Introduction

Since this templateprovidesyou with the information and formatting specifications necessary for submitting electronic versions of papers, we advise you to print it as a reminder and to save a copy on your computer in order to work directly on the template.

Please use the following guidelines and write in the different sections, starting from the Introduction using the specific spaces for the different paragraphs and Conclusions. Remember that each paper should have a number of characters (spaces included) of between 30,000 and 50,000 without the Figures. You can upload asattachment to the paper a maximum of 12 Figures which must be sent preferably in color. You can introduce Figuresinto the text to have a general idea of the formatted paper but keep the Figure files separate because you will have to attach them (in high resolution) in JPG or TIFF format (300 dpi). In the case of images (photos, maps, graphs etc.) taken by other publications, a specific authorization must be provided and any copyright must be paid in advance.

Title of the first paragraph

Please write here the contents of the first paragraph. For the citations in the text use the following indications (De Vecchis, 2012, p. 2; Stoltman et al., 2009; Giorda and Tani, 2010, pp. 1-3; Pesaresi, 2007, 2008) and use (double) “English” quotation marks if they are necessary.

All Figures and Tables (in Word format) have to be numbered subsequently in Arabic numerals and they must have a caption together with any source to be placed under the Figures or Tables. In the text write (Figure 1), (Figures 1 and 2), (Table 1), (Tables 1-3). As far as concerns the positioning of Figures and Tables and for the style of captions use the following examples. We will introduce Figures and Tables with larger dimensions (in a single column) when it is necessary for better visualization.

Regions / Density of population

If going into greater detail and you want to include further elements and explanations which you consider useful, insert a note at the bottom of the page (with the same number in the text and in the note)[1]. Bold characters must never be used; Italics can be used for foreign terms which are not part of normal use in the chosen language.
