Tra bisogni individuali e fruizione collettiva. Spazi delle biblioteche e pratiche di lettura in una prospettiva diacronica
2021
Over the centuries, libraries have profoundly transformed their spaces, their physical appearance, their organization, but they have always remained faithful to their dual mission: a) to support lifelong learning and individual creativity, and b) to foster community development, that is, the growth of all social groups and age groups. The evolution of libraries has seen a steady acceleration especially since the mid-19th century, when the industrial processes of book production definitely expanded the availability and accessibility of content for a largest audience. The improved socio-economic conditions were best suited to the birth and development of public libraries, acting as democratic…

Nuovi spunti su Benedetto Bacchini e il paratesto editoriale
2021
Three centuries after the death of the Benedictine abbot Benedetto Bacchini (1645-1721), the publication of the proceedings of an important conference dedicated to him has made it possible to reconsider his figure as a religious and intellectual of European rank. Among the aspects worthy of renewed attention, the significant role of the paratextual apparatus emerged, as a privileged area for expressing in deep the historical thought and vision proposed by Bacchini. The editorial paratexts of some of Bacchini’s works that were entrusted to the printing houses without the intervention of the author, edited by scholars who had great esteem and / or had been very close to him, also offer releva…
Un letterato e mestierante del libro tra Austria e Sicilia: Juan Silvestre Salva
2021
The dynamics of printed text production and circulation during the second half of 17th century are shown through an individual case study. Juan Silvestre Salva was a Spanish literate man active in Vienna (translator, occasional poet) before migrating to Sicily as a book professional (proof corrector, publisher and printer, and eventually librarian). His most important venture was perhaps the issue of some texts by Archimedes, that he managed to accomplish in Palermo, from the basis of a former edition that another printer had started in Messina, and then interrupted at the time of the city rebellion against the Spanish crown.
La imagen de la Concha de Oro en los impresos de la Edad Moderna
2020
For centuries, an image commonly associated with Santiago de Compostela (the shell) has accompanied the city of Palermo as well. Since the classical tradition and medieval literature, and then during the Renaissance and Baroque age, this symbol has been connected with other urban symbols (the rivers, the eagle and trhe Genius of Palermo), thus contributing to its historical identity, although in a rather idealistic form. Therefore, the expression «Golden Shell» has been used repeatedly in a large number of books printed during the Modern Age, with multiple meanings. The main purpose was to show those attributes linked with the city's landscape (wealth and beauty) within a specific political…
“Let there be light”. Andrew Carnegie e le biblioteche pubbliche
2021
The impact of cultural patronage for local development has so far not been adequately emphasized in comparative studies on public library history. Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), the famous entrepreneur of Scottish origins who, as a young man, emigrated to the United States (Pennsylvania), where the fortunes of his steel industry quickly made him an extremely wealthy man, can rightly be regarded as the most extraordinary patron of public libraries in the English-speaking countries between the 19th and 20th centuries. Later, mindful of the great value of free libraries for his self-training in his youth, Carnegie devoted several million dollars for the establishment of over 2,500 new public lib…
Avisos y relaciones manuscritos y impresos sobre catastrofes naturales y sucesos prodigiosos en Sicilia durante el siglo XVIII
2021
In the eighteenth century there is a large number of stories, both handwritten and in print, that describe extraordinary and unlucky events of different kinds: monstrosities, eclipses, or storms, floods, earthquakes, eruptions, etc. These stories, with respect to Sicily, take the form of occasional printed news, although sometimes they may be included in serials organized by different criteria (topographic/chronological/subject). Surviving documents in archives and libraries offer some opportunities to deepen the study of issues concerning the circulation and dissemination of news about the same event, their credibility, their formal characters and content. Very rare printed ephemera and ha…
Editoria e società: le biblioteche

Nei bozzetti e nelle illustrazioni storiche viene mostrato il lavoro di tutti coloro che hanno partecipato nei modi più diversi alla produzione del libro - l'autore, lo scrivano, il miniatore e i…
