This dataset is supplementary material for the article “Agronomists within the State: A Political and Administrative Elite from Liberal Italy to Fascism (1861–1943)”, prepared for a special issue of Historia Agraria. It reconstructs the changing organization of the Italian central state administration in fields connected with agriculture between national unification and the fall of Fascism, with the aim of assessing how the expansion and specialization of public functions created new administrative structures and spaces for technical expertise. The dataset records the ministries involved, their abbreviations, directorates or inspectorates, divisions or offices, the years in which each organizational configuration was active, and the names of the senior officials associated with them. It includes structures located not only within ministries explicitly responsible for agriculture, but also within other ministries whose functions intersected with agricultural policy, such as the Ministry of the Interior. The data were compiled primarily from Linda Giuva and Maria Guercio (eds.), L’amministrazione centrale dall’Unità alla Repubblica. Le strutture e i dirigenti, vol. III, I ministeri economici (Bologna: il Mulino, 1992), and Giovanna Tosatti (ed.), L’amministrazione centrale dall’Unità alla Repubblica. Le strutture e i dirigenti, vol. II, Il ministero dell’interno (Bologna: il Mulino, 1992), supplemented with additional institutional and biographical sources. The dataset can be used to trace institutional reorganization, the multiplication and specialization of administrative functions, and the continuity or turnover of senior officials across different structures and political regimes. The evidence highlights the progressive differentiation of the state apparatus responsible for agriculture, from relatively simple early arrangements to a much more articulated set of directorates, inspectorates, divisions, services, and special offices, especially during the interwar period. The dataset should be interpreted as an institutional reconstruction rather than as a list of individual careers. The years reported refer to the period of activity of the administrative structure or organizational configuration, not necessarily to the full tenure of the official named in the same row. The same official may therefore appear more than once, and similar functions may recur under different institutional names as ministries and internal structures were reorganized over time.

This dataset is supplementary material for the article “Agronomists within the State: A Political and Administrative Elite from Liberal Italy to Fascism (1861–1943)”, prepared for a special issue of "Historia Agraria", a leading academic journal in the field. It was created to investigate the integration of agronomists within the central branches of the Italian state administration responsible for agricultural policy. The main research question concerns the extent to which the expansion and specialization of state functions created opportunities for such technically and scientifically trained officials. The dataset currently includes around 130 senior officials who headed directorates, inspectorates, divisions, special offices, and other central administrative structures connected with agriculture between 1861 and 1943. For each official, it records, where available, educational background and degree, together with years of service, ministry, and administrative structure. Multiple entries for the same individual make it possible to follow changes in position and institutional affiliation over time. The data were compiled primarily from "Linda Giuva and Maria Guercio (eds.), L’amministrazione centrale dall’Unità alla Repubblica. Le strutture e i dirigenti, vol. III, I ministeri economici (Bologna: il Mulino, 1992)", supplemented with additional biographical and institutional sources. The dataset can be used for prosopographical and institutional analysis of educational backgrounds, career trajectories, administrative continuity, institutional reorganization, and the changing role of specialized expertise within the state apparatus. Overall, this dataset supports the argument, substantiated by an extensive body of literature, that technicians faced persistent difficulties in gaining access to the state administrative structures of the Kingdom of Italy. At the same time, the evidence collected so far suggests the growing importance of specialized technical training, alongside the persistence of more general administrative and bureaucratic career patterns. It includes both well-known figures linked to academic and scientific institutions and lesser-known “bureaucratic technicians” whose role has received limited historiographical attention. The dataset is a work in progress. The number of officials identified is subject to change because the main source does not cover other ministries relevant to this survey, including Public Works, Finance, Public Education, and the Interior. Completing the survey and reconstructing the profiles of senior officials will require further research, particularly in the holdings of the Archivio Centrale dello Stato in Rome. Missing information, especially on educational background, should be interpreted as not yet identified rather than as evidence that an official lacked specialized training.

This dataset consists of a syntactic and pragmatic analysis of Euripides' Bacchae text, as edited by Giulio Guidorizzi (G. Guidorizzi, "Baccanti. Appendice metrica a cura di Liana Lomiento", Fondazione Lorenzo Valla, Milano, 2020). It isn't a complete analysis of the tragedy: it focuses on the speeches of Pentheus and Dionysus, the main characters, and includes every verse pronounced by them. Readers will find attached more files: the biggest one, "Complete analysis", includes all data and is divided into 5 columns indicating: verses containing the clause, speaking character, clause taken into account, syntactic analysis and pragmatic analysis. The other files, gathered in the folder, display amounts and percentages of occurrences in every section of the tragedy that includes verses pronounced by Pentheus or Dionysus. Further information about method and models used will be attached soon.

The CinEx archive collects information and materials, produces statistical estimates and visualisations aimed at reading the phenomenon of Italian cinema venues in relation to the media system, the territories, the productive fabric, and the social, cultural, and political context in which they are embedded. CinEx promotes an open and in-progress research model, with an expandable data collection system and an archiving logic in dialogue with other datasets. CinEx is organised into sections that reflect the complexity of cinema exhibition. The Venues section collects and presents data on cinemas from a geographical perspective (location of the venue, type of structure), a historical-evolutionary perspective (year of opening and closing; lifespan and transformations), an institutional perspective (character and category of the venue, screening order, type of screenings), and an economic perspective (ticket price, annual admissions and box office revenue, number of employees). The Screens section investigates architectural characteristics (number of seats, presence of a balcony) and technological characteristics (projectors and audio systems). The People and Companies sections host personal and professional data on owners, managers, legal representatives, architects, and builders of venues and the enterprises to which they belong. The Relations section surfaces the network of relationships among the various actors according to a rhizomatic logic. CinEx is designed to make data available according to FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse). Data are searchable through a system of filters and categories; accessible via a credentialing system; interoperable thanks to unique identifiers and meta-categories that serve as bridges for comparative research; and reusable and expandable in accordance with the logic of a research endeavour always in progress and always open to new uses. CinEx is conceived so as to enter into dialogue with other datasets, including the HoMER network — History of Moviegoing, Exhibition, and Reception — the Archivio Centrale dello Stato, the Romarcord project, and various partners from the Italian film industry.
