This paper aims to present an unedited original autograph letter by the orientalist Eugenio Griffini preserved in the Angela Codazzi Collection at the Central Municipal Library in Milan, known as Sormani Library. The letter, dated January 5, 1922, was written by Eugenio Griffini during his stay in Egypt as librarian and archivist at the court of King Aḥmad Fuʾād I and was addressed to Angela Codazzi. The study focuses on the translation of the text of the letter from Arabic into Italian and on the analysis of some of the most significant terms and expressions contained therein.

While the effects of the remotisation of work during the pandemic have been largely explored in the literature, little has been written on how remote work is used in the post-pandemic phase. Moreover, although the literature has mainly focused on the effects of remote work on the organisation of labour and individual experiences, we argue that to understand the ongoing changes, it is necessary to analyse the organisational contexts in which these processes are taking place. In this regard, the perspective of trade unions is a valuable tool for comparing the experiences within different organisational contexts and reflecting on emerging challenges and opportunities. Based on empirical data collected in the metropolitan area of Milan, the paper explores the extent to which companies and trade unions are pushing to maintain the use of this working method or, rather, pressing to return to working on-site. It also identifies some factors that explain the different positions on the issue. Our analysis stresses that the prevailing working modality can be defined as «hybrid», as it combines both days of face-to-face work with others carried out remotely, which has many consequences for both companies' and unions' activities. In this phase of transition, trade unions find themselves tense between the desire of workers to continue working remotely at all costs and the awareness of the risks that remote work represents in terms of rights protection and bargaining capacities.

Eight letters of Symmachus's correspondence are the only sources for the senatorial embassy that in 402, in the middle of Alaric's first invasion of Italy, arrived at the court of Milan. The motivations and the outcomes of this legatio are unknown. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the historical and social setting that led the Roman aristocracy to feel the urgency to talk with the emperor Honorius and his regent Stilicho. Besides Symmachus' letters, two sources are examined: Claudian's verses on the Gothic invasion and the epigraphic evidence for the restoration of the Aurelian wall. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

So far, food-delivery riders have been addressed in reference to broad socio-economic processes related to the diffusion of digital labour platforms. Adopting a dispositional approach, this paper frames the rider’s occupation as a specific and openended occupation. We try to shed light on the dynamics of differentiation and positioning within this occupational space, thus recomposing its heterogeneity. The article is based on a mixed-methods research carried out in Milan in 2020, centred on an “observant participation” of seven months, during which the researcher worked as a rider.

The conversion of the urban economy in a creative and knowledge industry dimension required a strong strategic investment in improving the attractiveness of cities, focusing, above all, on young talents. Such a process happened without considering the distance between high cultural capital and low economic capital of this population which, from the housing point of view, translates into extreme fragility, showing the issue of affordability in all its contradictions. The outbreak of the pandemic has exposed social and housing weakness of young talents who represent the new urban vulnerability of post-industrial cities. The paper is based on empirical research carried out during the first lockdown on a sample of newcomer families residing in Milan since less than 5 years, aimed at understanding how this population experienced the emergency phase between 30 April and 24 May 2020. The results highlight aspects of economic fragility and social isolation due to the lack of social networks in the neighborhood. At the same time, however, in times of crisis there is a significant increase of relationships, interactions and exchanges between subjects, more likely to create or enhance a sense of intersubjective solidarity. Furthermore, for many new residents the experience of confinement in the attractive city triggered a process of change of future residential preferences, assuming new possible scenarios in the postpandemic city.
