In some it is pertinent to recall why ICIAM exists in the first place, communities we might want to make specific mention of and why so many societies have joined ICIAM. How does Statistics, or Optimization, or Control Theory, or any an applied mathematics society, or a scientific society in one of a number of mathematical sciences disciplines that a discipline that uses advanced mathematics, or a general are the successors of “classical” applied mathematics.

  • Capitolo 13 Costume Stato E Società
    Costume, Stato e Società Costume, Stato e Società Nel V capitolo, intitolato “La Crisi del Trecento”, ho dedicato qualche pagina a descrivere le feste più celebrate dai fiorentini e, in termini sintetici, le condizioni di vita degli uomini del tempo; questo perché una narrazione storica non può del tutto prescindere dagli aspetti legati agli usi e ai costumi. Tuttavia questo tipo di informazioni, se inserite nel contesto, rallentano non poco il racconto; ecco perché ho predisposto questa sezione – intitolata Costume, Stato e Società - dove sono approfonditi alcuni temi e descritti aspetti apparentemente secondari che, uniti alle informazioni del racconto principale, dovrebbero contribuire a dare un quadro più completo della storia cittadina. L’Accademia dei Georgofili e la Società Dantesca Italiana Figura 192: L’Accademia dei Georgofili ed una singolare immagine di Dante Alighieri, in meditazione L’Accademia dei Georgofili nasce a Pitti il 4 giugno 1753, ebbe stanza nella Sala Leone X di Palazzo Vecchio e dal 1933 è alloggiata fra gli Uffizi e la Torre del Pulci dove, in una notte del maggio 1993, ha subito un gravissimo e incredibile attentato, per lo scoppio di una bomba che causò vittime e gravi danni. Due fattori favorirono la nascita e lo sviluppo dei Georgofili: il sostegno del Granduca Pietro Leopoldo I cultore degli studi scientifici e l’affermarsi in Italia delle teorie fisiocratiche che consideravano l’agricoltura base dell’economia e della ricchezza. Al suo tavolo si discussero, nel Settecento, i problemi del commercio del grano, del 286 Costume, Stato e Società libero scambio, della mezzadria, dell’allevamento, delle bonifiche e dell’istruzione agraria.

  • Best Practice in Urban Development
    Firenze, Italy Opening up the prison The regeneration of the ancient prison complex of Le Murate in the historical centre of Florence is a successful experience of integrated planning, which has restored an area that has historically been cut off from the urban and social fabric of the Santa Croce neighbourhood. The project is based on the city council’s consistent support for a redevelopment which has brought social housing back into the city centre, while also providing new public spaces and pedestrian access routes, an innovative enterprise incubator, an art centre, studios and commercial space. Opening up the prison The regeneration of the ancient prison complex of Le Murate in the historical centre of Florence is a successful experience of integrated planning, which has restored an area that has historically been cut off from the urban and social fabric of the Santa Croce neighbourhood. The project is based on the city council’s consistent support for a redevelopment which has brought social housing back into the city centre, while also developing a multi-sectoral range of interventions including new public spaces and pedestrian access routes, an innovative enterprise incubator, an art centre and studios, as well as commercial space. The project has had a long gestation; since the 1990s, it has been the object of design competitions and of a study by Renzo Piano, who provided the first guidelines for the redevelopment. Work started in 1995 when a consistent national funding source was made available for social housing, and since then the Office for Social Housing (ERP) of the Municipality of Florence has managed the job.

  • Istituto Storico Toscano Della Resistenza E Dell'età Contemporanea (ISRT)
    ISTITUTO STORICO TOSCANO DELLA RESISTENZA E DELL’ETÀ CONTEMPORANEA BARILE, PAOLO 1939 - 2000, La grande maggioranza dei documenti copre l'arco cronologico 1960-2000. Inventario a cura di Marta Bonsanti (2019) Biografia. Nasce a Bologna il 10 settembre 1917. Nel 1939 si laurea in giurisprudenza a Roma con il pro- fessor Salvatore Messina e diviene assistente ordinario per gli anni accademici successivi, che peraltro trascorre in servizio militare essendo stato chiamato alle armi nel 1939. Nel 1941 vince il primo posto del concorso in Magistratura ordinaria e prende servizio nel 1943 presso il Tribunale militare di Trieste e successivamente presso il Tribunale di Firenze e poi quello di Pistoia. Dopo aver aderito nel 1941 al movimento liberal-socialista, nel gruppo romano di Federico Comandini, nel 1943 entra nel Partito d'a- zione e nelle file di questo, in seguito al suo rientro a Firenze dopo l'8 settembre, partecipa attivamente alla Resistenza. Tra i dirigenti del Comitato militare del Comitato toscano di liberazione nazionale, nel novembre è catturato insieme ad Adone Zoli ed altri dalla polizia del famigerato Mario Carità; torturato a Villa Triste e portato in ospedale per una pugnalata alla testa, insieme agli altri prigionieri è reclamato dal comando tedesco e trasferito nel carcere militare della Fortezza da Basso. Nonostante le insistenti richieste di fucilazione avanzate dai fascisti come rappresaglia per l'attentato al tenente colonnello Gobbi, Barile e gli altri membri del Comitato militare sono rilasciati con l'obbligo di presentarsi settimanalmente. A Barile si dà alla macchia e riprende la sua attività nella Resistenza fiorentina a fianco degli azionisti.

    Firenze, Italy BACKGROUND INFORMATION PROJECT TITLE Le Murate – Urban Park for Innovation Beneficiary Beneficiary of the funding is the Municipality of Florence as direct manager of the project. Duration of project 2010-2014 (current phase of implementation). The whole redevelopment project was initiated in 1996. Member State Italia, Regione Toscana, Firenze Geographic size The area measures about 13 000 m². The Municipality of Florence has a population of 373 446. Florence FUA 645 000. Florence Polycentric Metropolitan Area 1 090 000. Funding The project in the first phase received funding of about 26 million € from national/local funds for housing. In the current phase: Innovation park: 430 000 € Road link: 260 000 € Total ERDF funding: 690 000 € Operational Operational Programme Tuscany - “POR CReO” (Creativity and Innovation) Programme CCI no: 2007IT162PO012 Priority 5: Making full use of local resources, sustainable development of the territory [about 24.5% of total investment] Managing Authority Regione Toscana Directorate General for Economic Development Via di Novoli 26 I-50127 Firenze Regional level (NUTS 2) Cohesion Policy Obj.

It is Highlighting this case not directed to a typically ‘deprived area’, as Santa Croce is a valuable neighbourhood experiencing global dynamics such as tourism and gentrification, but the area-based concentration of actions and funds aims to balance exclusionary dynamics with provision of affordable social housing, cultural activities, social services and public space. The case study is interesting also because involves a policy framework developed by the Regione Toscana particularly in line with the EU Urban Acquis, which includes an Integrated Plan for Sustainable Urban Development (PIUSS) designed in the framework of the ERDF Operational Programme.

This Group was asked to study the existing situation and, if possible, to explore new means of avoiding the traditional unemployment/employment dilemma and to propose forms of action. The Group's members were MM Bauer (later replaced by Ms Scholle), Edlinger, Kyne and Morgan, Ms Tolonen and Mr Adamczyk for the Chamber of Local Authorities, and MM Grimm, Mihaesi and Suaud and myself for the Chamber of Regions. At its first meeting (Florence, 19 December 1994) the Group appointed me as Chair and asked me to be its rapporteur. It then concentrated on defining a suitable approach to the unemployment problem. It considered the links between the different aspects of the economic transformation which all European countries are currently undergoing: innovation, new technologies and training for the future, especially of young people. In particular, the Group placed special emphasis on the concept of "innovation" and how the public authorities and society at large react to it. It took the view that an international conference should be organised to enable a number of European regions and cities to share their experience and compare the policies they had adopted.
