* Anzoleconte: Study of the toponym
Maria Gabriella Conte in a precious study wonders about the origin of the toponym * Anzoleconte.
The term refers to a place frequented from a social point of view as there are located a series of local services.
The toponym, relegated exclusively to oral use for a long time, underwent a process of "Italianization" when the territory began to arouse building, social and economic attention.
Diamonds in the Dark
Antonio De Luca reflects on light pollution as a phenomenon that prevents a good percentage of Italians from looking at the Milky Way, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Italy is among the countries with the most light pollution.
The area of the Pollino National Park, in particular the area south-east of the municipality of Castelluccio Inferiore, is among the areas with the least light pollution in the Italian territory.
