2019
Inediti documenti fanno in parte riemergere l’antico splendore dell’abbazia di Santa Maria di Altofonte, fondata da Federico III e retta dal XV secolo da abati commendatari appartenenti a nobili famiglie, come Ascanio Colonna, Scipione Borghese e Francesco Maria Medici.

Fontane e acquedotti nella Sicilia tra XV e XVII secolo
2014
Between XV and XVII century, the Sicilian cities deal with impressive works of modernization, trough the construction of new conducts and aqueducts. The most eloquent signsof this activity are the precious fountains, built in Messina and Palermo, with a clear role of civic propaganda.

Concordiae Agrigentinorum sacrum res publica Lilybitanorum. Nessi reali e presunti tra Agrigentum e Lilybaeum, a proposito di Iside. Parte I. Agrigen…
2019
The discovery of a temple at Agrigento in the neinties of the last Century and the recent detection of a sacred building at Lilibeo should contribute, according with their discoverers, to fill the lack of evidences concerning the Isis cult between the East and West part of Sicily. In order to re-consider the data that should confirm these two interpretations, the aim of this contribution is to take in exam the first of these two cases, Agrigento, suggesting, with the necessary prudence, a different lecture. Rather than an alternative hypothesis this lecture would offer a contribution to the debate. Some considerations on the sacred building and its location next to the Forum as well as on t…
Arcadio Blasco: : Cinco esculturas urbanas (1986-1991)
2013
Con las primeras elecciones municipales democráticas en España después del franquismo, los nuevos ayuntamientos establecieron programas para reconstruir las ciudades españolas. Un aspecto de estos proyectos fue la creación de espacios públicos donde la gente pudiera encontrarse en un ambiente agradable. Estas áreas se cerraron al tránsito y se amueblaron con árboles, bancos y un nuevo tipo de esculturas artísticas. En la zona de Alicante, el ceramista Arcadio Blasco, ya conocido en Madrid y en Roma, creó cinco monumentos urbanos de gran escala. Después de veinte años, el destino de cada escultura ha sido diferente: alguna permanece en buenas condiciones, pero otras han sido tratadas de tal …

Virgin and Child sculptures in Buenos Aire’s public collections, 12th to 16th centuries
2016
During the last years, the building process and history of art collections became a prolific field of study in Argentina.

But even if medieval art is considerably less represented than modern styles, there is an interesting amount of high quality medieval pieces exhibited at several museums in Argentina. The main purpose of this thesis is therefore to expand our knowledge of the medieval works of art in public Argentine collections, as related to their origin, dating, interpretation, technique and provenance. These pieces show great diversity of styles, provenance and techniqu…
