This work, entitled "Copies, commentaries, and translations in the manuscript tradition of Dante’s Commedia. The case study of the mad family", aims to demonstrate, through the analysis of an emblematic philological case of the extreme complexity of the Commedia’s textual tradition, the internal stemmatic relationships within the mad family, examined in the light of new evidence emerging from the critical edition of the poem currently in progress under the direction of Paolo Trovato. By narro...

Shallow landslides threaten communities and infrastructure in mountainous regions, where climate change is intensifying and triggering rainfall events. There is a fundamental limitation for the current landslide detection approaches: methods based solely on rainfall duration and intensity achieve high detection rates but deliver excessive false alarm ratios, while methods using only terrain susceptibility fail to capture the temporal dynamics of triggering events. This persistent problem resu...
(ITA) La presente tesi offre un punto di partenza per una lettura complessiva della produzione letteraria encomia-stica fiorita alla corte di Borso d’Este (1450–1471), riconoscendole un ruolo di primo piano all’interno della cul-tura borsina e, più in generale, della letteratura cortigiana del Quattrocento. Il lavoro nasce dall’esigenza di mette-re a sistema i risultati di alcuni studi recenti e di fornire una contestualizzazione unitaria della letteratura di età borsina, che permetta di inda...

This research is situated at the intersection of authorial philology and digital humanities, and presents the development of a digital critical-genetic prototype edition of the autograph fragments of Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando furioso. Its aim is to combine the methodological rigor of traditional philology with the potential of digital technologies, in order to reconstruct not only the final form of the poem, but also the material and textual traces of its creative process. From the reconstru...
Aging is a biologically natural process that changes the structure and functions gradually at different levels, from the cells to the large-scale brain networks. Usually, physiological aging is associated with mild cognitive change; however, in a significant number of people, the process can become pathological and eventually result in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Differentiating healthy from pathologic aging is still a hard scientific and clinical problem, es...
Background: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are a well-established risk factor for the development of psychopathology in adulthood, including feeding and eating disorders (FEDs). Previous research has suggested that post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) and emotional dysregulation may act as mechanisms through which early trauma contributes to the onset and maintenance of eating-related psychopathology (Trottier et al., 2017; Cortés-García et al., 2019). Furthermore, depressive symptomat...
