#VIAGGIEMIRAGGI is the column created by Cinzia De Gregorio to tell her adventures and misadventures around the world. With an ironic attitude, she divides her travels into episodes, taking the reader with her and giving some advice and ideas.  
   
What is the influence of French on Italian? Why does English dominate other languages? Why are English and French so similar? The column #ETIMOLOGICAMENTE di Marianna Ciofani deals with these and many other linguistic curiosities o clear up doubts about the derivation of words and why many resemble each other so much.  

In the column #GREENTIPS di Chiara Costanzo every Thursday you will deal with a very topical issue: sustainability in all its forms. Her motto is "the only thing you can't recycle is wasted time", a strong and clear message in her writing! She calls her readers "Humankind", precisely because she brings people together as one group with one goal: through small steps we must protect our ecosystem. Follow her advice!   

In the column #RECEUSTIONI, Chiara Citarrella, Silvia Costa e Marta Golotta tell us about the TV series, books and films they liked, advising readers and helping them to find new products to read or watch.  

Tommaso Paolocci, UNINT student in the Master's degree course in Interpreting and Translation, close to graduating, is responsible for the creation and writing of the  #PAGELLEIGNORANTI, a light-hearted and goliardic column linked to the matches of our university's men's 5-a-side football team engaged in the weekly University of Rome tournament.  

In the column #CURIOSITÀDALMONDO, Erika Corso e Anna Nobili will tell us about everything that is beautiful and special about the world we live in: together with them we will discover the most bizarre customs, the oldest legends and the most beautiful places to visit. This is the column for those who have an innate curious instinct and love discovering new things and places, sometimes even "strange" and, why not, "mysterious".  

In the column #ARTEINSCENA, Fulvia Caporale passionately engages with the world of entertainment, outlining the aspects and nuances that most encompass this infinitely rich and varied sphere. In the articles published, the author focuses on a number of theatrical performances in which she participated as a spectator and one in which she had the pleasure and honour of actively participating as an actress.   

In the column #ANDITSOUNDSLIKE… Silvia Costa combines some of his greatest passions: writing, languages ​​and above all music. In her articles we will find reflections and comments on particular words, phrases with hidden meanings or idioms found in song lyrics: stay tuned!  

In the column #ARMOCROMIA Francesca Volpe reveals which colours are our friends and which ones do not suit us. We will discover with her that black and white don't go well with everything.  

The column #THEIDIOMSALAD di Giulia Coladangelo is a journey to discover the most bizarre and apparently illogical idiomatic expressions that the world's languages ​​have produced. A journey through languages, images and cultures in which, in diversity, we will discover that we are actually very similar.

In the column #NONCEDUESENZABELGIO, Marianna Ciofani  and Chiara Della Rocca take you on a journey to discover Belgium, where they are both based. Is it true that in Belgium they only eat chips and only drink beer? And are people as cold as they say? Follow their adventures to dispel well-known myths and discover new interesting things! 

#UNINTERVIEWS is a column created by Asia Festa who, full of curiosity, desire to discover the world and get to know new realities and personalities, will conduct real interviews with always different people, each one unique in its own way. We will discover new passions, hear interesting anecdotes, receive advice and meet stories of lives similar to or completely different from ours, which will leave their mark.

The "untranslatable" is still experienced today as a limit, beyond which advancing is uncertain and risky. Therefore, in the column #(IN)TRADUCIBILE  by Anna Bonetti, we will delicately move in the land of untranslatable words, and one by one you will see their origin to understand their meaning: the lack of a word in our language turns into a new discovery.

How did the Universe come into being? Where do we come from? Who are we? On what do natural phenomena depend? These are just some of the fundamental questions that human beings have always asked themselves. Before modern science came to the rescue to provide some clarity, man found explanations in mythological narrative. In the column #MITIDALMONDO, Alessandra Bigi tells us some of the most original answers to our big questions.
