Eredità coloniali: il movimento indipendentista eritreo e il ruolo dell’Italia durante la federazione Eritrea-Etiopia
2019
The official narrative underpinning Eritrea’s nation-building project describes the path toward independence in terms of the struggle against three uninterrupted colonial projects: the Italian, the British and the Ethiopian one. This article aims to provide more complexity to this picture by taking into account the evolution of the Italian foreign policy towards Eritrea in the first years of the Federation with Ethiopia (1952-1962). It looks in particular at the relationship between Rome and two prominent members of the independence bloc: Woldeab Woldemariam and Ibrahim Sultan. Archival sources from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Banca d’Italia, Banco di Roma, and the National Arc…
Civil society organizations in high-immigration borders. Between humanitarianism and the defense of rights
2020
Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el papel de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) en lugares de frontera con una alta migración, como son los casos de la frontera México-Estados Unidos y Marruecos-España, dos de los corredores migratorios de mayor importancia en el mundo. En estos espacios, sometidos a una vigilancia y una militarización cada vez mayores, las OSC vienen desarrollando desde hace tiempo una labor que se enfrenta crecientemente a los condicionantes impuestos por las políticas de control migratorio y de fronteras de los Estados. El artículo se basa en los resultados de del trabajo de terreno desarrollado en la ciudad fronteriza de Tijuana (México) y e…
Stercorary aseptic peritonitis due to diastatic caecal perforation: Computed tomography findings
2006
Caecal perforation is a complication secondary to colon obstruction. It may present with insidious clinical features and may be associated with chronic constipation. The event may become severe due to the peritonitic development. We present a case of caecal perforation associated with sub-occlusive carcinoma of the left colon and hypotonic colitis caused by chronic lavative abuse, demonstrated with Computed Tomography.

Recensione a M. Torri, Storia dell'India, Laterza, Roma-Bari 2000, pp. XXII+839
2005
L'area del subcontinente indiano è un territorio esteso e popoloso, che ha assistito al nascere e all'evolversi di numerose formazioni sociali e politiche, di innumerevoli religioni e tradizioni di pensiero, espresse in documenti scritti in molteplici lingue. Scriverne la storia è un’impresa estremamente ardua anche perché si ha a che fare con una catena di eventi lunghissima che precede di millenni la nascita di Cristo e al contempo che presenta insormontabili problemi di datazione degli eventi e delle fonti. Ma a tutto ciò, che di per sé costituisce già una sfida poderosa per quegli storici impavidi che hanno deciso di cimentarsi, si aggiunge la necessità di doversi confrontare con l'ered…

« Les ‘‘Européens’’, minorité protégée dans les colonies françaises »
2017
International audience; Les « Européens » formaient-ils une minorité dans les colonies ? Qui plus est, une minorité protégée ? Dans les textes régissant les colonies françaises, le terme « Européen » renvoyait aux Français d’origine métropolitaine et aux étrangers des pays européens naturalisés français. Si les « Européens » étaient numériquement moins nombreux que les natifs des colonies, ils entendaient s’imposer en tant que communauté référente. Minorité au sens numérique mais une minorité dominante. En effet, le droit colonial français, a minima, protégea les « Européens » ; a maxima, il assura leur domination, principe contraire à l’égalité républicaine et à la vision universaliste et …
Novel evidences for a role of dopamine as modulator of intestinal motility: a study on mouse distal colon
2014
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. It has been classically considered that the pathological hallmarks of PD affect primarily the substantia nigra. Nevertheless, it has become increasingly evident that PD is a multicentric neurodegenerative process that affects several neuronal structures outside the substantia nigra, among which is the enteric nervous system (ENS). Pathological alterations within the ENS could be involved in the gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction frequently encountered by PD patients. Dopamine (DA) seems to be a major candidate for the impairment of GI function in PD since its levels were found to be decrea…
'Another Art Altogether': Heart of Darkness come romanzo breve
2002
By referring to a number of studies on Joseph Conrad as well as to critical works on the novella as a modern narrative form (from Henry James to Leibowitz, Nemerov and Kundera), this article explores how a reading of Heart of Darkness as a short novel can add new nuances to a better appreciation of Conrad's masterpiece.
