  • Long Lasting Differences in Civic Capital: Evidence from a Unique Immigration Event in Italy
    Long Lasting Differences in Civic Capital: Evidence from a Unique Immigration Event in Italy. E. Bracco, M. De Paola and C. Green Abstract We examine the persistence of cultural differences focusing on the Arberesh in Italy. The Arberesh are a linguistic and ethnic minority living in the south of Italy. They settled in Italy at the end of the XV century, following the invasion of the Balkans by the Ottoman Empire. Using a large dataset from the Italian parliamentary elections of the lower chamber of the Parliament, taking place from 1946 to 2008, we compare turnout in Arberesh municipalities with turnout in indigenous municipalities located in the same geographical areas. We also use two alternative different indicators of social capital like turnout at referendum and at European Parliament Elections. We find that in Arberesh municipalities turnout and compliance rates are higher compared to indigenous municipalities located in the same area. 1 I. INTRODUCTION A range of evidence now exists that demonstrates the relationship between social capital and a range of important socio-economic outcomes. Using a variety of proxies, social capital has been shown to have predictive power across a range of domains, including economic growth (Helliwell and Putnam, 1995; Knack and Keefer, 1997; Zak and Knack, 2001), trade (Guiso et al., 2004), well- functioning institutions (Knack, 2002), low corruption and crime (Uslaner, 2002; Buonanno et al., 2009) and well functioning financial markets (Guiso et al., 2004a). While this literature demonstrates large and long-lived within and across country differences in values, social and cultural norms rather less is known about the origins of these differences.

  • What Tourists Say About the Italian National Parks: a Web Mining Analysis
    Rivista Italiana di Economia Demografia e Statistica Volume LXIX n. 3 Luglio-Settembre 2015 WHAT TOURISTS SAY ABOUT THE ITALIAN NATIONAL PARKS: A WEB MINING ANALYSIS Domenica Fioredistella Iezzi, Francesco Zarelli 1. Introduction In recent years, national natural parks have attracted more and more tourists. The reasons for this success could be the striking beauty of these areas, but there are three main motivations: (1) sustainable tourism, (2) ecotourism and (3) nature tourism. Nature tourism pushes for the enjoyment of the beauty of flora and fauna but does not make an evaluation of sustainability (Zarelli and Iezzi, 2012; Giannavola, Sole, 2008). Ecotourism analyses similarities and differences in the emotions that emerge from the experience of visiting such places and does not exclude the possibility of investigating and studying the emergence of a conscious attention of the traveller—possibly already mature—to the protection of places, including animals and plants, fragrances and sounds, often so different from the context in which we live. This attitude is typical of tourists in ecotourism, which hence differs from nature tourism because those who practice it explicitly give attention to environmental protection and the conservation of its identity (IX Ecotur Report, 2012). It should be noted that the concept of ecotourism is still difficult to fully explain because it is, first of all, an abstraction, a philosophical model undergoing evolution (Galli, Notarianni, 2002). Sustainable tourism focuses on responsible tourists and respectful contractors of environmental and local culture, offering real benefits to local people. The aim of this paper is to classify the contents of several reviews published by tourists/hikers about six pilot Italian national parks (Abruzzo, Molise and Lazio; Gargano; Pollino; Maddalena; Circeo and Gran Sasso).

  • Cilento and Vallo Di Diano National Park with the Archaeological Sites
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION – IUCN TECHNICAL EVALUATION NATIONAL PARK OF CILENTO (ITALY) (MIXED CULTURAL-NATURAL NOMINATION) 1. DOCUMENTATION (i) IUCN/WCMC Data Sheet (3 references). (ii) Additional Literature Consulted: Government of Italy.1997. Liste du Patrimoine Mondial: Candidature du Parc National du Cilento avec les sites archeologiques de Paestum et Velia. Ministero dell’Ambiente. 1998. Parco Nazionale del Cilento e Vallo di Diano – Relazione Programmatica e di Indirizzo, 1998-2001. UNESCO-MAB. 1997. Nuove Riserve di Biosfera in Italia. (iii) Consultations: 12 external reviewers. (iv) Field Visit: J. Marsh, April, 1998. 2. SUMMARY OF NATURAL VALUES The site, comprising 181,041 ha. is located in central-southern Italy, in the Campania region, and Salerno Province. Of this total size 20 core zones make up 26,000ha (i.e. 14%) with the remainder being in the buffer zone (50,000ha) and transitional zone (105,000h) categories. Cilento is in the Mediterranean Sclerophyll biogeographical province. The area is characterised by mountains, valleys and coast. It is bounded on the north and east by the Vallo di Diano, and on the west and south by the coast and Tyrrhenian Sea. The relief results from the collision of tectonic plates, mountain building, and fluvial and marine erosion. In the east and north are the highest mountains, composed of limestone with stratified dolomites. They include Mount Alberni (1742m), Mount Cocuzzo (1411m), Mount Motola (1700m), and Mount Cervati (1898m). This area is separated from the western region by several river valleys, notably that of the River Calore. In the western area, the highest massif is Mount Sacro or Gelbison (1705m), composed of limestone, quartz, sandstone, conglomerate and clay.

  • Annibale Formica Le Comunità Arbëresh Della Val Sarmento
    Annibale Formica Le comunità arbëresh della Val Sarmento1 La valle La Val Sarmento è una vallata di appena 4500 abitanti e di 25 mila ettari di territorio rurale e montano. È una piccola enclave, marginale, del versante nord-orientale del Parco Nazionale del Pollino, dove si concentra un patrimonio unico, irripetibile, inestimabile di natura, di paesaggi, di biodiversità, di storia, di tradizioni, di identità, di cultura. Attraverso rocce dolomitiche, pini loricati, boschi di faggio, cuscini di lava, nuclei abitati, comunità arbëresh, siti archeologici, in poche decine di chilometri si passa da un paesaggio “alpino” ad un paesaggio “mediterraneo”. Dopo gli ultimi decenni di abbandono e di spopolamento, il paesaggio, a scendere da Terranova di Pollino alla confluenza nella Valle dei Sinni, è andato via via caratterizzandosi per la notevole espansione della pianta di ginestra, che ha colonizzato gran parte degli ex-coltivi. Alle pendici del Monte Carnara, sul versante orientale del Sarmento, e della Timpa San Nicola, sul versante occidentale, nei luoghi di “fere, sassi, orride ruine, selve incolte e solitarie grotte”, invocati, nelle sue struggenti liriche, entro le mura del suo castello sotto Monte Coppolo, da Isabella Morra, negli anni del XVI secolo in cui la poetessa di Valsinni consumava la sua tragica esistenza, le comunità arbëresh, profughe dalla Morea, hanno formato i loro insediamenti. I due borghi rurali arbëresh si conservano, quasi intatti, nelle loro case in pietra, nei tetti in coppi, nei camini fumanti, nelle scale e nei ballatoi esterni alle abitazioni, negli intricati vicoletti e negli slarghi popolati dalle “gjtonie“ (il vicinato), dalle anziane donne, alcune delle quali vestono nei loro tradizionali costumi e col capo coperto nei tipici panni rossi.

The Gardens of the Miglio d’Oro The Friends met 11–13 June for their third gathering in Campania since 2006, in what is now an established biennial tradition. For repeat attenders it felt like a reunion, while at the same time it was gratifying to welcome a good number of newcomers. For the first two meetings we resided in Naples (hence the First and Second ‘Naples’ Congresses), but for this one we moved out to Ercolano itself, a prospect made enticing by the opening of the four-star Miglio D’Oro hotel, a spectacular, done-over 18th-century villa which made up in atmosphere—especially the garden—what it (so far) lacks in abundance of staff (in some areas). The experiment was judged successful both for its convenience and for the benefit we were able to deliver to the local economy, not just the Miglio D’Oro but to B&Bs and local businesses.
