Breaking Traditional Rules
The onomastic revolution—the adoption of names for newborns that departed from centuries-old traditions—is a proxy for a shift in mentality that began in Western countries during the eighteenth century. This change in naming practices cut across traditions that persisted for generations (vertical conformism) as well as within a single generation (horizonal conformism). Data from Italy, France, and the United States suggest that the onomastic revo…
The risk of being Giovanni or Maria
In the past, the choice of children's names was closely linked to life trajectories. This paper investigates the connection between children's names and child mortality during the demographic transition. Analysing data from the Veneto region (Northern Italy) and the Venetian parish of San Marco between 1816 and 1869, we find that traditional names are associated with higher neonatal mortality, particularly among girls. In contrast, children with …

An unexpected demographic regime
Démographie, paysannerie et famille dans la Provence du haut Moyen Âge, 813-814
Établi en 813-814, l'inventaire des paysans qui travaillaient pour l'abbaye Saint-Victor de Marseille donne des informations sur la dynamique démographique en Provence (France méridionale) durant le haut Moyen Âge. La structure de la population par âge est reconstruite et permet de constater qu'elle est similaire à ce que reflètent d'autres registres médiévaux européens. Avec des résultats très proches des données sur les cimetières provençaux du…
The Delayed Fertility Transition in North-East Italy
Spread of Cohabitation and Proximity between Kin in Contemporary Italy
In countries of Mediterranean Europe, characterized by strong family ties, close residential proximity between kin facilitates frequent exchanges of free mutual aid. This article focuses on the challenges to proximity posed by the spread of cohabitation in Italy. We consider an extensive definition of kin networks, including siblings and, for women in a couple, the parents and siblings of the partner. We confirm that couples who cohabit or who ha…
Just a Matter of Time? The Ways in Which the Children of Immigrants become Similar (or not) to Italians
In this paper, we study similarities between the children of immigrants and those of Italian parents using data from the Itagen2, a survey of a large sample of pupils, aged 11–13, enrolled in Italian junior high schools in 2006. We measure three different aspects—linguistic abilities, friendship with peers, and sense of belonging in Italy—and investigate the determinants of similarity using multivariate techniques. Our results suggest that the It…
A Comparison of Survey Techniques on Sensitive Sexual Behavior in Italy
This article compares two national surveys carried out through the most commonly used procedures in Italy: CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviews) and SAQ-FI (self-answered questionnaires following interviews). Both surveys ask two identical questions concerning sensitive sexual behavior: early age at first intercourse and same-sex attraction. The SAQ-FI survey had both unit non-response and item non-response rates much lower than the CATI …
Population and Family in Central and Northern Italy at the Dawn of the Modern Age
Despite the laborious process of gathering the data and some limitations due to selective incompleteness, catasti and estimi (fiscal cadastres) provide precious information on demographic differences within Italy during the Late Middle Ages and early Modern Age. The authors compare three areas: the countryside surrounding Lucca in 1411 (Tuscany, 5,792 individuals) and Varese in 1530 (Lombardy, 2,703), and the “quasi-city” of Legnago in 1430 (Vene…
An Analysis of Extremely High Nineteenth-Century Winter Neonatal Mortality in a Local Context of Northeastern Italy
A Portrait of Immigrant Children's Housing Experiences in Italy
In this paper, we describe the housing arrangements of immigrant children aged 11-14, comparing their situation to that of Italian children. Data come from the ITAGEN2, a statistically representative survey of students aged 11-14, living in 44 Italian provinces during the 2005-06 school year (10,537 Italians and 6,368 immigrants). Parents of Italian children are often able to combine three housing objectives: homeownership, spaciousness, and prox…
A note on
In a paper published in this journal, Renzo Derosas (2009) presents a study on the determinants of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Veneto in which he uses micro-data to analyse the relationship between maternal malnutrition and the risk of dying during the first weeks of life. Emphasizing that the case of Veneto, a large region in north-eastern Italy, is of particular interest, he says 'Scattered evidence from parish-register studies sugge…
The seasonality of conception
Individual data on menstrual cycles of noncontracepting women living in Western countries were used in order to verify whether the biological seasonality of conception persists after sexual behavior is controlled for. Episodes of intercourse were recorded daily, and the time of ovulation was detected by a marker. We find that the seasonality of conception changes with woman’s age and frequency of episodes of sexual intercourse. In particular, for…
