El caballero en el mar: don Pero Niño, conde de Buelna, entre el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico
2013
El artículo se propone repasar y actualizar datos en torno a la vida de uno de los más significados caballeros del otoño de la Edad Media castellana, cotejando estos datos con el avance en los estudios sobre su principal testimonio biográfico, que es a su vez uno de los textos literarios medievales clásicos. Nacido hacia 1378, Pero Niño, futuro conde de Buelna, se educó en el ambiente de la corte real, donde su madre sirvió como ama de cría del futuro rey Enrique III. Hacia 1430, Gutierre Díaz de Games empezaría a escribir sus hechos en forma de extensa biografía. El Victorial es un documento crucial para la historia de España y Francia, especialmente significativo para la historia militar …
Filodemo, Cicerone, Nepote: a proposito del contesto storico-culturale di Oec. Col. XXII.9-48
2018
Until recently, Philodemus’ treatise On Household Management (Περὶ οἰκονομίας, PHerc. 1424) has been mainly used as a source for the reconstruction of early Epicurean economic thought (especially of Metrodorus’ writing Περὶ πλούτου). Over the past few years, however, scholars have called attention to Philodemus’ creative (yet philosophically orthodox) readaptation of Epicurean ethical and social theories to the needs of contemporary Roman society. Following this scholarly line, the present paper reassesses a passage from On Household Management (col. XXII.9–48) which has so far been interpreted as an unoriginal repetition of Metrodorus’ arguments, and situates it in the cultural context of …

«Per lo più senza desideri e un poco infelici». Ritratto della madre perduta in Wunschloses Unglück di Peter Handke
2020
In this work Wunschloses Unglück is read as if it were an impressionistic biography in images. The tale was born out of an attempt to give Handke’s fifty-year-old mother, who died of suicide, back a story and an identity. A way to give content and contours to the woman and to neutralize the depersonalizing effect of the news of the event in the pages of the local newspaper. The story of the mother is actually, from the very beginning, a reflection of the writer on his own work, on the difficulty of writing ‘true’ stories, on the tormented search for a precarious balance between description and documentation, between narration and image, between truth and fiction. Handke would seem to be gui…
