Architetture nel tempo represents the awareness of the duration, permanence and authenticity of places along the centuries and in their continuous contemporaneity, entrusted to the preservation which ...passes on to the future, to the dialogue between ancient and modern architecture and to the restoration project. Therefore, they are not only excellent artefacts, but also everyday architectures, artefacts born of necessity as well as of symbolic and grandiloquent will, which have however survived the passing of time in order to acquire the right to become memory and future, in order to exhibit a citizenship which is equally recognized at the borders of past and present, in order to become that material for history which, through research and investigation in the field, turns itself into history.

The volume analyses the representation of ceramic artefacts appearing in some Tuscan artistic works dating back to the 14th and 15th century and aims to combine the data emerging from iconographic ...sources with those relating to material and written documentation. It also aims to grasp the potential of iconography, trying to understand the extent to which it is possible to identify archaeologically well-defined cultural areas; it also attempts to establish whether the representations of specific details of everyday life correspond to a realistic description of everyday life itself, or rather are a reflection of feelings of curiosity, amazement, ambition or appreciation for the beauty of the objects. The study highlights how iconography is able to integrate our knowledge on the medieval ceramic productions and on the social context of use of specific vascular forms and types.
Since the time of the Grand Tour, the Italian region of Tuscany has sustained a highly visible American and Anglo migrant community. Today American women continue to migrate there, many in order to ...marry Italian men. Confronted with experiences of social exclusion, unfamiliar family relations, and new cultural terrain, many women struggle to build local lives. In the first ethnographic monograph of Americans in Italy, Catherine Trundle argues that charity and philanthropy are the central means by which many American women negotiate a sense of migrant belonging in Italy. This book traces women's daily acts of charity as they gave food to the poor, fundraised among the wealthy, monitored untrustworthy recipients, assessed the needy, and reflected on the emotional work that charity required. In exploring the often-ignored role of charitable action in migrant community formation, Trundle contributes to anthropological theories of gift giving, compassion, and reflexivity.

This book is the result of the processing of the excavation data and of the pottery coming from the stratigraphy underneath the cathedral of Siena. The surveys were conducted between August 2000 and ...May 2003 by the Department of Archaeology and History of Arts of the University of Siena, with the scientific coordination of Prof. Riccardo Francovich and Prof. Marco Valenti and the collaboration of the Opera del Duomo di Siena. The ultimate goal is to trace a view of the settlement types and economic framework that has affected the hill of the Cathedral from the Classical age to the late Middle Ages, combining stratigraphic data and the study of materials. The limited planimetric extension of the excavations (often physiological to urban contexts) did not allow an investigation in open area, so the findings have often been compared with those coming from the deposits investigated in the immediate vicinity, both in front and below the Santa Maria della Scala, in order to obtain a more complete and articulated perspective on a diachronic context. The stratigraphy is developed over a time span ranging from the 7th century BC until the 20th century AD, unearthing a very structured sequence that represents a significant view in understanding the evolutionary dynamics of the urban fabric of Siena: in this regard, it is important to emphasize the fact that the chronological junction on which most attention is focused on is between the Augustian Age and the end of the 14th century, since the survey revealed that the archaeological deposit is better preserved in the time period between the two phases mentioned above and, as a result, the restitution of ceramics has been more complete. The settlement/economic dynamics developed over this extended period in different ways and this is what we are going to analyse: the goal is to develop a dialogue between stratigraphic deposit and material culture, with the aim of understanding the evolution of an urban reality, especially in those phases that led to the crisis of the “classical" city and its consequent transformation and reconfiguration between Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages.
Heute spielen sich juristische Recherchen primär in Datenbanken ab. Aber auch frühere Juristinnen und Juristen schafften Ordnungssysteme, die sie bei der Suche nach Präzedenzfällen und Urteilen ...unterstützten. Der Beitrag beschreibt zwei mit hohem Aufwand zusammengetragene analoge Vorläufer von Entscheidungsdatenbanken, die um die Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert zusammengestellt wurden. Nicht zuletzt enthalten diese auch ein bibliothekswissenschaftlich bemerkenswertes, frühes Beispiel für einen Schlagwortkatalog.
Italian advertising photographer Oliviero Toscani lives and works with his family in a former farm house in Tuscany. He grows wine and olives there and breeds horses. It is the electorate of the ...Milanese who spent the holidays of his childhood here.
Der italienische Werbefotograf Oliviero Toscani wohnt und arbeitet mit seiner Familie in einem ehemaligen Bauernhaus in der Toskana. Er baut dort Wein und Oliven an und züchtet Pferde. Es ist die Wahlheimat des Mailänders, der hier die Ferien seiner Kindheit verbrachte.
The study examines a vast panorama of the policies on which depend the living and working conditions of young people. Measures were examined that can be enacted on a regional level starting from the ...concrete experience of 6 Regional Governments in as many European countries. The book shows that a true “Youth Guarantee” must guarantee support for the complexity of the transitions that characterise young person’s life and shows how this must be adapted to the different conditions the various segments of young population live in. The wealth and variety of concrete experiences offered by regional policies show how it is possible to activate public ations that, having adequate ingredients, will be able to lessen the negative effects of the economic crisis and allow young people to take one step ahead at any time in their private and professional life.
The book deals with both a reconstruction of Tuscan family books' evolution and persistency, and several aspects of social history: reading and private libraries, domestic devotion, the memory of ...historical events. Starting with the Renaissance, the investigation broadens to the 17th-18th centuries and other forms of memory: private diaries and autobiographies. A final section is dedicated to the issue of memory in the egodocuments of early modern Europe.
