Italians’ attitudes towards AI: How technology issues travel across social conversation
This paper explores public perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in Italy through the lens of science communication as a ‘social conversation around science’. Drawing on nationally representative survey data collected in 2023 and 2024 by the Observa Science in Society Monitor, it analyses how Italians access information about AI, their self-assessed information level, the use of AI-based tools, and attitudes toward the technology’s societal…
Before and after October 7: Changes in Italian Undergraduates' Attitudes towards Jews and Muslims
Inside the Italian Covid-19 task forces
In the year of the pandemic, an unprecedented number of temporary advisory units (consisting of a wide range of experts) emerged in the Italian policy-making landscape to advise the government on ‘crisis management’ in different policy areas–attracting vast media attention. And yet, to date, very little is known about the actual role and composition of these bodies. Our article bridges this gap, mapping these ‘task forces’ so as to understand: i)…
Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and archaeology of Middle Pleistocene localities near Ceprano, Campogrande area, Italy
The Ceprano human calvarium, dated around 400,000 yr, is a well-known fossil specimen. It represents significant evidence of hominin presence in the Italian peninsula during the Middle Pleistocene and may be considered representative of an archaic variant of the widespread and polymorphic species Homo heidelbergensis . Since its discovery (March 1994), systematic surveys in the Campogrande area near Ceprano, central Italy, identified 12 localitie…
Riflessioni e riflessi sulla comunicazione politica: La formazione del Governo dopo le elezioni politiche del 2018
The first Conte Government took office on the 1st of June, 2018, almost ninety days after the national elections held on the 4th of March: it is the longest period in the history of the Italian Republic between the date of the elections and the birth of a government. What happened to the political communication during this long period? By using content and statistical text analysis, three channels of political communication were analysed: online …
Emergence of regional cultural traditions during the Lower Palaeolithic: The case of Frosinone-Ceprano basin (Central Italy) at the MIS 11-10 transition
Visual Science Literacy: Images and Public Understanding of Science in the Digital Age
Since its very beginning, modern science has put images at the center of its communicative processes: drawings, diagrams, and schemes, and later photographs, satellite images, and film. In the age of digital communication, specialists and publics live constantly immersed in a visually dense environment, particularly when it comes to science and technology content. Do we have the competence to decipher all these images, often complex and elaborate…
