This experience introduced me to the politics of Italy from the perspective of different places in the country. At the same time, I was working on developing a geographical approach to understanding politi- cal identities and interests that challenged more dominant conceptions based on political science and sociology. After I attended a 1985 confer- ence on the electoral geography of Italy organized in Parma by Carlo Brusa, my new friendship with him led me to his hometown of Varese. My interest in the Northern League blossomed out of that encounter and out of my travels in northern Italy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The ma- jor parties of the Italian government at that time—the Christian Demo- crats and Socialists—collapsed while I was visiting Milan and Varese in 1992. That was an intriguing time, dashing with Carlo from one party head- quarters to another to see which local politicians had been indicted for corruption and to find out what response the local activists were contem- plating. The confluence of these experiences over several years brought about the work this book is based on. The book itself has taken a long time to reach fruition. In 1992, when I was teaching at the University of Chicago, I spoke to Michael Conzen of the University of Chicago and Penelope Kaiserlian of the University of Chicago Press about writing on this topic, but I was diverted by other proj- ects and by a move from from Syracuse University to UCLA in 1996. Dur- ing the delay, however, my commitment to the idea of a place-based in- terpretation of politics was reinforced.

    CHANGING PERCEPTIONS OF IL DUCE TRACING POLITICAL TRENDS IN THE ITALIAN-AMERICAN MEDIA DURING THE EARLY YEARS OF FASCISM by Ryan J. Antonucci Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2013 Changing Perceptions of il Duce Tracing Political Trends in the Italian-American Media during the Early Years of Fascism Ryan J. Antonucci I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: Ryan J. Antonucci, Student Date Approvals: Dr. David Simonelli, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. Brian Bonhomme, Committee Member Date Dr. Martha Pallante, Committee Member Date Dr. Carla Simonini, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies Date Ryan J. Antonucci © 2013 iii ABSTRACT Scholars of Italian-American history have traditionally asserted that the ethnic community’s media during the 1920s and 1930s was pro-Fascist leaning. This thesis challenges that narrative by proving that moderate, and often ambivalent, opinions existed at one time, and the shift to a philo-Fascist position was an active process. Using a survey of six Italian-language sources from diverse cities during the inauguration of Benito Mussolini’s regime, research shows that interpretations varied significantly. One of the newspapers, Il Cittadino Italo-Americano (Youngstown, Ohio) is then used as a case study to better understand why events in Italy were interpreted in certain ways.

  • 2. the Communications Sector in Italy
    2. The communications sector in Italy 2. The communications sector in Italy 2.1. Telecommunications In a picture of progressive deterioration of the macroeconomic situation, the trend of contraction of the telecommunications market, on both fixed and mobile network, already observed for some years, was confirmed in 2011. In this context, the elements which best qualify the Italian telecommunications market, show no substantial change in 2011 compared to the last two years. These elements can be summed up as follows: i) the expenditure of families and companies in telecommunications services continues to fall, with a slight acceleration compared to 2010; ii) the reduction in the prices of telecommunications services to both private and business customers, on both fixed and mobile networks, is constant; iii) the contraction in voice calls on dial-up network continues, with a reduction of 11.7% in the number of minutes consumed, while voice traffic from the mobile network has increased by another 10% in the last year; iv) the spread of broadband services on fixed and mobile network has produced further growth in income deriving from data services; v) there is still growth, but with indications of the saturation of the relative market, in the virtual mobile telephony compartment; vi) with regard to the competitive situation, the erosion of Telecom Italia's total market share continues; vii) in last autumn, an auction was held for the assigning of the usage rights of the frequencies in the 800, 1,800, 2,000 and 2,600 MHz bands, which led to a total commitment of the mobile operators for € 3.9 billion; viii) on the other hand, the reduction in investments in infrastructures is confirmed;9 ix) The gross profit of the sector is substantially stable, also thanks to the continuous restructuring and cost containment actions carried out by the telecommunications companies.

  • Italian: Repubblica Italiana),[7][8][9][10] Is a Unitary Parliamentary Republic Insouthern Europe
    Italy ( i/ˈɪtəli/; Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic (Italian: Repubblica italiana),[7][8][9][10] is a unitary parliamentary republic inSouthern Europe. Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and has a largely temperate climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as lo Stivale (the Boot).[11][12] With 61 million inhabitants, it is the 5th most populous country in Europe. Italy is a very highly developed country[13]and has the third largest economy in the Eurozone and the eighth-largest in the world.[14] Since ancient times, Etruscan, Magna Graecia and other cultures have flourished in the territory of present-day Italy, being eventually absorbed byRome, that has for centuries remained the leading political and religious centre of Western civilisation, capital of the Roman Empire and Christianity. During the Dark Ages, the Italian Peninsula faced calamitous invasions by barbarian tribes, but beginning around the 11th century, numerous Italian city-states rose to great prosperity through shipping, commerce and banking (indeed, modern capitalism has its roots in Medieval Italy).[15] Especially duringThe Renaissance, Italian culture thrived, producing scholars, artists, and polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli. Italian explorers such as Polo, Columbus, Vespucci, and Verrazzano discovered new routes to the Far East and the New World, helping to usher in the European Age of Discovery. Nevertheless, Italy would remain fragmented into many warring states for the rest of the Middle Ages, subsequently falling prey to larger European powers such as France, Spain, and later Austria.

Krause [“Fistful of Tears”] Encounters with Transnational Affect, Chinese Immigrants and Italian Fast Fashion Abstract: In the made in italy fast-fashion sector, the ultimate flexible workers are Chinese migrants, whose parenting practices include circulating children back to China. This paper draws on collaborative research in Prato, Italy, to grasp how Chinese families and individuals encounter the Italian state and negotiate the terms of transnational capitalism. The project innovates an encounter ethnography framework to guide research. This paper investigates the dialectic between economics and affect. Chinese immigrants’ desires to make money are situated in three structural encounters, each at a different level of scale: the Wenzhou regional model of economic development; a Central Italian small-firm environment connected to the made in italy brand; and global restructuring of the textile and clothing industry.

    Provincia Comune di Lodi di Paullo Cycling between Lodi and Milan 10 CYCLING ROUTES FROM PUNTO PARCO CASA DELL’ACQUA IN PAULLO > INTRODUCTION _ Translated by: Daniela Paraboschi PAULLO, LAND OF BOUNDARIES he history of Paullo is strongly con- nected to water. A vast water basin, the legendary and mysterious Lake Cycling between Lodi and Milan TGerundo, extended in the past from Truc- 10 CYCLING ROUTES FROM PUNTO PARCO CASA DELL’ACQUA IN PAULLO cazzano southwards, flooding most of that land that today is called the “Lodigiano” north from Lodi. Floods of the rivers Adda and Serio formed an area of morasses and marshes, and it is from the Latin word for marsh, “palus” (in Ital- ian “palude”) that the name Paullo is derived. The existence of Lake Gerundo is men- tioned in chronicles and documents until year 1000. Later on, the work of land recla- mation performed throughout Milanese and Lodigiano drained the lake away. Today the remains of this lake can be seen in Mignete (see Routes 1, 4 and 9) hamlet of Zelo Buon Persico, where a vast grove of reeds and wetlands (the famous “Mortone”) can be observed from the morphological terrace near the cycling route towards Lodi, along the Provincial Street SP16. Here it is common to see grey herons, pheasants and other rare birds that have found their ideal View of the Muzza towpath habitat in this environment. 1 Today the names of the places bring back to wetlands was reduced, merging the waters 1965 to make room for an ugly building in memory the legend of Lake Gerundo, with into the «Mutia» (ancient name of the Muzza reinforced concrete.

Per GianCarlo Ghirardi, milanese di nascita e di studi ma che ha messo radici a Trieste dall'ormai lontano 1963, si tratta di un nuovo riconoscimento che sottolinea l'importanza di quella teoria GRW (Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber) ormai entrata non soltanto nei testi che si occupano dei fondamenti della meccanica quantistica, ma anche nei libri divulgativi di fisica. Come si legge nella prefazione a «The Quantum Universe», il modello GRW nasce «dalla Immagini di alta qualità a convinzione che la stessa fisica deve governare sia i sistemi microscopici sia quelli macroscopici».
