To editor: Toscana Virus belongs to the genus Phleobovirus, family Bunyaviridae. They are transmitted in the Mediterranean area by Phlebotomus perniciosus and Phlebotomus perfiliewi sandflies (Braito et al., 1997). Toscana virus (TOSV) was first isolated in 1971 from Phlebotomus perniciosus in Monte Argentario (Grosseto, Tuscany) (Verani et al., 1982). Sandflyborne TOSV was recognized as a lead...

This study reports the results obtained on seventeen glass finds collected from archaeological site of Muricelle near Cosenza in Calabria (Italy), dated between first and third century AD. Chemical characterization was undertaken by using an electron probe micro analyser (EPMA). The glasses showed a soda–lime–silica composition indicating use natron as flux. comparison data those coeval availab...

The presence of Chionomys nivalis (Martins, 1842) (Mammalia Rodentia Cricetidae) in Calabria, the southern tip of the Italian peninsula, is reported in different literature sources, but the only Calabrian specimen, from Lago Cecita, Cosenza district, is preserved into Museo Zoologico “La Specola”, Firenze. A recent examination of this specimen, moreover, has shown that it is an Arvicola amphibi...

We review the state of the art of f(R) theories of gravity (in their various formulations), which have been proposed as an explanation of the cosmic acceleration alternative to dark energy. The successes of f(R) gravity are discussed, together with the challenges imposed by minimal criteria for their viability. Presented at SIGRAV 2008, 18th Congress of the Italian Society of General Relativity...
