Note sulla definizione della possessio nel Festo Farnesiano (Napoli, BNN, IV. A. 3)
2019
The eleventh-century manuscript known as the Codex Farnesianus (now Naples, BNN, IV. A. 3) sole medieval witness of Sextus Pompeius Festus' work De verborum significatione, transmits Aelius Gallus' definition of the legal concept of possession (Fest. pp. 260-262 L.). The interpretation of this definition entirely depends on the reconstruction of the text. Two passages are problematical because of two blank spaces (fol. 11r int., lin. 3 and lin. 4), in connection with which the scribe characterizes the model of the manuscript as 'blind' (caecus). Lindsay's edition of Festus' work does not constitute a codicologically valid starting point of for a reliable reconstruction of the definition. Fu…
Allusioni plautine ne «Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei» di Edward Bulwer-Lytton
2021
This note presents the summary and the analysis of citations, allusions and references to Plautus’s comedies in «The Last Days of Pompeii» by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. From the analysis here conducted it emerges that the English writer used Plautus for precise purposes, for ironic and satirical resolutions, appropriately contextualizing the allusions to Plautus within the plot of the novel.

Incontrarsi: teatri e ginnasi
2017
I teatri e i ginnasi sono tra le componenti più significative della riqualificazione del quadro urbano delle città ellenistiche, sia in Grecia che in Occidente. Si delineano gli aspetti culturali, sociali e ideologici di queste categorie di edifici- complessi e le valenze della loro acquisizione a Pompei.
Una caccia al cinghiale, mostri marini e temi nilotici nei mosaici pavimentali dell’ottocentesco palazzo Forcella a Palermo: tra suggestioni classich…
2016
The Marquise Forcella palace in Palermo shows a curious mixture of neoclassical and neo-medieval styles. It was built in the years immediately after the revolution of 1820. Particularly close to the Borbonic Court, Enrico Forcella was the administrator of the restoration of the Royal Palace in Palermo. As he had at his disposal the same specialized workers of the Royal Palace, he decided to copy some of the artworks from King Roger’s room and the Cappella Palatina. He also added some details derived from other Norman buildings in Palermo. These included the Zisa Castle, but he also sourced the Islamic Palaces of Andalusia, in particular the Alhambra in Granada and the Alcazar in Seville. A …
Measure differential inclusions: existence results and minimum problems
2020
AbstractWe focus on a very general problem in the theory of dynamic systems, namely that of studying measure differential inclusions with varying measures. The multifunction on the right hand side has compact non-necessarily convex values in a real Euclidean space and satisfies bounded variation hypotheses with respect to the Pompeiu excess (and not to the Hausdorff-Pompeiu distance, as usually in literature). This is possible due to the use of interesting selection principles for excess bounded variation set-valued mappings. Conditions for the minimization of a generic functional with respect to a family of measures generated by equiregulated left-continuous, nondecreasing functions and to…
Quid meruere nepotes. Responsabilità e merito nella Pharsalia di Lucano
2017
Il contributo indaga l’epos lucaneo ricostruendo i contesti in cui compaiono nel poema meritum e derivati, immagini che coinvolgono tanto la nozione di merito quanto quella di responsabilità. Si tratta di un’oscillazione ben visibile ed operante all’interno dell’opera, dove tali accezioni tornano con frequenza a scandire tanto le azioni dei protagonisti quanto i severi giudizi del narratore. The paper deals with Lucan’s Pharsalia, reconstructing the contexts in which meritum and derivatives appear, images that both involve the notion of merit as that of responsibility. It is a highly visible and active presence within the poem, where such meanings frequently appear, characterizing both the …
Roma, faue coeptis. Pompeo e i Parti nell’ottavo libro della Pharsalia di Lucano
2015
The paper focuses on the section of eighth book of Pharsalia, in which Pompeius discusses with the members of the senate in order to decide the place to find refuge. Particularly, the choice that will bring Pompeius to death in Egypt is determined by the speech of Lentulus: in order to reject proposals for an alliance with the Parthians, he adopts the perspective of the ancient ethnocentrism and his prejudices. Nevertheless, in the architecture of the episode, it is determinant the rhetorical culture of the Author.
Pittura antica e restauro virtuale
2020
This contribution presents the preliminary work, carried out over the past few months, concerning the reconstructive study of the paintings and mosaics of the Centennial House ", Insula IX-8, in Pompeii. In particular, the work focused on the decorated surfaces of 11 rooms located along the western part of the house, between the large central peristyle and the centenary alley. The different state of conservation of the paintings and mosaics made it necessary to use two different methods of digital intervention: the "virtual restoration" and the "virtual reconstruction". Both aim to reconstruct the initial condition of the appearance of the paintings at the time of their creation and use the…
The Contribution of Microchemical Analyses and Diagnostic Imaging to the Conservation and Identification of the Degraded Surfaces of Hellenistic-Roma…
2020
The Archaeological Museum of Palermo (Sicily) has recently presented the results of the restoration of three wall paintings from the House of the Masks of Solunto archaeological site. These significant paintings, dating back to the first century BCE, are the most significant examples of Pompeian style discovered in Sicily to date. The cycle of frescoes unearthed is the best preserved and most complete example of wall painting dating to the Republican Roman period in Sicily. This house was a luxurious private residence built on two floors and centred around a peristyle. This fresco cycle embellished the walls of a banquet room (oecus) discovered during an archaeological excavation carried ou…
