The deal of the century? The attempted sale of the Western Wall by Cemal Pasha in 1916
This article discusses the offer made by Cemal Pasha in 1915 to Albert Antébi to sell the area in front of the Western Wall in Jerusalem in order to dismantle the nearly thirty houses owned by the Moroccan inhabitants of the Maghrebi Quarter and create a space ‘reserved for the prayers of the Jewish people’. European Jews had already sought to purchase the same area from the Ottomans for several decades but had been denied, a situation that did n…

An Honest Broker
U.S. humanitarian activity in Jerusalem, and Palestine as a whole, from the early nineteenth century onward challenges the traditional view that the United States played a relatively marginal role in the region until the end of World War II. This article argues that American aid, initially understood as a religious duty of individuals, was transformed into an organized form of aid that served as a form of soft power in the region. The agency of U…

Hydrogeology of a high Alpine carbonate aquifer (Pale di San Martino, Dolomites, Northern Italy)
A 1:50,000 hydrogeological map of the Pale di San Martino Mountains (Northern Italy) was created. The map presents the merge of various pre-existing data with new field data collected between the years 2014 and 2016. Through the use of symbols and specific colours, the map shows various groundwater-related data such as the hydrogeological complexes, the location and size of the main springs, the extension of the recharge areas, the hydrogeologica…

This paper supports the ‘Hydrogeological map of the Sabatini Volcanic District’. The map provides an overview of the hydrogeological setting of the Sabatini Volcanic District, using experimental water level data integrated with former volcanological and hydrogeological studies. The 1:50,000 scale map was produced in order to provide support to local authorities and professionals working on groundwater management. Fifteen hydrogeological complexes…
Groundwater of Rome
This paper describes the contents of the new Hydrogeological Map of the City of Rome (1:50,000 scale). The map extends to the entire municipality (1285 km2) and is based on both the most recent scientific studies on the groundwater field and new survey activities carried out in order to fill the data gaps in several areas of the examined territory. The map is the result of a combination of different urban groundwater expertise and Geographic Info…

Hydrolithology of the area between Tuscany, Latium and Umbria regions (Italy)
Hydrogeological research lacks a standard methodology for supporting the management of groundwater resources in territory planning. The mapping of geological units in terms of their hydrogeological properties (such as permeability, effective infiltration, hydro-capacity) may provide a propaedeutical tool for calibration and validation of regional scale hydrogeological components (aquifer, aquiclude, aquitard). This work presents a hydrolithologic…
