Italų istorikas Sebastiano Ciampi praleido apie 22 metus tyrinėdamas italų ir lenkų bendravimo istoriją. Tai yra pirmasis profesionalus Italijos istorikas taip rinkęs ir publikavęs informaciją susijusią su nagrinėjama tema. Pateikti visuomenei savo darbo rezultatus ir juos įamžinti jis XIX a. pradžioje išleido keturias knygas ir tritomį , kurios nėra prieinamos plačiajai visuomenei ir dažnai net nėra žinomos. Ir nors autorius dirbo Lenkijos vyriausybės užsakymu ir rinko informaciją apie jos gyventojus, tačiau, kadangi Lietuvos ir Lenkijos istorijos yra neatskiriamos, tarp surinktų duomenų yra dalis apie Lietuvą. Taigi pagrindinis šio darbo tikslas yra pažvelgti, kokią informaciją apie XVI-XIX a. Lietuvą autorius savo tyrimuose buvo aptikęs, pažvelgti koks yra jo indėlis į Šiaurės Italijos ir Lietuvos bendravimo istorijos tyrimus. Darbas pradedamas žvilgsniu į paties autoriaus asmenybę ir gyvenimą, vėliau pereinama prie jo rastos informacijos apie italus Lietuvoje ir lietuvius Italijoje, pateikiant medžiagą, kurią autorius rado ir kas leidžia daryti išvadas apie Lietuvoje lankiusiuosius svečius, jų nuveiktus darbus šioje šalyje ir įnašą į Lietuvos meną. Vėliau aptariami penkiolika įvairiais laikotarpiais rašytų laiškų, kurie publikuojami nagrinėjamose knygose, susijusių su Lietuva tiesiogiai arba tik juose minint vieną ar kitą lietuvį, ar lietuvių dalyvavimą įvykiuose. Galiausiai nagrinėjamos įvairios žinutės ir pranešimai, ir pasakojimai susiję su nagrinėjama tema...

This is the first professional historian, as the Italian witch collected and posted information related to the subject. To inform the public about his findings an to commemorate it in the beggining of XIXth centyry he published fuor books and Tritoma , that are not available to the public and often not even aware of them. And though the author has worked on behalf of the Polish government and sought information about its citizens, but as Lithuanian and Polish history are inseparable, among the collected data there are some news about Lithuania as well. So the main purpose of this research is to look what kind of information about the Lithuania in the XVI-XIX centuries, the author has detected in his studies, and to look what is his contribution to the Northern Italian and Lithuanian history of communication studies. So the work starts with the looking at the author's personality and his life, then it goes to the information, the author has found, about the italians in Lithuania and lithuanians in Italy, with the presentations of the material that S. Ciampi detected, with gives us the opportunity to lead to conclusions of the guests that visited Lithuania, their work in this country and the contibution to the Lithianian art. Later, fifteen letters are discussed. Letters, that were written in diferent periods and are published in these books, that directy or no... [to full text]

A predominant feature of Canadian society is the presence of a variety of ethnic minority groups which maintain distinctive values and patterns of behavior and which reside in readily identifiable ethnic concentrations. Literature describing ethnic minority residential clustering and dispersion stresses that because of the low socio-economic status of the members of these immigrant groups and because of their strong ethno-religious ties, they formed their own ethnic communities in urban core areas. As members, and their children and grandchildren particularly, improved their economic status and as their ethno-religious ties weakened, they began to move from the urban core ethnic concentration to ethnically mixed suburban communities. . This study focused upon Jews and Italians, two ethnic minorities which concentrate in ethnic clusters in the City of Vancouver and which have a substantial number of their members living in the suburban communities of Richmond, Burnaby, North Vancouver and West Vancouver. The research primarily addressed itself to exploring the associations between residential location and the following variables: ethno-religious identification, socio-economic status, generation status, and the nature and extent of social networks based on kith and kin. Responses to 157 questionnaires, which were administered to select groups of Jews, Italians, and Anglo-Saxons, were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques. The results indicate that for both the Jewish and Italian groups, the intensity of ethno-religious identification is strongest among cluster residents. Although suburban groups, in general, display a less intense ethno-religious identification than do the cluster groups, they are not homogeneous in this respect. Residents of the Italian urban cluster belong mostly to the foreign-born generation. Second, third-, and subsequent - generations are more apt to locate in suburbia. Such is not the case for Jews. A substantial proportion of Jewish urban cluster residents are third - and subsequent - generation Jews. Stronger familial ties and more extensive friendships with members of the same ethnic group are characteristic of Jews and Italians resident in ethnic clusters compared to suburban ethnic members. For Italians, socio-economic status among cluster residents is significantly lower than that of most suburban Italians. For Jews, this it not the case. Jewish cluster residents are significantly higher in socio-economic status than most suburban Jews. Planners should be aware that ethnic minority groups are not homogeneous. They are internally differentiated by ethno-religious identification, socioeconomic status, generation status, and the extent and intensity of social networks. These differences should be considered in the formulation of plans. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate
