new participant & Italy Barnstar

I added myself to the WikiProject Italy today. I'm on wikipedia for two years and working mostly on the WikiProject Military History, specializing in articles about the Alpini, military Orbats and Coat of Arms of the Esercito. I came to the WikiProject Italy by chance, as I was looking today for a the Barnstar of national merit for contributions to articles about Italy, which I intended to award to User:F l a n k e r for tirelessly creating Coat of Arms of public institutions of Italy. (i.e. Guardia di Finanza. As I did not find a National Barnstar I quickly designed one combing the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Italy, our national flag and the basic Barnstar.

Variant B

Before I proceed (adding the Barnstar to the WikiProject awards or awarding it) I would like to know if there are any objections, suggestions or other wishes I should observe before doing so. thanks, --noclador 11:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Is this Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli in Caserta or is it not? Thanks. -- 201.19.40.176 17:01, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

"Università degli Studi di Napoli" is the University of Naples Federico II. The "Seconda Università" was at the beginning a section of the Federico II; most of the faculties are in Caserta, but it also has some in Naples, Aversa, Capua, and Santa Maria Capua Vetere.

Does someone know Bologna well?

Unidentified portico in Bologna

And, if so, can they possibly identify this building? (If so, pleaces just edit the Commons page accordingly, I won't be watchlisting this WikiProject page).

By the way, I believe we lack an article on San Pietro Cathedral in Bologna. - Jmabel | Talk 07:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Orion statue in Naples

Could someone write an e-mail in Italian to the owner of this website, asking for permission to license the top photo under the GFDL or another Wikipedia-compatible free license? Or else of course it would be great if someone in Naples could just take their own photo. This is for the article Orion (mythology). Thank you very much.--Pharos 06:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
