Rewriting the Cities. Semiotics of Street Art for Social Policies
2025-11-12 13:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Rome) | Aula Magna – Complesso San Carlo
On Tuesday, November 12, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., the presentation of the book Rewriting the Cities. Semiotics of Street Art for Social Policies will take place in the DISTU Aula Magna (Via San Carlo, 32, Viterbo). The volume explores the presence of graffiti as a form of social communication that has spanned the centuries—from the inscriptions of Pompeii to the walls of contemporary cities. The authors adopt a semiotic perspective to investigate spontaneous inscriptions in public spaces as cultural traces, signs of belonging, and tools for social dialogue.
Speakers:
Tiziana Migliore, University of Urbino “Carlo Bo”
Orlando Paris, University for Foreigners of Siena
Raffaella Petrilli, University of Tuscia
Moderator:
Diego Femia, University of Tuscia
The event is open to everyone and is part of the courses in Semiotics (L11), Pragmatics and Argumentation (LM37), Semiotics of the Arts (LM2/89), and Political and Public Languages (LM62).

Workshop on the biodiversity of wetlands in Rome and the surrounding area
2026-01-15
On Thursday January 15th, in Rome, a workshop organized by the regional authority RomaNatura will take place, focusing on the knowledge, monitoring, and conservation of biodiversity in wetland areas within the city and the surrounding territories. The event will provide an opportunity for dialogue and exchange among researchers, managers of protected areas, environmental professionals, and interested citizens, aiming to explore the ecological value of these ecosystems and the most recent scientific methodologies applied to their conservation.
During the workshop, Dr. Francesco Cerini, researcher from our Department, will present the results of a sampling campaign based on environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis, carried out across all water bodies within the network of protected areas managed by RomaNatura. The presentation will focus in particular on dragonflies, a group of insects closely associated with wetland environments and widely recognized as important indicators of ecosystem health.
