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.

Noterelle al «Filostrato» e al «Ninfale fiesolano» di Giovanni Boccaccio
2022
Abstract: This paper presents three brief reading notes on as many passages of the Filostrato (IV 51:1-8; IV 56, 4-8) and the Ninfale fiesolano (229, 1-5) by Giovanni Boccaccio, in the search for probable classical and medieval latin sources and models that have so far escaped the attention of scholars.
Il «De Cavichiolo»: una commedia umanistica al crocevia di generi diversi
2016
The so-called De Cavichiolo, a brief dialogic text comprising 76 elegiac couplets, centred on the exchange between a dissatisfied wife and a sodomite husband, has posed many delicate and controversial problems to those scholars who have studied this work.

Spunti di classicismo nei monumenti siciliani ai caduti della Prima Guerra Mondiale
2021
Dopo la conclusione della Prima Guerra Mondiale, tutti i comuni italiani cominciarono a erigere monumenti celebrativi in onore dei soldati morti nell’immane conflitto. Un aspetto meritevole di speciale attenzione, in queste opere commemorative, è l’utilizzo molto rilevante di forme ed elementi derivati dall’antichità greca e romana. Singole iconografie e singoli schemi tipologici, opportunamente rielaborati, potevano infatti adattarsi anche ai nuovi contesti celebrativi e ne rafforzavano il significato. La Sicilia sembra essere un buon case study per mostrare le potenzialità di un’analisi di questo genere: nei centri abitati di questa regione, come in tutto il territorio nazionale, sono pre…
