    Description: The volume Contro Bernardino. Processi al maestro Amedeo Landi is the result of the discovery of unpublished documentation on the trials - only partly known - against the abacus master Amedeo Landi, who taught the Milanese merchants at the Broletto. This is an exceptional case not only because only one witness to the activity of the Milanese inquisitorial court in the Middle Ages (whose documentation has been entirely lost) was known until now, but also because of the role of the ecclesiastical court and its officials. The wealth of information and themes has prompted a team effort by the professors of the Department of Historical Studies to clarify the many aspects (political, religious, economic, documentary) of an event that shows the vitality of 15th-century Milan, in which the protagonist, the teacher Amedeo Landi, in an attempt to protect his students, clashes with the most important preacher of his time, Brother Bernardino of Siena, whose canonisation process is temporarily blocked precisely to shed light on the Milanese episode.

    Description: Il volume Contro Bernardino. Processi al maestro Amedeo Landi nasce dal ritrovamento di documentazione inedita riguardo ai processi – solo in parte noti – contro il maestro d’abaco Amedeo Landi che insegnava ai mercanti milanesi presso il Broletto. Si tratta di un caso eccezionale non solo perché finora si conosceva un solo testimone dell’attività del tribunale inquisitoriale milanese nel medioevo (la cui documentazione è andata interamente perduta), ma anche per il ruolo del tribunale ecclesiastico e dei suoi funzionari. La ricchezza delle informazioni e dei temi ha suggerito un lavoro d’équipe dei docenti del Dipartimento di studi storici per chiarire i molteplici aspetti (politici, religiosi, economici, documentari) di una vicenda che mostra la vitalità della Milano quattrocentesca, in cui il protagonista, il maestro Amedeo Landi, nel tentativo di tutelare i suoi studenti si scontra con il più importante predicatore del suo tempo, frate Bernardino da Siena, il cui processo di canonizzazione viene momentaneamente bloccato proprio per fare luce sull’episodio milanese.

    Description: The volume, dedicated to the 44th International Conference of the Italian Union for Drawing, investigates the theme of ‘Transitions’, which particularly effectively represents our time and the current condition of the discipline of Drawing. The term, beyond its generic meaning of an intermediate stage in a process in which a condition changes from one state to another, has always been used in various fields, from music to geophysics. In fact, the disciplines of drawing have always been confronted with themes and issues relating to transitions from one condition to another. The history of representation tells us of transformations, even epochal ones, relating to ‘drawing’, with all that such transitions entail: suffice it to think of the evolution of forms of representation, of instrumental apparatuses, of the mutability of supports, of the analogical-digital transition underway, of the new modes of communication on platforms, of the hypertrophic offer of images also on the net that confirms Guy Debord’s intuitions relating to the new spectacularisation of society. Similarly, representation triggers transitions in the prefiguration and communication of design, the anticipation and foreshadowing of future events.The challenges posed by the digital pose open questions whose scope can only be glimpsed, such as the relationship between drawing and the act of modelling, and the construction of new paradigms of visual language and communication. ‘Transitions’, almost implicitly, points to possible futures, the evolution of technique and the search for new modes of expression; at the same time, however, it can suggest silences and reflections in a process of connection between history, theory, criticism and construction.

    Description: This volume presents the results of a research project carried out by a team at the University of Milan. Since meeting almost 'for fun' in 2009, this team has grown over the years, and has now a place in international research on the value of playful activities and artifacts. More precisely, this publication is associated with the LALLACT project (Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims, Ludic Activities, and Cultural Tradition), which is dedicated to creating a digital Lexicon of games, starting with the spinning top and blind man's buff. The collected essays represent the outcome of a fruitful interdisciplinary discussion on these two games. More specifically, the miscellaneous volume proposed here is linked to the LALLACT project - Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims project. Ludic Activities and Cultural Tradition, whose ambitious goal is the creation of a prototype of a digital Lexicon of the game, starting from two 'pilot' voices, respectively the game of the spinning top and blind man's buff. The collected essays constitute the outcome, precious and at times unexpected, of a fruitful multidisciplinary discussion on the topics indicated.
    Description: Published
    Description: Il presente volume prende le mosse dalla riflessione scientifica svolta da un gruppo di ricerca dell’Università degli Studi di Milano che, riunitosi quasi ‘per gioco’ nel 2009, è andato negli anni non solo ingrandendosi, ma anche consolidandosi nel panorama internazionale degli interessi scientifici sul valore storico, sociale e culturale delle attività e dei manufatti ludici. Più specificatamente, il volume miscellaneo qui proposto si lega al progetto LALLACT - Lexicon of Ancient Ludonims. Ludic Activities and Cultural Tradition, il cui obiettivo, ambizioso, è la creazione di un prototipo di Lexicon digitale del gioco, a partire da due voci ‘pilota’, rispettivamente il gioco della trottola e della mosca cieca. I saggi raccolti costituiscono l’esito, prezioso e a tratti inatteso, di una proficua discussione multidisciplinare sui temi indicati.

    Description: Markov chains represent a classical topic of probability theory that has a large number of applications in different areas, including mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, natural science, economics and several others. Typical examples of Markovian models concern for instance the analysis and interpretation of DNA sequences, voice recognition and the design of procedures for analysis and browsing of the web. In computer science and in particular in the algorithmic area Markov chains have been used to introduce the so-called Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, which allow us to design probabilistic approximation algorithms for solving NP-hard problems. This work presents Markov chains and their algorithmic applications in a mathematical style, with a didactic spirit. It mainly has educational purposes, and it is specifically designed for teaching these topics in Italian university courses at a master level. 
    Description: Published
    Description: Le catene di Markov rappresentano un argomento di studio classico, di carattere matematico e probabilistico, che ha trovato un grande numero di applicazioni in varie discipline, dall’informatica alla matematica, dalla fisica alla biologia e alle scienze naturali, dalla sociologia all'economia e in molti altri contesti. Esempi tipici di modelli markoviani riguardano l'analisi e l’interpretazione di sequenze di DNA, il riconoscimento di segnali vocali, il disegno di procedure di esplorazione e analisi della rete web. In un ambito informatico e soprattutto algoritmico le catene di Markov hanno dato origine ai cosiddetti metodi Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), che consentono di definire algoritmi probabilistici di approssimazione per problemi difficili dal punto di vista computazionale. Questo testo presenta le catene di Markov e alcune loro applicazioni algoritmiche in uno stile matematico con un taglio principalmente didattico, rivolto in particolare agli studenti dei corsi di laurea magistrale a carattere scientifico delle università italiane.

    Description: "From sign to sound" is a research project aimed to investigate some peculiar features of the musical reading with reference to instrumental performance. Its purpose is to extend the present knowledge about cognitive, musical, and pedagogical aspects of the subject, pointing out problematic issues and solutions significant for the young musicians' music performance education. The main study profile, which differentiates it from very few existing international studies on the subject, arises from the particular situation of the Latin countries (to which some other Latin American countries must be added) that adopted, starting from XIX century, the syllabic designation of notes, abandoning the alphabetic one. The aim of the research was to clarify a) the extent to which the outlined situation is widespread in Italian and European instrumental teaching, b) what are the prevailing opinions about it, and c) whether different perspectives can be found based on instrumental families or educational schools.

    Description: "Dal segno al suono" è un progetto di ricerca che indaga alcuni aspetti peculiari della lettura musicale riferiti specificamente all'esecuzione strumentale. Il suo scopo è ampliare le attuali conoscenze sugli aspetti cognitivi, musicali e pedagogici in materia, evidenziando problematiche e soluzioni significative per l'educazione all'esecuzione musicale dei giovani musicisti. Il profilo peculiare di questo studio, che lo differenzia da pochissimi studi internazionali esistenti sull'argomento, nasce dalla particolare situazione dei paesi latini (a cui vanno aggiunti alcuni paesi latinoamericani) che adottarono, a partire dal XIX secolo, la nominazione sillabica delle note, abbandonando quella alfabetica. Lo scopo della ricerca è stato quello di chiarire a) in che misura questa situazione si trova nella didattica strumentale italiana ed europea, b) quali sono le opinioni prevalenti in merito, e c) se si possono rintracciare prospettive diverse sulla base di famiglie strumentali o scuole pedagogiche differenti.

    Description: Can climate change really shape United States geography and geopolitics in the Arctic? So far, the question has seldom been raised. This essay demonstrates how the climate crisis is undermining traditional geopolitical concepts, such as the northern invulnerability of the American continent and the very concept of insularity of the United States, while climate change influences – but not determines – national security and defense policies. The research is dedicated to International Relations scholars, but can be appreciated also by readers coming from different fields, interested in politics, geopolitics, and climate change.
    Description: Published
    Description: La crisi climatica può davvero riscrivere la geografia e la geopolitica degli Stati Uniti nell’Artico? A lungo la domanda è rimasta in sordina: questo libro dimostra come la crisi climatica stia minando concetti geopolitici ritenuti tradizionalmente immutabili, come l'invulnerabilità del continente americano da nord e il concetto stesso di insularità della superpotenza americana. La trasformazione avviene in una cornice dove il cambiamento climatico è fattore che influenza – ma non determina – la sicurezza nazionale e le politiche di difesa. Il volume si pone come opera di interesse per gli studiosi di Relazioni internazionali, ma anche per un pubblico più vasto di lettori interessati alle questioni politiche, al cambiamento climatico e alla geopolitica.

    Description: An abbot, a journalist, and a man of letters, Giovanni Pellegrino Dandi (1664–c. 1726) curated, during his frenetic activity, the columns of various literary periodicals. His writings immediately caught the attention of some of the leading Italian intellectuals of his time, from Lodovico Antonio Muratori to Antonio Vallisneri. While filling a gap in the coeval cultural press, Dandi’s publications, such as «Gran Giornale de’ Letterati» (1701–1704), were, in fact, a fraud. Rather than creating original works, Dandi appropriated writings that had been printed before, and were later forgotten by the readers. Jacopo Narros brings to light the documentation about Dandi’s cheatings, creating an entertaining narrative of the editorial nonchalance of this singular erudite, and outlining his fascinating figure of forger and plagiarist. Moreover, by investigating the relationship between the «gran sottisier» and the 17th and 18th century literary community, Narros shows the dynamism of the intellectual life of that period. In those years, erudites like Apostolo Zeno and Scipione Maffei were active in structuring new communicative strategies to transmit innovative scientific discoveries and literary experiences to their readership.
    Description: Published
    Description: Giovanni Pellegrino Dandi (1664-1726 c.), abate, giornalista, poligrafo, nelle colonne dei vari periodici letterari da lui promossi nella sua frenetica carriera ha fatto risuonare le voci principali dell’erudizione di fine Seicento e inizio Settecento, attirando l’attenzione di alcuni degli intellettuali di spicco del suo tempo, da Lodovico Antonio Muratori ad Antonio Vallisneri. Le pubblicazioni di Dandi – a partire dal «Gran Giornale de’ Letterati» (1701-1704) – rimediavano a un’effettiva lacuna della coeva divulgazione culturale a stampa, ma erano il più delle volte confezionate rubando scritti già usciti in precedenza e ormai dimenticati dai lettori. Jacopo Narros ripercorre con grande capacità narrativa la disinvoltura editoriale di questo singolare letterato e, ricorrendo a molti documenti, ne delinea la figura di falsario e plagiario. Nello stesso tempo, ponendo il «gran sottisier» in rapporto con la comunità intellettuale sei-settecentesca, traccia il quadro di una cultura in movimento, nella quale altri autori – tra i primi Apostolo Zeno e Scipione Maffei – erano impegnati a creare nuovi e più fondati strumenti per trasmettere ai lettori una innovativa informazione scientifica e letteraria.
