Book Description
A book that narrates several facts that have never been made clear, which took place at the end of the Second World War between Genoa and the mountains of Bargagli. They include the illicit trafficking of meat on the black market, several murders which have never been never solved and the disappearance of a treasure during the final liberation of Genoa in 1945. All of this will enable you rediscover and relive those historical moments. As the Second World War, was coming to an end, several facts and mysteries never completely clarified took place between Genoa and the nearby mountains of Bargagli, including black market trafficking which was rife back then, plus some homicides and massacres because of the disappearance of a treasure that the Nazi-Fascists had with them and had abandoned on the Ligurian mountains. What happened at the time intrigued much of Italy, so much so that several stories originated about what had happened around Genoa and Bargagli following murders and mysteries that continued even after the war. Written as a mix of an essay and an historical novel, the result is a reconstruction of those events until the surrender in April 1945 of the Nazi-Fascist troops, and a treasure of many millions of lire being left behind, as well as a huge amount of paper money and molds from the mint ready to print others, which mysteriously disappeared in the woods around, during the days of surrender.

Parlour Games and the Public Life of Women in Renaissance Italy
Author: George W. McClure
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442646594
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Confined by behavioural norms and professional restrictions, women in Renaissance Italy found a welcome escape in an alternative world of play. This book examines the role of games of wit in the social and cultural experience of patrician women from the early sixteenth to the early eighteenth century. Beneath the frivolous exterior of such games as occasions for idle banter, flirtation, and seduction, there often lay a lively contest for power and agency, and the opportunity for conventional women to demonstrate their intellect, to achieve a public identity, and even to model new behaviour and institutions in the non-ludic world. By tapping into the records and cultural artifacts of these games, George McClure recovers a realm of female fame that has largely escaped the notice of modern historians, and in so doing, reveals a cohort of spirited, intellectual women outside of the courts.

Book Description
The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has probably been the most important disease to emerge in the 21st century. This viral zoonotic disease has been a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but with a higher impact in low- and middle-income countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Up to December 4, 2022, more than 645,195,564 cases had been reported globally, with 6,640,845 deaths, and more than 13,054,668,703 doses of a vaccine had been given. Research has been of the utmost importance in the COVID-19 crisis: a great deal of knowledge was gathered between December 2019 and December 2022. Appropriate evidence-based management and the development of safe and effective vaccines have been key to controlling the virus. This book presents a selection of the last two years’ learning from research and clinical practice concerning SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.
