I Campi di Raccolta Profughi dell’esodo giuliano-fiumano-dalmata fra abbandono e riconversione: una questione attuale

The Istrian-Dalmatian exodus, which took place from 1943 to 1958, represented a process of abandonment, which involved approximately 300.000 people forced to migrate from Istria, Fiume and Dalmatia, due to the transition of these territories from the Italian Kingdom to the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, formalized by the Paris Peace Treaty (10th February 1947) and by the Memorandum of Understanding of London (5th October 1954).The Italian Government dealt with accepting and housing such a large crowd of compatriots, who were escaping from the oppression by Tito, by opting to relocate people all over Italy, in more than one hundred Refugees Camps (CRP). CRPs were organized in existing buildings which were frequently already abandoned. With the end of this emergency and with the distribution to exiles to permanent accommodations in several Italian cities, CRP were abandoned once again, questioning which their next role would be in the context and in the landscape.This paper wants to illustrate the stories of transformation of some of the CRPs, within a wider recognition in terms of original function (military buildings, religious buildings, educational buildings, prison camps, others and purpose-built CRP) and in terms of the current state of conservation (state of neglect, memorial role, demolition/removal, reuse, maintenance of previous use and permanent placement). I Campi di Raccolta Profughi dell’esodo giuliano-fiumano-dalmata fra abbandono e riconversione: una questione attualeL’esodo giuliano-fiumano-dalmata, verificatosi dal 1943 al 1958, ha rappresentato un processo di abbandono che ha coinvolto circa 300.000 persone, costrette a emigrare da Istria, Fiume e Dalmazia, in relazione alla cessione di queste terre dal Regno d’Italia alla Repubblica Socialista Federale di Jugoslavia, formalizzata con il Trattato di Parigi (10 febbraio 1947) e con il Memorandum d’intesa di Londra (5 ottobre 1954).Il Governo Italiano ha gestito l’accoglienza di una grande massa di connazionali in fuga dall’oppressione titina, optando per la dispersione degli esuli in più di cento Centri di Raccolta Profughi (CRP) in tutte le regioni italiane; i CRP vennero organizzati in strutture preesistenti che erano, in diversi casi, già soggette ad abbandono. Con la fine dell’emergenza e l’assegnazione degli alloggi definitivi in varie città italiane, i CRP vennero nuovamente abbandonati, rimettendo in questione il loro ruolo nei diversi contesti e all’interno del paesaggio.Il contributo si propone di ripercorrere le storie di trasformazione di alcuni Centri di Raccolta Profughi, nell’ambito di una più ampia ricognizione e sistematizzazione sulla base della destinazione d’uso originaria (edifici militari, religiosi, educativi, campi di prigionia, altro, CRP costruiti ad hoc) e dell’attuale stato di conservazione e di uso (stato di abbandono, funzione commemorativa, perdita/rimozione, riuso, mantenimento della funzione precedente, sistemazione definitiva).L’esodo giuliano-fiumano-dalmata, verificatosi dal 1943 al 1958, ha rappresentato un processo di abbandono che ha coinvolto circa 300.000 persone, costrette a emigrare da Istria, Fiume e Dalmazia, in relazione alla cessione di queste terre dal Regno d’Italia alla Repubblica Socialista Federale di Jugoslavia, formalizzata con il Trattato di Parigi (10 febbraio 1947) e con il Memorandum d’intesa di Londra (5 ottobre 1954).Il Governo Italiano ha gestito l’accoglienza di una grande massa di connazionali in fuga dall’oppressione titina, optando per la dispersione degli esuli in più di cento Centri di Raccolta Profughi (CRP) in tutte le regioni italiane; i CRP vennero organizzati in strutture preesistenti che erano, in diversi casi, già soggette ad abbandono.

Treatment of Advanced Parkinson's Disease

Patients at late stage Parkinson's disease (PD) develop several motor and nonmotor complications, which dramatically impair their quality of life. These complications include motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, unpredictable or absent response to medications, falls, dysautonomia, dementia, hallucinations, sleep disorders, depression, and psychosis. The therapeutic management should be driven by the attempt to create a balance between benefit and side effects of the pharmacological treatments available. Supportive care, including physical and rehabilitative interventions, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing care, has a key role in the late stage of disease. In this review we discuss the several complications experienced by advance PD patients and their management. The importance of an integrative approach, including both pharmacological and supportive interventions, is emphasized

Chapter Il rilievo di strada tra conoscenza e valorizzazione urbana: via dei Papareschi a Roma

The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences
