Arti Decorative tra Sicilia e Malta dal XVI al XVIII secolo. Artisti e capolavori siciliani riscoperti dagli archivi e dalle collezioni dell'Isola de…
La tesi nasce dal tentativo di colmare un vuoto storiografico negli studi delle relazioni artistiche e culturali tra Sicilia e Malta. L’intento primario è stato quello di riportare alla luce manufatti d’arte decorativa siciliana sull’Isola dei Cavalieri principalmente relativi al periodo della loro illuminata permanenza (1530-1798), cercando nello stesso tempo di ritessere le trame della storia alla ricerca di artisti, soprattutto orafi e argentieri, che ivi si erano momentaneamente o definitivamente trasferiti per praticare la propria arte e trarne profitto. The thesis aims to fill a void in the historiographical studies about the artistic and cultural relations between Sicily and Malta. T…
L’inventario dei giogali del cavaliere Fra’ Alessio di Ferro (1700-80): alcune considerazioni sull’oreficeria tra Sicilia e Malta
2019
The article deals with the inventory, in part unpublished, of 1763 of the jewels owned by the knight of Saint John Fra 'Alessio di Ferro, which is located in the State Archives in Trapani. He was an illustrious exponent of one of the most prominent families in the centuries of the city of Trapani linked to the island of Malta. The inventory offers the opportunity to reflect on typologies, materials and styles most in vogue between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Mediterranean jewellery and, consequently, the inspiration for some transversal reflections concerning the history of the male jewelry, still little explored, among Sicily and Malta.
Joannici w Łosiowie w średniowieczu
2022
Łosiów to dzisiaj wieś w województwie opolskim, w powiecie brzeskim, przy drodze z Opola do Brzegu. Jej historia jest znacznie starsza i sięga średniowiecza. Początki i rozwój tej wioski związane są z historią zakonu rycerskiego joannitów. Bracia zapisali się w historii Dolnego i Górnego Śląska na wiele stuleci, zarówno zbierając fundusze na wojny z niewiernymi, jak i przez gospodarcze eksploatowanie przyznanych im ziem, czy wreszcie służąc duchowo mieszkańcom tych dwóch regionów. Między XIII a XIV wiekiem joannici starali się zbudować wokół Łosiowa blok swoich majątków ziemskich opartych o linie Odry i nysy Kłodzkiej. Oprócz Łosiowa obejmował on opiekę nad kościołami w Wierzchu i Brzegu, m…

ELITES AND ECCLESIASTICAL CAREERS IN EARLY MODERN SICILY: BISHOPS, ABBOTS AND KNIGHTS
2009
Most recent research on Sicilian aristocracy in early modern age has shown how the elite of the island, while keeping its reference “ideological” models in the titled nobility of feudality, was actually a very composite social group, formed by bureaucrats, lawyers, merchants, former “gabelloti” (major tenants of estates) as well as by professionals. Moreover, joining this heterogeneous aristocratic group was increasingly linked, especially since the end of the sixteenth century, to a large availability of financial resources provided by these “new nobles”. During that period, infact, due to mounting economical troubles, the Spanish monarchy actually made a widespread use of conferring – or,…
