  • SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An
    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.

  • The Thyroid in Art
    THE THYROID IN ART Luigi Massimino SENA Clinical Pathology Faculty of Medicine University of Turin (Italy) 1 TAKE ART AND PUT IT IN SCIENCE Art and science are different aspects of human creativity. Over the centuries, artists have made use of the expressive power of images to awaken both emotions and empathy, which are often universal. 2 The thyroid gland (tireos, oblong "shield" , but which in reality meant big stone used as a door or for shutting the wooden door: cover, defend with the shield) is located in a part of the human body, i.e., in the neck, making it clearly visible in the throat when enlarged (goiter from Latin guttur). The prevalence of goiter was already known in ancient times, but the writings that described it were almost always devoid of explanatory drawings. The representation of the goiter is illustrated in the numerous depictions of goitrous men, women and children in coins, sculptures, paintings, simple craft objects and even in forms of folklore that involved persons not engaged in the medical art. The depictions were the works of artists living in endemic areas, or of travelers who illustrated the reality they encountered. The size of the goiter has always provoked amazement or fear, feelings that are associated with the mystery surrounding its origin and function. Over the centuries, it has stimulated the imagination of people, while at the same time it has paved the way to understanding the historical relationship between disease and society (pathocoenosis). 3 PATHOCOENOSIS In 1969, Mirko Drazen Grmek (1924-2000) created the neologism pathocenose or pathocoenosis , that is a “community of diseases”: “the collection of pathological states present in a given population in a certain time and space”.

  • Jerusalem in Renaissance Italy the Holy Sepulchre on the Sacro Monte of Varallo
    Jerusalem In Renaissance Italy 215 Chapter 9 Jerusalem in Renaissance Italy The Holy Sepulchre on the Sacro Monte of Varallo Bram de Klerck The iconography of St Charles Borromeo (1538–84) contains some interesting instances of the kneeling saint in the immediate vicinity of the recumbent fig- ure of the deceased Christ. The Saviour’s largely nude body, head sometimes still crowned with thorns, is placed on a catafalque or marble slab. An example is a painting executed after 1615 for the Church of Santi Carlo e Giustina in Pa- via, by the Milanese artist Giulio Cesare Procaccini (1574–1625), now in Milan, Pinacoteca di Brera (Fig. 9.1). The work represents St Charles, dressed as a car- dinal, kneeling and looking up to an angel who is pointing at the body of Christ.1 What is especially striking in this painting and images like it is that they suggest the real presence of the sixteenth-century Milanese archbishop at Christ’s bier. By uniting the figures of Christ and St Charles in one and the same space, realistically proportioned to each other, the painters emphasize that, to the saint, the body of the dead Christ is almost tangible. It is as if, long after the biblical events of Christ’s crucifixion and burial, Borromeo found a miraculous way to go back in time some one-and-a-half millennia to find the Saviour’s body inside the hermetically closed tomb. However improbable the scene may appear, these paintings reflect a spe- cific religious experience and practice, as they are documented in the earliest written accounts of Charles Borromeo’s life.
