Hence the need to design a database of the Italian alimurgic flora: AlimurgITA. Only strictly alimurgic taxa were chosen, excluding casual alien and cultivated ones. The collected data come from an archive of 358 texts (books and scientific articles) from 1918 to date, chosen with appropriate criteria. For each taxon, the part of the plant used, the method of use, the chorotype, the biological form and the regional distribution in Italy were considered. The 1103 taxa of edible flora already entered in the database equal 13.09% of Italian flora. The most widespread family is that of the Asteraceae (20.22%); the most widely used taxa are Cichorium intybus and Borago officinalis. The not homogeneous regional distribution of WEPs (maximum in the south and minimum in the north) has been interpreted. Texts published reached its peak during the 2001–2010 decade. A database for Italian WEPs is important to have a synthesis and to represent the richness and Citation: Paura, B.; Di Marzio, P.; complexity of this knowledge, also in light of its potential for cultural enhancement, as well as its Salerno, G.; Brugiapaglia, E.; Bufano, applications for the agri-food system.

  • Twenty-Four Days in a Village in Southern Italy
    Twenty-four Days in a Village in Southern Italy Twenty-four Days in a Village in Southern Italy Ian D’Emilia There were two girls named Giusy. The second was a pretty blonde-haired girl that I met at the pool one afternoon and then never saw again. The first was my cousin she would tell me almost every time I saw her. It was a small town and not many people spoke English. She was visiting for two weeks. I was here with my grandfather for twenty-four days. She lived in Munich. I lived in New Jersey. Apparently we were distant cousins. The first time we met was actually at the Jersey Shore but that was years ago. I remember we rode a tandem bicycle across the boardwalk but I hadn’t known that she was my cousin then. The first night we met in Colle Sannita I told Giusy about this. We were drinking beer out in front of Bar Centrale and I told her that I remembered her from the tandem bicycle at the Jersey Shore. She laughed. She had a crown of red hair sitting atop her head and she had brown eyes. She spoke English with an accent that wasn’t quite German and wasn’t quite Italian. We had drinks together. She ordered a Prosecco with Aperol. I ordered one too. Matter of fact she ordered it for me. We smoked cigarettes together with our other cousins and friends. Later that night she told me that she was glad to see me again because we were cousins.

  • Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction Through Citizenship Law
    L’Altro in Italia: Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction through Citizenship Law Ariel Gizzi An Honors Thesis for the Department of International Relations Tufts University, 2018 ii Acknowledgements Over the course of this thesis, I received academic and personal support from various professors and scholars, including but not limited to: Cristina Pausini, Kristina Aikens, Anne Moore, Consuelo Cruz, Medhin Paolos, Lorgia García Peña, David Art, Richard Eichenberg, and Lisa Lowe. I also want to mention the friends and fellow thesis writers with whom I passed many hours in the library: Joseph Tsuboi, Henry Jani, Jack Ronan, Ian James, Francesca Kamio, and Tashi Wangchuk. Most importantly, this thesis could not have happened without the wisdom and encouragement of Deirdre Judge. Deirdre and I met in October of my senior year, when I was struggling to make sense of what I was even trying to write about. With her guidance, I set deadlines for myself, studied critical theory, and made substantial revisions to each draft I produced. She is truly a remarkable scholar and mentor who I know will accomplish great things in her life. And lastly, thank you to my parents, who have always supported me in every academic and personal endeavor, most of which are related in some way or another to Italy.

  • 2Nd Mediterranean Migration Mosaic: Italy at the Crossroads Spring 2016 Full Course Semester Profs. Marcelo Borges, Nicoletta Marini-Maio, and Susan Rose
    2nd Mediterranean Migration Mosaic: Italy at the Crossroads Spring 2016 Full course semester Profs. Marcelo Borges, Nicoletta Marini-Maio, and Susan Rose Background: The Mediterranean has witnessed the circulation of ideas, people, and goods between Northern Africa and Southern Europe across the centuries. Both during times of conflict and cooperation, colonization, religious expansion, and human migrations have shaped the lives of individuals and the history of cultures. Current migrations and conditions associated with globalization date back centuries – Italy once a sending country has now increasingly become a receiving country. The 2nd Mediterranean Mosaic will focus on migrations to and from Italy, with an emphasis on recent (im)migrations to Italy from Africa. It will explore the multiple and interacting identities embodied by individuals, communities, regions, and the nation-state. We will examine the creation of transnational communities, ethnic and religious tensions and cooperation, philosophical orientations to diversity, and social policy at the national and EU level. Sustainability, broadly conceived, will be another important component. We will explore cultural sustainability (the ways in which migrant and immigrant communities maintain their dynamic culture even as they adapt to their new transnational reality); and economic and environmental sustainability (how the state, employers, and workers negotiate economic and environmental costs and benefits related to productivity, labor, and health of humans and the environment). Multi-lingual research teams will explore these dynamic interactions, with a focus on labor and family migrations. Through oral histories, ethnographic, and survey research we will begin to trace migration patterns; the contexts and conditions of both sending and receiving communities; the journeys and life experiences of (im)migrants; and community building and reception.

Two different cultural adaptation strategies in the domestic use of home country food plant and herbal ingredients among Albanian and Moroccan migrants in Northwestern Italy Michele Fontefrancesco1, Charles Barstow1,2, Francesca Grazioli1,3, Hillary Lyons1, Giulia Mattalia1,4, Mattia Marino1, Anne E. McKay1, Renata Sõukand4, Paolo Corvo1 and Andrea Pieroni1* Abstract Background: Ethnobotanical field studies concerning migrant groups are crucial for understanding temporal changes of folk plant knowledge as well as for analyzing adaptation processes. Italy still lacks in-depth studies on migrant food habits that also evaluate the ingredients which newcomers use in their domestic culinary and herbal practices. Methods: Semi-structured and open in-depth interviews were conducted with 104 first- and second-generation migrants belonging to the Albanian and Moroccan communities living in Turin and Bra, NW Italy. The sample included both ethnic groups and genders equally. Results: While the number of plant ingredients was similar in thetwocommunities(44plantitems among Albanians vs 47 plant items among Moroccans), data diverged remarkably on three trajectories: (a) frequency of quotation (a large majority of the ingredients were frequently or moderately mentioned by Moroccan migrants whereas Albanians rarely mentioned them as still in use in Italy); (b) ways through which the home country plant ingredients were acquired (while most of the ingredients were purchased by Moroccans in local markets and shops, ingredients used by Albanians were for the most part informally “imported” during family visits from Albania); (c) quantitative and qualitative differences in the plant reports mentioned by the two communities, with plant reports recorded in the domestic arena of Moroccans nearly doubling the reports recorded among Albanians and most of the plant ingredients mentioned by Moroccans representing “medicinal foods”.

Various Countries Response to Fight COVID-19 Kushal Mohta 11th Grade IB Dhirubhai Ambani International School Abstract—As rightly said by Travis Kalanick, CEO of Uber, “Every problem has a solution. You just have to be creative enough to find it.” COVID-19 is none other than a problem for the world, to which a lot of countries been ingenious enough to find a solution to, yet a lot others continue struggling to cope with this highly contagious virus. This paper attempts to traverse through and analyse the path taken by several different countries, and reach a conclusion about what countries should do to suppress a future virus from becoming a pandemic. It is imperative to highlight both the successes and failures of multiple countries in order to learn from the mistakes of the countries who failed, but at the same time try to emulate what the successful countries did. This research paper used only secondary data as based on the current circumstances, and the vastness of the problem being explored getting primary data was not feasible. Some of the countries who were successful in mitigating this coronavirus early on were New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Countries which were devastated by the virus, and still might be include USA, Brazil, Italy, Spain, UK, India, Russia, and India.

    HIST 215/SOC 230 Borges and Rose Italy and Global Migrations This class studies Italy’s recent history of immigration in the context of Italy’s place in the global migrations of the last century. It looks at Italy’s history as a country of emigration and its legacy; the changes from emigration to immigration; the reception of immigrants in diverse settings; the cultural, political, and legal debates; the diversity of immigrant experiences and trajectories; the contested meaning of citizenship; and the historical construction of the idea of borders and border-crossing in Italy, Europe, and the larger Mediterranean space in historical perspective. HIST 215/SOCI 240 or 340 Qualitative Research Methods will introduce students to ethnographic research methods, interviewing, oral history, mapping, demographic, and archival research. Students will be actively engaged in all phases of the research process from research design to data collection, analysis, and presentation. Fulfills qualitative research methods requirement in anthropology and sociology. ITAL/FILM Migration Anxieties and the Cinema of Italy Marini-Maio In the late 19th century and part of the 20th century, Italy was a nation of emigration to the Americas and Northern Europe and of internal immigration from the rural South to the industrial North. Since the 1990s, because of geopolitical and economic circumstances, Italy has increasingly become a destination country for thousands of immigrants from around the world, in particular from the former Communist bloc and the global south. This massive phenomenon transformed the demographics of Italy and mainstream media coverage of it triggered anxieties across the nation with regard to geopolitical borders, socioeconomic changes, cultural and gendered identities, racialized bodies, and ideas of otherness.

  • Genetic History of Calabrian Greeks Reveals Ancient Events and Long
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genetic history of Calabrian Greeks reveals ancient events and long term isolation in the Aspromonte area of Southern Italy Stefania Sarno1,8*, Rosalba Petrilli1,8, Paolo Abondio1,8, Andrea De Giovanni1,2, Alessio Boattini1, Marco Sazzini1,3, Sara De Fanti1,3, Elisabetta Cilli2, Graziella Ciani1, Davide Gentilini4,5, Davide Pettener1, Giovanni Romeo6,7, Cristina Giuliani1,3,9 & Donata Luiselli2,9* Calabrian Greeks are an enigmatic population that have preserved and evolved a unique variety of language, Greco, survived in the isolated Aspromonte mountain area of Southern Italy. To understand their genetic ancestry and explore possible efects of geographic and cultural isolation, we genome- wide genotyped a large set of South Italian samples including both communities that still speak Greco nowadays and those that lost the use of this language earlier in time. Comparisons with modern and ancient populations highlighted ancient, long-lasting genetic links with Eastern Mediterranean and Caucasian/Near-Eastern groups as ancestral sources of Southern Italians. Our results suggest that the Aspromonte communities might be interpreted as genetically drifted remnants that departed from such ancient genetic background as a consequence of long-term isolation. Specifc patterns of population structuring and higher levels of genetic drift were indeed observed in these populations, refecting geographic isolation amplifed by cultural diferences in the groups that still conserve the Greco language. Isolation and drift also afected the current genetic diferentiation at specifc gene pathways, prompting for future genome-wide association studies aimed at exploring trait-related loci that have drifted up in frequency in these isolated groups.

To be R42 revealing, however, a measure of accessibility must not only consider the distance or travel time of a single O18 mode, but should include the fares, the frequency and the interchanges of all available modes.

The measure used in the Potential accessibility paper is potential accessibility, with an exponential decay impedance function. Different from similar studies, Rail this one gives a more in-depth definition of impedance parameters due to the availability of a transport model Air that includes the entire Italian long-distance supply (roads, coaches, long-distance rail services, air services, and Coach ferries).

J. INT’L & COMP. L. [Vol. 41:507 I. INTRODUCTION In two recent cases, the United States Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) were asked to determine whether religious symbols (specifically crosses and crucifixes) could be placed on public property.1 This was not a simple task however, as the crosses at issue in the case served both religious and secular purposes. In addition to being crosses, they were also war memorials and symbols of a nation’s heritage.2 Therefore, the courts were forced to address a question of which interpretation of the symbols to use, the secular one or the religious one. Supporters of the symbols argued that they were memorials erected in memory of fallen soldiers and national symbols.3 Opponents contended that the crosses were religious symbols and, as such, did not have a place in a secular world.
