Book Description
Author travels to Italy for four days during Easter Week. She shares her journal, paintings, images, and insights as she travels through Italy's heartland. She is meeting her son who is a student in Ferrara as they both acquaint themselves with a land so many of their friends and grandparents left when only children. Mother and son travel together from Ferrara to Florence, Rome, and Bologna. The author hears "bombs" on Easter Sunday only to discover that the Italians use firecrackers to announce the Resurrection of Christ; they walk through a strike in Florence where the students and labourers part the way for them. From the moment the author arrives in Bologna until the moment she leaves, the adventure is non-stop. The journey is summarized through the summary of dream imagery: in Italy there is the sense of life, in Ferrara is the scent of life. Another book from the award-winning English Garden Talk Press and The St. Bridged Vineyard Press.

European Culture Wars and the Italian Case
Author: Luca Ozzano
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317365488
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
This book aims to understand the European political debate about contentious issues, framed in terms of religious values by religious and/or secular actors in 21st century. It specifically focuses on the Italian case, which, due to its peculiar history and contemporary political landscape, is a paradigmatic case for the study of the relationships between religion and politics. In recent years, a number of controversies related to religious issues have characterised the European public debate at both the EU and the national level. The ‘affaire du foulard’ in France, the referendum on abortion in Portugal, the recognition of same-sex marriages in many Western European States, the debate over bioethics and the regulation of euthanasia are only a few examples of contentious issues involving religion. This book aims to shed light on the interrelation between these different debates, as well as their broader meaning, through the analysis of the paradigmatic case of Italy. Italy summarizes and sometimes exasperates wider European trends, both because of the peculiar role traditionally played by the Vatican in Italian politics and for the rise, since the 1990s, of new political entrepreneurs eager to exploit ethical and civilizational issues. This work will be of great interest to scholars and students of a number of fields within the disciplines of political science, sociology and law, and will be useful for courses on religion and politics, political parties, social movements and civil society.

La realtà rurale delle fattorie didattiche in Italia
Author: Adriano Sofo
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1291637494
Category : Education
Languages : it
Pages : 158
Book Description
Le fattorie didattiche stanno dando una risposta a esigenze sociali ed educative: si fondano sul bisogno di agricoltura della nostra società. Uno degli scopi essenziali di questo testo consiste nell'analizzare i numerosi studi e ricerche che hanno affermato ormai da molto tempo e ribadiscono sempre più l'importanza, per l'uomo e in particolare per il bambino, dell'instaurare un rapporto precoce e corretto con la natura, gli animali, il mondo rurale e tutto quello che ne consegue. Un altro scopo è quello di approfondire la conoscenza in merito alle fattorie didattiche; capire il perché del successo che stanno riscuotendo in termini educativi e formativi fino a divenire vere e proprie agenzie educative, aule all'aperto: luoghi di incontro tra agricoltori, ragazzi, insegnanti e adulti. Infine, sono descritti alcuni percorsi didattici, giochi e laboratori da svolgere in fattoria con bambini e ragazzi di ogni grado scolastico.
