The calamity that proved lethal for Pompeii inhabitants preserved the city for centuries, leaving behind a snapshot of Roman daily life that has captured the imagination of generations, including Renoir, Freud, Hirohito, Mozart, Dickens, Twain, Rossellini, and Ingrid Bergman. Interwoven is the thread of Ingrid Rowland's own impressions of Pompeii.
Few other cities can compare with Rome's history of continuous habitation, nor with the survival of so many different epochs in its present. This volume explores how the city's past has shaped the way in which Rome has been built, rebuilt, represented and imagined throughout its history. An imaginative approach to the study of the urban and architectural make-up of Rome, this volume will be valuable not only for historians of art and architecture, but also for students of cultural history and film studies.

The Age of Liutprand provides a thematic analysis of Lombard Italy in the pivotal early part of the 8th century. It surveys the crucial role and rule of Liutprand [712-44], the powerful and effective Lombard king. By restoring this successful exemplar of Lombard kingship to the centre of events and developments in the Italian peninsula, this book pulls together all the pertinent evidence for a 'new' kingship in Lombard Italy that used a sophisticated set of strategies to enhance, deepen and expand its effectiveness. In presenting an evaluation of Italy on the cusp of dramatic change, this book explains how not only the kingship of Liutprand, but also his legal reforms and his relationships with the Church and neighbouring peoples all contributed to a model of kingship successfully and subsequently deployed by Charlemagne and his successors later in the 8th century.
All’indomani del terremoto distruttivo dell’autunno-inverno 2016-17, il Comune di Arquata del Tronto è stato uno dei primi del Cratere Sismico, e certamente il più propositivo, nell’aprire un’interlocuzione con le università viste come l’istituzione più idonea ad offrire un contributo di conoscenze e di competenza per indirizzare il processo di ricostruzione. In questo contesto, il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università Roma Tre ha svolto studi e ricerche propedeutici ai piani di ricostruzione dei centri storici del comune, realizzando la ricostruzione virtuale di Arquata prima del terremoto ed un manuale del recupero dell’edilizia storica danneggiata ma non distrutta. Parallelamente alle attività di ricerca sono state compiute molte attività didattiche sul campo sia come tesi di laurea magistrale che di master e di dottorato, favorendo esperienze di integrazione tra didattica e ricerca, e fornendo, crediamo, un contributo significativo alla Terza Missione dell’Università.
