This book shows, for the very first time, how love stories — a vital issue in our lives — can be tentatively described with classical mathematics. Focus is on the derivation and analysis of reliable models that allow one to formally describe the expected evolution of love affairs from the initial state of indifference to the final romantic regime. The models are in full agreement with the basic philosophical principles of love psychology. Eight chapters are theoretically oriented and discuss the romantic relationships between important classes of individuals identified by particular psychological traits. The remaining chapters are devoted to case studies described in classical poems or in worldwide famous films.
This book provides an updated list of the vascular flora of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, incorporating the latest nomenclatural and floristic findings. The list of plants was extrapolated from a geographic database including all data from floristic or vegetational references and herbarium specimens concerning the Park area. This data storage tool was obtained from the database of Abruzzo vascular flora (Conti et al. 2010) and adapted to the study area by adding those areas of the Park falling in the regions of Lazio and Molise and their accompanying floristic and vegetational data. Analysis of the data has allowed gaps in the floristic knowledge of the Park, such as comparatively or completely unexplored areas, to be identified, together with those species records that still require confirmation and/or further study. On the basis of these deductions, fieldwork aimed at the collection of new floristic data was carried out. Verification of the correct identification of herbarium specimens collected in the past, as well as a systematic study of critical genera, were also important priorities.

La coinvolgente storia di Marco e dei suoi amici, che lo accompagnano lungo il percorso che compie, insieme a Sara, verso una vita nuova, nonostante la grave malattia che deve affrontare. Ambientato lungo la valle del Metauro, in un ambiente pieno di storia e di natura intatta, ripercorre il cammino difficile, affrontato con ironia e voglia di vivere, da una condizione di normalità insoddisfacente a una di invalidità pienamente appagante, con un aiuto che viene da lontano nel tempo ma è sempre lì accanto, Margherita.

Pusterla is a contemporary Swiss poet who writes in Italian. This volume is a selection from Pusterla's six most recent books of poetry, published in Italian. The poems create a solid sense of place-mountains, lakes, streams, villages, occasionally a city. They move from precise and delicate observations of creatures, plants, and atmosphere to harshly historical and sociological pieces, wounded by Italy's past and present. They find striking and unpredictable ways into their subjects, often ending on a surprising, crystallized image. And, in the series editors' words, "the translations compel throughout- through their cadence, pacing, assonance, and tactful alliteration-their texture and their touch. The effect of the whole-of the supple verse renderings and the prose poetry- is of lively variety in theme, point of view, and form, and Pusterla/Schutt in this manuscript emerges as an authentic, original, passionate albeit subtle voice.""--
E' la storia di due amanti, desiderosi di stare insieme. Poiché non riescono nel medioevo a coronare il loro sogno d'amore, le loro anime si inseguiranno nel tempo, fino a ritrovarsi. Una storia d'amore, ricca di intrighi, sviluppata ai tempi dei Pitti in Scozia, alla fine del 400. Passando per la Francia pre rivoluzionaria del 1770, fino a giungere ai nostri giorni, in Italia all'interno dello spettacolare scenario che offre la città di Verona. Una leggenda, continui colpi di scena e misteriosi avvenimenti segneranno questa incredibile avventura.
In reconstructing the birth and development of the notion of ‘unconscious’, historians of ideas have heavily relied on the Freudian concept of Unbewussten, retroactively projecting the psychoanalytic unconscious over a constellation of diverse cultural experiences taking place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries between France and Germany. Archaeology of the Unconscious aims to challenge this perspective by adopting an unusual and thought-provoking viewpoint as the one offered by the Italian case from the 1770s to the immediate aftermath of WWI, when Italo Svevo’s La coscienza di Zeno provides Italy with the first example of a ‘psychoanalytic novel’. Italy’s vibrant culture of the long nineteenth century, characterised by the sedimentation, circulation, intersection, and synergy of different cultural, philosophical, and literary traditions, proves itself to be a privileged object of inquiry for an archaeological study of the unconscious; a study whose object is not the alleged ‘origin’ of a pre-made theoretical construct, but rather the stratifications by which that specific construct was assembled. In line with Michel Foucault’s Archéologie du savoir (1969), this volume will analyze the formation and the circulation, across different authors and texts, of a network of ideas and discourses on interconnected themes, including dreams, memory, recollection, desire, imagination, fantasy, madness, creativity, inspiration, magnetism, and somnambulism. Alongside questioning pre-given narratives of the ‘history of the unconscious’, this book will employ the Italian ‘difference’ as a powerful perspective from whence to address the undeveloped potentialities of the pre-Freudian unconscious, beyond uniquely psychoanalytical viewpoints.
Cosa ci fa essere riconoscenti? L'amore? Uno sguardo? Un gesto inaspettato? Questo piccolo racconto è un insieme di tante storie di persone che hanno smesso di dire grazie. Alcuni credono di non averne motivo, altri vanno troppo di fretta e infine molti semplicemente non sanno più farlo. Un impreditore di mezza età, un ragazzo di strada, una ex-moglie, due figli, un travestito, un prostituto, ognuno di loro imparerà a dire grazie, imparerà a essere riconoscente per il momento che sta vivendo, per quell'attimo che non potrà mai essere dimenticato.
