Abstract. -This is the second paper based on the 408 MHz monitoring program with the East-West arm of the Bologna interferometer. The monitoring concerned 125 radio sources measured approximately once a month for 15 years. We present the summary of the variability analysis concerning all the sample and the monitoring data, not yet published, of the variable sources.

Abstract. We present the polarization properties at sub-arcsecond resolutions of 8 Compact Steep-spectrum Sources (CSSs) observed with the VLA A-array at 5, 8.4 and 15 GHz. We find that the three most compact sources, two of which are unresolved and have an angular diameter < 100 milliarcsec are not polarized. Of the remaining 5, the two associated with quasars have prominent radio jets while the two galaxies and one unidentified object are dominated by their lobe emission. The components of these medium sized objects with median values of percentage polarization of about 9% at 5 GHz and 11% at 8.4 GHz, are more strongly polarized than the compact sources and do not show evidence of very large rotation measures.
