City and the Super-Organism
This book traces how naturalism—the idea of a common theory uniting natural social systems—has contributed to major shifts in urban planning. Beginning in the 17th century, when the human body began to emerge as an inspiration for urban planning, the book examines the work of medical analyses of city life. Responding to the 19th century industrial revolution and 20th century modernism, the Second World War and mass motorisation, Dr Marco Amati shows how vitalism, eugenics, evolutionary theories and medical treatments were applied to understand cities and propose new urban forms. While critically evaluating the uses of naturalism, Amati also observes a renewed interest in the application of sciences to analyse city life, arguing that this is essential to help resolve challenges of human-induced climate change.

Pasquale Fasciano, l'uomo delle nevi
Cento anni fa nasceva a Monteiasi l'attore Pasquale Fasciano (1918-1974), un gigante alto 2 metri e 15 centimetri, che prese parte come comparsa ad oltre una trentina di film di vario genere e con attori di fama nazionale. Nel 1966 partecip al film ("A man could get killed"- M5 Codice diamanti) con James Garner, Tony Franciosa, Melina Mercouri e Sandra Dee. La pellicola divenne celebre per la colonna sonora "Strangers in the night" cantata da Frank Sinatra. Federico Fellini lo scelse per "Satyricon" e "I clowns." Nel 1958 interpret , insieme a Lucia Banti, "Waco, l'abominevole uomo delle nevi," ma il film, girato sulle vette del Mucrone e a Courmayeur, non raggiunse mai le sale. Vestito da "Yeti" (la pelliccia cost la bellezza di 1 milione di lire), i pi noti fotografi di Biella corsero ad immortalarlo. Lui cadde sulla neve e si frattur il braccio, mentre la Casa produttrice dichiar fallimento.Sarebbe bastato montare le scene e mandare la pellicola nelle sale: il resto lo avrebbe fatto il botteghino.
