The Last Grand Tour
A new study of Italy through the lens of its housing. Since antiquity, Italy has been the origin of key themes of Western architecture and culture, many of which continue to provide an inspiring frame of reference. Critically emulating the tradition and, in parts, the itinerary of the classic Grand Tour followed by European aristocrats, The Last Grand Tour takes a nuanced look at Italy today. Using the subject of housing as its hub, it offers new narratives and positions on current issues and developments. In the format of a graphic and textual atlas, this book explores Italy at various scales. Zooming in and out of themes, cities, and regions, it allows for associative and nonlinear comprehension and reflection. The spatial aspect of living, with its huge impact on the limited resources of land, is the starting point for the proposals and strategies the book offers. Its audience reaches beyond the professional architecture community, aiming at anyone with an interest in the much-debated topic of affordable housing and twenty-first-century Italy.

Universals of Language Today
This book collects the contributions presented at the international congress held at the University of Bologna in January 2007, where leading scholars of different persuasions and interests offered an up-to-date overview of the current status of the research on linguistic universals. The papers that make up the volume deal with both theoretical and empirical issues, and range over various domains, covering not only morphology and syntax, which were the major focus of Greenberg’s seminal work, but also phonology and semantics, as well as diachrony and second language acquisition. Diverse perspectives illustrate and discuss a huge number of phenomena from a wide variety of languages, not onl...
