This work is inspired by the observation that an increasing number of cities compete to seize the opportunity to host events in general, especially those that are defined in the literature as mega-events. The work aims to find possible answers to the question of the link that binds the fate of the events, especially major events, with that of the city. This work also seeks to highlight a particular case of the mega-event, the International Exhibition in Rome in 1911, little known in the literature.

Health inequalities affecting migrant population have been largely analysed in the literature, but only scarce studies have been published on migrant’s utilisation of Emergency Departments (EDs). The aim of this work is to analyse the trends in the EDs utilization for the population resident in Rome during the period 2005-2015, overall and for specific causes. By comparing migrants’ access with that of the host population, the study evaluates differences on the healthcare utilisation rate of native and migrant populations.

: The primary objective of this paper is to analyze the main characteristics of recent tourism
policies in Rome by describing the local modalities through which the neoliberal approach to urban
strategies has been implemented. The first section highlights some general features of the city of
Rome and its tourism, which are particularly useful for understanding the specificities of neoliberal
tourism policies. The paper then proceeds to describe the most clearly defined neoliberal period of

The topics of inclusion and disability are currently discussed in modern society. In particular, the concept of accessibility draws a wide range of attention legislation, architecture and tourism. Accessible tourism is a quality perspective of tourism, and it provides a panorama of change and evolution. The paper, which focuses on the city of Rome, analyzes the advantages and criticisms of these "forgotten" and underestimated market niches. Information, transports, space distribution, and safety are involved in the development of the accessible destination.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms are emerging as some of the main healthcare prob-lems worldwide. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) measures have been adopted to reduce nosocomial microorganism transmission. We performed a case–control study to identify if the incidence of MDR bacterial infections while using pandemic-related preventive measures is lower than in previous years. From 2017 to 2020, we monitored hospital discharges over a four-month period (P #) (1 March to 30 June) in St. Andrea Hospital, Rome.

Migraine headache is the cause of an estimated 250,000,000 lost days from work or school every year and is often associated with decreased work productivity. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the relationship between perceived disability, job satisfaction and work productivity in patients affected by chronic migraineurs. Participants were 98 consecutive adult outpatients admitted to the Regional Referral Headache Centre of the Sant’Andrea Hospital in Rome, Italy.

The urban project "UnLost terriotires" is located in the areas of the extreme eastern periphery of Rome, within the 7th and 8th municipality, towards the Grande Raccordo Anulare.

Moving beyond traditional approaches to housing policies in the field of urban history, this chapter shows how the symbolic and ritual dimension entered into play in the establishment and development of the Villaggio San Francesco (Village of St Francis), a social housing complex built on the outskirts of Rome in the post-war period as the outcome of the collaboration between a committee composed of citizens from Rome’s upper-middle class, which had launched a public fundraising campaign to pay for the work, the Catholic Church and the Municipality.

Since the early 1990s, urban studies have been engaged with the issue of scale, so much so that the ‘urban question’ (Castells 1972) has also become a ‘scale question’, which means “systematically rethinking the relations between urban spaces and supra-urban processes of capital accumulation, political regulation and social struggle” (Brenner 2000: 361). In particular, the issue of scale draws attention to debates regarding changes in metropolitan areas and the role of political rescaling (Brenner 2004).

A research project aimed at the study of the archaeological context of the Basilica Julia in the Roman Forum (Rome, Italy) and the transformation phases of the building involved the use of different techniques of geophysical prospecting. In particular, Ground-penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) surveys were carried out in order to record the buried structures of the Basilica and the previous buildings laying in the southern part of the Forum.
