Appearance matters
an European research project
COST-ACTION IS1210 “Appearance Matters: Tackling the Physical and Psychosocial Consequences of Dissatisfaction with Appearance” (2013-2017) — this is the name of the research conceived and directed by Prof. Nichola Rumsey of the University the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. With a play on words in English, the title alludes to the fact that, in our contemporary life, "appearance matters", that is, "matters of appearance" become more and more problems of substance.
More and more people are experiencing their physical appearance with discomfort. These are no longer individual psychological problems, but a real collective phenomenon, affecting different age groups. On the one hand, such concerns reflect an increased awareness of one's own health. Conditions such as obesity or anorexia not only affect the aesthetic sphere but also have a marked effect on quality of life and life expectancy.
Silvana Greco, who heads the sociological section of the Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio Foundation, has been appointed by the MIUR to represent Italy in the European board of "Appearance matters". Silvana has to her credit numerous researches on the relationship between society and health, and has acquired a long experience in the field of scientific cooperation at European level.
Thanks also to the support of the City of Castiglione delle Stiviere, from 5 to 7 November 2013, the ancient Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio hosted the first international conference on "Appearance matters". Delegates from 23 countriesfrom Europe and Israel met to discuss social and cultural problems related to the physical aspect.
In the Cost-Action network, Silvana Greco founded and directed a passionate group of researchers from ten different countries - Ecuador, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Israel, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal and Sweden - on the theme of corporeality and appearance in the labour market. At the international level, there were three topics of investigation: academia, marketing and social services. The Italian research group focused on the latter two sectors. Giulia Artioli, Enrica Remelli and Giulia Tomasi participated in the research group promoted by the Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio Foundation under the guidance of Professor Greco.
2000 years

This didactic and research repertoire includes lectures on "2000 years of Jewish history in Italy", conducted by Giulio Busi at the Università della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, and available on request (info@fondazione-bondonipastorio.eu) on our website.

The Foundation continues the project, born in 2003 from the collaboration between the Institut für Judaistik of the Freie Universität Berlin and the Italian Institute of Renaissance Studies in Florence. The aim is to make accessible, for the first time, the entire library of cabbalistic texts translated by the converted Jew Flavio Mitridate for the philosopher and humanist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.
