Newsletter No. 6 NEWSLETTER NO. 6 LAUNCHING (G)LOCAL LEVEL HERITAGE ENTREPRENEURSHIP: STRATEGIES AND TOOLS TO UNITE FORCES, SAFEGUARD THE PLACE, MOBILIZE CULTURAL VALUES, DELIVER THE EXPERIENCE Sixth study visit– “Last conspiracy” game Roving Museum Exhibition This is the sixth and also the last number of Sagittarius Newsletter. The project will finish at the end of May 2014. This means the conclusion of all project partners’ activities. In the latest newsletter we would like to present you the most important results that partners from 8 countries of South Eastern Europe have prepared and achieved in the three-year of implementation period of the Sagittarius project. 1. FIFTH TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT MEETING AND SIXTH STUDY VISIT IN PTUJ Sagittarius project partners have meet the fifth time in Slovenia on 4th and 5th of November 2013. The host of the project meeting was E-institution Ptuj and it took place in Grand Hotel Primus in Ptuj. 1.1 Fifth Transnational Project Partners Meeting (Ptuj) The representatives of all project partners came to the project meeting, and together we were 30 participants. All present were welcomed by Darko Ferčej the director of E- Institute Ptuj. Then the official program of the meeting started. We discussed several topics, as the project moved into the final implementation phase, where all project partners should demonstrate their partial project results and integrate them into common project outputs. First, we examine the so far results and physical indicators of the project. The review and discussion was moderated by the project manager Dorothea Papathanasiou - Zuhrt. The focal point of the discussion was Roving museum. This will be a portable structure that will have images, text and QR codes. The form and substance should be ready by the end of year 2013. Roving museum will consist of five components, as follows: a portable structure (110 bilateral panels in English and local language), QR codes (110 QR codes published in Pinterest), the involvement of social media (space with 110 sites from 8 countries), APP and game. International game will be consists of APP information from all partners. Quality Control Committee agreed that all outputs should guarantee minimum quality standards. APP should lead visitors to sights, to which they get through scan of desired location of the Roving museum. It shall produce the visitation and consumption motive for0 located and dislocated audiences. Fifth Transnational Project Meeting Fifth Transnational Project Meeting An important result of the project will be the exhibition of bilateral panels of Roving museum. Photographs shall be elaborated by professional photographers and follow the template style, as provided by the LP. The story of each heritage asset should be written in brief (no more than 300 to 400 words). Longer stories (full stories) should be uploaded and presented through QC codes. Each panel unit should establish a cognitive emotional experience. Then followed the presentations of good practice cases implemented by three project partners. Professor Valentine Vasile presented the Pilot project "In(di)visible Bucharest - History and Culture” and the game "Prince Vlad Dracula", prepared by the project partners from Bucharest. Luisa Kausch presented the Pilot project - an example of good practice "Puzzle it: Abruzzo Design with a finger", prepared by the project partner PP2 from Italy. Luca Giocoli presented the Pilot project, designed by project partner PP3 from the region of Basilicata - "Compitum Europeae, Locus paciis." One of the project results is launching the non-governmental organizations Sagittarius. The headquarter of the organization will be in Guilmi in Italy and it should be established in accordance with Italian law. Therefore, Luisa Kausch presented the necessary procedures for the establishment. Project partner PP2 will prepare statute and founding act, which will be signed by all project partners. On the meeting, we reviewed the financial report of the project and subsequent spending. At the same time our financial manager pointed out the preparation of a new interim report, and the most common mistakes in reporting from the past periods. 1.2 Sixth Transnational Study Visit (Castle Rače) Next day we have the study visit. We drive to castle Rače, one of Slovene heritage trail location. Castle Rače is an example of the flat land island or water castle. The history of the building extends into the first half of 16th century. His owner between year 1668 and 1671 was Count Ivan Erazem Tattenbach, one of the conspirators in historic conspiracy against Emperor Leopold the 1th of Habsburg, which failed. All conspirators were beheaded. Study visit in Castle Rače “Last conspiracy” game Interesting conspiracy story was the basis for the game “Last conspiracy” that all participants of study visit have played in the castle. We determined the course of the game, the incident and the task of searching the conspiracy letter and a traitor of the plot by using QR codes and tablet computers. The game provided elements of surprises, innovation and emotional intelligence. The duration of the game was congruent with the principle of the Interpretation of Heritage and the Human Cognitive Architecture. The story narrative was successfully embedded in to the locations and the local stakeholder map has been actively supporting. The game implementation was well- coordinated and the roles were evenly spread among skills and generations. Unfortunately, we were accompanied by bad weather so we visited another Slovene heritage trail location Landscape park “Rački ponds” with the bus. In the afternoon we returned to the hotel Primus and continued with partner meeting. Partners had projects’ Steering Committee Meeting, Quality Control Committee Meeting and Technical Committee Meeting. Throughout the committees discussion about the coordination of the individual partners and between all project partners held. We were looking for solutions for project activities in default, in particular, to plan upcoming activities and events. IPA partner from Croatia will prepare a booklet "The Project’s Interpretive Guide Book". All partners will be informed about the contributions that we have to prepare to be included into the guide book. We devoted most of time to preparations for the projects final conference, which will be held in Potenza, Basilicata region in Italy from 11th to 14th of April 2014. Mountain Community Alto Basento from Potenza will organize the conference. We talked about the conference program and the collection of scientific papers for the conference with the title "Heritage as a smart growth resource – a driver for sustainable development and economic recovery". Each project partner have to invite a certain number of participants, on the conference will be invited keynote speakers and guests. The conference program and number of participants will also have an impact on the conference budget. 2. TECHNICAL MEETING IN ZAGREB The course of project activities called for the Technical Committee Meeting that took place in University of Zagreb, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Zagreb, on 18th of March 2014. Participants of the meeting were representatives of IPA partner from Croatia, Lead partner University of the Aegean from Greece, Romanian partner from Institute of National Economy, Italian partner from Mountain Community, Alto Basento and Slovenian partner from E-institute Ptuj. Members of technical committee and other participants spoke about five main topics to finish the project as follows: 1. Sagittarius international conference that will take place from 11th to 14th April 2014 in Potenza Italy. Topics were conference organizing partners and task distribution, conference budget and program. Planed conference events are: Conference Launch and Keynote Speakers Sessions The Roving Museum Exhibition The Project Film The EQF Certification Award The Young Archer Award The Gala Dinner The Launch of the NGO SAGITTARIUS The Study Visits 2. EQF Certification Development of a professional profile - Basic skills in the interpretation of heritage Learner Pool - 197 (Attendants and e-Coursants with Dissertations) Certificate of Attendance 3. The project interpretative guidebook Significant delays caused by partners in the timely delivery of the Pilot Project Materials, as required by the IPA Partner - Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Zagreb, have resulted a- in the inability of the IPA Partner to complete the task on time b- had disabled Bulgarian Chamber of commerce and Industry to complete the PPP as per national rules and regulations and have the book printed by the 31st of March. According to above delay IPA book should be prepared/ready by April 10th and approved by the IPA National Controller by April 20th. E-institute Ptuj will print the book and send copies (500 copies) to all partners. 4. Transnational Quality labeling To conclude the development of a Quality Logo for Pilot Project Applications and Evaluations of Pilot Project Application the members of the Quality Control Committee assisted by ERDF PP3 and ERDF PP6 have fined tune criteria and have awarded the Pilot Project. The results of Pilot Project Award will be announced on the international conference in Italy. 5. Project close out The administrative close out of the project is on 31th of May 2014.

It concludes that environmental hazards such as landslides have partiy-social causes, which are characteristic of the societies they affect, and any real accommodation with environmental hazards must involve radical social change. The dissertation analyzes the differing explanations for environmental hazards given by previous schools of thought. Passing to the empirical material to be examined using these ideas, it describes the current pattern of landslides in Basilicata and discusses whether the reported landslide hazard has increased during the twentieth century.

Il Piano del Parco, che valuta i sistemi naturali come risorsa fondamentale, senza però trascurare l’opera che l’uomo ha lasciato come segno di cultura, intende essere il punto d’incontro e di equilibrio dei principali obiettivi di gestione: conservazione e restauro dei valori naturali e culturali e promozione di uno sviluppo economico e sociale del territorio locale. Di conseguenza, il suo approccio punta sull’integrazione tra le diverse discipline relative alla gestione della natura, del paesaggio, degli usi del suolo e delle attività di fruizione. Il sistema normativo, organizzato con riferimento alle principali politiche del Piano e alle relative zonizzazioni, si articola secondo diverse tipologie e gradi di cogenza determinati dagli obiettivi e dalla praticabilità delle politiche stesse. Gli Obiettivi generali del Parco e del suo Piano, che possono essere individuati nella conservazione della caratteristica condizione di area Parco, nella conservazione e protezione dell’area a lungo termine inserita nell’ambito della Rete Natura 2000, con una connessione funzionale con gli altri S.I.C. e Z.P.S. limitrofi e nel contributo allo sviluppo sociale ed economico delle comunità locali, mediante l’integrazione del Parco nel suo contesto territoriale, trovano specificazione in un campo di Obiettivi specifici così riassumibili: 1.

  • Pathways of Grammaticalisation in Italo- Romance Published Online September 22, 2020
    Probus 2020; 32(2): 327–366 Luigi Andriani*, Kim A. Groothuis* and Giuseppina Silvestri* Pathways of Grammaticalisation in Italo- Romance https://doi.org/10.1515/PRBS-2020-0004 Published online September 22, 2020 Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to discuss three possible theoretical interpretations of grammaticalised structures in present-day Italo-Romance va- rieties. In particular, we discuss and analyse three diachronic case studies in relation to the generative view of grammaticalisation. The first case-study re- volves around the expression of future tense and modality. This is discussed in the light of the assumption according to which grammaticalised elements result from merging elements in higher positions than their original merge positions within the lexical domain, giving rise to the upward directionality of the gram- maticalisation process within the clause (Roberts, Ian G. and Anna Roussou, 2003, Syntactic change: A minimalist approach to grammaticalization. Cam- bridge: Cambridge University Press). The second case study challenges this view, by discussing irrealis complementisers as a case of a downward pathway of grammaticalization at the CP level. For our third case study, namely the devel- opment of (discontinuous) demonstrative structures from Latin to Romance, the rich Italo-Romance empirical evidence is analysed through the lens of a para- metric account (Longobardi, Giuseppe, Cristina Guardiano, Giuseppina Silvestri, Alessio Boattini, and Andrea Ceolin, 2013, Toward a syntactic phylogeny of modern Indo-European languages, Journal of Historical Linguistics 3(1), 122– 152), in order to capture the role of the relevant semantic and syntactic features withinthefine-grainedarchitectureoftheDP.Itwillbeobservedthatthe diachronic development of some functional categories in (Italo-)Romance results from cyclic pathways of grammaticalisation, as the same category might cycli- cally change from more synthetic to more analytic, and vice-versa.

Knowledge: Language, history, tradition and art have always conveyed dialogic relations and inter- personal relationships within societies, founding on otherness the peculiarities understood as knowledge development, processes, sedimentation and transformation. What becomes peculiar is the "knowledge" as the achievement of an advantage derived from the possession of unique and inimitable knowledge.

    Untold Italy Episode 47 - Basilicata [00:01:00.140] - Katy Ciao friends, it's Katy here. How are you all doing this week? I know many of you are heading into winter, so I really hope you're staying cozy. Here in Australia. Summer is definitely around the corner. And where there's sun, there's an excuse for gelato. Not that I need one, mind you. Luckily, we have some excellent gelaterie here, but of course, it never tastes quite the same as being in Italy. [00:01:25.160] - Katy And speaking of Italy today, I want to take a little pause to send lots of love to our friends over there where the virus is really surging and strict measures are being put in place to stop the second wave. This has been an unspeakably difficult year for many of us and our friends in travel and tourism. Businesses in Italy are suffering terribly. They basically missed their summer season this year, which usually provides the income for the winter and spring. I constantly marvel at their ability to stay positive and hopeful in the face of these challenges. [00:01:58.040] - Katy Of course, they have their dark days, but many are busily preparing for your return in 2021 and beyond, with the hope that us visitors will spend more time deeply exploring their beautiful country. And there is hope, as we have seen throughout this year, things can change quickly, and I hope that things change for the better as we close out 2020 and look to a brighter future where travel resumes and we can eat more gelato.

  • Path Dependence, Civic Culture, and Differential
    213 Path Dependence, Civic Culture, Government Performance Putnam’s argument with a strong sense of intellectual closure and a seemingly flawless protective belt. Dependence, Civic Putnam stated some unremarkable findings when he reported that Path the medieval monarchical and republican regimes worked differently, Culture, and Differential that modern public institutions work better in some parts of Italy than in others, and that the south has fewer expressions of voluntary joint Government Performance or collective efforts than does the north. But for Putnam’s explanation of these findings to hold, three things must be true. The first is that the Italian regional experiment was a “natural” experiment, to be approached in the same way that “a botanist might study plant devel opment by measuring the growth of genetically identical seeds sown in different plots” (Putnam 1993, 7, emphasis added). The second is that patterns of civic culture best explain differential effectiveness in regions. The third is that these modern social patterns are plainly trace able to the monarchical and republican regimes of medieval times. One objective of this chapter is to show that neither logic nor evi dence bears out such an interpretation. The regional experiment was hardly a “natural” experiment. Patterns of civic culture do not explain Robert D. Putnam’s Making Democracy Work: Civic Traditions in all of the story about regional government performance. As hinted in Modern Italy (1993) sought to account for differential performance of chapters 4 and 8, differential behaviours in different regions cannot be regional governments in terms of culture, and for systemic variance explained unless one introduces the rich historical diversity that char between north and south in terms of the medieval legacy of civic acterizes each region — and this Putnam was prevented from doing by norms and networks.

Sansoni S.p.A. - Firenze a CARLO BATTISTI L-^ per i suoi novant'anni due vecchi amici l'Ili XI 6^8376 INTRODUZIONE Questo libro è nato dai commenti dialettologici della grande raccolta di monografie regionali, pubblicata, sotto il titolo TUTTITALIA, dalla casa Sansoni, fra gli anni 1961 e 1967. Le unità nelle quali il libro si scompone corrispondono alle regioni previste dalla Costituzione ita- liana. Ma il libro si propone uno scopo più ambizioso di una raccolta comparativa di tutti i dialetti italiani che continuano con maggiore o minore fedeltà il latino par- lato un tempo. Questo compito prevalentemente tecnico è lasciato alle opere elencate nella bibliografia di questo volume alla p. IX. Lo scopo del libro, triplice, è quello invece di illustrare le forze in gioco che hanno agito prima perché la conipat- tezza del latino fosse incrinata, poi perché, arginato il pro- cesso di frammentazione o disgregazione, cominciassero e si facessero sentire, con maggiore o minore fortuna, elementi di concentrazione e ricostruzione. Dal primo punto di vi- sta, la crisi virtuale del latino comincia alla fine del primo secolo a. C, quando il latino viene chiamato a un con- fronto con le lingue parlate a quel tempo in tutt'Italia, con risultati contrastanti.
