“…In various geographical areas and across diverse historical epochs, a prevailing notion exists whereby menstruating women are perceived as possessing inherent impurity and concurrently as agents of pollution, with their menstrual blood regarded as potential hazards. Due to these beliefs, Italian folk healers used some plants as amulets, for example, putting Southern maidenhair fern aerial parts or oleander leaves in the shoes, to treat amenorrhea [17]. In other cases, cypress leaves were held on the neck to regulate menstruation or applied on the skin with southern wormwood leaves to treat amenorrhea [18].…”

Background: Plant-based remedies have been used since antiquity to treat menstrual-related diseases (MD). From the late nineteenth to the early to mid-twentieth century, Italian folk remedies to treat “women’s diseases” were documented in a vast corpus of literature sources. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to bring to light the plant-based treatments utilized by Italian folk medicine to heal clinical manifestations of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and menstrual disorders in an attempt to discuss these remedies from a modern pharmacological point of view. Moreover, we compare the medical applications described by Hippocrates with those utilized by Italian folk medicine to check if they result from a sort of continuity of use by over two thousand years. Results: Out of the 54 plants employed in Italian folk medicine, 25 (46.3%) were already documented in the pharmacopoeia of the Corpus Hippocraticum for treating MD. Subsequently, a detailed search of scientific data banks such as Medline and Scopus was undertaken to uncover recent results concerning bioactivities of the plant extracts to treat MD. About 26% of the plants used by Italian folk medicine, nowadays, have undergone human trials to assess their actual efficacy. At the same time, about 41% of these herbal remedies come back to in different countries. Conclusions: Active principles extracted from plants used by Italian folk healers could be a promising source of knowledge and represent strength candidates for future drug discovery for the management of MD.

“…L'indagine sulla dimensione abitativa dipende da variabili quali il titolo di godimento, il sovraffollamento e l'onerosità dei costi legati alla casa (affordability). Accanto a questi indicatori oggettivi, diversi autori hanno altresì sottolineato l'importanza di considerare congiuntamente ulteriori variabili di tipo soggettivo, legate alla percezione del benessere individuale e alla soddisfazione residenziale per descrivere in maniera più completa il significato di qualità abitativa (Nuvolati 2010;Nuvolati, Terenzi 2021).…”

The conversion of the urban economy in a creative and knowledge industry dimension required a strong strategic investment in improving the attractiveness of cities, focusing, above all, on young talents. Such a process happened without considering the distance between high cultural capital and low economic capital of this population which, from the housing point of view, translates into extreme fragility, showing the issue of affordability in all its contradictions. The outbreak of the pandemic has exposed social and housing weakness of young talents who represent the new urban vulnerability of post-industrial cities. The paper is based on empirical research carried out during the first lockdown on a sample of newcomer families residing in Milan since less than 5 years, aimed at understanding how this population experienced the emergency phase between 30 April and 24 May 2020. The results highlight aspects of economic fragility and social isolation due to the lack of social networks in the neighborhood. At the same time, however, in times of crisis there is a significant increase of relationships, interactions and exchanges between subjects, more likely to create or enhance a sense of intersubjective solidarity. Furthermore, for many new residents the experience of confinement in the attractive city triggered a process of change of future residential preferences, assuming new possible scenarios in the postpandemic city.
