In Firenze, Dante was inspired to write La Vita Nuova, his poign- ant ode to Beatrice, the love of his life. The first stanza has long been considered the most roman- tic poem ever put to paper, and a tribute to Firenze as a haven for lovers, reads: To every captive soul and gen- tle lover into whose sight this present rhyme may chance, that, writing back, each may expound its sense Greetings in Love, who is their Lord, I offer.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis compares Umbria before and after the Roman conquest in order to assess the impact of the imposition of Roman control over this area of central Italy. There are four sections specifically on Umbria and two more general chapters of introduction and conclusion. The introductory chapter examines the most important issues for the history of the Italian regions in this period and the extent to which they are relevant to Umbria, given the type of evidence that survives. The chapter focuses on the concept of state formation, and the information about it provided by evidence for urbanisation, coinage, and the creation of treaties. The second chapter looks at the archaeological and other available evidence for the history of Umbria before the Roman conquest, and maps the beginnings of the formation of the state through the growth in social complexity, urbanisation and the emergence of cult places.

Overall most of this legacy – but not all – is to be found in the mountains, where the landscapes and ecosystems change according to altitude, shifting from typically Mediterranean milieus to outright alpine scenarios, with mugo pine groves and high-altitude steppe. Of all the Apennine regions, Abruzzo is distinctive for its prevalently mountainous nature, with two thirds of its territory found at over 750 metres in altitude.This is due to the unique way that the Apennine develops in its central section, where it continues to proceed along the peninsula’s

Danubio3 1 Department of Animal and Human Biology, University »La Sapienza«, Rome, Italy 2 Department of Methods, Economics and Territory, University of Teramo, Teramo, Italy 3 Department of Environmental Studies, University of L'Aquila, L'Aquila, Italy ABSTRACT The seasonality of 27,705 marriages celebrated in a four century span in the Province of Teramo (Abruzzo, Italy) was analyzed to identify the presence of a long-term pattern re- lated to the prevailing subsistence activity and the main factors affecting it. The results show general agreement in all centuries with the agricultural patterns of other lowland or south-central Italian groups (Piedmont, Veneto, Liguria, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Latium, Campania, Apulia) and Mediterranean regions (Spain, France), although with some differences. Religious factors strongly affected the timing of marriage only during Lent. Of interest is the progressive increase through the centuries of marriages in the summer-autumn months, associated with a decrease in January and February. This suggests the passage from a summer migration system to a rural sedentary system with occasional seasonal work. Introduction tionship between the population and its environment5,6.

  • Using Italian
    This page intentionally left blank Using Italian This is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register, and politeness which are essential to achieving an appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech. The book surveys the contemporary linguistic scene and gives ample space to the new varieties of Italian that are emerging in modern Italy. The influence of the dialects in shaping the development of Italian is also acknowledged. Clear, readable and easy to consult via its two indexes, this is an essential reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Italian language. j. j. kinder is Associate Professor of Italian at the Department of European Languages and Studies, University of Western Australia. He has published widely on the Italian language spoken by migrants and their children. v. m. savini is tutor in Italian at the Department of European Languages and Studies, University of Western Australia.

  • By Filippo Sabetti Mcgill University the MAKING of ITALY AS AN
    THE MAKING OF ITALY AS AN EXPERIMENT IN CONSTITUTIONAL CHOICE by Filippo Sabetti McGill University THE MAKING OF ITALY AS AN EXPERIMENT IN CONSTITUTIONAL CHOICE In his reflections on the history of European state-making, Charles Tilly notes that the victory of unitary principles of organiza- tion has obscured the fact, that federal principles of organization were alternative design criteria in The Formation of National States in West- ern Europe.. Centralized commonwealths emerged from the midst of autonomous, uncoordinated and lesser political structures. Tilly further reminds us that "(n)othing could be more detrimental to an understanding of this whole process than the old liberal conception of European history as the gradual creation and extension of political rights .... Far from promoting (representative) institutions, early state-makers 2 struggled against them." The unification of Italy in the nineteenth century was also a victory of centralized principles of organization but Italian state- making or Risorgimento differs from earlier European state-making in at least three respects. First, the prospects of a single political regime for the entire Italian peninsula and islands generated considerable debate about what model of government was best suited to a population that had for more than thirteen hundred years lived under separate and diverse political regimes. The system of government that emerged was the product of a conscious choice among alternative possibilities con- sidered in the formulation of the basic rules that applied to the organi- zation and conduct of Italian governance. Second, federal principles of organization were such a part of the Italian political tradition that the victory of unitary principles of organization in the making of Italy 2 failed to obscure or eclipse them completely.

According to the ancient sources, this region was inhabited by a tribe called Picentini (Strabo 5,4,3; Fest. p.150 (Li); Dion. Hal. 1,16; Plin. nat. 3,18,110). Inscriptions from the area however fall into two distinct groups, who are labelled according to their geographical location: South Picene (Indo-European language, part of the Sabellian language group), !1 (!8) ITALIC / KWT DAY 3: Sabellian II attested in 23 inscriptions, and North Picene, or Novilara (non-Indo-European), attested in only one. 1. South Picene orthography South Picene is written in a South Picene national alphabet, derived from the southern Etruscan signary, with similar Greek influence as the Oscan and Umbrian alphabets. The alphabet is transcribed: a b g d e v h i j k l m n o p q r s t u f í ú There are no preserved South Picene abecedaria, and the order of the signs is therefore hypothetical. ”New” signs are traditionally placed at the end of the alphabetic row. Note the presence of signs for voiced stops /b/, /g/ and /d/; the to vowel signs <í> and <ú> for middle front and back vowels (see comments in Phonology handout). Inscriptions in South Picene have the simple sign <8> for /f/.

The guide to the itineraries to artistic craft wishes to tell of the magic spell of our villages and of people’s passion that animate these places through their work with the awareness that it is possible to hand down the memory only by drawing visitors close to this priceless heritage. The Chieti province, with its peculiarity of environment and traditions, is the ideal place to satisfy the curiosity of the attentive tourist. The four chosen itineraries are just a small part of what this territory has to offer. This guide is testimony to the interest the Chamber of Commerce of Chieti nurtures for this sector, so important because it is evidence of a civilization that proposes itself in such an evident way.

  • Muslims in Sicily by Gianotta Dalla Fiora the Island of Sicily Produced
    Muslims in Sicily by Gianotta dalla Fiora The island of Sicily produced one of the most unique cultures of the Middle Ages, which still persists today in the language, architecture, and food. Home to Greeks, Romans, Lombards, Normans, Muslims, Spanish, and French, all of these influences melded under the Sicilian sun to create something much larger than the constituent parts. As Sicily today merges more into the Italian mainstream, the unique cultural markers are getting blurred, but even today’s Sicilians acknowledge that they are Sicilians first and fore- most. One of the strongest elements of the Sicilian culture remains its Muslim past. In Palermo, many streets in the old Kalsa district by the waterfront (from the Arabic al-Khalesa) put one in mind of Cairo or Morocco, espe- cially in the souk-like markets or the street vendors around the Teatro Mas- simo from Northern Africa selling textiles, furniture, hookahs, and jewelry. You’ll find couscous, “cucusa” in Sicilian dialect, on the menu in Trapani, only made with fish instead of lamb. Sicilian dialect itself has many words of Arabic origin, including the name of the island’s capital, Palermo — from the Arabic Bal’Harm. The Arabs introduced irrigation techniques and the cultivation of many crops that indelibly changed the island’s cuisine — egg- plants, rice, oranges, lemons, date palms, mulberries, and sugar. Marzipan and dried semolina pasta, according to several food scholars, had their ori- gins in the kitchens of the Arab emirs. Today’s caponata, with its sweet and sour flavors, came out of Arabic cooking (a version of eggplant salad from the island of Ustica, off the coast of Palermo, may be considered a proto- caponata).
