This is a story of one branch of the Pepe family in America. Starting with its roots in Italy, the narrative tracks the family from 1800, through the years if the Risorgimento, to the hilltop village in Ferrandina in Southern Italy, then to Little Italy in New York, and finally, to the (then) bucolic suburban area of Gravesend in Brooklyn. Along the way the family intersects with a number of historical figures and events, including Guglielmo Pepe, the George Washington of Italy, Maria Barbella, the first woman ever to be sentenced to the electric chair, Calhoun Washington, who was born a slave, Heavyweight Champion Bob Fitzsimmons, General George Armstrong Custer, John Philip Sousa, General Pershing and Pancho Villa. The story is told in three parts. Part one details the history of Michele Pepe and his family, from Ferrandina to America, with stops in Little Italy and the Gravesend section of Brooklyn. Part two tells the true history of the family, from 1800 to the present. Part Three is a memoir of Old Gravesend in the late thirties and early forties, a remembrance of the time, the place and the people.
The book contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Congress on Science and Skiing, which was held at St. Christoph am Arlberg, Tyrol, Austria, in December 2013. The conference was organized and hosted by the Department of Sport Science at the University of Salzburg, Austria. It was also part of the programs of the steering group “Science and Skiing” of the World Commission of Sports Science and contains a broad spectrum of current research work in Alpine and Nordic skiing and in snowboarding. In the proceedings of this congress, the keynotes as well as the oral presentations are published. The manuscripts were subject to peer review and editorial judgment prior to acceptance.
Questo volume contiene il primo estratto dell'attività di schedatura realizzata dalla Direzione regionale del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali sui monumenti ai caduti della prima guerra mondiale in Campania, circa 700. La schedatura ha lo scopo di attirare l'attenzione su un patrimonio del secolo scorso capillarmente diffuso, che, espressione di arte pubblica destinata ad un pubblico di passanti e di cittadini e oggetto di commemorazioni considerate retoriche, è stato nel tempo guardato con una certa sufficienza rispetto all'arte delle avanguardie contemporanee e relegato in una sorta di limbo dalla storia dell'arte. Va ricordato lo scopo di questi monumenti: la memoria di un ...
