New investigations in the North-East quarter of Motya. The archaic cemetery and Building J
2017
In June 2013 the University of Palermo excavations on Motya were resumed. The main goal of the new project is to investigate the north-east quarter of the Phoenician settlement and its urban development since the time of its foundation. Two main areas of excavation were opened. In the early cemetery sixteen cremation burials of the archaic period were uncovered. The most striking discoveries, never attested before, were a tomb containing Hellenistic offerings, and the occurrence of archaic infant cremations. The second excavation was conducted east of Zone K in Building J, which is characterized by its use of a fine ‘pier and rubble’ construction technique. Two rooms have been partially cle…
Il tesoro recuperato. L’inventario dei beni delle regine di Sicilia confiscati a Manfredi Alagona nel 1393
2007
Partendo dal ritrovamento, presso l’Archivio di Stato di Palermo, di un inventario di beni confiscati a Manfredi Alagona nel 1393, il lavoro ricostruisce il percorso del tesoro delle regine siciliane (Costanza d’Aragona, Maria di Sicilia) che era stato incamerato dagli Alagona, potente famiglia di origine aragonese trapiantata in Sicilia. Uno studio dettagliato degli oggetti inventariati permette l’analisi di vari aspetti legati al costume e alla società sul finire del XIV secolo, dall’abbigliamento alla tavola, dal gusto e la moda del tempo alla cura della persona, dalla passione per i gioielli al culto per le reliquie. Beginning from the discovery, in the “Archivio di Stato” of Palermo, o…
Wealth Creation and Science Research : Science Research, the root of wealth in our Knowledge Society, is endangered
Two vastly dierent historical stages in wealth creation are the traditional one based on agriculture during past millennia, and the one based on science research in our present globalizing knowledge society. The dierences happen to be so considerable, and the emergence of the second stage relatively so recent, that the awareness of the full range of consequences regarding the proper pursuit of science research, which is the root of wealth in our knowledge society, is missing to an extent that may, even in the medium term, seriously endanger the sustainability of modern human society. Here is presented a brief account of some of such dangers, following which a parable, entitled "Is it a mere…
Brancati su Pirandello e il pirandellismo
2019
Nel romanzo breve "Sogno di un valzer" uscito a puntate su “Quadrivio”, dal 5 giugno al 14 agosto 1938, Vitaliano Brancati mette in scena, tra osservazione dei luoghi e rilevamento di costume, un’umanità fuori misura, continuamente in bilico tra realtà e sogno. A Caltanissetta (Nissa) la città nel cui Istituto magistrale lo scrittore, voltate le spalle alla Roma fascista, è venuto a insegnare, personaggi non appariscenti, insignificanti, che tuttavia covano desideri, si arrovellano in domande metafisiche. Prende così forma il leitmotiv delle critica al pirandellismo che più volte con ironia sottile affiora negli scritti brancatiani. Il saggio mostra come esso si intrecci con la comicità sul…
Dai beni comuni al comune. Diritto, Stato e storia
2016
This article – which examines the volume by Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval, Commun – intends to work out the meanings, including their historical background, which pertain to a crucial discursive field in today’s political debate: those of the terms common /commons. The goal, following Dardot and Laval multifold proposal, is to understand how to overcome the evident indeterminacy of a word such as commun. The critical analysis of the extremely complex, and frequently fuzzy, genealogies of common /commons is a fundamental step in this intellectual program, indeed a precondition for the elaboration of a convincing conceptual tool. This concept is interpreted, following the perspective outl…

The Archaic Cemetery at Motya. A case-study for tracing early colonial Phoenician culture and mortuary traditions in the West Mediterranean
2016
The burial ground, roughly dating from the late 8th cent. BC onwards, is characterised in its earliest major phase by the almost exclusive practice of cremation, a rite that was introduced and largely attested in the Levant during the Iron Age1 . The same rite was inherited from the Phoenician homeland and became widespread in the western colonial world, where it eventually survived until the Hellenistic period. The purpose of the present paper is to re-examine briefly the archaeological evidence so far retrieved in the early island cemetery, stressing its main features and reviewing some of the current scholarly views and interpretations.
