This paper discusses the Association of Amateurs of Photography in Rome (founded in 1888 and active until about 1922) and its Bulletin (published between May 1889 and February 1896). Similarly to other societies and periodicals abroad, both played a significant role in the modernization of Italian photographic culture at the turn of the 20th century. Based on contemporary bibliographic sources, the paper reconstructs the Association’s genesis, goals and organization, as well as the Bulletin’s importance for the dissemination of technical information and new ideas about the medium.

This paper illustrates the attempts to limit power in Russia between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the tradition of the Byzantine origins of the imperial autocracy. The direct link between the ancient authority of Byzantium and the authority of the tsars in the modern age would have made the muscovite ruler very resilient. The author argues that the characteristics of the autocratic power may have lead to the failure of the efforts to reduce it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper investigates the subtle play of references related to each character name variation, based on crucial points in the plot. Galateo, the title of the work, derives from the Latinized name of the dedicatee, Galeazzo Florimonte. This is in line with the Ciceronian habit in vogue in the sixteenth century consisting of the use of an anthroponym inserted in the title. Galeazzo Florimonte - bishop of Aquino and Sessa Aurunca, Casa's friend during the years he lived in Rome, whose Libro delle inezie is an essential point of Della Casa's volume - also appears as a real, historical figure. Finally, there is Galateo, the fictional character who comes to life and intersects the story line, becoming an integral part of it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper surveys the use that some Greek authors of the Roman imperial period made of the name "Marathon' and of what this name entailed. The works of Plutarch, Lucian, Aelius Aristides, Pausanias, Athenaeus or Polemon belong to different literary genres and are also diverse in their purpose, but all these authors and their public share a rhetorical and literary education stemming from the Greek paideia. The interest of our analysis lies in finding out meaning, objectives, or intentions of these Greek authors by referring in their own time, the first centuries AD, when Rome already held political power over the Greek world, to the glorious Greek past that Marathon represents.

This article discusses a line from Ennius' Annales describing the position from which Remus took the auspices at the founding of the city of Rome (74Sk.). It is unmetrical. This paper outlines the scholarly history of the problem and proposes an old conjecture for reconsideration that points to a mythological variant and some possible literary echoes.

The paper presents a GIS platform for the management of archaeological warehouses located in the territory of the IV Municipality of Rome. The need to create a GIS was owed to the distribution of archaeological material in at least 15 different stores. The contents and provenance of the boxes and their archaeological material have been recorded. A GIS platform has been developed, based on QGIS Desktop (version 3.0) and a geodatabase built on PostgreSQL/ PostGIS. As a cartographic base, both the existing cartography in the WMS format and the free downloadable cartography in .shp format were used. Further, a single table was created, merging the existing tables of different formats from the various warehouses examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper presents the relationship of the poet, writer and translator Zoltán Jékely (1913-1982) with Italy and Italian culture, focusing on his two prolonged stays in Rome. In 1940 and in 1948, Jékely had an opportunity to spend a few months at the Hungarian Academy in Rome. His hitherto unpublished diaries and correspondence, forming part of the legacy, allow us not only to reconstruct the events during those stays but also to assess their influence on him. The paper highlights events to which the author attributed a special, spiritual significance. Throughout his life, and especially while travelling, Jékely was careful to register signals directed at him, events whose importance transcended everyday life, and was personally touched by the hidden beauties of the cities he visited.

In this paper is shown a review of the Istat works about the themes of inclusion, exclusion and social inequalities. The main results of a survey carried out in 2013-2015, and the approaches followed are presented. This survey investigated the existing data sources and metadata about Roma populations. The need to establish a statistical working group on data relating to the Roma population is explained, as foreseen in the implementation of the Strategy. The activity of this working group aims to provide the guidelines for collecting and processing data concerning the Roma populations together with the institutions and public bodies involve, as well as to harmonize data and existing metadata and systematizatize data sources. Moreover, the Istat survey, which aims to analyze the existing data on housing transitions, is presented. The last goal is part of the agreement with Unar of March 1 2018, and is taking place in recent months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on processes of social inclusion/exclusion of four different Roma groups living in Apulia, in Southern Italy: a) Italian Roma living in some municipalities in the province of Lecce; b) Roma Xoraxane currently residing in a settlement ("Campo Sosta") in Lecce; c) some romanian Roma living in emergency housing conditions in Lecce; d) a group of Bulgarian Roma employed in seasonal agricultural work in the province of Foggia, under exploitative conditions. The essay aims to highlight the way in which the inclusion/exclusion conditions are politically and socially constructed, affecting different Roma groups present on the same territory. Starting from such cases, the paper inquires into the possible influence of policies-making, processes of social interaction and socio-economic changes on social and territorial inclusion/exclusion of different Roma groups.

In the Shepherd of Hermas, a Christian apocalypse from the 2nd century, the narrator sees his first two visions after departing from Rome «unto villages» (εἰς κώμας: 1,3; 5,1). For a long time, a number of scholars have regarded that phrase as a textual corruption for εἰς Κούμας, meaning that Hermas was travelling to Cume, a small town in Campania. The latter phrase is not attested as such by any witness of the Shepherd, but it can be inferred from both ancient Latin translations of the work. Scholars are still divided on this issue. The present paper aims at showing that the conjecture εἰς Κούμας should be retained, despite the sound general rule that attested readings have to be preferred as far as possible.

Scholars of late antique art commonly and uncritically accept that the Revelation provided the source for late antique church decoration. They rarely discuss the extent to which this text served as a basis for the vivid iconographies typical of late antique ecclesiastical décor. This paper explores how the imagery of Revelation impacted on late antique mosaic programs, considering as a crucial case study the triumphal arch of the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore at Rome and, particularly, the motif of precious stones and jewels so frequent on several elements of the decoration. The latter also appears on a cornice, a jeweled band which later spread in the art of the whole empire, both in church and -- what is less known -- secular contexts. This motif will be explored first in a visual perspective and then defining its value in the culture of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay, prompted by the appearance of four new volumes on early Rome, all associated with the anthropo- logical school of Maurizio Bettini in Siena, seeks to find a space between the current competing methodologies of historians, topographers, archaeologists and anthropologists. The value of a more anthropological approach is to focus on the operation of mythical thinking as a more indirect and symbolic representation of reality. The conditions in which the Roman account of themselves was forged, from the orientalizing to the middle Republic, were a period of immense political, social and intellectual change. This essay proposes some reasons why we should focus less on the irrecoverable historicity of the individual kings, and look instead at some ways in which the myth of kingship may have helped Rome navigate a period of enormous transformation.

The author analyzes (in the perspective of ritual liminality) the iconography of the fragmentary frescoes found at the archeological site of the church in Derven (Kruja, uncovered in 2007 and lost in 2008). Once the scarcity of the apse's theme is verified (Deesis: Mary Kyriotissa and Child in her arms between Saints Peter and Paul), the author evaluates mid-fourteenth century stylistic comparisons in the Balkan area, as well as details of west-Adriatic influence. The proposed interpretation is linked to a progressive orientation of Albanian feudal lords towards Roman obedience, in light of the documents and the renewed worship of apostolic princes Peter and Paul's relics (holy heads) translated in 1369 in the papal cathedral of St. John Lateran in Rome. Pope Urban V promoted such worship - coinciding with the progressive return of the papal Holy See from Avignon to Rome - in an effort to strengthen the prestige of Petrine primacy.

The essay aims to add to "Imago"'s main issue a personal reflection on the use (and counter-use) of found footage materials, on meta-language and the rethinking of personal life elements in "creative documentary". The author, a film scholar and a filmmaker as well, presents and discusses his own three case studies: An Idea of Freedom. Rosario Villari and Us, My Obsession with the Waters, and L'elmo forte. One hindred years of Giuseppe Zagarrio. The three documentaries are three portraits of human beings: an historian, a filmmaker and a poet; all the three films use a large amount of found material (home movies, web images, old films by the author, re-cycled and re-edited after 40 years) to narrate pure History, cultural history and film history. The films (two already edited, one in progress), co-produce by University of Rome 3, are a unique opportunity for the author to reflect on his own life, on his idea of cinema, on such topics as gender (and transgender), ideology, cinematic apparatus and alternative modes of production.

The contribution presents the radicality of the daily experiences of LGBTQ people who live non-monogamous relationships in the mononormative context of Italian society; of lesbian and bisexual mothers who clash with the monomaternalism synthesised by the Italian saying “di mamma ce n’è una sola”; of LGBQ friends who choose to live together as a life choice, challenging the heteronormativity of the stages that mark adulthood and the precariousness that characterises Southern Europe. Such radical choices are made possible by the construction of networks of care and friendship that are not contemplated by the Mediterranean welfare and that are analysed here through the narratives collected in Rome during the ERC Starting Grant project Intimate – Micropolitics of Intimacy in Southern Europe: Citizenship, Care and Choice (2014-2019) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Informal housing includes the range of practices associated with producing or occupying residential spaces which falls beyond formal systems of urban planning. In this field it is complicated recognize what is legal or illegal and informal self-building and social innovation coexist with urban crime. On the one hand, informal housing is an opportunity for counter-movements against marketisation of the housing sector (squatting, self-construction, grassroots neighbourhood organisations). On the other hand, in the informal housing we can find urban crime, including organised crime groups, which control over the territory, occupy public housing, and manage public housing building. Massive urban security policies tackled informal space through segregation, surveillance, and punitive initiatives. Here the accusation of "mafia" has intensity the criminalisation of urban poverty, and the complexity of socio-spatial inequality is confused under the penal repression. The essay tries to deepen this ambivalence by looking at the outskirts of Rome and, in particular, at the relationship between informal housing in neighbourhoods with public housing complexes, with a high concentration of socio-economic disadvantage and high criminal density.

The coronavirus pandemic that has brought Italy (like many other countries) to its knees brings to the surface in a brutal way the criticality of the health policy choices taken by the government in the last thirty years, guided by the principle of subordination of the quality of care to cost efficiency. The priority has been to maximize profit by sacrificing the quality of care and health services. All this forces us to redefine the terms and categories with which we read and interpret today the issues related to the physical and mental health of citizens and the policies that govern it. Starting from this, the aim of this article is to reflect on the limits of contemporary health policies and the urgency of rethinking them in terms of a greater capacity to reconcile people's needs with a better use of public resources. To this end, the article will focus on bottom-up health policy practices that try to guarantee, at the same time, the quality of care and a better use of health spending, through the analysis of the experience of the Solaris association in Rome working in the field of mental health.
