The Politics of Public Administration Reform in Italy

By: Sabrina Cavatorto,Antonio La Spina

This book provides a stimulating presentation of the Italian administrative system through an empirical and critical perspective on the processes of administrative reform at the national level. It focuses on some of the most recent changes developed during the years of austerity and fiscal crisis and offers an updated perspective on the attempts made by Italian governments to modernize national public administration through the ‘new public management’ and ‘governance’ paradigms. These frameworks have been suggested as models to enhance efficiency, transparency, accountability and public participation. The book studies international and supranational influence, policy diffusion, domestic politics and institutional dynamics, administrative traditions, and functional explanations—all determinants of policy outputs and outcomes, and possibly of policy learning as well. This book is the first to set out such a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis for non-Italian readers.

Non contate su di me

By: Antonio Schiena

Primo è un ragazzo solitario e riservato. Nei momenti più bui della sua vita, si è sempre affidato alla scrittura per sfogarsi e andare avanti. Un giorno però ritrova una lettera scritta dal padre, prima che morisse, e le sue certezze si sgretolano. Deluso da tutto, afferra i suoi appunti e sale sul tetto del palazzo per farne un falò. Qui incontra Futura, una ragazza dall’aria ingenua e indifesa che, in piedi sul parapetto, sta per gettarsi di sotto. Primo non ha la vocazione dell’eroe, anzi il cinismo che lo contraddistingue lo porta a scrollare le spalle di fronte a quella scena, proseguendo nell’intento di bruciare gli scritti che per anni ha custodito nella sua stanza. Futura però aspettava solo qualcuno a cui aggrapparsi. Inizia così a essere una presenza fissa nella vita di Primo, che invece non vuole alcun legame con lei e deve barcamenarsi fra uno strano sentimento non corrisposto per D e il coinquilino, Elia, che si sta lentamente distruggendo a causa del vortice malato in cui il suo compagno Riccardo lo sta trascinando. Quando, una notte, Primo e Futura troveranno il corpo senza vita di una giovane ragazza, Primo capirà che rimanere uniti è l’unica possibilità per affrontare la vicenda e che è arrivato il tempo di agire.

Understanding Organizational Culture

Innovation, Transparency, Leadership, Community

By: Antonio Cocozza

Taking a multidimensional approach, this book sheds light on the evolution of organizational studies in a structured and systematic way, against the background of economic and social changes in recent decades. By doing so, the book focuses on the plurality of organizing models as a central concept. This plurality is important to the survival of the firm in response to the growing complexity of the economic, social, and technological innovation that has arisen as a result of globalization. The book goes beyond the traditional approach to the study of organizations, of a structural and functionalistic type. It investigates the role of cultures and the ethical, symbolic, and value dimensions in the redefinition dynamics of strategic assets, as well as the search for new governance models in innovative organizations. Further, it discusses the role of leadership, in relation to the development of professional groups and the skills necessary for the management of endo-organizational, inter-organizational, and trade union negotiation processes. Finally, the book analyzes the economic, social, and cultural change in societies and discusses how companies and organizations of all types can develop cultures of innovation that may lead to socially inclusive governance. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of economics, business, and the social sciences, as well as professionals and practitioners interested in a better understanding of how organizations function in today’s globalized world.

L'emigrante

By: Elisabetta Randazzo,Antonio Landolina

Le poesie del libro raccontano in maniera accorata tutta l'amarezza, le speranza, i sogni della sua gente di Sicilia. Un richiamo agli odori, ai suoni, ai colori che ci attraggono magneticamente al centro di una dimensione, dove il giallo dei limoni, il marrone di una terra mai domata, il blu delle sue acque si fondono con i rumori ed i suoni, le voci e le grida della città in una sinfonia dove ne escono esaltati i sensi e le emozioni.

Mundunur: A Mountain Village Under the Spell of South Italy

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Mundunur: A Mountain Village Under the Spell of South Italy

By: Michele Antonio Di Marco

Montenero Val Cocchiara is usually referred to simply as Montenero, or Mundunur in the local dialect. Montenero is a typical mountain village on the border of the Abruzzo and Molise regions, but it is more than that. Its history was tinted by contacts with numerous powerful groups over many centuries. The village and its people prove to be unique, but they also are highly embued with elements common to all in South Italy. Of course it is the hope of the author that anyone with roots in South Italy will benefit from reading this book. However, his much greater aspiration is that others will equally enjoy the story of Montenero as a metaphor of their own ancestral village or town, regardless of country or even see the village as a microcosm of the world where the forces of history and culture forge the character of people.

Beyond Pompeii

Archaeology and urban renewal for the vesuvian cultural & tourist district - Archeologia e recupero urbano per il distretto turistico/culturale vesuviano

By: Antonio Franco Mariniello

Between the Vesuvio slopes and the front coastline, there are several archaeological sites of significant cultural and landscape interest, far less popular than Pompei but not less fascinating. These sites, including the ancient towns of Stabiae and Oplontis up until the coastal city of Sorrento, resemble a constellation surrounded by the metropolitan sprawl and lay in the country of the Campania Region like hidden pearls, as the lack of efficient public transport connections makes these destinations difficult to reach for international tourists. This paper, therefore, discusses different ideas for the design of a Cultural and Touristic District, which may improve their accessibility by linking all these archeological sites together with both physical and ICT networks. Back in 2010, such ideas were presented in Castellammare di Stabia International Workshop “Restoring Ancient Stabiae” by a number of scholars from seven Schools of Architecture of both USA and Italian Universities (Maryland UMD, Miami, Oregon, Cornell Univ.; Napoli Federico II, Bari Politecnico, Roma-Sapienza). The main aim of the workshop was to allow actual team working for designing urban requalification and projects of touristic and cultural development, as well as to stimulate debate between local administrators and experts of urban studies, landscape and archaeology. The results achieved by combination of these objectives paved the way for an ambitious goal, that is presenting a realistic scenario of sustainable development based on recovering and exploitation of archeological sites. ANTONIO FRANCO MARINIELLO (1948) is Architect and Full Professor of Architectural and Urban Design at the Departement of Architecture - University of Naples Federico II, Research Director at L.U.P.T. and past member of the PhD board Architectural Composition at the same Faculty of Architecture. He is autor of many works in Architectural Theory and Criticism; furthermore he has published: Questioni di Forma (Napoli 1985), Variazioni-13 esperimenti di Composizione (Napoli 1996), Pre.Testi - sussidiario di Composizione (Napoli 2005).

Inventing the Pizzeria

A History of Pizza Making in Naples

By: Antonio Mattozzi

Pizza is one of the best-known and widely exported Italian foods and yet relatively little is known about its origins in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Myths such as the naming of pizza margherita after the Italian queen abound, but little serious scholarly attention has been devoted to the topic. Eschewing exaggerated fables, this book draws a detailed portrait of the difficulties experienced by the then marginalized class of pizza makers, rather than the ultimate success of their descendants. It provides a unique exploration of the history of pizza making in Naples, offering an archival-based history of the early story of pizza and the establishment of the pizzeria. Touching upon issues of politics, economics and sociology, Inventing the Pizzeria contributes not only to the commercial, social and food history of Italy but also provides an urban history of a major European city, told through one of its most famous edible exports. Originally published in Italian, this English edition is updated with a revised introduction and conclusion, a new preface and additional images and sources.

The modern visitor, who approaches Pompeii two thousand years later, coming not only from another region but from quite another world, can still sense the subtle magic of love that emanates from the wall-paintings of the houses, from the bas-reliefs along the streets, from the graffiti scribbled on the walls of the buildings among which he wanders." -- Introduction.

Architecture for the Screen

A Critical Study of Set Design in Hollywood's Golden Age

By: Juan Antonio Ramírez

Most of us have never found ourselves trapped inside a burning skyscraper or entombed within an Egyptian pyramid--but we probably have some idea of what it would be like because of their portrayal on screen. The movies have overcome the constraints of time and place by bringing us images of diverse and otherwise unfamiliar settings. This work covers the many applications of art and architecture appearing in the movies produced in Hollywood from the very beginning until the fifties. The first chapters deal with the process of design, construction, physical characteristics and immediate functions of a wide variety of architectural sets. The remaining chapters examine the great number of styles shown in those movies and take the reader up to the final triumph of modernist architecture in the aftermath of the Second World War.
