Ranke, Burckhardt e il "rinascimento orientale"
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce le reazioni di Ranke e di Burckhardt al "Rinascimento Orientale" del romanticismo e della cultura del tardo Ottocento. I temi trattati riguardano il tema della violenza nella storia, il significato del "sacrificio", il pericolo dell'anonimato e del quantitativo nella vita metropolitana. Un riferimento importante è svolto nel saggio da Quinet, cui si ricorre come a un "fil rouge". What stance on “Eastern Renaissance” did Ranke and Burckhardt take? This subject needed to make a survey of the German-Romantic idea of the East, focusing on Herder’s anthropology. Notoriously, Ranke and Burckhardt were very different historians, but they shared a negative opinion on “Eastern…
Oltre l'illusionismo pittorico: i teatrini prospettici nell'architettura siciliana tra Seicento e Settecento
2015
Durante i primi trentanni del XVI secolo l'uso in Sicilia di composizioni scultoree in prospettiva subì un significativo sviluppo grazie all'opera di Antonello Gagini (1478ca-1536) che conferì un vero e proprio effetto tridimensionale alle immagini scolpite nel marmo dando luogo ai cosiddetti "teatrini prospettici". L'inizio artistico di Giacomo Serpotta (1656-1732) diede il via ad una nuova, breve ma significativa fase orientata verso nuovi effetti prospettici. During the first thirty of the 16th century the use in Sicily of perspective compositions in sculptural reliefs underwent significanti development thanks to the work of Antonello Gagini (1478ca-1536) who passed previous models and l…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Survey with Commercial-Grade Instruments: A Case Study from the Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey, Iraq
2018
Low-altitude photography in archaeology is now common practice at the scale of excavations; however, landscape-scale applications are a relatively new endeavor with promising analytical potential. From 2014–2016, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a mounted camera was used to document sites recorded as part of the Eastern Ḫabur Archaeological Survey (EḪAS), an archaeological reconnaissance project in western Dohuk Province, Iraqi Kurdistan. The EḪAS team documented over 70 archaeological sites with the UAV, from single-phase artifact scatters, to archaeological remains with standing architecture, to tells that cover more than 30 hectares. Representative examples from this survey are pres…
Who Intends to Enroll in Entrepreneurship Education? Entrepreneurial Self-Identity as a Precursor
2018
Entrepreneurial self-identity is attracting increasing attention as a potentially relevant variable in explaining the entrepreneurial process. So far, most research treats entrepreneurial self-identity as a consequence of, or, at the most, as being developed through the start-up process. In this article, in contrast, we analyze its role as a previous element that helps determine the entrepreneurial intention of individuals, the perceived usefulness of entrepreneurship education, and, indirectly, their interest in participating in entrepreneurship education courses. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of Italian university students and graduates ( N = 88) with no previous participation in…
The first year of the “open discovery of stem laboratories” (ODL) project
2018
The Open Discovery of STEM Laboratories (ODL) project, co-funded by the European Community Erasmus+ KA2 program for 30 months, starting from November 2015, involves five countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, Estonia and Lithuania. It aims to implement teacher collaboration in creating and using μMOOCs (very short version of MOOCs-Massive Open Online Courses) for encouraging the use of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) remote/virtual laboratories into lessons. The challenge of the project is to impact on teaching process and inspire pedagogical innovation and modernization by means of open education resources, teaching/learning tools and best practices provided by European e…
Anti-Semitism and Progressive Era Social Science. The case of John R. Commons
2016
This paper explores Common’s views toward Jews in order to assess whether his published writings contain assertion that today would be stigmatized as anti-Semitic. The evidence we provide shows that Commons’ racial characterization of Jews was framed within a broad and indiscriminate xenophobic framework. With other leading Progressive Era social scientists, in fact, Commons shared the idea that the new immigration from Eastern and southern Europe would increase competition in the labor market, drive down wages, and lead Anglo-Saxon men and women to have fewer children, since they would not want them to compete with those who survive on less. Within this general xenophobic context, Commons …

Il caracol quadrato in Sicilia (XVI secolo)
2022
Square spiral staircases appear in Sicily during the 16th century in different contexts and for different purposes. This contribution focuses on two case studies at the “opposite poles” of a casuistry that shares the common characteristics of suspended ramps revolving within a square masonry box around a central void. By analysing these cases we find a probable link with models from Spain. At the same time, they demonstrate a common descent from a constructive culture rooted in the Spanish and Mediterranean stereotomic experience of the early modern age.
