The genius loci of San Francisco’s little Italy: it all started with the food!
By Elizabeth Vasile Genius Loci is a Latin term, meaning spirit of place. Geographers, historians, and other scholars use it to refer to that element, or quality, or founding principle, that makes a place uniquely itself, that pervades or gives rise to, as a spirit would, all that takes place in an area.

Trattoria Da Vittorio worthy of trip to West Portal

UCLA celebra Aldo Manuzio e l’innovazione dell’editoria nel Rinascimento
Una rivoluzione dell’editoria paragonabile a quella dell’e-book? Non bisogna guardare in avanti per immaginare scenari futuristici, ma ripercorrere la storia a ritroso. E precisamente al XV secolo, puntando la lente d’ingrandimento su una Venezia spesso sconosciuta anche negli ambienti accademici più raffinati. Era il 1494 quando l’umanist...
