The library system of the Catholic University of Milan provides makes its contribution to the formation offer of the universities of Milan, Brescia, Piacenza/Cremona and Rome with their 14 faculties to which we can add 53 master courses and 35 post graduate completion courses, reaching a grand total of 42,000 users between students, professors and outside users.The patrimony of the library system distributed among the centres of the Padania area is channelled into a joint electronic catalogue. Each campus maintains a centralized structure for acquisition, cataloguing and shelf readying.Besides the traditional forms of document acquisition, since 1998 the Milanese library has adopted the procedure of acquisition on a predefined profile, known as an approval plan. This is an agreement with a specialized provider by which the latest publications that correspond to a profile previously defined by the library, are chosen and sent to the library itself. The first approval plan, still standing, of the Catholic University, was drawn up in 1998 with Blackwell's. It relates to Anglosaxon publications on some subjects regarding business economics. The project was decisively extended in 1999 with the provider Casalini, for Italian publications on social sciences, pedagogy, economics, political science and subsequently psychology, Italian literature and culture and linguistics. The established aims of this project are basically two: reduce the times that normally pass between the publication of the latest editions and their effective availability for library users and improve the growth of collections in sectors that for various reasons are incomplete or only recently established. ; The library system of the Catholic University of Milan provides makes its contribution to the formation offer of the universities of Milan, Brescia, Piacenza/Cremona and Rome with their 14 faculties to which we can add 53 master courses and 35 post graduate completion courses, reaching a grand total of 42,000 users between students, professors and outside users.The patrimony of the library system distributed among the centres of the Padania area is channelled into a joint electronic catalogue.

In the centenary of the Italian researches at Haghia Triada, we propose a review of the LM I archaeological evidence from the old (1902-1914) and the new (1977-1999) excavations at the site. On the basis of recent analytical examination of the new pottery deposits, we distinguish two phases in the LM IA settlement, and one in the LM IB, and we assume an immediate reoccupation of the site after the destruction of the Villa Reale. Regarding the functional interpretation of the architectural structures, we emphasize the religious role of the Villa Reale. It was provided whit «Residential Quarters» and porticoed courts (Piazzale Superiore, Piazzale Inferiore) for ritual/ceremonial purposes and was perhaps a sacred and public building. Furthermore, we hypothetically recognize two other cult centres at the site, Casa Est and Casa del Lebete. Finally, we discuss the possibility that c.d. Tomba degli Ori had been used forfunerary depositions since LM I and the adjoining Complesso della Mazza di Breccia was connected with the minor activities of death rituals. Therefore, we would identify four functional poles in the settlement's structure: a religious one (Villa Reale, PiazzaleSuperiore, Casa Est, Piazzale Inferiore, Casa del Lebete), one for storage (Edificio Ciclopico, Bastione, Piazzale Inferiore), a residential (Villaggio) and a funerary one (c.d. Tomba degli Ori).In conclusion, we observe a strong continuity in the urban and architectural organization of the settlement, starting from the general reconstruction at the end of MM IIIB/TM IA until the LM IB destruction (and later, in the LM IIIA2 rearrangement), and we assume that the political power in LM Messarà had a collective and not a very hierarchical structure.

Il 19 giugno 2003, alla presenza del Capo dello Stato, il Presidente del Senato della Repubblica Marcello Pera ha inaugurato la nuova sede della Biblioteca in piazza della Minerva. Dopo più di centotrenta anni, la Biblioteca lascia la sede di palazzo Madama e apre al pubblico: mantenendo la propria identità culturale, ma offrendo strutture e servizi nuovi, secondo un disegno funzionale che ha comportato - nel corso di alcuni anni - un complesso lavoro di riorganizzazione e innovazione. ; On 19th June 2003, the Library of the Senate of the Italian Republic has been inaugurated in its new building, in Piazza della Minerva. After one hundred and thirty years, the Library moved from palazzo Madama and opened to the public in order to offer new services and facilities, but preserving its cultural identity. Historically, the book acquisition has been strictly linked to the cultural interests of the Senators of the Italian Kingdom, who, in most cases, were intellectuals: Italian history, Law, Philosophy, Politics, Literature. After the coming of the Republic, the Library has emphasized the doubleness of its nature, parliamentary and historical-jurisprudential. Its unique patrimony (more than 600.000 volumes) and the opportunity to offer it to scholars and to whomever could be interested in, have determined the moving to the new building, firstly promoted by Giovanni Spadolini. The restoration of this building, extremely compelling on a structural level, has taken more than ten years; now the Library can offer a wide range of specialized facilities: information rooms, Social Science room, Italian History room, Law History room, newspaper and periodical room, the exposition of more than nine hundred journals and magazines, a conference room and even some contemporary art works. The Library has its own web site, rich in information and links to other specialized web sites, and one is working to realize a functional integration, already started, with the Library of the Camera dei Deputati.
