L’intégration par l’art

La façade de l’ancien cinéma L’Étoile de La Courneuve ressemble davantage à celle d’un théâtre qu’à un cinéma. Françoise et Pierrette Martin-Perolino, deux membres de la famille de ses bâtisseurs s’y retrouvent pour raconter son histoire. Pierrette est la petite-fille de Pierre Martin-Perolino à l’initiative de la construction de ce bâtiment, Françoise de l’un de ses frères. Elles sont accueillies par Maria Gomez directrice du Centre dramatique de La Courneuve qui, jusqu’à ce jour, a investi ..

Lettere alle “tre amiche”

This volume presents the letters (approximately 600) that Scipio Slataper wrote between late 1909 and December 1915 to his “three friends” from Trieste, Anna Pulitzer, Gigetta (Luisa) Carniel, and Elody Oblath. These letters bring to light complex existential and intellectual storylines: of friendship, love, and pain, of the search of the purpose of life, cultural commitment, and artistic creation

Quand la passion du cirque se décline en famille : l’Académie Fratellini ou la transmission d’une tradition italienne

Le cirque doit beaucoup à l’Italie et beaucoup doivent les clowns à la Commedia dell’Arte. Les plus grands artistes de la première moitié du XXe siècle ont célébré les Fratellini, trois frères d’origine italienne qui ont révolutionné l’histoire des clowns en constituant, en 1910, le légendaire trio qui portait leur nom. La passion de ces trois artistes, généreux et infatigables travailleurs, se transmet aujourd’hui aux nouvelles générations au sein de l’Académie Fratellini, basée à La Plaine ..

Refraction during incipient presbyopia:the Aston Longitudinal Assessment of Presbyopia (ALAP) study

Purpose: To investigate non-cycloplegic changes in refractive error prior to the onset of presbyopia. Methods: The Aston Longitudinal Assessment of Presbyopia (ALAP) study is a prospective 2.5 year longitudinal study, measuring objective refractive error using a binocular open-field WAM-5500 autorefractor at 6-month intervals in participants aged between 33 and 45 years. Results: From the 58 participants recruited, 51 participants (88%) completed the final visit. At baseline, 21 participants were myopic (MSE -3.25 ± 2.28 DS; baseline age 38.6 ± 3.1 years) and 30 were emmetropic (MSE −0.17 ± 0.32 DS; baseline age 39.0 ± 2.9 years). After 2.5 years, 10% of the myopic group experienced a hypermetropic shift (≥0.50 D), 5% a myopic shift (≥0.50 D) and 85% had no significant change in refraction (<0.50 D). From the emmetropic group, 10% experienced a hypermetropic shift (≥0.50 D), 3% a myopic shift (≥0.50 D) and 87% had no significant change in refraction (<0.50 D). In terms of astigmatism vectors, other than J45 (p < 0.001), all measures remained invariant over the study period. Conclusion: The incidence of a myopic shift in refraction during incipient presbyopia does not appear to be as large as previously indicated by retrospective research. The changes in axis indicate ocular astigmatism tends towards the against-the-rule direction with age. The structural origin(s) of the reported myopic shift in refraction during incipient presbyopia warrants further investigation

Il mio Carso

L'opera di Scipio Slataper \ue8 uno dei pi\uf9 significativi scritti in prosa del primo Novecento italiano. Si \ue8 riprodotta fedelmente la prima edizione (Libreria della Voce, 1912), l'unica corretta dall'autore. Il testo \ue8 corredato da note e da una prefazione nella quale si offre una guida alla lettura dell'opera, in modo da renderla fruibile anche da un lettore non esperto come gli studenti della scuola secondaria

Cefalonia: una storia non condivisa

Cephalonia: a non-shared History The armistice of 8th September 1943 causes the disintegration of the Italian army. In Athens, the Commander of Italian troops in Greece, in contravention of the provisions of Rome, signs the surrender to the Nazis on 9th September. In Chephalonia, the commander of the garrison tries to obtain repatriation of the Acqui division without bloodshed. His behavior is ambiguous but, forced by the attitude of the troops and the order to resist from Rome, he opposes the German requests. After seven days of fighting, the Acqui division surrenders and, following the order given by Hitler in person, the Germans begin shooting the soldiers and most of the officers, including the Commander. Once the war is over, an operation is organized to defend the Commander’s memory from the accusation of excessive surrender to the enemy and serious errors in conducting the fight. Investigations and court proceedings follow, which provide material for a distorted reconstruction of the events that took place on the island. The article examines the causes of these manipulations
