No other European country experienced the disruption of political and everyday life suffered by Italy in the so-called 'years of lead' (1969-c.1983), when there were more than 12,000 incidents of terrorist violence. This experience affected all aspects of Italian cultural life, shaping political, judicial and everyday language as well as artistic representation of every kind. In this innovative and broad-ranging study, experts from the fields of philosophy, history, media, law, cinema, theatre and literary studies trace how the experience and legacies of terrorism have determined the form and content of Italian cultural production and shaped the country's way of thinking about such events?
Modern developments of Random Matrix Theory as well as pedagogical approaches to the standard core of the discipline are surprisingly hard to find in a well-organized, readable and user-friendly fashion. This slim and agile book, written in a pedagogical and hands-on style, without sacrificing formal rigor fills this gap. It brings Ph.D. students in Physics, as well as more senior practitioners, through the standard tools and results on random matrices, with an eye on most recent developments that are not usually covered in introductory texts. The focus is mainly on random matrices with real spectrum.The main guiding threads throughout the book are the Gaussian Ensembles. In particular, Wigner’s semicircle law is derived multiple times to illustrate several techniques (e.g., Coulomb gas approach, replica theory).Most chapters are accompanied by Matlab codes (stored in an online repository) to guide readers through the numerical check of most analytical results.

Since the nineteenth century, Campari has been responsible for some of the most distinctive and innovative commercial imagery created in Italy. Founded in Milan in 1860, the company quickly began to pursue a dynamic approach to marketing its products, harnessing the new power of the advertising poster. Aiming to create a sophisticated brand, Campari worked with some of the most celebrated designers of the early 1900s, including Leonetto Cappiello, Marcello Dudovich, Adolf Hohenstein, and Marcello Nizzoli. It was, however, the ground-breaking campaigns created by the Futurist artist Fortunato Depero that became Campari's most celebrated commissions. From the mid-1920s, his bold, witty and geometric designs modernised Campari's look, creating an unmistakable visual identity; his designs were also the basis of the famous conical Campari Soda bottle, launched in 1932. Depero's belief that the publicity poster would be 'the painting of the future' continued to inform Campari's post-war commissions, which included elegant and vibrant designs epitomising the spirit of the 'Swinging Sixties'. Drawn from the company's extensive archives in Milan, the show features Belle Époque posters and original artwork for the revolutionary campaigns of the 1920s, in addition to equally striking examples of post-war graphic design and a range of vintage crates, glasses, plaques and other ephemera. Exhibition: Estorick Collection, London, UK (4.7 - 16.9.2018).
Tomas Milian attore di origini cubane di indubbio talento e di grande preparazione (Actors Studio a New York) ha recitato per i più importanti registi italiani. Ma per il pubblico Tomas Milian è il mitico e indimenticabile protagonista dei film polizieschi che hanno segnato la storia del cinema di genere in Italia. Una molteciplità di personaggi, dal commissarrio al bandito, dall'ispettore al trucido, sino a "Er Monnezza", tutti interpretati con la stessa naturalezza ed efficacia, con uno stile caparbio e autorevole da renderlo inconfondibile e inimitabile. Il cubano di Cinecittà ha aperto negli anni 60 e chiuso negli anni 80 la lunga stagione del genere poliziesco, che senza la sua presenza sarebbe stato innegabilmente più povero. Attraverso tutta la sua filmografia, impreziosita di immagini di manifesti cinematografici originali e rare foto in e fuori scena, questo libro ripercorre il cammino di questo attore-icona impareggiabile, con l'accompagnamento musicale di un CD che contiene una selezione dei più importanti brani musicali tratti dalle colonne sonore dei suoi film.
