From Survey to Graphical Analysis of the Monumental Entrance to the Verano Cemetery in Rome

This contribution describes the results of graphical analysis conducted on the monumental entrance to the Verano Cemetery in Rome, which was designed in the first half of the 1800s by Virginio Vespignani and finished around 1875 by the architect Agostino Mercandetti. The building, designed as an integral part of the architectural complex composed of the four-sided portico and the Church of Santa Maria della Misericordia, differs stylistically from a layout based on Renaissance Revival composi...

The Paths of Hope: Forced Migrations to Italy along the Balkan Route: Between Reception and Refoulement

Filogenesi molecolare del genere Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) con focus sulle entità endemiche italiane

La filogenesi nel genere Pinguicula L. è stata precedentemente ricostruita da Cieslak & al. (2005) con l’uso di marcatori plastidiali e da Degtjareva & al. (2006) attraverso la regione nucleare ITS. La stessa regione del DNA nucleare (nrDNA) è stata anche impiegata da Kondo & Shimai (2006), Shimai & Kondo (2006) e Shimai & al. (2007) per ulteriori studi filogenetici. In questi ultimi studi, sono già stati considerati alcuni taxa endemici italiani, quali P. fiorii Tammaro ...

Endangered plants: a comparison of applied methods for the assessment of extinction risk for rare plants in Italy

In this chapter we discuss how to assess the risk of extinction for plants using two different methods and six different species as case of study from the Mediterranean, namely from Campania, an administrative region of Southern Italy. Italy falls within one of the most important hotspots for biodiversity of the world: the Mediterranean region. In Italy, plant biodiversity is particularly rich, with some 7500 species with a high rate of endemics (13.5%). A great number of these species is cur...
