Nota bene

This publication is the first digital appearance of Anita Lucchesi's doctoral thesis. The use of the Manifold platform is an experiment that must be further developed. The version presented here has not been published for the general public yet, it was meant to be a Beta version of the online publication to be evaluated by Lucchesi's PhD jury members.
