‘Back Door Sentencing’ in Italy: Common Reasons and Main Consequences for the Recall of Prisoners
2012
Italian law only provides the general conditions for the institution of recall. It follows that significant discretionary powers are enjoyed by the surveillance judges (and in particular by the Surveillance Tribunal) who evaluate on a case-by-case basis whether the commission of another offence or the infringement of parole conditions demonstrate the offenders' negative attitude to reintegrate into society. However, especially with reference to the commission of serious crimes, the judges' discretionary assessment can result in a restrictive application of the law on recall with the consequence that parolees are returned to prison even when they commit minor violations. The Italian peniten…

Participant Observation: The Personal Commitment in Native Life—A Problematic Methodological Topos
2020
While it is well known that fieldwork started long before Malinowski, it is equally well known that the ethnographic method based on participant observation has been, since the 1920s, taken as a foundation for anthropological research and for the scientific status of the knowledge acquired by its means. This essay has several purposes: highlighting some issues related to Malinowski’s theory and practice of research, which are full of implications not always grasped in their theoretical and methodological complexity; recalling some criticisms that have been put forward in the anthropological debate toward the notion of reflexive observation; discussing some uses and abuses of ethnographic pr…
The Contribution of Religiosity and Optimism on Well-Being of Youth and Emerging Adults in Italy
2017
In line with Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework positing that religion can provide youth with resources to thrive, this chapter presents a contribution analyzing the associations between religiosity and well-being among middle and late adolescents, and emerging adults in Italy. In fact, this country is a relevant context for studying this topic, considering the social and historical presence of Catholicism. We conceptualized religiosity as religious commitment and well-being as life satisfaction. Then, we focused on the mediating role of optimism between these two constructs and investigated differences among age groups concerning those associations. A multiple-group path analysis r…
Saint Benedict staring at us: Clients as the third party in Modern Art. A theoretical model and a case study in Renaissance Venice
2014
Il presente saggio intende approfondire il ruolo della committenza quale terza parte nel sistema dell’arte in Età Moderna. Al fine di identificare un possibile rapporto di terzietà nell’arte, l’approccio di ricerca si fonda sulla sociologia dell’arte e si concentra sul funzionamento economico della produzione artistica, pur sfruttando infine la tradizione dei casi di studio di matrice iconologica per verificare la correttezza del modello proposto. L’esempio sotto osservazione fa riferimento al Rinascimento Veneziano trattandosi del Trittico dei Frari di Giovanni Bellini, realizzato alla fine del XV secolo e concernente la disputa sull’Immacolata Concezione della Madonna. This paper aims at …
Management of severe perioperative bleeding: guidelines from the European Society of Anaesthesiology.

Second, implementation of strategies for correcting preoperative anaemia and stabilisation of the macro- and microcirculations in order to optimise the patient's tolerance to bleeding. Third, targeted procoagulant interventions to reduce the amount of bleeding, morbidity, mortality and costs. The purpose of these guidelines is to provide an overview of current knowledge on the subject with an assessment of the quality of the evidence in order to allow anaesthetists throughout Eu…
