Abstract:

In this paper we describe Troglohyphantes lanai n. sp. from Pennine Alps and the unknown female of T. bonzanoi, from Ligurian Alps. Based on the collection of new material and on the examination of the paratypes, T. delmastroi Pesarini, 2001 is proposed as junior synonym of T. iulianae Brignoli, 1971 (new synonymy). We also provide new faunistic and ecological data on the Italian species of Troglohyphantes, focusing mainly on Central Italian Alps. Phenetic species groups previously proposed in literature for the Italian species have been updated in view of recent literature and new findings. Pesarini’s complexes of species are used to map the species distribution in the Italian Alps.

Abstract:

The Lombard Alps in the central sector of the Italian Alps are one of the most intensively glacierized regions on the southern side of the chain (about 113 km2 of ice cover). All of the glaciers have been retreating since the beginning of the 20th century, but the trend is not uniform. Since the 1950s there has been a drop in the percentage of retreating snouts and an increase in stationary and advancing snouts. After 1985 the glaciers in the Lombard Alps began a new recession phase that is still going on. This pattern is consistent with temperature variations in Lombardy in the 20th century. According to data from Sondrio station, four alternating warming and cooling phases ran be distinguished in 20th-century warming. The Lombard glaciers well recorded the last three phases, showing evident signs of the 1955–88 cold phase, with a response time of about 20 years, and may be considered good indicators of 20th-century temperature trends.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the Italian Alps, the maximum advance of the Holocene usually coincided with the Little Ice Age (LIA), which reached a climax for most glaciers during the first two decades of the 19th century. Moraines deposited during the peak of the LIA usually obliterated glacial deposits from previous advances. Using dendrogeomorphology, it is possible to date glacier advances before the LIA peak. In the central Italian Alps, it was possible to pinpoint an advance of Ghiacciaio del Madaccio, which took place in the first two decades of the 17th century. With dendrogeomorphology, it is also possible to reconstruct in detail the behaviour of glaciers during the Little Ice Age climax. Trees growing on the margin of glacier tongues may have suffered damage, recognizable by the presence of wood scars and the formation of particularly thin rings; their dating allows both ice advances and retreats to be dated. This is the case for Ghiacciaio Grande di Verra in the western Italian Alps; owing to the rapid decrease of the tree ring widths, it is possible to recognize climate changes responsible for both lower wood production and, sometimes, subsequent glacier advances, although the latter take place with a certain delay. For Ghiacciaio del Lys in the western Italian Alps, a response time of five years was determined.

Abstract:

Extreme streamflow nonstationarity has probably attracted more attention than mean streamflow nonstationarity in the assessment of the impacts of climate change on the water cycle. Nonetheless, a significant decrease in mean streamflow could lead to conditions of scarcity of freshwater in the long-term period, seriously compromising the sustainability of the demand for civil, agricultural, and industrial uses. Regional analyses are useful to better characterize an area’s nonstationarity, since a clear trend at a global scale has not been detected yet. In this article, long-term and high-quality series of streamflow discharges observed in five rivers in the Central Italian Alps, including two multicentury series and two new precipitation and streamflow series not analyzed before, are investigated to statistically characterize individual trends of mean annual runoff volumes. Nonparametric pooled statistics are also introduced to assess the regional trend. Additional climatic and nonclimatic factors, namely, precipitation trends and land cover transformations, have also been considered as potential change drivers. Unlike precipitation, runoff volumes show a marked and statistically significant decrease of −1.45 mm/year, which appears to be homogeneous in the region. The land cover transformation analysis presented here revealed extensive woodland expansions of 510 km2 in 2018 out of the 2650 km2 area measured in 1954, representing 38% of the area investigated in this study: this anthropic driver of enhanced hydrologic losses can be recognized as an additional likely cause for the regional runoff volume decrease.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the cryosphere of the Lombardy region (Central Italian Alps) by compiling and analysing glacier, rock glacier, and protalus rampart inventories. To this purpose, I have employed remote sensing techniques and in-situ measurements for delineating the contemporary and historical extent of glaciers and contemporary extent of rock glaciers and protalus ramparts. In order to better identify and highlight the response of the regional cryosphere to climate change, the LIA maximum extent has been reconstructed for nine selected glaciers and their fluctuations since then have been discussed and analyzed in relation to temperature and precipitation recorded at ground weather stations. The main objectives of this doctoral dissertation are to: compile glacier, rock glacier and protalus rampart regional inventory for the Central Italian Alps (Lombardy region) exploitable for investigations about permafrost distribution; elucidate the linkages between the occurrence of periglacial landforms (rock glaciers and protalus ramparts) and local litho-topographic attributes; examine the variability of periglacial activity in relation to terrain elevation and mean annual precipitation; gain new insights about the impact of the Pleistocene-Holocene climatic transition on the periglacial domain within the study area; examine the linkages between glaciers location, glaciers attributes (e.g., size, aspect, ELA0) and mean annual precipitation; analyze the relations between glaciers location, size, aspect, ELA0 and areal variations since 1991; analyze post-LIA (1860) glacier fluctuations for nine selected glaciers from different sub-regions of the central Italian Alps; investigate glacier sensitivity to climate change (i.e., precipitation and temperature).

Abstract:

La Romanisation du Valcamonica focalise l’attention sur la cité alpine des Kamuni ou Camunni qui habitaient la vallée alpine italienne au nord de Brescia et Bergame, entre le Lac d’Isée et le col du Tonal. L’objectif a été la compréhension du contexte de 193 témoignages épigraphiques latines, qui vont de la première époque impériale au VIIème siècle apr. J. C. , incluant l’analyse des sources historiques-littéraires, des gravures rupestres et du matériau provenant de fouilles archéologiques, au cas où la documentation existerait. Après les campagnes de conquête des Alpes sous Auguste, le Valcamonica est annexée à l’empire avec d’autres gentes alpinae devictae. Ensuite, le Valcamonica devient une zone tampon de l’Empire romain et reçoit précocement la citoyenneté et une certaine autonomie. Notre étude s’intéresse plus particulièrement à la nouvelle organisation civique et à l’impact de Rome sur la population indigène préexistante, non seulement du point de vue du rapport entre les Romains et la peuplade autochtone, mais aussi du point de vue du processus de transformation du substrat camunien sous la poussée de la romanisation
The Romanisation of Camonica Valley concerns the impact of Rome on the life of a community in the middle of the Italian Alps north of Brescia and Bergamo, between Iseo Lake and Tonal Pass: the ancient Camunian people (Kamuni or Camunni). This is a systematic study of the context of 193 Latin Inscriptions that cover a period of time from the first Roman Imperial Age to the VII century A. D. , as well as an analysis of historic literary sources, rock carving art and all archaeological remains. After the campaigns of Druses and Tiberius, in fact, Augustus conquered the dominion of Alps and the Camonica Valley was annexed to Rome with other gentes alpinae devictae. The valley became then a buffer state in the Roman Empire, received soon the Roman citizenship and a certain degree of autonomy. The study examines especially the new social organisation of the native people, not only regarding the relationship between Roman and local people but also about the transformation process of Camonica Valley due the effects of Romanisation

Abstract:

L'armée française a conduit une bataille victorieuse sur les Alpes en juin 1940. C'est sans aucun doute, encore aujourd'hui, l'aspect le plus méconnu des combats qui se sont déroulés en mai-juin 1940. Une étude générale des relations franco-italiennes et du contexte géopolitique permet de comprendre pourquoi, après d'aussi longues relations complexes et passionnées, l'Italie a déclaré la guerre à la France. Les aspects spécifiques de la guerre en montagne, en particulier les fortifications des Alpes, la création de troupes adaptées au milieu ainsi que les plans d'opérations sont étudiés, afin d'expliquer le contexte de préparation de la bataille de chaque côté de la frontière. L'étude précise des combats porte sur le front central des Alpes, c'est-à-dire sur les secteurs géographiques du Briançonnais, du Queyras et de l'Ubaye. La défense de ce front de plus de 120 kilomètres, modifiée en profondeur durant toute la période de la drôle de guerre, est finalement confiée à seulement deux grandes unités du 14ème corps d'armée, le secteur fortifié du Dauphiné et la 64ème division d'infanterie, qui vont être opposées à plus de 6 divisions italiennes. Les forces en présence, leurs tactiques, leurs atouts et leurs faiblesses sont présentés ; l'enchaînement détaillé des opérations est restitué dans le détail puis analysé. Un bilan permet de comprendre les nombreuses causes de l'échec des forces italiennes. Enfin, des enseignements humains, tactiques et politiques sont tirés avant que soit abordée en conclusion la portée de ces évènements
The french army led a victorious battle in the Alps on june, 1940. It is undoubtedly, even today, the most unrecognized aspect of various fights which happened on may-june, 1940. A general study of french-italian relationships and geopolitical context allows to understand why Italy declared war on France after such complex and passionate relationships. In order to explain the context of preparation of the battle on each side of the border, this essay will focus on the specific aspects of war in mountains, in particular the fortifications of the Alps, the training of troops well suited to the environment as well as the plans of operations. The precise study of the fightings is centered on the middle front of the alps, specifically on the geographical areas of Briançonnais, Queyras and Ubaye. the defense of this front of more than 120 kilometres, amended in depth throughout the period of the phoney war, is finally entrusted to only two large units of 14th army corps, the dauphiné fortified sector and the 64th infantry division, which will be opposed to more than 6 italian divisions. Both armis, their tactics, their force and weakness are presented ; the detailed sequence of operations is returned in details and analysed. A balance sheet allows understanding the many causes of italian forces failure. Finally, human, tactic and policy lessons are learned before tackling the various consequences of these events

Abstract:

Bogna, Ovesca et Anza, vallées situées à l'est du Mont-Rose (4633m), appartiennent au bassin-versant du Toce, affluent du Tessin. Les pentes et les dénivellations sont fortes. Les versants sont taillés dans les roches métamorphiques de la zone interne des Alpes. Les Gneiss résistants qui affleurent à l'ouest et les micaschistes disposés à l'est ont subi l'érosion des grands glaciers quaternaires. Les vestiges des fluctuations tardiglaciaires et postglaciaires -moraines, éboulis- se retrouvent en haute montagne. Actuellement, l'attaque biochimique et la gélifraction agissent sur de larges espaces. La pente formé l'agent principal. Éboulis, solifluxion, avalanches, coulées boueuses, se succèdent sur les mêmes versants. Les processus morphodynamiques sont étagés. Des mesures quantitatives ont effectuées. Les quantités de débris exportés dépendent de la nature du substratum (>10m3 dans les accumulations quaternaires et <1m3 dans les gneiss) et du type de processus (<1m3 pour la gélifraction pure;>1m3 pour les avalanches; > 100m3 pour les coulées boueuses). Une carte des risques naturels potentiels a été réalisée grâce à une étude statistique. À partir d'une carte morphologique on a constitué un tableau matriciel d'après lequel on a tiré des corrélations entre des processus morphodynamiques et des paramètres (lithologie, pente, orientation, couvert végétal, densité de drainage, tranche altitudinale)
Bogna, Ovesca and Anza, three valleys to the east of Mont-Rose (4633m) belong to the watershed of Toce, a tributary of the river Tessin. Their slopes and differences in altitude are very important. The valley slopes are cut out in metamorphic rocks of intern alpine zone. The resistant gneisses which breack through in places on western part and the micaschists that are localized on the eastern part, have been eroded by great quaternary glaciers the relict sediments of tardiglacial and postglacial fluctuations-moraines; screes- can be found in high mountain. Biochemic erosion and frost splitting are now acting o wide spaces. Yet the slope is the essential agent of de- gradation. Screes, solifluction, avalanches, mud-flows come one after the other on the same valley slopes. The amount of debris depends on the resistance of the rocks (>10m3 for quaternary accumulations and <1m3 for gneisses) and on the type of processes (<1m3 for frost splitting;>1m3 for avalanches; >100m3 for mud-flow). A map of potential natural hazards has been drawn from a statistical study

Abstract:

Until a few decades ago, scholars used to place republics at the center of the political and cultural Italian history between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This interpretation has now been revised. However, we are still missing a reconstruction of the alternative scenario that this would imply. Discussing this historiographical process and reconsidering the Italian geopolitical system under the new perspective of the centrality of the courts is a necessary premise to explain how Italian princely courts became culturally central and capable of exporting to Europe their ‘political language.’ In fact, princely courts carpeted the peninsula from Sicily to the Alps and maintained their cultural supremacy from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.

Abstract:

During the third millennium BC a widespread Copper Age ideology manifested itself within and around the Alps in ceremonial sites prominently marked by standing monoliths or orthostats (‘statuemenhirs’). The twin valleys of Valtellina and Val Camonica in Alpine Lombardy provide some of the richest inventories of this ideology. The apparent avoidance of anthropomorphism in the Central Alpine monoliths makes them distinct from those of other areas in the Alps and beyond. Combined with an ignorance or neglect of archaeological context (Fedele 2012), this was a reason why the age of the monoliths long remained problematic. From this shared trait and other inter-valley similarities one can envisage a particular ‘Camunian’ province, this adjective being derived from the Augustan name for the Val Camonica polity, the Camunni. In this province the ﬁrst statue-menhirs were discovered between 1940 and 1953 and in the adjacent Adige Basin to the east similar monuments had already been known since the late 1800s, although only published from 1925 (Menghin 1925; Pedrotti 1996). However, not until the ﬁnding and excavation in 1988 of the site discussed in this article, Anvòia, did anyone think that statue-menhirs and associated sites could have a ‘life’ beyond their original time frame: this latter being the Iron Age, as it was initially thought, or the Copper Age as we know now. The occurrence of whole or partial prehistoric monoliths in re-employed conditions—as roadside blocks; in vineyard walls—was considered banal and thus unimportant in archaeological or historical terms. Anvòia initially, and by the late 1990s two other monolith sites in the Val Camonica, Cemmo and Ossimo Pat, suggested instead that an appraisal of the vicissitudes of statue-menhirs after the Copper Age would be of great interest. The case-study presented here provides a demonstration of such possibilities. To avoid the plethora of designations, the general term ‘monolith’ will be used to indicate any kind of individually placed stone of relatively large size, often upright.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses Étienne Cleirac's commentary on the first article of the Guidon de la mer (The Standard of the Sea). In brief, he says that the Jews expelled from France invented marine insurance policies and bills of exchange in order to salvage their assets when fleeing to “Lombardy,” that is, to northern and central Italy. From there, Italian refugees exported the newly invented financial instruments north of the Alps, where bankers and moneylenders were called “Lombards,” a name eventually given to a public square in Amsterdam. Cleirac's merging of these spaces has the effect of tracing a direct line between fourteenth-century Lombards and seventeenth-century Amsterdam and makes pawnbroking appear contiguous with the most sophisticated forms of financial credit developed during the sixteenth century. This chronological compression is crucial to Cleirac's rhetorical strategy of making medieval Jewish moneylenders, the object of scorn and prejudice, interchangeable with the international merchant-bankers of the seventeenth century.

Abstract:

The following two chapters introduce aspects of popular revolt during the Italian wars that trace convergences with the late Middle Ages. First, Italy did not follow European paths north of the Alps with widespread insurrections comprised largely of peasants that cut across states and linguistic divides. From 1494 to 1559, peasant revolts increased (1) with extensions of the ‘German Peasants’ Revolt’ into northern Italy in 1524–25 and (2) with resistance against billeting and military abuses throughout this period. Their number, however, remained distinctly in the shadows of urban revolt. Second, alliances between urban and peasant rebels also increased. However, in comparison with other European regions, indifference or hostility between urban and rural rebels in Italy largely remained. Third, if mutinies of soldiers are discarded, economic revolts between employers and labourers were even sparser in Italy, 1494 to 1559, than they had been in the Middle Ages. The most striking exception was the year-long Lucchese revolt, called Gli Straccioni (1531–32), that began as a protest of silk workers against new impositions from their bosses, but like Florence’s revolt of the Ciompi in 1378, quickly grew into a revolt of the city’s popolo to extend political representation. Finally, Italy did not follow trends north of the Alps, where religious ideals and doctrines and the role of clerics became central to insurrection. Revolts spawned by religious ideology and influenced by clerics in Italy instead declined below levels even seen in the late Middle Ages.

Abstract:

This introductory chapter provides an overview of plague and public health in Italy and Europe. Plagues, and more generally the campaigns mounted by governments to address emergencies caused by outbreaks of epidemic disease, have remained an important area of historical research, and continue to remain relevant to the present day. It is often portrayed as having provided a template for public health, with some of the main strategies developed in the Renaissance and early modern periods as models for later policies. Italy has been seen as central to this process, developing the first ‘effective’ plague measures; for, just as the Renaissance was viewed as gradually ‘civilising’ countries north of the Alps, so was the influence of Italian administrative reactions to epidemic disease. Focusing on plague in Florence, the book examines, on the one hand, the mixed motivations and attitudes of those who ran governments and, on the other, the varied reactions and activities of the lower levels of society, suggesting they were far from passive actors who accepted decrees and legislation from above.

Abstract:

Switzerland is located at the junction of western, central and southern Europe, is landlocked and borders Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east. The country is geographically divided between the Alps, the Swiss plateau and the Jura, covering a total area of 41,285 km². While the Alps occupy most of the territory, Switzerland’s population of approximately 8.5 million people is mainly concentrated on the plateau, where the largest cities are located, including two global ones – Zurich and Geneva. Switzerland is at the crossroads of Germanic and Romance Europe and has four main linguistic and cultural regions: German, French, Italian and Romansh.

Abstract:

Un dels efectes més notables de la reestructuració econòmica viscuda a Europa durant les darreres dècades ha estat la intensificació dels processos de pobresa urbana i exclusió social. El que ha comportat el reforçament i agudització de les desigualtats socials i la segregació espacial, consolidant-se així una realitat urbana dualitzada. Les situacions d’exclusió social han tendit a concentrar-se en aquelles àrees urbanes que pateixen majors processos de degradació, amb una qualitat de vida i unes oportunitats econòmiques sensiblement inferiors a la del conjunt urbà més proper. Per treballar en favor d’un model de desenvolupament urbà sostenible i socialment més just, així com per donar resposta als reptes i necessitats especials dels barris amb dificultats, s’estan implementant, en diferents ciutats europees, respostes conegudes com programes d’intervenció integral. Aquests programes recullen de forma explícita la voluntat d’actuar sobre les múltiples variables que configuren i expliquen les situacions de marginalitat urbana. No plantegen actuacions focalitzades en la transformació de l’espai físic, sinó que també atorguen una atenció especial als diferents factors que interaccionen en la configuració social i econòmica de l’espai urbà. La perspectiva integrada implica la superació del model clàssic de compartimentació sectorial. L’element que canalitza l’actuació pública no són les responsabilitats i fronteres competencials, sinó els dèficits i les oportunitats que manifesta una determinada àrea urbana. Aquest model d’intervenció ha assolit un creixent protagonisme, tant en l’agenda política de diferents Estats i regions europees, com en la pròpia UE. L’any 1994, la UE creà la Iniciativa Comunitària URBAN. El programa recollia com a objectius generals la necessitat de fer front a la degradació de la qualitat de vida en determinats espais de les ciutats i actuar en favor de la redinamització socioeconòmica i ambiental de les àrees urbanes amb dificultats. A través de dues edicions (1994-1999 i 2000-2006), URBAN ha permès cofinançar 188 programes en 15 Estats Membres. En aquesta comunicació es presentarà els resultats d’una recerca sobre la IC URBAN, tot centrant l’atenció de l’anàlisi en el model d’aproximació a la realitat urbana que planteja. Aquest model es caracteritza per la perspectiva integrada de les qüestions socials, econòmiques i medi ambientals com a mecanisme per donar una millor resposta als problemes locals. Finalment, s’interpretarà l’impacte assolit per URBAN, emprant com a indicador l’anàlisi de diferents casos d’estudi de ciutats angleses, espanyoles, franceses i italianes One of the most notable effects of the economic restructuring undertaken in Europe during recent decades has been the intensification of processes that give rise to urban poverty and social exclusion. This has led to the reinforcing and sharpening of social inequalities and spatial segregation and to the consolidation of a dichotomous urban reality. Situations of social exclusion have tended to concentrate in urban areas that have suffered major processes of degradation and which have levels of quality of life and economic opportunity that are appreciably inferior to those of their nearest urban neighbours. Several European cities are currently working towards the creation of a model of sustainable and more socially just urban development and towards providing responses to the challenges and special needs of neighbourhoods with difficulties. This initiative forms part of what are known as integrated intervention programmes. These programmes explicitly share the will to take appropriate action to influence the many variables that configure and explain situations of urban marginality. They do not only propose interventions aimed at physically transforming space, but also dedicate special attention to the different factors that interact to determine the social and economic configuration of urban space. The integrated approach implies improving on the classical model of sectorial division. The elements that channel public responses are not responsibility and competence frontiers, but rather the deficits and opportunities manifested by a given urban area. This new model for intervention has gained increasing protagonism, both in the political agendas of various European states and regions and in the European Union itself. In 1994, the EU established the URBAN Community Initiative. The general objectives of this programme were related to the need to take measures against the loss of quality of life in certain parts of cities and to take action to promote the socioeconomic and environmental revitalisation of urban areas with difficulties. To date, two editions of URBAN (1994-1999 and 2000-2006) have permitted the co-financing of 188 programmes in 15 EU member states. In this communication, we will present the results of research relating to the URBAN Community Initiative, specifically focusing our attention and analysis on the model for urban reality that it proposes. This model is characterised by the way in which social, economic and environmental questions are addressed from an integrated approach, which serves as a mechanism for providing better responses to local problems. Finally, we will analyse the impact that the URBAN has achieved, using case studies based on British, Spanish, French and Italian cities as indicators in this analysis.
