost always get the same answer. “Eh,” they like to say. “At my mother’s house!”… looking like “how could you be so stupid to not know that?” Yet, apparently if you ask around and push for a regional answer everybody agrees on Emilia-Romagna, “the wondrous north-central region that lies in the fertile Po River Valley.” What Rosengarten proceeds to explain is that for Italians this is not an uncommon answer, Emilia- Romagna is known to be a major player for its rich and savory cuisine but in the US its cuisine is not that popular. Americans, for example, tend to be big aficionados of Tuscan cuisine and the reported even gives a funny example: “Once, in New York, a great restaurateur opened a place called Page 1 of 3 Emilia-Romagna’s Food Crowned Italy’s Best Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Amarcord, a reference to Fellini, who was one of Emilia-Romagna’s greatest sons.
