  • Guerilla Warfare a Sicilian Bandit
    RIGHT An American Marine medic administers plasma to a wounded soldier behind the front line in the streets of San Agata, during the Allied invasion of Sicily. Guerilla Warfare With a small but extremely tough volunteer army, the movement for independence in Sicily—which represented a variation on the old and unattainable Mafi a dream of becoming a state—began its armed struggle in the autumn of 1944, partly as a reaction to the continual and arbitrary attacks carried out by the police forces against its offi ces and supporters. Their attempt to bring about a separatist insurrection gave rise to vehement resistance, leading to guerilla warfare. The Italian government was forced to send the army to Sicily to support the police and Carabinieri and to put down the revolt. On June 17, 1945, the commander and founder of the separatist army, Antonio Canepa, was killed in a gunfi ght with the Carabinieri. His death pro- voked many well-founded suspicions that the Mafi a was directly responsible. Given their antipathy to words such as “socialism” and “revolution,” they were no doubt keen to rid themselves of such a subversive combatant. A Sicilian Bandit Concetto Gallo became the new head of the separatist army and then entered into an alliance with the bandits hoping to achieve victory for the revolt. He proposed that the most famous and wanted bandit in all of Sicily, Salvatore Giuliano, should join the volunteer army for the movement for Sicilian independence. Giuliano accepted, and he and his band carried out a series of attacks on the police and Carabinieri as well as on the troops sent by Rome to halt the progress of the rebel- lion.

  • ORGANIZED CRIME: Sect
    ORGANIZED CRIME: Sect. 302 SOCIOLOGY AND HISTORY OF ITALIAN MAFIA SOC 260 Fs January Term 2016 Dr. Sandra Cavallucci NOTE on section: once enrolled, students are required to regularly attend the section of the course that they are enrolled in. Switching sections during the course is not allowed. Credit Hours: 3 Contact Hours: 45 Additional Costs: Approx 20 Euro (details in point #10) Teacher contact: available to see students before and after class: [email protected] 1 - DESCRIPTION One of a long list of Italian words adopted in many other languages, “mafia” is now applied to a variety of criminal organizations around the world. This course examines organized crime in Italy in historical, social and cultural perspective, tracing its growth from the nineteenth century to the present. The chief focus is on the Sicilian mafia as the original and primary form. Similar organizations in other Italian regions, as well as the mafia in the United States, an outgrowth of Sicilian mafia, are also considered. The course analyzes sociological aspects of the mafia including language, message systems, the “code of silence,” the role of violence, structures of power, and social relationships. Also examined are the economics of organized crime and its impact on Italian society and politics. 2 - OBJECTIVES, GOALS and OUTCOMES The objective of this course is to give students an accurate and in-depth understanding of the Italian (Sicilian) mafia. Most foreigners tend to look at the mafia through stereotypes, after forming their impressions of the mafia through popular movies but few go beyond these cinematic images to learn the truth about this criminal phenomenon: the course aims to give the student a completely different picture of the mafia.

  • Riflessioni Sull™Enigmatica Strage Di Portella Delle
    www.laltrasicilia.org RIFLESSIONI SULL’ENIGMATICA STRAGE DI PORTELLA DELLE GINESTRE Dott. Salvatore Riggio Scaduto Nel giugno del 1987 a Montelepre veniva pubblicato dalla casa editrice “La Rivalsa” un corposo libro di 342 pagine, avente inoltre un’appendice fotografica e documentale, intitolato “MIO FRATELLO SALVATORE GIULIANO” degli autori Marianna Giuliano e Giuseppe Sciortino Giuliano, rispettivamente sorella e nipote di Salvatore Giuliano. Dall’introduzione firmata solo dal secondo autore, figlio di Marianna Giuliano, apprendiamo, però, che il libro è stato scritto soltanto da questo, tanto è vero che a pag. 8 si legge che “Il merito maggiore va a mia madre....La sorella di Turiddu, che con lui condivise gli ideali e che lo affiancò nella lotta sia armata che politica. Senza di lei... Forse non sarei mai riuscito nel mio compito”. Il detto libro ha chiaramente e certamente finalità apologetiche e giustificative del personaggio che per circa sette anni tenne a scacco nell’immediato dopoguerra le forze dello Stato Italiano, ma è altrettanto certo che la sorella di Turiddu Giuliano, Marianna, coniugata con Pasquale Sciortino, fu la confidente prediletta del fratello e quindi la depositaria di tantissimi segreti. Uno storico attento e scrupoloso non può liquidare sic et simpliciter i fatti riportati nel detto libro come non veritieri perché di parte, ma deve saper sottoporre a vaglio critico tali fatti con le risultanze di altre fonti. Volendo anch’io strizzare qualche gocciolina della mia penna nel fiume impetuoso d’inchiostro versato sull’oscura strage di Portella delle Ginestre del 1° Maggio 1947, mi cimenterò con il presente scritto a fare alcune considerazioni tenendo anche presente “la verità” ammanitaci in proposito del detto libro da pag.

    G. Venturella, A. Saitta, M. Sarasini, A. Montecchi & L. Gori Contribution to the knowledge of hypogeous fungi from Sicily (S-Italy) Abstract Venturella, G., Saitta, A., Sarasini, M., Montecchi, A., & Gori, L.: Contribution to the knowledge of hypogeous fungi from Sicily (S-Italy). — Fl. Medit. 14: 275-284. 2004. — ISSN 1120-4052. Distributive and ecological data on thirty-five hypogeous and semi-hypogeous fungi from Sicily (southern Italy) are reported here. Nineteen taxa are new for the Sicilian mycobiota. The presence of Radiigera atrogleba and Setchelliogaster tenuipes var. rheophyllus is note- worthy. Introduction Distributive and ecological data on hypogeous fungi are usually very limited in myco- logical studies. In fact, the possibility to detect the presence of such fungi is strictly linked to the availability of trained dogs. Besides only a low number of semi-hypogeous fungi could be easily found by moving the superficial layer of litter. The first data on hypogeous fungi from Sicily (southern Italy) were reported by Taranto & Gerbino (1845) and Inzenga (1865-1869). They pointed out the presence of Tuber aestivum Vittad. in some territories of eastern Sicily and in mould of vases containing oaks in it cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Palermo. Besides, Inzenga also reported Melanogaster ambiguus (Vittad.) Tul. & C. Tul. (sub: M. ambiguus Tul.) and Terfezia arenaria (Moris) Trappe (sub: T. leonis Tul.) from the Sicilian territory. Afterwards, Scalia (1900) reported some findings of T. arenaria, T. boudieri Chatin and Tuber lacunosum Mattirolo from eastern Sicily and the Etna volcano, too. At the beginning of the 20th century, Pasquale Baccarini and Ugolino Martelli, working at that time in Sicily, sent many specimens of hypogeous fungi to Oreste Mattirolo, Professor at the University of Turin (northern Italy).

  • Attitudes Towards the Safeguarding of Minority Languages and Dialects in Modern Italy
    ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE SAFEGUARDING OF MINORITY LANGUAGES AND DIALECTS IN MODERN ITALY: The Cases of Sardinia and Sicily Maria Chiara La Sala Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Italian September 2004 This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to assess attitudes of speakers towards their local or regional variety. Research in the field of sociolinguistics has shown that factors such as gender, age, place of residence, and social status affect linguistic behaviour and perception of local and regional varieties. This thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part the concept of language, minority language, and dialect is discussed; in the second part the official position towards local or regional varieties in Europe and in Italy is considered; in the third part attitudes of speakers towards actions aimed at safeguarding their local or regional varieties are analyzed. The conclusion offers a comparison of the results of the surveys and a discussion on how things may develop in the future. This thesis is carried out within the framework of the discipline of sociolinguistics. ii DEDICATION Ai miei figli Youcef e Amil che mi hanno distolto

  • Historical and Recent Data of Sicilian Traps: the Complexity of Data Recovery and Interpretation
    SCRS/2017/043 Collect. Vol. Sci. Pap. ICCAT, 74(6): 2873-2886 (2018) HISTORICAL AND RECENT DATA OF SICILIAN TRAPS: THE COMPLEXITY OF DATA RECOVERY AND INTERPRETATION A. Pagá García1, A. Di Natale1, S. Tensek1, C. Palma1 SUMMARY One of the main activities of the ICCAT GBYP is data recovery and most of the efforts have been devoted to traps, the gear with the longest history. After 7 years of data recovery, a considerable amount of information and a data series going back to 1512 were produced, now the data statistics to be used by the SCRS. At this point, to avoid biased interpretations of the accumulated data, it is important to show what is behind the numbers, the complexity of the situations over the many centuries and the limits for interpreting the data. For this purpose, we used as an example the data from the Sicilian traps, the most documented and even the most complex series. RÉSUMÉ La récupération des données constitue l'une des principales tâches de l'ICCAT-GBYP et la plupart des efforts ont été consacrés aux madragues, l’engin présentant l’historique le plus long. Après avoir récupéré des données pendant sept ans, ce qui a produit une quantité considérable d'informations et une série de données remontant à 1512, le SCRS a commencé à utiliser les données statistiques. À ce stade, afin d’éviter les interprétations biaisées des données accumulées, il est important de montrer ce qui se cache derrière les chiffres, la complexité des situations au cours des nombreux siècles et les limites d'interprétation des données.
