Abstract:
Seven Italian volunteers decided on 29 July 1914 to join the Serbian army responding to a proclamation issued by the son of Giuseppe Garibaldi, Ricciotti. They were Republicans and Anarchists, and saw their engagement as the advance party of Italian volunteers that would eventually force Italy to join the ranks of the Entente in order to accomplish the last phase of the Italian Risorgimento by liberating Trento and Venezia Giulia with the city of Trieste. Five of them were killed on the Drina river, while the remaining two returned soon afterwards to Italy. Nevertheless, their memory was honoured as the first Italian participants in the Great War and as the tangible proof of the Italian engagement in favour of Serbia, and later Yugoslavia.

Abstract:
This study assesses the levels of and relationships between the Motivation to donate, Job crafting propensity, and the Organizational citizenship behavior of blood collection volunteers in a non-profit association. An Italian sample of AVIS (the Italian Association of Voluntary Blood donors) blood donors (N = 1215) actively involved in organizing blood collection, were asked to complete the Italian version of the Volunteer Function Index, the Job crafting scale, and the Organizational citizenship behavior scale. The tools were verified by Confirmatory factor analysis and their relationships were explored using Structural equation modeling for hidden variables. The three constructs have overall high scores. Motivation to donate and Job crafting show a clear correlation, with the latter influencing volunteer Organizational citizenship behavior. The study highlights the need to take into consideration the Motivation to donate, Job crafting and Organizational citizenship behavior of volunteers, particularly in countries such as Italy, where blood collection is almost exclusively carried out thanks to spontaneous, altruistic, and disinterested commitment.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate food bank actors’ knowledge of food insecurity in Germany and in Italy, as well as interactions between food bank actors and food bank users. The study builds on a knowledge framework from an educational context and applies it to food banks. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a qualitative research approach. In all, 22 in-depth interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed through inductive qualitative content analysis. Findings German and Italian food bank actors interviewed had at least situational knowledge on food insecurity. Some actors of the Italian food bank also showed procedural knowledge. Interactions between food bank personnel and users were affected by feelings of gratitude, shame, anger and disappointment. Originality/value The study explores food bank personnel’s knowledge on food insecurity, which appears to be a knowledge gap, even though many prior studies were dedicated to food banks and food insecurity. The study contributes to knowledge systematization to provide best practice recommendations for volunteer-user interaction, and suggests how food bank managers and volunteers’ knowledge can be improved.

Abstract:
The actions of Balkan insurgents during Eastern Crisis of 1875-1878 were closely followed by Giuseppe Garibaldi and his supporters as well as by the Italian politicians and writers that were a part Mazzini?s school of thought. Garibaldi actively sustained the insurgents and his red shirts went to fight in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the first year of the Crisis. When the uprising evolved into a war of Serbia and Montenegro against the Ottomans the involvement of red shirts as well as the one of volunteers in general was considerable reduced, with the exception of the Russian contingent under the commandment of the Russian general Mikhail Chernyaev. However, the interest for the ongoing developments in the Bosnia and Herzegovina only changed the form, since Italian politicians and journalists made several projects trying to mobilize Italian general public to support South Slav cause. The Venetian writer Marco Antonio Canini even imagined a confederal solution for the nations in the Danube basin thus trying to overcome the conflicts between the nascent nationalisms that could dispute among them the territorial heritage of the Austria-Hungary after its projected demise. None of the projects were put in practice, but they remain as testimony of Italian interest and involvement into the Great Eastern Crisis and its consequences.

Abstract:
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the fear of being infected was a major concern, resulting in both physical and psychological effects. Despite several studies on fear of COVID-19 in the general population, the effects on healthy volunteers who face COVID-19 on the frontlines have not yet been investigated. Methods: An online survey on specific psychological variables related to COVID-19 was administered to 720 healthy volunteers, and gender differences were investigated. Results: The primary finding was that females showed higher scores in all dimensions assessed. A multiple linear regression conducted on both genders exhibited a similar pattern of predictors, highlighting the pivotal role of negative affect in the male group. Conclusions: The findings suggest that COVID-19 had significant effects on healthy volunteers, especially in the female group. Although the previous literature did not report the crucial role played by the negative affect in the male sample, these results highlight the need to deepen how both genders use different emotional strategies to cope with stressful situations. This study may be useful in the development of specific psychological support and ad hoc training for healthy volunteers.

Abstract. In recent years, both professional and volunteer clowns have become familiar in health settings. The clown represents a peculiar humorist’s character, strictly associated with the performer’s own personality. In this study, the Big Five personality traits (BFI) of 155 Italian clown doctors (130 volunteers and 25 professionals) were compared to published data for the normal population. This study highlighted specific differences between clown doctors and the general population: Clown doctors showed higher agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and extraversion, as well as lower neuroticism compared to other people. Moreover, specific differences emerged comparing volunteers and professionals: Professional clowns showed significantly lower in agreeableness compared to their unpaid colleagues. The results are also discussed with reference to previous studies conducted on groups of humorists. Clowns’ personalities showed some peculiarities that can help to explain the facility for their performances in the health setting and that are different than those of other groups of humorists.

Abstract:
Background and aims: Microbiota heterogeneity among humans is mainly due to genetic background, age, dietary habits, lifestyle and local environments. In this study we investigated whether the gut microbiota profile of Italian healthy volunteers could differ based on their geographical origin. Materials and Methods: 16S rRNA gene sequencing was employed to analyze the gut microbiota of 31 healthy volunteers from three different Italian regions: Apulia (South), Lazio (Center) and Lombardy (North). Results: Differences in microbiota composition were detected when the study participants were grouped by their region of origin and when they were classified based on age classes (p-values < 0.05). Also species richness was significantly different both according to Italian Regions (median richness: 177.8 vs. 140.7 vs. 168.0 in Apulia, Lazio and Lombardy; p < 0.001) and according to age classes (median richness: 140.1 vs. 177.8 vs. 160.0 in subjects < 32, 32–41 and > 41 years; p < 0.001), whereas the Shannon index and beta diversity did not change. Conclusions: This study identified differences in the gut microbiota composition and richness among individuals with the same ethnicity coming from three different Italian regions. Our results underline the importance of studies on population-specific variations in human microbiota composition leading to geographically tailored approaches to microbiota engineering.

Abstract:
Quando si parla di guerra civile spagnola e di brigate internazionali, il pensiero corre agli anni tra il 1936 e il 1939. Ma già un secolo prima, tra il 1833 e il 1839, durante la prima guerra carlista, una guerra civile divampata per una disputa dinastica, gruppi di volontari, rivoluzionari e controrivoluzionari, si erano mobilitati per accorrere in Spagna da tutta Europa. Lo studio dell impatto della prima guerra carlista sul piano internazionale è stato in parte trascurato dagli storici, pur offrendo alla ricerca diversi oggetti di indagine. La storiografia ha tradizionalmente preferito una prospettiva tarata intorno al concetto di Stato nazionale, per lo studio di un periodo considerato la fase cruciale del processo di corrosione delle strutture politiche, economiche sociali d ancien régime e della crisi del prestigio della monarchia spagnola nel quadro delle potenze europee. Le conseguenze della prima guerra carlista superarono però i confini della penisola: la Gran Bretagna, la Francia, la Prussia, l Austria, la Russia, gli stessi Stati italiani preunitari si mobilitarono per una parte o per l altra. Ma soprattutto si mobilitarono gli individui che volontariamente in Spagna si arruolarono per difendere i nuovi principi liberali o conservare le inveterate consuetudini, in quello che fu un momento di straordinaria partecipazione civile, il risorgimento della militanza politica a dimensione europea.

Abstract:
Il presente progetto di ricerca, sviluppato in collaborazione con l’organizzazione no profit “Fondazione Caritas Senigallia – Onlus”, ha come obiettivo l’esame del fenomeno del volontariato spontaneo in emergenza, contestualizzandolo all’interno dei processi di cambiamento dei sistemi di risposta ai disastri naturali e provocati dall’uomo attualmente in atto a livello globale. La ricerca svolta combina un’approfondita analisi della letteratura e della manualistica internazionale esistente a dati reali relativi a casi studio italiani. I risultati ottenuti rispetto al sistema italiano di volontariato in emergenza sono in linea con i principali trend riscontrabili a livello internazionale, tendenze che sottolineano l’inevitabilità e la necessità di un maggior coinvolgimento della società civile dalle fasi di prevenzione, fino alle operazioni di soccorso e di ricostruzione post emergenza. Ad oggi, in Italia, la figura del volontario spontaneo è ancora scarsamente considerata sia dal mondo accademico, sia dagli operatori istituzionali dell’emergenza, a differenza del volontario preventivamente formato e affiliato ad un ente di Protezione Civile, considerato come un’inestimabile risorsa dal sistema. Il primo livello di analisi si è focalizzato su un caso studio, la gestione del volontario spontaneo durante l’alluvione che ha colpito la città di Senigallia nel 2014, con l’obiettivo di identificarne i punti di forza e di debolezza per la costruzione di un primo modello potenzialmente integrabile con altri dati e applicabile in contesti differenti. IDEF0 è il linguaggio di modellazione utilizzato per questo scopo. Il modello ottenuto è stato valutato attraverso una comparazione con le più importanti guide e la manualistica del settore. I risultati ribadiscono il grande potenziale del volontariato spontaneo in emergenza e la contemporanea necessità di una sua appropriata gestione per l’ottenimento di un servizio efficiente ed efficace, anche se non coordinato da un’organizzazione ufficialmente parte del sistema istituzionale di risposta all’emergenza. L’analisi della gestione dei volontari durante l’alluvione di Senigallia del 2014 ha aperto la possibilità a nuovi studi nel settore finalizzati al miglioramento del modello creato e alla validazione dei risultati ottenuti. Considerando i diversi fattori che influenzano un sistema di risposta ad un’emergenza, lo studio svolto si è focalizzato sul contesto italiano, con l’individuazione di altri 5 casi studio – 3 alluvioni e 2 terremoti recentemente verificatisi sul territorio italiano - e l’analisi del sistema di Protezione Civile Italiano, dalla sua nascita, allo stato attuale, fino ad un possibile percorso di riforma. La comparazione dei casi studio, basata su un’ampia indagine condotta tra le organizzazioni che gestirono volontari spontanei durante le suddette emergenze, ha permesso l’individuazione di linee guida operative rivolte ad enti potenzialmente coordinatori di volontari spontanei in emergenza, la validazione dei risultati ottenuti con la prima fase della ricerca e infine la proposta di possibili percorsi di riforma del sistema di protezione civile italiano indirizzati verso il riconoscimento e l’inclusione del volontariato spontaneo in emergenza all’interno del sistema. Infine, con l’obiettivo di dimostrare i benefici e la fattibilità di un sistema duale italiano di volontariato in emergenza - affiliato e spontaneo – sono presentati due modelli di gestione del volontario spontaneo realizzati con il linguaggio di modellazione IStar, dal quale si evincono anche i passi operativi fondamentali per ricoprire questa funzione e gli effetti a livello sistemico.
This research project has been developed in collaboration with the no-profit organization “Fondazione Caritas Senigallia-Onlus”. Its main aim is to examine the phenomenon of spontaneous volunteerism in emergency, by analysing it within reform processes of the response systems to natural and man-disasters. The research combines a wide review of the existing literature and manuals, with real data from Italian case studies. Research’s results related to Italian emergency response system are in line with current international trends that underline the need and the inevitability of a deeper involvement of the civil society into emergency response operations, from prevention to recovery phases. Currently, in Italy, the role of the spontaneous volunteer is scarcely considered by both the Academia and professional responders, in opposition to the high value given to the Civil Protection affiliated volunteerism. The first level of analysis focuses on a single case study, the management of spontaneous volunteers during the flood emergency of Senigallia, in 2014, aiming at identifying strengths and weakness to build a first theoretical model to be adapted and adopted to other similar contexts. IDEF0 is the modelling language used for this objective. The obtained model is evaluated by a comparison process with main and most prominent manuals and handbooks of this sector. The results underline the big potential of the spontaneous volunteer and, at the same time, the need of an effective and efficient management, not necessarily performed by an organization officially part of the emergency response system. This first case-study has opened to new research opportunities to improve the obtained model and to validate the results. Considering that an emergency system is affected by numerous factors, the next research level only focuses on Italian context, by a multiple case studies analysis. 5 recent Italian emergencies – 3 floods and 2 earthquakes – have been deeply studied, in addition to a deep analysis of the Italian Civil Protection system, from its foundation to the current reform process. A survey carried out involving those organizations that managed spontaneous volunteers during above mentioned emergencies, has allowed to identify operational guidelines for potential spontaneous volunteers’ coordinators and managers; to validate previous research results; to propose policy inputs to the ongoing Italian civil protection reform process addressed to a recognition and to an involvement of the spontaneous volunteerism within the institutional emergency response system. Finally, in order to represent the benefit of a dual volunteerism emergency system – both affiliated and spontaneous – two models of the management of spontaneous volunteers are presented by applying the IStar modelling language. At the same time, the analysis of these models shows operational steps for an efficient and effective spontaneous volunteers involvement and its effects at system level.

This article introduces experimental reflection on the experiences at an ‘Employability Skills’ laboratory of a group of young volunteers from the National Civilian Service under the ‘Support and Inclusion’ project of the Employment Promotion Section (SPO in Italian) of the University of Naples Federico II SInAPSi Centre. Young volunteers were included as unstructured support figures in activities that sought mainly to assist and serve students with disabilities. More specifically, these activities included: accompaniment and support during lessons; digitization of teaching material; providing support for the assorted services offered by the University Centre; general training implemented by AMESCI staff; specific training implemented by SInAPSi operatives. The experiences, which were accomplished in cooperation with the Europe 2020 programme, included the creation of an integrated system to recognize and validate formal, non-formal, and informal skills, as a tool to promote youth employment (Striano, Capobianco 2016)

Abstract:
This chapter is on the experience of soldiers and veterans in Italy in 1919, with particular focus on those who volunteered to join Gabriele D’Annunzio’s occupation of Fiume. The seizure of the city was carried out in opposition to the Italian government and the Allies, and the ensuing regime crystallised many of the profound transformations in social power and relationships in Europe. A critical moment for the Italian state, it can also be regarded as an – inherently transnational – microcosm of the complicated patchwork of revolution and counter-revolution, civil war, anti-colonial movements, industrial unrest, demobilisation, nationalism and reaction that shook Europe between 1917-23. An examination of how these post-war changes were internalised and expressed by soldiers and veterans in their own words and through their actions provides insights into the nature of Italy’s post-war crisis and into veteran subjectivities. This case study investigates, through collective biographies, the mosaic of identifications of the soldiers and volunteers who joined the expedition, illustrating the fluidity of mentalities. The D’Annunzian challenge to Wilsonianism occurred in a context of widespread land seizures, protests and food riots involving soldiers and veterans who were determined to reshape Italian society along more democratic and equitable lines. The occupation was both a result of and a response to these developments. This reflection on soldiers’ actions, ideas and beliefs considers their role in a near-revolutionary moment and complicates our understanding of the political, social and military violence in post-war Italy.

Abstract:
This contribution sheds light on the complex dynamic that produces cultural, economic and normative frames of reference for popular adult education. A cultural frame is what gives meaning, and assigns values to, popular adult education as a context, place-, and time-specific experience. A normative frame is what legitimises its provision, whereas an economic frame is what makes it sustainable. The authors apply a frame analysis to an Italian Third Age University, as an illustrative case, to examine its establishment and continuous operation over four decades, despite today’s dominant neoliberal discourse based on a competitive market approach. Drawing on this analysis, the authors pinpoint some actions that may open interstices for resistance to such a dominant discourse by popular adult education providers, but also policy makers, professionals, and volunteers who support or are involved in popular adult education.

He first traveled to Italy in the crucible experience of 1918, as a volunteer with the Red Cross serving the Italian Army during World War I. Hemingway’s writing on Italy presented a constant and relentless criticism of Italian fascism. For this reason, he felt unwelcome in the country until after World War II and the election of 1948 that democratized Italy. Soon after, he returned to Italy, but as a wealthy celebrity

Abstract:
Every large organisation has to deal with institutional and professional learning, especially if it is responsible for the education and training of its own personnel. This paper presents the e-learning model, designed and developed in order to satisfy all potential educational needs in a life long learning perspective and to innovate the institutional learning in a modern working and operational environment within the Italian Army. This model is based on a long experience in the e-learning field gained through the years by the IT-Army Education and Training Command and School of Applied Military Studies - Turin with its Virtual Learning Centre and the University of Turin who work together for the education of the officers. The e-learning model for the Army was developed in a multifunctional way and human centered because the idea is to consider the personnel in both aspects as provider and consumer of educational services. For these reasons a net of several interconnected portals was built up, each of them with a specific goal, mainly based on MOODLE, the Learning Management System largely used by several universities, integrated with several tools. A specific attention was dedicated to define user friendly solutions in order to ease surfing the net and to be used by a wide range of potential users, where all categories of personnel are involved, like Officers, NCOs, Volunteers and civilian staff. In the paper a multidimensional analysis of the model is discussed with particular attention to three different main dimensions: pedagogical, users' perspective and technical.

Abstract:
Nowadays a large organisation requires a solid and efficient system for managing the learning process of internal organisation in a lifelong learning perspective. The Italian Army decided to boost the lifelong learning concept for military personnel in a modern and digital way by using the e-learning environment. This decision was based on the long experience of the Education and Training Command and School of Applied Military Studies (COMFOR-SA) Virtual Learning Centre (VLC) and its cooperation with the University of Turin in the field of e-learning. This cooperation allows to adopt innovative teaching and learning methods and enhance the internationalization program of the Bachelor and Master Degree in Strategic Sciences attended by Officers and civilian students. In order to reach the entire potential target audience, composed of all categories, such as Officers, NCOs and Volunteers and to maximise the use of e-learning for different didactic purposes a full spectrum lifelong e-learning project was developed. Initially the focus was based on the development of a special Hub composed of the Portal for Self-Paced Courses in combination with the Portal of Knowledge and the Support Portal. Then the User's E-portfolio and the Language Portal were added. The Hub expanded its area of competence and additional portals were created. All e-learning resources and activities were properly reorganised and structured in a full spectrum new concept for a more effective e-learning experience for all military education and training purposes. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the structure of the project in terms of contents, design and solutions adopted.
