Fashion through History
This collection arises from an international fashion conference held at Sapienza University in Rome, Italy, in May 2015. It is dedicated to one of the main indicators of social change, fashion, analysed within various scientific fields, historical periods, and geographical areas. It offers a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the world of clothes, starting from a historical perspective, religious clothes, and traditional costumes, and then exploring fashion theories and more recent approaches and developments in the media and advertisements. The book analyses the clothing of various cultures, including the Hittite peoples and the less explored fashion of Eastern Europe, and it deals with craft traditions and national costume in different areas, including China, Greece, Romania and Georgia. It also investigates the style of marginalized groups and youth movements and the interpretation of fashion in the studies and writings of sociologists, philosophers and linguists, such as Fausto Squillace and Christian Garve.
Human mobility, health inequity and needs
This study, which brings together and consolidates the research work of the interdisciplinary EMHAM group, is focused on the relationship among human mobility, healthcare and fairness in public healthcare and treatment. The investigation of the information produced by the Emergency Departments of the Rome Metropolitan Area has proved to be strategic in identifying the healthcare needs of foreign populations. Many of the dynamics concerning migrants can be traced back to the inappropriateness of visits and accesses to the Emergency Departments. This information, together with the result of dynamic evaluations and assessments, is useful not only for healthcare issues, but also for the demographic, socio-political and economic characterisation of the phenomenon of human mobility.

Food and Culture (tre volumi)
Il cibo è nutrimento, è produzione agraria, è distribuzione commerciale, è medicina, è ideologia, è identità, è simbolo, e tanto altro ancora. L’analisi della cultura alimentare racconta la storia degli uomini nel suo divenire, riflette i ritmi dell’economia e le ascese sociali, definisce aree di influenza culturale e scambi di cibi, di costumi, di usi – ancestrali e recenti - di saperi tradizionali, di competenze, segna luoghi multiculturali che nel tempo mescolano, contaminano, scambiano uomini e piante, prodotti alimentari e consumi, cibi e conoscenze. È un grande patrimonio dell’umanità, frutto del superamento dell’unità culturale che rappresenta l’ampiezza di un p...
I Maestri del Bisso, della Seta, del Lino
The exhibition entitled “The Masters of Byssus, Silk and Linen” (13-22 May, 2017; Rectorate Palace, Sapienza University of Rome) intends to highlight the way in which, by processing raw materials, high quality fabrics can be achieved, which are then embellished by the weaver’s hand, as it was done in ancient times with silk and linen and is still practiced today with byssus. The unwoven fibers and/or fabrics were dyed in order to add extra beauty to the fabric. The exhibition, organized by the Commodity Science Museum, the Chemistry Museum “Primo Levi” and the “Polo Museale Sapienza” (PMS), with the collaboration of the Cultural Association “Visioni e Illusioni”, with the patronage of the Polish Institute of Rome, intends to highlight the additional value of fabrics when they are processed by the Artists, who are better defined as Masters of Byssus, Silk and Linen.
Il Palazzo del Verginese
Il libro propone un percorso conoscitivo sulla Delizia del Verginese, caso studio emblematico per la sua relazione con il territorio, la storia e lo stato di conservazione, inquadrata all’interno del sistema culturale delle Delizie Estensi rinascimentali. Attraverso gli strumenti di studio propri del settore disciplinare del Disegno, illustra un percorso di ricerca e analisi multiscala dell’architettura e del suo territorio, attraverso il rilievo inteso come cantiere della conoscenza. Partendo dall’inquadramento storico, il percorso di analisi individua una possibile genesi progettuale, l’articolazione geometrica, funzionale e la sua relazione con il giardino e il territorio circostante, arrivando a contestualizzarne la presenza nel tempo e nello spazio. Attraverso gli strumenti e i metodi della Scienza della rappresentazione ne viene infine restituita la forma nel piano e in 3D, suggerendo alcuni percorsi comunicativi per la promozione e valorizzazione del Bene.
