Molecular Biology THE UNIVERSITY OF PERUGIA GENERAL DESCRIPTION Perugia is a hill-town situated in the centre of Italy, in a valley between Florence and Rome. Its University was founded in 1308 by a Papal “Bulla” of Pope Clemente V. The "Studium Generale" was very famous in the XIVth century. It was in fact considered one of the most important Schools in Italy. Before the Clementine “Bulla” the Grand Council of Perugia's municipality, with the 1275 and 1276 deliberations, invited the students to come to Perugia to listen to the "reading of the laws", grammar, logic and other arts. The prestige of the "Studium" in the XIV century is connected above all with the following important personages: Cino da Pistoia, Bartolo da Sassoferrato and Baldo degli Ubaldi in Juridical Studies, Gentile da Foligno, Bartolomeo da Varignana and Tommaso del Garbo in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. The Law School was founded in Perugia by Bartolo and Baldo and continued in the XV and XVI centuries. During this time studies in Medicine were neglected: a document dated 1366 illustrates how direct observation on the cadaver was practised at that time. This tradition of anatomical studies was revived in the XVIII Century by Alessandro Pascoli. Worthy of note, as regards the teaching of Sciences, is that friar Luca Pacioli was a teacher of mathematics in the XV century and in the XVII Giuseppe Neri was a friend of Galileo. In the humanist sector, the Institution of the chairs in Greek and Hebrew should be remembered. During the second half of the XVIII Century there were a lot of political and social disorders that gave rise to enormous changes in thought and culture. Between 1799 and 1814, during the period of republican regime, the University of Perugia underwent many reforms. After the Napoleonic events, the "Consulta Straordinaria" of the Roman States introduced the system of studies practised in France, in Perugia. The "Consulta" plan organised the University into five Faculties with a Rector at the head instead of a Bishop and the Faculty Council was on the lines of the French model which, with many changes, still exists today. In 1814 Papal rule was re-established and reinforced by the 1824 “Bulla” of Pope Leone XII. With the reunification of Italy, in 1860, the General Commissary for Umbria, Gioacchino Pepoli, reorganised Perugia University. The University was declared a free University, administered by the Municipality and the Rectors who could formulate the statutes, with the approval of the Government. In 1925, the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery was completed. In 1927 the Faculty of Political Science was founded. Between 1935 and 1936, with the reunification of higher studies, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was reinstated and the Agricultural Faculty expanded by the aggregation of the Royal Institute for Agriculture which had been founded in Perugia in 1896. In the period following World War II Perugia University has developed greatly and at present there are the eleven Faculties which follow: LAW, POLITICAL SCIENCES, ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS STUDIES, LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY, ARTS, MEDICINE AND SURGERY, NATURAL, PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, PHARMACY, AGRICULTURE, VETERINARY MEDICINE, ENGINEERING. Many Faculties also included many degree of first level, PhD courses and Specialization Schools. There are also many inter-facultate courses in different disciplines including the International Degree course “Job Creation Oriented Biotechnology”. HEALTH AND INSURANCE By law, Italian students are covered by a compulsory health insurance scheme administered by the regional health services. Guest students from EC countries, being included under their national health insurance scheme, are entitled to receive in Italy the health services of the A.S.L (Azienda Sanitaria Locale) by exhibiting the form issued by their Local Health Authority. Foreign students having scholarships from the Italian Government are given life, accident, and health insurance coverage for the duration of their stay in Italy. Moreover, all duly registered students, in particular ERASMUS and ECTS students, are insured against accidents which could happen at the University during experiments or practical activities indicated in the planned curriculum and carried out under the super-vision of professors, lecturers or assistants.

  • Poetry Without End: Reiterating Desire in Petrarch's Rvf 70 and 23
    Poetry Without End: Reiterating Desire in Petrarch’s Rvf 70 and 23 Manuele Gragnolati and Francesca Southerden Our article focuses on two canzoni from Petrarch’s Rerum vulgarium fragmenta or Canzoniere, Rvf 23, “Nel dolce tempo de la prima etade,” and Rvf 70, “Lasso me, ch’io non so in qual parte pieghi.”1 By reading them comparatively, we aim to set up a dialogue between the concepts of return and conversion and to explore the relationship between the form of the texts and the subjectivity it shapes. In particular, we are interested in investigating how Petrarch blurs the distinction between beginnings and ends and how, defying conclusion, his lyric poetry gives form to a sort of masochistic pleasure. Rvf 70 is an intertextual canzone (and part-cento) that culminates in an explicit textual return of the poet’s own poem 23, the so-called canzone delle metamorfosi, in which the poetic subject undergoes a series of transformations explicitly modelled on Ovid. The incipit of canzone 23, “Nel dolce tempo de la prima etade,” forms the final line of canzone 70 and is the last in a series of quotations of the incipits of earlier poems, each of which closes one of the stanzas of Petrarch’s poem and reconstructs what Franco Suitner has termed “il retroterra della lirica romanza” [“the hinterland of romance lyric”].2 All the incipits closing the five stanzas relate to a concept of love as essentially tyrannical, obsessive, and compulsive. The first stanza ends with the incipit of the Occitan poem now thought to be by Guillem de Saint Gregori, “Drez et rayson es qu’ieu ciant e· m demori,” which Petrarch attributed to Arnaut Daniel and which embodies a paradoxical form of desire that involves subjecting oneself to love even to the point of death, and finding pleasure in it.3 The other incipits belong to the Italian lyric tradition.

  • Lyric Poetry, the Tenzone, and Cino Da Pistoia
    CHRISTOPHER KLEINHENZ 3 Adventures in Textuality: Lyric Poetry, the Tenzone, and Cino da Pistoia The tradition of lyric poetry in thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century Italy is vast and varied, and the poets who contributed to this great production of literary texts are many and represent a number of regions on the peninsula. In his treatise on language and prosody, De vulgari eloquentia, Dante demonstrates his awareness of this great patchwork quilt of languages/dialects that constitutes medieval Italy, while simultaneously acknowledging the wide range of poets and styles that characterize the lyric tradition. In this case, as in many others, we know Dante's perspectives on a great many issues, and these, in the absence of other evidence, we gratefully accept, and these opinions have often been raised to canonical status ... rightly or wrongly. To be sure, many of our judgments on early Italian poets are shaped by the views of the Florentine poet, for so powerful is the cult of Dante that few can escape his pervasive influence. Despite the understanding and insights that we have gleaned from Dante's texts, there are lots of things we do not know about the early Italian poets and about the transmission of lyric texts in the Duecento and early Trecento. About the only thing we know for sure is that much, or most of what survives of the early lyric tradition - and here I refer to the work of those poets who were active at the imperial court of Frederick II and those who were active in Tuscany in the second half of the thirteenth century

DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI published in 1861 his book The Early Italian Poets, which is the first form of the present book named Dante and his Circle. Ever since its first publication this series of translations has occupied, I think, a somewhat peculiar position ; partly as being the only form in which a large portion of the poems here treated are available for English readers; and partly because the Italian compositions have so special a character of their own, and the translator has entered so keenly into their spirit, and has reinforced this with so manifest a ^ poetic tone and savour proper to himself, that the ^fc versions have taken rank as a sort of cross between Hptranslated and original work. They have been accepted ^F as bringing the English reader as close to the mediaeval ^^ Italians as he is ever likely to be brought ; and also as ^introducing him to the tone and quality of Rossetti's own mind and hand in poetic production.

  • 1 the Italian Angevins: Naples and Beyond, 1266–1343 Introduction
    1 The Italian Angevins: Naples and Beyond, 1266–1343 Introduction Jane Gilbert, Catherine Keen, and Ella Williams University College London Both as a family and a cultural institution, the Italian Angevins are intimately connected to the history of Naples. Seminal publications encompassing artistic, architectural, and cultural history have demonstrated the ways in which the dynasty developed the city as a stage for royal patronage and, in turn, positioned itself as the ultimate emblem of Neapolitanism.1 While upholding the city’s central role in the development and promotion of Angevin interests, recent studies have turned to the ways in which the Angevin dynasty looked beyond Naples in pursuit of its ambitions and cultural interests abroad, and to the role of the city itself, as an international port, in facilitating intercultural encounters and transfers.2 1 Important works include: Ferdinando Bologna, I Pittori alla corte angioina di Napoli, 1266– 1414, e un riesame dell’arte nell’eta federiciana, (Rome: Ugo Bozzi, 1969); Francesco Sabatini, Napoli angioina: cultura e società (Naples: Edizioni scientifiche italiane, 1975); P. L. de Castris, Arte di corte nella Napoli angioina (Florence: Cantini, 1986). For an ample bibliography, with important recent contributions to the field, see Boccaccio angioino: Materiali per la storia culturale di Napoli nel Trecento, ed. by Giancarlo Alfano, Teresa D’Urso, and Alessandra Perriccioli Saggese (Brussels: Peter Lang, 2012). More recent studies have further emphasized the importance of the city for the family’s political, cultural, and administrative programmes: for example, Caroline Bruzelius, The Stones of Naples: Church Building in Angevin Italy, 1266–1343 (Yale: Yale University Press, 2004).

Exile and Petrarch’s Reinvention of Authorship LAURENCE E. HOOPER, Dartmouth College This article demonstrates a systematic connection between the novelty of Petrarch’s authorship and his self-definition as an exile. Petrarch employs the unusual term exilium/esilio to substantiate his unprecedented claim that literature is a legally valid officium (civic role). Following Dante, Petrarch grounds his exilic authorship in the Christian discourse of peregrinatio: life as pilgrimage through exile. But Petrarch’s new officium allows him a measure of control over literary creation that no prior Italian writer had enjoyed. This is especially true of the “Canzoniere,” Petrarch’s compilation of his vernacular lyrics, whose singularity functions as a proxy for its author’s selfhood. INTRODUCTION PETRARCH (1304–74) IDENTIFIED all his life as an exile: the opening letter of his Familiares (1366) declares, “I was conceived in exile and I was born in exile.”1 The claim has a biographical foundation: the poet was born at Arezzo, some two years after his father, Ser Petracco di Parenzo (1267–1326), had been banished from Florence.

    Vulgaris: Analysis of a Corpus for Middle-Age Varieties of Italian Language Andrea Zugarini1;2 and Matteo Tiezzi2 and Marco Maggini2 1DINFO, University of Florence 2DIISM, University of Siena [email protected], fmtiezzi,[email protected] Abstract Italian is a Romance language that has its roots in Vulgar Latin. The birth of the modern Italian started in Tuscany around the 14th century, and it is mainly attributed to the works of Dante Alighieri, Francesco Petrarca and Giovanni Boccaccio, who are among the most acclaimed au- thors of the medieval age in Tuscany. However, Italy has been characterized by a high variety of dialects, which are often loosely related to each other, due to the past fragmentation of the terri- tory. Italian has absorbed influences from many of these dialects, as also from other languages due to dominion of portions of the country by other nations, such as Spain and France. In this work we present Vulgaris, a project aimed at studying a corpus of Italian textual resources from authors of different regions, ranging in a time period between 1200 and 1600. Each composition is associated to its author, and authors are also grouped in families, i.e. sharing similar stylis- tic/chronological characteristics. Hence, the dataset is not only a valuable resource for studying the diachronic evolution of Italian and the differences between its dialects, but it is also useful to investigate stylistic aspects between single authors. We provide a detailed statistical analysis of the data, and a corpus-driven study in dialectology and diachronic varieties. 1 Introduction Understanding the evolution of a language is a challenging problem.
