Particular thanks are due to Dr. Pasquale Stano, whose help has been essenhal, particularly, but not only, with the bibliography also Rachel Fajella helped with the editing of some parts of the manuscript. I am also particularly indebted to Angelo Merante for the illustrahons and the formatting of the manuscript without him, the manuscript would shll be in my drawers. Last, but not least, I want to thank my students of the University of Rome 3, their positive feedback at the very early stages of the manuscript was very important.
