Pur essendo uno dei più decantati centri storici della Calabria, noto non solo per le sue bellezze paesaggistiche, ma sopratutto per il mito omerico che l'ha resa famosa in tutto il mondo, non si conosce molto sulla storia urbana di Scilla, a partire dal nesso che lega il mito ai luoghi, al rapporto esistente tra i luoghi e le sue architetture, alla loro storia, alle loro trasformazioni e le diverse facies che hanno caratterizzato le polarità del suo impianto urbano, mutando continuamente il suo volto fino alla formazione di quello attuale. Integrando, approfondendo, collegando e riorganizzando la gran messe di documenti raccolti e accumulati in anni di ricerca, le riflessioni sedimentate e le conoscenze maturate, il volume ricostruisce le trasformazioni del centro storico di Scilla, a partire dalle sue origini fino al XX secolo, mediante anche l'analisi interpretativa dei tessuti edilizi e lo studio delle trasformazioni delle principali polarità urbane e delle emergenze architettoniche che li conformano.

In the late Middle Ages, Italy was one of the most urbanized areas in Europe. Its coasts, the Apennines, the perialpine area and the plains were all home to a large number of smaller towns, lands, villages, castra, and 'quasi cites'. These settlements were all very diverse in terms of demographic consistency, social articulation and economic dynamism, but together they constituted a characteristic and constitutive element of the Italian historical identity: an 'original personality'. This volume, thanks to some framing essays and a mapping of individual cases involving most of the northern, central and southern regions, aims at investigating the active research on this topic over the last thirty to forty years.

Nel momento in cui l’Europa attraversa una crisi che appare al contempo politica e spirituale, Pierre Manent propone agli europei un illuminante percorso attraverso i momenti fondatori, i concetti orientativi e i più autorevoli interpreti della loro storia. Per riportare alla luce le ondate che accompagnano invisibilmente la turbolenta navigazione dell’uomo moderno, Manent esamina l’esperienza originaria della polis greca, il perdurante enigma delle trasformazioni di Roma e il rapporto tra le città degli uomini e la questione di Dio ravvivando imparzialmente il dialogo con Omero e Aristotele, Cicerone e Agostino, Machiavelli e Montesquieu, Montaigne e Rousseau. Per ritrovare i termini esatti del problema umano, il filosofo francese rinnova la discussione del nesso tra l’univer- sale e la mediazione, la scienza e l’azione, l’uomo e il cittadino. Si tratta per Manent di considerare la dinamica occidentale e la situazione pre- sente alla luce della più completa comprensione del comune e del governo degli uomini. La successione e la dialettica tra le forme politiche (Città, Impero, Chiesa e Nazione) che questo libro ricostruisce delineano così una prospettiva in cui l’incessante movimento dell’umanità odierna è ricondotto all’interno della più ampia e adeguata questione della vera comunità universale, o delle fonti e dei criteri dell’operazione umana: le metamorfosi della città sono a ben vedere le esperienze in cui l’umanità ha pensato, governato e dunque realizzato se stessa, cercando la legge e la cornice della propria azione. Attraverso lo sguardo che Manent offre agli europei il mondo non si mostra più un «processo» autonomo, irresistibile e creatore di «valori» o di «immagini», bensì il luogo intelligibile del confronto tra possibilità politiche e versioni dell’universale che occorre ancora meditare e incarnare.

Never before has research into the benefits and drawbacks of the Chinese migration to Prato in Tuscany been presented so comprehensively in English. The recent influx of Chinese to the longstanding textile manufacturing and wholesale businesses in Prato has stirred strong emotions in the host culture and among the new arrivals alike. The breadth of the coverage of this publication is demonstrated by the full range of perspectives focused on the economic and social dilemmas being experienced. A wide range of points of view are elucidated -- the concerns of the local commune, the factory labourers, the traders, economists, Italian nationalists, Italian bureaucrats, Chinese provincial government, demographers, urban planners, academics, community developers, industry analysts, cultural observers, labour market analysts, media commentators, social planners, students, and social geographers.

By the second decade of the fifteenth century Venice had established an empire in Italy extending from its lagoon base to the lakes, mountains, and valleys of the northwestern part of the peninsula. The wealthiest and most populous part of this empire was the city of Brescia which, together with its surrounding territory, lay in a key frontier zone between the politically powerful Milanese and the economically important Germans. Venetian governance there involved political compromise and some sensitivity to local concerns, and Brescians forged their distinctive civic identity alongside a strong Venetian cultural presence. Based on archival, artistic, and architectural evidence, Stephen Bowd presents an innovative microhistory of a fascinating, yet historically neglected city. He shows how Brescian loyalty to Venice was repeatedly tested by a succession of disasters: assault by Milanese forces, economic downturn, demographic collapse, and occupation by French and Spanish armies intent on dismembering the Venetian empire. In spite of all these troubles the city experienced a cultural revival and a dramatic political transformation under Venetian rule, which Bowd describes and uses to illuminate the process of state formation in one of the most powerful regions of Renaissance Italy.

CONCRETE CITY “Armelle Choplin’s Concrete City weaves a novel and engaging analysis of urbanization by tracing the journeys of cement and people making urban life in West Africa. From post-independence high modernist ambitions to building the opportunities to make a living, the emerging transnational corridor along the West African coast provides a starting point for insights which will expand and inform understanding of both established and newly emerging urbanization processes in many different contexts.” —Jennifer Robinson, Professor of Geography, University College of London, UK “In this very innovative and superbly illustrated book, Armelle Choplin makes cement vibrant with affect, politics, economic interests and cultural meanings. She takes us to a fascinating journey along the West African urban corridor following the social life of concrete and showing how this material shapes contemporary urbanization and everyday life.” —Ola Söderström, Professor of Geography, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland Concrete City: Material Flows and Urbanization in West Africa delivers a theoretically informed, ethnographic exploration of the African urban world through the life of concrete. Emblematic of frenetic urban and capitalistic development, this material is pervasive, shaping contemporary urban landscapes and societies and their links to the global world. It stands and circulates at the heart of major financial investments, political forces and environmental debates. At the same time, it epitomises values of modernity and success, redefining social practices, forms of dwelling and living, and popular imaginaries. The book invites the reader to follow bags of cement from production plant to construction site, along the 1000-kilometre urban corridor that links Abidjan to Accra, Lomé, Cotonou and Lagos, combining the perspectives of cement tycoons, entrepreneurs and political stakeholders, but also of ordinary men and women who plan, build and dream of the Concrete City. With this innovative exploration of urban life through concrete, Armelle Choplin delivers a fascinating journey into and reflection on the sustainability of our urban futures.

The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity is the first comprehensive reference book covering every aspect of history, culture, religion, and life in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East (including the Persian Empire and Central Asia) between the mid-3rd and the mid-8th centuries AD, the era now generally known as Late Antiquity. This period saw the re-establishment of the Roman Empire, its conversion to Christianity and its replacement in the West by Germanic kingdoms, the continuing Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Sassanian Empire, and the rise of Islam. Consisting of over 1.5 million words in more than 5,000 A-Z entries, and written by more than 400 contributors, it is the long-awaited middle volume of a series, bridging a significant period of history between those covered by the acclaimed Oxford Classical Dictionary and The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages. The scope of the Dictionary is broad and multi-disciplinary; across the wide geographical span covered (from Western Europe and the Mediterranean as far as the Near East and Central Asia), it provides succinct and pertinent information on political history, law, and administration; military history; religion and philosophy; education; social and economic history; material culture; art and architecture; science; literature; and many other areas. Drawing on the latest scholarship, and with a formidable international team of advisers and contributors, The Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity aims to establish itself as the essential reference companion to a period that is attracting increasing attention from scholars and students worldwide.

The 8th International Symposium "Monitoring of Mediterranean Coastal Areas. Problems and Measurements Techniques" was organized by CNR-IBE in collaboration with FCS Foundation, and Natural History Museum of the Mediterranean and under the patronage of University of Florence, Accademia dei Geogofili, Tuscany Region and Livorno Province. It is the occasion in which scholars can illustrate and exchange their activities and innovative proposals, with common aims to promote actions to preserve coastal marine environment. Considering Symposium interdisciplinary nature, the Scientific Committee, underlining this holistic view of Nature, decided to celebrate Alexander von Humboldt; a nature scholar that proposed the organic and inorganic nature’s aspects as a single system. It represents a sign of continuity considering that in-presence Symposium could not be carried out due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Subjects are related to coastal topics: morphology; flora and fauna; energy production; management and integrated protection; geography and landscape, cultural heritage and environmental assets, legal and economic aspects.
