La fortificación del Reino de Valencia en la década de1640 a la luz de la revolución militar
2019
This article proposes a study of the traditions in defensive architecture that concurred in the projects designed by Spanish military engineers for the fortification of the Valencian frontier in 1648 and 1649, in the context of the War of Catalonia (1640-1652). For this it is essential to follow the route of the Valencian adaptations to the military revolution in the matter of fortifications throughout the sixteenth century and compare them with those brought to Valencia in 1641 by the Marquis of Leganes and his engineers from the school of Milan.
Intermedio and Chorus. Re-thinking Theories and Practices in Sixteenth-Century Italian Theatre
2017
L'articolo mette a confronto le teorie fiorite nel corso del sedicesimo secolo sull'uso del coro e dell'intermedio nei tre generi teatrali dell'epoca (tragedia, commedia, favola pastorale). L'esame rivela che, lungi dall'uniformarsi agli asserti dei letterati pieni di riferimenti alle poetiche di Aristotele e Orazio, gli uomini di teatro paragonarono spesso l'intermedio al coro di ispirazione classica. La definizione di "coro intercalare" e di "coro istrione", avanzata da Ottavio Magnanini nel 1614, si può applicare alle tragedie di alcuni celebri autori del secolo precedente che accostarono il coro tragico all'intermedio, corrompendo in parte il ruolo drammatico del primo a favore della sp…
Memoria aragonese/anti-aragonese o confusione nella memoria? Castelli "federiciani" in Sicilia
2020
Partendo dalla constatazione che in Sicilia diversi castelli di dubbia paternità o verosimilmente eretti da Federico III furono attribuiti a Federico II, nonostante alcuni di questi fossero stati nel Cinquecento già ascritti all’aragonese, il saggio si propone di verificare fino a che punto in un campo specifico che è quello dell’architettura fortificata in Sicilia sia stata forte la memoria aragonese o, piuttosto, si possa parlare di “memoria anti-aragonese” e ricostruisce le cause che hanno portato a quella che più propriamente può definirsi “confusione nella memoria”. Starting from the observation that in Sicily several castles of dubious paternity or probably erected by Frederick III we…
“Speaking in Terror: Femininity, Monstrosity and ‘Race’ in Early Modern Culture”
2002
The chapter examines how the intersecting vectors of gender and race contribute to the configuration of monstrosity in early modern drama and anatomy, and how this construction is simultaneously powerful and haunted by the fear of the 'other'.
L'ombra lunga di Zarlino
2021
"The long shadow of Zarlino" · The first part is devoted to high¬lighting the special relevance modes have in Zarlino’s writings, where they are considered as “the forms of the compositions”. Zarlino reconsid¬ers, revises, and reorganizes modes from book to book. A crucial point is in the Dimostrationi Harmoniche (1571), with the proposal of a new modal order that no longer begins with D but rather with C. Zarlino wants to convince his readers that this new order is more rational and coherent than the previous one, since all the species of the perfect intervals (diapa¬son, diapente, diatessaron) now start from the same note, C. Moreover, the sequence of the finales finally coincides with th…
Rodrigo de Mendoza, I Marqués del Cenete y I Conde del Cid: paralelismos entre su biografía y su pretendida genealogía = Rodrigo de Mendoza, First Ma…
2018
El Gran Cardenal de España quiso, al legitimar a sus hijos nacidos de sendas relaciones ilícitas, consolidarlos como miembros de la nobleza castellana. Así fue, por ejemplo, con su primogénito Rodrigo, I marqués del Cenete y I conde del Cid, emparentado por voluntad paterna con Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, el Cid Campeador. Al apropiarse de esta ficticia genealogía, el prelado dotaba al mayorazgo legado a éste de un simbolismo que, a medida que el marqués fue madurando y curtiéndose en las guerras de Granada, las campañas italianas y las Germanías de Valencia, cobraba mayor verosimilitud a través de sus actos y acciones. El objeto de este trabajo es aproximarnos al perfil biográfico de Rodrigo de…
L'interés de la Renaixença valenciana pels poetes de l'Edat Moderna
2013
L’Estudio histórico-crítico de los poetas valencianos de los siglos XVI, XVII i XVIII, que en 1883 publicaren Josep Maria Puig i Torralva i Francesc Martí i Grajales, representa, a hores d’ara, el major exponent de l’interés que els escriptors valencians de la segona meitat del segle XIX manifestaren pels poetes valencians de l’Edat Moderna. És a dir, pels seus predecessors. D’aquesta manera, el present treball aporta informació biogràfica i bibliogràfica sobre tots dos autors, i analitza el contingut d’una obra que, malgrat haver passat pràcticament inadvertida per als estudiosos de la literatura contemporània, ha coadjuvat a la recuperació dels escriptors valencians de l’Edat Moderna que …

Afterword to the volume "War and Peace in the Religious Conflicts of the Long Sixteenth Century"
War and Peace in the Religious Conflicts of the Long Sixteenth Century
2023
Were early modern religious conflicts wars 'of religion', 'for religion', 'between religions', or 'about religion'? The ways in which war was waged and peace was agreed in the 'long sixteenth century' were strongly influenced by, had a deep connection with, and produced a lasting impact on, the religious divide of Latin Christianity in the wake of the Reformation. This collection of essays seeks to analyse historically these influences, connections, and impacts from multiple points of view.

Una tabla inédita de Fernando Yáñez y nueva luz sobre su estancia en Almedina (1518-1525)
2020
The contribution presents a new acquisition for the catalog of Fernando Yáñez, a Holy Family dating back to 1523, shedding new light on the artist?s production in the third decade of the sixteenth century during his return to Almedina, his birthplace, in a time frame that divides the works for Valencia, like the retablo mayor for the city?s cathedral, from his altarpieces for Cuenca.
