[EN] The present contribution illustrates the documentation and setting up of a digital database of a portion of Bellisomi-Vistarino Palace in Pavia (Italy), a relevant historical asset due to its artistic value. Despite recent restoration work, there are still disused portions of the complex, including the garden, the loggia and the rooms on the ground floor that overlook it. These portions are the elements this paper deals with. The approach to a small portion of the building is a pilot case from the perspective of a broader work of integral documentation of the whole complex. The aim is to define digital support for diagnostic and restoration planning activities from the perspective to enhance and create a new cultural attraction for the city, using the Foundation of the University of Pavia, already settled in the Palace and their organizational skills and networks. This is achieved by structuring a tridimensional digital twin and database connected to it to monitor the assets and generate digital environments for cultural and touristic valorisation., [IT] Il presente contributo illustra il processo di documentazione e creazione di un database digitale di una porzione di Palazzo Bellisomi-Vistarino a Pavia (Italia), un bene storico rilevante per il suo valore artistico. Nonostante i recenti lavori di restauro esistono ancora porzioni del complesso in disuso tra cui il giardino, la loggia e le stanze del piano terra che vi si affacciano. Queste porzioni sono gli elementi di cui si occupa il presente lavoro. L'approccio a una piccola porzione dell'edificio è un caso pilota nella prospettiva di un più ampio lavoro di documentazione integrale dell'intero complesso. L'obiettivo è quello di definire un supporto digitale per le attività di diagnostica e progettazione del restauro nella prospettiva di valorizzare e creare un nuovo polo di attrazione culturale per la città, utilizzando la Fondazione dell'Università di Pavia, già insediata nel Palazzo e le sue competenze organizzative e di rete. Ciò si sviluppa strutturando un digital twin tridimensionale e un database ad esso collegato per monitorare i beni e generare ambienti digitali per la valorizzazione culturale e turistica.

The paper deals with the development and settlement of female monasteries in the urban contexts of the early Middle Ages. Through a preliminary focus on the community founded by saint Cesarius in Arles during the 6th century, the article aims to identify some elements recognizable in this context and to investigate them in other towns. Important aspects like the liturgical organization of different oratoria, the placement of the burial church for the female community, and the role in the promotion of saints’ cult during the high Middle Ages represent an interesting possibility of comparison, in this case with the reality of Metz, specifically with Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains and Sainte-Glossinde. The last part of the paper is dedicated to a first analysis of the role and spatial organization of female monasteries in two Lombard towns: Milan and Pavia. Through a survey of the communities already existing in the 11th century and their position in the urban topography the paper opens to some remarks following the observations made for Arles and Metz, thus suggesting the necessity of an in-depth study of these north-Italian contexts.

[SPA] El melocotón amarillo de carne dura o pavía ha disminuido su producción en los últimos años, pero a nivel nacional sigue teniendo un hueco de mercado interior para su consumo en fresco. El programa de mejora IMIDA-NOVAMED ha desarrollado tres variedades de esta tipología: Levante 20®, Levante 40® y Levante 45® con unas características muy similares y buenas calidades organolépticas, diferenciándose en fechas de maduración y porcentaje de sobrecoloración con las variedades de referencia de melocotón amarillo en el mercado. Pudiendo ofrecer así una serie de melocotones amarillos o pavías similares de forma continua en los lineales de venta, y así el consumidor poder disfrutar durante un largo periodo de tiempo el mismo tipo de melocotón. [ENG] The non-melting yellow peach or “pavia” has decreased its production in recent years, but at the national level it still has an internal market gap for fresh consumption. The breeding program IMIDA-NOVAMED has developed three varieties of this typology: Levante 20®, Levante 40® y Levante 45® with very similar characteristics and good organoleptic qualities, differing in ripening dates and percentage of over-coloring with the reference varieties of yellow peach in the market. Being able to offer a series of yellow peaches or similar peaches in a continuous way in the sale lines, and thus the consumer can enjoy the same type of peach for a long period.

The era of Spanish domination over the University of Pavia, which lasted between the magnificent period of the Visconti and the Sforza reigns and the times of the reforms of Maria Teresa and Joseph II the Habsburg, is considered by some researchers as a period of decadence and by others as a phase of purely formal continuity.Over the course of several centuries, there has been a transition from the idea of monolithic medieval university to flexible centers of higher education. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, the cycle of education at the secondary level was defined, which inevitably imposed its primacy over primary and higher education. In Pavia, the situation was no different from that of other European cities, on the contrary, it adopted certain values within the cultural policy carried out by the Spanish kings.The aim of the article is – using the example of the University of Pavia – to present the changes that took place during this period in secondary education and at universities. The humanistic heritage of the University of Pavia during the Spanish period was confronted with the regional education system, it had to overcome the periods of crisis, then to face changes needed and to create the premises for a deliberate deployment of higher education, which will flourish later under the influence of the Enlightenment.Source research allowed for the formulation of conclusions that the Studium Ticinensis can be considered as an institution that was developing efficiently, was characterized by a coherent educational system, which – like in other regions of Europe – appears to be a fruit of modernity.

La tesis propone la edición filológica y el estudio histórico-contextual y lingüístico de cartas inéditas, pertenecientes a la correspondencia entre Antoine Perrenot de Granvela y Nicoló Bellone, un importante jurista piamontés, docente en algunas universidades italianas y francesas, escritor, senador en Milán y asesor de la duquesa de Lorena.El relato de Bellone muestra la actividad y la personalidad de Cristina de Oldemburg, duquesa regente de Lorena por esta razón la tesi participa en el proyecto, dirigido por Julia Benavent: Las mujeres en la casa de Áustria (1526-1567). Corpus documental. Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, conocido también como Cardenal Granvelle, es un hombre fundamental por su labor diplomática al servicio de Carlos V y de Felipe II. En los años de los documentos seleccionados para la teisis, desde 1546 a 1552, Granvela era consejero de Carlos V, encargándose de los asuntos de política exterior; su ascenso seguirá con Felipe II, llegando a ser presidente del Consejo de Italia, Virrey de Nápoles y hasta ejercer de regente en España. Niccoló Bellone nació a principio del siglo XVI en el Monferrato, cursó los estudios de Derecho primero en Bolonia y luego en Pavía donde ejercerá como docente. En estos años, Bellone colaboró con algunos de los grandes jurisconsultos de su época como Carlo Ruini, Francesco Ripa o Andrea Alciato, y conoció a Antoine Perrenot, su alumno, con el que mantuvo, en seguito una buena amistad. Gracias a la intervención de Granvelle, Bellone es enviado a Dole (1544-1547), donde escribirá la mayoría de sus obras. A mitad de 1547, Bellone volvió a Milán habiendo obtenido el ansiado puesto en el Senado. Se quedará en Italia sólo dos años al ser enviado a Nancy para asesorar a la Duquesa de Lorena, donde morirá en 1552. Además de su importancia como testimonio histórico, el estudio de la correspondencia entre Nicoló Bellone y Granvelle, revela unos aspectos interesantes con respecto a la lengua y el léxico utilizado, en especial al contacto entre el italiano y el francés, que, en el siglo XVI, estaban en una fase de normalización. Todos los documentos del corpus están escritos en italiano pero revelan palabras o expresiones ajenas muy interesantes para el estudio de las lenguas en contacto. Debido a su profesión de jurista, el corpus que estudiaremos puede ser muy interesante para el estudio de la formación del lenguaje jurídico y administrativo italiano. OBJETIVOS: La tesis tiene dos objetivos fundamentales: 1. Edición filológica de los documentos. 2. Estudio histórico-contextual y lingüístico de los mismos desde el punto de vista de la lengua italiana del siglo XVI, del lenguaje jurídico y administrativo y del contacto entre el italiano y el francés. METODOLOGÍA: La metodología partirá del punto de vista filológico, que constituye el punto de partida imprescindible para la lectura y el estudio del epistolario de Granvelle, la edición de las cartas seleccionadas de entre los 18 códices inéditos que se custodian en la Biblioteca Nacional, y los 100 de la Real Biblioteca. El estudio procederá de la siguiente manera: Una trascripción fiel, con las mínimas intervenciones filológicas como corresponde a los documentos de archivo, precedida de una regesta que resuma el contenido de la carta. Las notas filológicas a pie de página y las notas históricas al final de documento. El estudio filológico resultante de la edición dará cuenta de todos aquellos fenómenos lingüísticos que resultan del estudio, en particular, en este caso, es fundamental el lenguaje jurídico y administrativo y los resultados del contacto entre el italiano y el francés a mediados del siglo XVI. Desde el punto de vista histórico, se dará cuenta en las notas históricas de los hechos narrados. De estas cartas se extraerá un índice analítico y de lugares y otro de los acontecimientos. Las cartas se ordenarán según un criterio cronológico, que permitirá reconstruir los hechos y reflexionar sobre ellos. Esta reflexión se realizará sobre los textos inéditos, por lo que se aportarán datos nuevos y decisivos para comprender la política de Carlos V respecto de algunos asuntos franceses.

The importance and the effectiveness of any actions can be better assessed looking at the long-term results that derived from the original actions associated with it. This is what we are going to see in this paper, where we want to celebrate the research and education activity of Prof. Rinaldo Castello in the Microelectronics Lab at University of Pavia, where all of us have been students starting (in same cases) more than 25 years ago. © 2009-2012 IEEE.

This publication contains the Latin text and English translation of Enea Silvio Piccolomini’s oration Audivi to the Council of Basel on May 15, 1436, concerning the choice of venue for the reunion Council between the Latin Church and the Greek Church. The speaker argued for the city of Pavia in the territory of the Duke of Milan. The oration reflected the tensions between conciliarism and the papacy, between the European countries, and between the Italian powers including the Papal State. Piccolomini used the occasion to demonstrate his rhetorical skills and humanist learning to the Council fathers. In addition to the main subject, the oration touches upon issues that are also of interest in other contexts, e.g. the humanist debate on the origins of the Turks.

19 pages, 7 figures., A study was conducted on bricks sampled from the defence walls around the historic town of Pavia (northern Italy) erected during Roman (uncertain) and “Spanish” sixteenth-seventeenth centuries) times. An analysis of colour, macro- and micro-chemical composition, mineralogical clusters and structural-textural features showed that similar raw materials were used in the manufacture of these bricks, although certain variations were identified: particle size is finer in Roman bricks, while the “Spanish” version contains ground carbonate and “chamotte” additives. The “Spanish” bricks, fired at lower temperatures, are more porous. The wide range of firing temperatures used to make “Spanish” bricks was very likely related to the intended use. The sporadic presence of maghemite is discussed in the context of the atmosphere prevailing in the kilns. The “Spanish” bricks are lighter in colour as a result of their carbonate content and lower firing temperature. These characteristics, which affect the weather resistance of the different types of brick, should be taken into account in restoration work. Keywords: bricks, Roman Spanish walls, Pavia, colour, chemical composition. (*) Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, University of Pavia (Italia).

The following thesis is comprised of a pair of projects focused on the making of architecture through the concept of framing. The work was conducted at the Academia d'Architettura in Mendrisio, Switzerland, under the direction of Peter Zumthor, Miguel Kreisler and Myriam Sterling, emphasizing the relationship between ordered structures and contextual propriety. The making of architecture is inherently most pure when approached as the subtraction of unnecessary elements and a distillation of what is required for a specific program on a particular site. Life is given to structure through habitation; therefore the senses of the inhabitant must be engaged through interaction with the philosophical and tectonic elements of a place. In this didactic, the structure is made complete by its inhabitation and it completes the sensory framing of place by establishing the vantage point of the inhabitant. The confluence of inhabiting space and marking place together result in an architecture of experience. Master of Architecture

This thesis describes one individual's contribution to a larger effort, an exploration that involved some thirty-two other students from the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio, Switzerland. Our shared task was to study a bucolic agrarian region of Northern Italy and propose a strategy for its development. All projects ultimately included in the Atelier's vision were to have a significant strategic value to the territory, resonating with and magnifying the landscape's existing qualities. They were to intensify its complex identity without further complicating it. Included in this document are the author's initial impressions of the region as recorded over a series of visits to the place as well as a reaction to these impressions, an architectural response in the form of a cinema multiplex over the Pavese and its fields.

The following presents the actud current knowledge of the area of Pavia, Mora (Portugal). New data are now added to the work done in this area by Vergilio Correia in the beginning of the century. These new data result from the field surveys carried out in the last year. At this stage, it is possible to establish parallels between the megalithic group of Pavia and those of Reguengos de Monsaraz and Evora. Still, some chronological differences seem to exist between Pavia and the other groups.

The following article presents data resulting from a series of field surveys that were undertaken in the area of Pavia (Mora, Portugal) in recent years. During these field activities it was possible to identify a significant number of small settlements. This allowed us to create a chronological-cultural sequence for the area, and to pose several important questions concerning its evolution.
