    <description>Title: The building of the Cottonera fortifications : a Maltese protest against taxation
Abstract: On 28 March 1673 Mgr. Pallavicino informed the Cardinal Inquisitors&#xD;
that he had withdrawn the patents of some officials of the&#xD;
Holy Office. This decision was connected with the collection of tax&#xD;
which Grand Master Cotoner desired so much to impose in order to&#xD;
finance the construction of the new Cottonera fortifications around the&#xD;
harbour. The resulting crisis that erupted as a result provides insight&#xD;
into the method taxes were levied in Malta and the part played by Rome&#xD;
in determining and influencing local affairs. At the same time bringing&#xD;
to the fore one other perennial problem that characterized local history&#xD;
till the end of the eighteenth century, namely, the question of ecclesiastical&#xD;
immunity.</description>

    <title>'La Nuvola di Smog' : ricerca di un Eden</title>

    <description>Title: 'La Nuvola di Smog' : ricerca di un Eden
Abstract: Quando Calvino si accingeva a scrivere 'La nuvola di smog, pubblicato&#xD;
nel 1958, si facevano gia sentire le conseguenze negative del&#xD;
processo industriaie italiano, e del cosiddetto "boom" economico. Fra&#xD;
queste spiccavano l'inquinamento, piu marcato nelle zone industrializzate,&#xD;
e il conseguente senso di vuoto, di spersonalizzazione, dovuto ad un&#xD;
sempre crescente ritmo frenetico che caratterizza la vita di tutto il&#xD;
mondo occidentale industrializzato. Sebbene l'italiano medio avesse accesso&#xD;
all'automobile, alle vacanze all'estero, ad una gamma infinita di&#xD;
utensili domestici (lavatrice, frigorifero, e via di seguito), sentiva che&#xD;
non tutto andava come doveva andare: l'aumento notevolissimo del tenore&#xD;
di vita chiedeva il suo caro prezzo. 'La nuvola di smog e la testimonianza&#xD;
viva di questo confIitto: da una parte, le esigenze sempre piu&#xD;
assurde delle pesanti industrie siderurgiche, delle raffinerie, delle fabbriche&#xD;
per la produzione di materiale bellico; daIl'aItra parte, iI bisogno&#xD;
urgente di preservare l'ambiente naturale, rivendicato dagli ecologi, accoppiato&#xD;
al desiderio di un ritorno ad uno stile di vita che sia piu a&#xD;
misura d'uomo, messo a fuoco da gran pante dell'intellighentsia.</description>
