Walter Palmieri is a senior researcher at our Institute of Mediterranean Studies. His work focuses on environmental history and, more specifically, on landslides and hydrogeological disasters from a historical perspective. This is a recent interview with him on the subject, in which he discusses social vulnerability and the importance of historical memory, illustrating these points with the concrete example of Gragnano in Campania, an area prone to numerous landslides, some of which have been catastrophic.

The Mediterranean Studies District is launched in Naples

On 2 and 3 December, the Institute for Mediterranean Studies of the National Research Council (CNR-ISMed) promoted and organised an international conference entitled "Mediterranean or Mediterraneans?" at the Monumental Complex of Santa Maria La Nova. The conference was attended by numerous researchers and scholars from countries on the three shores of the Mediterranean, providing an opportunity for in-depth discussion on the challenges and dynamics that characterise the contemporary Mediterranean. During the conference, the "Mediterranean Studies District" was inaugurated, a hub that brings together the universities of Naples with the aim of ‘creating a system’ for research on the Mediterranean, which is still too divided and fragmented. The initiative symbolically promotes the city of Naples as a "bridge" between the three shores of the Mediterranean, emphasising the importance of shared scientific and cultural collaboration.
