Come ex-dirigente dell’Istituto Comprensivo di Lodi Vecchio e come cittadina, l’autrice ha voluto godere della stesura di un nuova ricerca, che scava nella nostra storia e ne fa un parallelo con l’attualità: l’obiettivo è quello di valorizzare la cultura locale e il nostro passato, fornendo storici spunti interessanti al lettore. Lei ha ricostruito, altresì, i passaggi che portarono l’allora Presidente della Repubblica Italiana Carlo Azeglio Ciampi a conferire il titolo di città a Lodi Vecchio, senza dimenticare la biografia di San Giovanni da Lodi Antica, nato a Laus Pompeia e morto, dopo essere stato nominato vescovo, a Gubbio, in provincia di Perugia. E che dire dell'archeologo Antonio Frova, ora sepolto con sua moglie nel cimitero di Lodi Vecchio? Egli condusse i lavoriarcheologici dal 1955 al 1958, con tre campagne di scavi, per ritrovare l'antica Laus Pompeia.
When his former colleague Peter Sullivan dies, the narrator of Childish Loves inherits his life's work - a number of fragmentary manuscripts about the life of Lord Byron. Fascinated by his prose - and intrigued by the rather sinister rumours surrounding Peter's life, including whispers of an inappropriate liaision with a young boy - he has the manuscripts published and then sets out to discover whether the reimagining of Byron's lost memoires can provide a key to Sullivan's own elusive life and tarnished reputation. Acting as a literary sleuth, he sorts through boxes of Sullivan's writing; reads between the lines of his scandalous, Byron-inspired stories; meets with the Society for the Publication of the Dead; and tracks down people from Peter's past in an effort to untangle rumour from reality. In the process, he crafts a masterful story-within-a-story that turns on uncomfortable questions about childhood and sexual awakening, innocence and attraction, while exploring the lives of three very different writers and their brushes with success and failure in both literature and life.

Volume 2 of a three-volume final report thoroughly describes, synthesizes and analyzes the results of the four-year Integrated Research Project CIRCE – Climate Change and Impact Research: Mediterranean Environment, funded by the EU 6th Framework Programme. Conducted under the auspices of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, Italy, CIRCE was designed to predict and to quantify the physical impacts of climate change in the Mediterranean, and to assess the most influential consequences for the region’s population. This volume incorporates Parts 3 and 4 of the report, reviewing current knowledge of observed climate variability and trends in the Mediterranean, and including descriptions of available temperature and precipitation station and gridded data sets.
