The invention of movable type printing was followed by a fundamental technical development, which influenced the way in which a text was produced: the replacement of the original one-pull press with the two-pull press, which made it possible to print two pages at a time with a single pull of the press. Lotte Hellinga, following a survey of quarto format editions printed in printing shops in various locations, suggests that the first occurrence of the new technology is to be attributed to the beginning of 1472 and to Georg Lauer's printing shop in Rome. Following some reflections that take Hellinga's study as a point of departure, other parameters are described that allow to establish which printing press was used in the production of a certain edition. Once the methodology applied in the analysis of incunabula printed in Rome has been described, four cases are illustrated, which highlight the complexity of the topic.

Abstract Neither ἰατρίνη nor μαῖα: the «special» knowledge of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια Especially in the last thirty years both the ἰατρίναι/medicae and the μαῖαι/obstetrices have received particular attention from scholars both for a more precise framing of these female «professions» within activities that are not exclusively manual but also intellectual, and in order to reconstruct the legal status, the possibilities of social affirmation and the opportunities of economic income of these two specific professional profiles. The subject of analysis here is a figure in its own right, that of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια, a term attested by very rare epigraphic mentions in Latin and Greek, absent from the databases of papyrus texts and a veritable hapax in literary testimonies. After reviewing the inscriptions that certify the existence of this word and the hypotheses formulated by moderns regarding its possible meaning, the paper attempts to trace the professional profile of this specialist, identifying, through a comparison with the sources, similarities and differences with the other types of therapists and making an interpretative proposal in conclusion regarding the specific knowledge and skills of the iatromaea/ἰατρόμαια.

In Italian language and in languages of the world, Rome is synonymous with power, eternal beauty, religious passion. The phraseology and proverbs linked to the capital of Italy retrace the phases of its ancient era, the imperial one, in which the city was a conqueror of Eurasia and the homeland of law. The phraseology and proverbs reflect the many images of a city that has a long and singular destiny and which, a few centuries after its foundation, immediately became a symbol of secular power, and immediately afterwards also of religious power. In its legendary history, the toponym Roma has forcefully entered the idioms, used to create metaphors that explain reality, to highlight the relationship between absolute power and subjects, without mentioning the ramifications of intrigues and injustices that have arisen from it. The research aims to analyze the most famous sayings and proverbs concerning the capital, as well as those that we considered most interesting from a historical and historical-linguistic point of view, dividing them into three categories: those linked to political power, those concerning the Pope and the Santa Sede and those whose protagonists are the Romans.

The article considers a significant aspect of Strada per Roma, namely the narcissistic personality of the main protagonist, the young Guido Corsalini, and the sensual valence of Paolo Volponi's early poetic production written at the same time of this novel. To this end, the essay traces, also in the light of analytical doctrines on the subject, but not only, Guido's inner journey, focusing on those episodes that highlight an Ego of the character that has remained emotionally stuck at an infantile age. Indeed, it will be the experience of intimacy with Barnaba, the separation from his childhood friend Ettore, that will mentally project Guido into a different, more adult and conscious mental atmosphere, on the streets of Roma.

Members of the Catholic Church in Slovenia, as many other Catholic nations, wanted to have their own college in the centre of Christianity, which could offer hospitality to Slovenian pilgrims in the Eternal City and a place to stay for Slovenian students during their specialization while also providing possibilities for preserving Slovenian religious and cultural heritage outside Slovenian homeland. Slovenian College in Rome was officially founded in 1960, but it was only inaugurated in 1973. It was listed among the Pontifical colleges that same year. The foundation was financially supported above all by the Slovenian political emigrants from the United States of America and Canada, but they had doubts about the college's character, its leadership, and its independence from the communist authorities in Slovenia.

La Roma ottocentesca, lungi dall’essere condizionata esclusivamente da censura e moralismo ecclesiastico, si presenta come vivace teatro culturale, luogo in cui prolificano scuole, università, accademie, caffè e circoli privati. Prendendo in esame l’attività di un docente e letterato quale Luigi Maria Rezzi (1785-1857), che frequenta e influenza molti dei succitati luoghi d’erudizione, si analizzano anche le memorie e le epistole lasciate dal circolo di giovani romani che costituiva la sua scuola. Quegli stessi giovani confluiranno, in buona parte, all’interno dell’élite letteraria, cittadina e non solo, del xix secolo e della prima parte del successivo. Attraverso le lettere scritte e ricevute dal docente, l’analisi dei legami e dei molteplici ruoli da lui ricoperti, si può ricostruire, così, una fitta rete di rapporti, un insieme di dati biografici che permettono di aggiungere nuovi elementi al quadro della Roma pontificia di quegli anni.

This article examines the concepts of historical accuracy and truthfulness of the setting in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Rappaccini’s Daughter” (1844) through an analysis of his representation and depiction of Padua, in particular of its University and Botanical Gardens (Orto Botanico). Though Hawthorne had not yet visited Italy at the time of publication, his description of Padua in the tale is vivid and full of apt references that embody the city. Overall, little critical attention has been devoted to the Padua setting of the short story. However, a study of Hawthorne’s rich and accurate references in the text reveals a somewhat obscure desire to convey his particularly deep knowledge of Italian literature, art, and history. Finally, a comparison between the Padua of “Rappaccini’s Daughter” with subsequent depictions of Italy in Hawthorne’s production, especially the Rome of The Marble Faun: Or, The Romance of Monte Beni (1860), will highlight similarities and differences in the treatment of history and setting in his later works.

The article focuses on the research of the main theological and historical phenomena which may initiate the process of ecclesiastic reconciliation of the East and West as well as, in the same manner, provide opportunities to question some of the parameters within Anglo-Saxon studies. Basic terms diagnosed in the context of Anglo-Saxon studies in question provide the perspectives which are going to be the rudiment for further research that will lead to the appearance of various prejudices and half-truths which, without being questioned, will continue to exist in this and future generations. Starting the joint research from the aspect of extremely complex and multidisciplinary Anglo-Saxon studies may well effect the development of the dialogue and final ecclesiastical reconciliation of the East and West. This should be based on historical facts so that the conclusion of the scientific research within Anglo-Saxon studies will be valid and precise, and in no way ambiguous and insufficiently acceptable for both the western and the eastern individual. The article points out some perspectives of the future research within Anglo-Saxon studies.

Through a study of the catalogue that accompanied the exhibition “VIRUS GROUP, Naples, New York Corviale”, the paper aims to raise awareness and foster appreciation for the ancient and contemporary heritage in all its variety and complexity, located in a particular area in the city of Rome, Corviale: heritage that is housed in the Drugstore Museum and represents a mix between archaeology and contemporaneity - an example of a public and participatory management model designed to train and provide for the cultural needs of its citizens. This task is fulfilled mainly through the medium of contemporary art, due to its ability to interpret the reality of inclusion and to strengthen the idea of identity, to rehabilitate places and people, and to help the territory to grow. In this case, contemporary art is represented by a group of artists, the Virus Group, which established itself in Corviale after a series of varied experiences in Italy and abroad. Today, it is one of the most incisive and relevant voices in the field of applied arts.

This numismatic chronicle presents a number of monetary or premonetary finds for which the exact place of finding cannot be specified: Dobrogea Passim (in the south of the Romanian coast?), 7+1? pieces, probably from the same hoard of bronze Scythian arrowheads and premonetary signs; 1 Thasos tetradrachm, found in Romania, no place specified, possibly part of a hoard; 5 notched Thasos tetradrachms from Transylvania (of the same type as in Șieu-Odorhei hoard), certainly found together in a hoard; 3 Dyrrhachium drachms, most probably part of a monetary hoard with Republican denarii, possibly from the Orăștiei Mountains area; 49 Roman Republican and Imperial denarii, part of one or more Roman denarii hoards, possibly from the Orăștiei Mountains area too; 3 bronze coins issued for Trajan, probably from the Roman provinces in Romania, without further details. To these pieces is added a gold stater of Koson type, without monogram, from a hoard at Sarmizegetusa Regia (Dealul Muncelului).

The contribution investigates through the photographic tool the space between some Roman houses built in the early 1900s, in which a collective dimension of living can be found. Through the built forms, the materials and the possibility of passing freely and democratically in the intermediate spaces between the private domestic sphere and the public sphere of the city, the path through images stops the gaze on the public building settlements with the aim of recovering a dimension and a shared atmosphere of living. The covered passageways and the entrance thresholds, the drying racks and the green open space emphasize the importance of the empty space as a focal point of the collective architectural project. With particular reference to the fundamental role of proximity spaces, the goal is to feed an imaginary on collective housing that is not only speculative but perceptive, phenomenological, immaterial which does not only concern a space of consumption but a time and place democratic made up of daily actions.

The paper proposes a semiotic analysis of Cityscapes by Valeriana Berchicci, a digital museum of memory of Rome hosted on a permanent and interactive online platform that maps the city through oral narratives collected by the artist and the users themselves. The goal is to test whether the digital platform placed at the service of the museum-archive can constitute a qualitatively innovative way of musealization and memory reprocessing. At the heart of the project is the relationship between representation of urban space, memory and artistic practice, investigated in particular from the perspective of the concepts of museum and his objects, spatial and temporal coordinates, the use of voice in a figurative way, and the intersubjective dimension.

De Angelis discusses the monograph by D. Internullo that focuses on the intellectual foundations of the commune of Rome, understood as a symbolic capital which the political leaders and cultured elites of the city used in the dual, concomitant process of theorizing and legitimizing the new institutional formation. It is a book about the central role of culture - documentary culture, no less than historical culture - and its ability to guide shared choices and influence political practices.

The prison before the prison is a nominal expression whose meaning concerns the so called (ancient and modern) accusation cultures. This kind of community considers the charged as guilty or already ethically condemned, even before a judgment.

A house of worship abroad, far from one's homeland is always more than religion for migrants, it plays useful roles such as place for social aggregation, mutual aid, welfare, supporting in dealing with burocracy or learning the language of the country of arrival. In chief, it is the suitable framework to preserve customs and musical practices of the countries of origin, and a metropolitan city like Rome, which has a demographic record concerning the residence of immigrants, it is a living testimony about the cultural richness that diasporic minorities have provided in Italy. The soundscape thus is enhancing despite the increasingly flintiness of the laws hindering the integration of migrants in recent years. These places of worship, in Rome, lie in civil or industrial buildings that are assigned to different communities, or they are "shared churches" welcoming different Christian religions. This article is about three volumes, Esengo, Al?ān and Galoba published by Neoclassica, in the series te MusicheMigranti and explores some "treasure chest of the motherland", experiences of religious music in three case studies: the Congolese Catholic church in the centre of Rome, the Coptic Orthodox church in a garage in the Tiburtina area and the Georgian church in the Monti district.

This work is the result of two years of research and fieldwork in the Appia Antica Park in Rome, based on the participatory processes that have stratified over time in the area, contributing to dynamics of re-signification. Using the modern cartographic instruments, this contribution aims to hypothesise future scenarios for the protection of the landscape in its natural, historical, cultural and identitarian components. The results obtained have highlighted links and conflicts between local communities and institutions. Furthermore, it allowed to analyze the main research about participatory practices, connecting them with the reflections about the use of cartography to systematise local knowledge, to hypothesize a management of common goods in the Aqueducts area.

In the now thirty-year-long history of the construction of a formal dimension of the metropolisation process in Italy, the dynamics of administrative reorganisation triggered by Law 56/2014 saw the emergence of the metropolitan city as an element of rupture in the relations between territorial levels. These dynamics are explored through the Roman case, in which the process of institutionalisation of the metropolitan city presents numerous criticalities with respect to the central city’s value as capital, the organisational structure within the metropolitan territory, the relationship with the Latium Region and the relationship with the State regarding European programming.

Through some texts linked to the second iconoclastic controversy (815-843), the Photian schism (867), the genesis of Bulgarian autocephaly (917-923) and the election of the anti-pope John Filagato (997), the article shows how the Byzantine world, despite having considered the imperial coronation of Charlemagne at the hands of Pope Leo III (800) to be the greatest Latin blasphemy in history after the birth of the “New Rome”, nevertheless preserved an obsequious ecclesiastical current of the Petrine See until the beginning of the 11th century. It was the consolidation of the imperial re-edition in the West with the renewal of the papal blessing to the new German subject that traced the path of the irreversible rupture in the Greek conscience, so much so that the schism of Michael Cerulario (1054) so emphasized by modern Catholic historiography was nothing else it will be from the Constantinopolitan observatory that one of the many not-so-memorable skirmishes within an epochal conflict accentuated, along the way, by the radicalization of an antagonistic bipolarism between the Roman doctrine of the Petri monarchy and the pontifical downsizing of the eastern pentarchic ecclesiology, while the ecumenical unions of Lyon (1274) and Florence (1439), beyond exceptional unheard spokespersons, dissolved in the bud as a result of the further infection caused by the atrocities of the Fourth Crusade (1204). The sedimentation of other anti-Latin criticisms will only have mere instrumental reasons to artificially package a substantial ecclesiastical crisis that arose solely from the problem of the Roman primacy that emerged and then magnified by the conditioning and convenience of contingent circumstances: a problem that unfortunately remains on the agenda, but which the historical lesson should stimulate to resolve, having been a de facto assembly and amplification of political-temporal controversies which have become the centuries-old construction site of the stabilized dialectical tension, in other words the cause and not the effect of the theological distance engineered over time.

This article focuses on a Carolingian manuscript now kept in the Stiftsbibliothek Einsiedeln (Codex 326 (1076)), containing a collection of mostly Rome-centred writings, among others, a series of walking routes through the city (the Itinerarium Einsidlense). The theoretical concepts of ‘affordances’ and ‘ergodic’ reading are employed to explore the meanings and functions of the Itinerarium in its original context of use (i.e., the Carolingian monastery). After an analysis of the particular form of the written text on the parchment folio, the article contextualises the form and affordance of the Itinerarium by comparing the text with two other Carolingian artworks from roughly the same time and geographical context: the Plan of St. Gall and a diagram of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre from an illustrated manuscript of Adomnán’s De locis sanctis. These sources resemble the Itinerarium through their ergodic approach to writing and reading, as well as their visual and meditational affordances. Subsequently, the Itinerarium is read in the wider context of the Einsiedeln collection, to explore how the ‘ergodic’ dimensions of the manuscript adds to the understanding of the meaning and function of the Itinerarium. Thus, the article highlights the importance to pay attention to the physical form of Latin script and the place of texts in the larger manuscript, in order to understand the meanings and functions of texts in particular contexts.

The Church of St Stanislaus the Bishop and Martyr in Rome is the national church of Poland, where the funeral ceremonies of Polish rulers were celebrated. After the death of King John III Sobieski, ceremonial symbolic obsequies were held. Carlo Barberini, as cardinal protector of Poland, organized public and expensive ceremonies to properly honour the king’s death. The course of the funeral service and the funeral decoration are known in detail through three contemporary printed reports and an engraving describing every aspect of the ceremony and the decoration of the church in honour of the Polish king. The church was decorated with six painted medallions celebrating important events in the life of King John III Sobieski. The surviving four of the six medallions are now kept at the Galleria Nazionale di Arte Antica in the Palazzo Barberini in Rome. In 2018, researcher Giovan Battista Fidanza found documents in the Barberini family archives regarding the cost of the ceremony. According to sources, the artist who made the six funerary oval paintings was Giacomo Wernele, which indicates an Italianization of the name Philip Jakob Wörndle. Currently, the state of preservation of the oval funerary canvases is poor. It is imperative to preserve the paintings in order to save them from destruction and make them available for museum display.

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the geopolitical status of the Upper Tigris area in antiquity, with a special focus on the period between ca. 401 BCE and the 6th century CE. Despite the popular impression that this area had a distinctly Armenian character, a closer look at its history shows that it was rather a territory with many local geopolitical entities that many neighboring countries periodically fought to possess. This area was strategically significant as a transit region located on the crossroads of important long-distance communication lines. Likewise, its natural resources were undoubtedly crucial to the neighboring countries. Indeed, powerful neighbors around the Upper Tigris area, including Armenia, the Iranian kingdoms of the Parthians and Sasanians, and Rome, sought to control this area, which was often located on the fringes of their states and as such was inevitably doomed to be contested by these empires onmany occasions. This situation can be acutely seen in the conflict between Rome and the Iranian kingdoms of the Parthians and Sasanians, when northern Mesopotamia became a real battleground between the competing empires. In particular, the paper will sketch the development of the geopolitical status of several small geopolitical entities in this region—Sophene, Osrhoene, Gordyene, and Adiabene.

Francesca Bussa dei Ponziani stands at the turn of the two councils of Constance and Basil, which strongly influenced the judgement on visionary women. Francesca’s political visions represent the brightest example of how the Birgittine and Catherinian models have been re-modelled on the basis of a new different historical context. Francesca’s solid authority allowed her to address Pope Eugene IV multiple times regarding his participation to the Council of Basel. Francesca, therefore, actively intervened within the Roman religious and political scenario.

This paper explores digraphia – the ability for one person to use two different scripts at the same time – in the 16th-century French community in Rome, where both cancelleresca italica and modern French cursive coexisted. It aims to verify what influenced French writers to adopt distinct graphic solutions, based on their relationship with the text, language, and function of writing. The phenomenon is mostly represented by professional writers, who were able to master both graphic styles at the same level of expertise. Nevertheless, there are also some writers who employ both scriptures at an usual level, showing a higher degree of contamination. All these writers – particularly when acting as delegated writers – show great awareness in their choice of one graphic style over the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit dem Urkundenwesen Kataloniens vom 8. bis10. Jahrhundert, das sich durch eine zunehmend reiche Originalüberlieferung auszeichnet. Die Dokumente, die zum Großteil von Klerikern ausgefertigt wurden, gewähren einzigartige Einblicke in die Lebenswelten der damaligen Gesellschaft und erlauben auch Rückschlüsse auf den Grad ihrer Alphabetisierung und Literalität. Nicht zuletzt bei den Urkundenschreibern gab es auf diesen Gebieten große Unterschiede. Am oberen Ende der Skala standen Kanoniker wie Adanagell und Otger sowie Bischof Miró Bonfill und der Priester Oliba, die in ihre Urkundentexte ihre Gelehrsamkeit und Belesenheit einfließen ließen. Diese Urkundenschreiber sind teilweise auch als Schreiber von Codices nachweisbar. Es gibt aber auch eine Reihe von Beispielen für Schreiber, die am unteren Ende der Skala standen, und deren Dokumente auf eine elementare (Aus-)Bildung schließen lassen. Immerhin werden auch in ihren Urkunden Spuren heute verlorener Bücher fassbar, die vom lokalen Klerus und sogar von Laien aufbewahrt wurden und zirkuliert haben müssen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Technological upgrading in recent decades has allowed, at the urban level, the definition of new tools to address issues related to climate change. The research focuses on methodologies and technologies that are useful for the definition of new morphometric classifications (RLCZ, Rome Local Climate Zone) and the consequent construction of specific parametric models for the fabric of the historic city, starting from the case study on the city of Rome. This is to support an informed design-making process that is compatible with the peculiarities of complex fabrics. The proposed methodology and tools, which can be tested on similar scenarios or recalibrated for different realities, can provide an additional piece of knowledge, integrated with ongoing international experiments.

The contribution follows the participation in the TECHNOLOGY FOR ALL 2022 event held in Rome from 21 to 23 November 2022. At the end of the first day of the workshop, in the session "Active testimonials in the Baja presentation room", Antonino Saggio and Gaetano De Francesco spoke at the Scalo de Pinedo, to outline some strategies for Rome based on the enhancement of the Tiber, understood as a large ecological infrastructure in the built city, in a design capable of injecting new social dynamics, technological and environmental innovations and the economic forces necessary for the city. Rome in fact it is one of the very few capital cities in the world that has not yet invested in its great resource of the River that crosses it, treating it only as a source of criticality rather than a great opportunity for its future.

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.

In the Museo di Roma at Palazzo Braschi there is a painting attributed to an anonymous Flemish painter of the 17th century depicting a theatre scene in Piazza Pasquino, whose iconography differs from the usual depiction of this subject spread by bamboozling painters in the 17th century. Instead of being crowded at the foot of a raised stage - as was typical in works depicting charlatans accompanied by the comedians of the Commedia dell'arte - the spectators are arranged in a circle around them. And, above all, the character in the centre of the scene has the physiognomy and costume typical of the actor Tiberio Fiorilli (1608-1694) as Scaramuccia. This identification is based on iconographic comparisons with printed works and two paintings by Pietro Paolini. Fiorilli's presence in Rome and the social context in which he is documented are intertwined with the history of the urban space depicted in the painting, taking into account architectural, iconographic, and literary elements. On the basis of these elements, the work can be dated to between the 1630s and 1640s, a little-known period in Fiorilli's life. Before conquering the stages frequented by the aristocracy and kings, the young actor may have begun to build his character in the street theatre made up of Commedia dell'Arte masks and charlatans with which the city was teeming.

The article introduces a hitherto unpublished small fragment of a bronze tablet in the Collec-tion Fedor K., Budapest. It is inscribed with the copy of an imperial letter (exemplum sacrarum litterarum) presumably from the Black Sea region. Although neither the name of the emperor nor a date is preserved, epigraphic elements point to a dating in the 3rd-4th century.

This article argues that fashion-branded gastronomic facilities (e.g. restaurants, cafés, etc.) can constitute a privileged viewpoint for observing the interrelation between fashion and tourism industrie(s). High fashion maisons have been investing in the restaurant and hospitality sector since the 1980s : however this trend has been systematized over the last two decades. Specialized literature is mainly focused on the marketing and management analysis of the phenomenon : this papera ims to depict the consequences of this systematization, both in terms of urban policies and narratives. Our research is based on a single, localized case study (the Rhinoceros Entr'acte restaurant powered by Alda Fendi within the city of Rome) and is underpinned by key hypotheses: through the wise use of food, the fashion designers can be vectors of heritagization both by acting as city boosters and by increasing the tourism potential. The data used are mainly qualitative : interviews, observations and media content analysis were executed between 2018 and 2021. We suggest that the process of commodification of the (touring and food) experience implemented by personalities associated to fashion brands may disguise a much more complex path of relationships and tensions between city actors, namely around how imaginaries and perceptions associated with cities are designed, iterated and perceived

L’objet de cette étude est une analyse de la théorie politique des « deux soleils » du XVIe chant du Purgatoire. Cette étude sera menée à partir d’un corpus d’œuvres théologiques franciscaines du XIIIe siècle qui relèvent du milieu intellectuel des Frères Spirituels. Afin de comprendre le rôle que le franciscanisme pourrait avoir joué dans l’élaboration de la théorie sur la séparation des pouvoirs temporel et spirituel, nous nous pencherons sur les œuvres théologiques et juridiques du théologien franciscain Pierre de Jean Olivi. Le point de départ de cette étude est l’importance de la nouvelle conception de la personne humaine et juridique qui naît au XIIIe siècle lors de la querelle sur la pauvreté évangélique. La réflexion au cœur de ces pages nous permettra de formuler des hypothèses de travail sur la reprise de la part de Dante de l’héritage juridique des théologiens franciscains qui prirent part à cette querelle. Nous essaierons surtout de cerner la place de cet héritage au sein de la visio de Dante, et de comprendre si ce projet politique pouvait apparaître, à l’époque où le poète rédigeait le Purgatoire, comme une simple utopie ou comme un dessein politique légitime et parfaitement réalisable.

En partant de l’incipit du De urbe Roma, où Bernardo Rucellai s’interroge sur la légitimité de commencer un texte historique par le mythe des origines divines de Rome, la présente contribution se propose de réfléchir sur les usages de l’histoire antique produits à Florence pendant les Guerres d’Italie. L’hypothèse qui la sous-tend est que le bouleversement militaire avait mis en crise certains présupposés de l’historiographie humaniste, fondée sur la nécessité d’imiter l’antique, en transformant l’histoire romaine en une sorte d’utopie réalisée : un modèle désormais placé au-delà d’une fracture irrémédiable, dont on devait prêcher – tout ensemble – l’exemplarité et le caractère irreproductible.

TECHNOLOGYforALL 2022, the seventh edition, has concluded. Despite the Orange Weather Alert issued by the Lazio Region and the Municipality of Rome and after the twoyear stop due to COVID, wanted because it would not have been appropriate to create an online-only event, we managed to carry on an event that proved to be of great interest, but above all useful for creating and expanding networks of contacts, which would have remained unreachable at a distance. We are already looking for a new location for the next edition: in fact we attended the Full Contact Meeting, by kind invitation, where we presented our event and received numerous positive feedbacks on the potential and future of the TFA.
