Pareri, dispute e dibattiti nel cantiere del Duomo di Milano XIV-XVI secolo
2017
The «600th anniversary of the consultation on the construction of the Cathedral of Girona» can provide a good opportunity to review the studies and documents relating to the many debates surrounding the use of stone masonry in Milan Cathedral (Duomo di Milano) between the 14th and 15th centuries–the object of research of many scholars who have bequeathed pages of great significance for the history of architecture on the late Gothic and Renaissance periods. Without aiming to make a comprehensive study, and basing our work especially on the enormous documentary compendium Annali della Fabbrica del Duomo dalle origini siano al presente. 1877-1885., we have sought to interpret the data, which l…

Palazzi turriti tardogotici a Palermo nell'età dei Re Cattolici: tipi, linguaggio, cultura dell'abitare
2014
Il saggio indaga, attraverso tre esempi significativi di residenze turrite, il palazzo tardogotico palermitano nella seconda metà del Quattrocento, negli anni mitici dell’amministrazione del pretore Pietro Speciale e del regno dei Re Cattolici, analizzandone tipologie, linguaggio e modalità dell’abitare, nel tentativo di restituire l’immagine perduta di una Palermo medievale dallo skyline scandito da torri e merlature. The essay explores, through three important examples of towered residences, the late-Gothic palace in Palermo in the second half of the XV century, in the years of the administration of the legendary pretore Pietro Speciale and under the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, analyz…
Maestri e cantieri del Cinquecento in un centro della Sicilia occidentale: Alcamo
2020
La città di Alcamo (in provincia di Trapani) è stato uno dei luoghi dove la resistenza al classicismo e la sopravvivenza del gotico si sono protratte a lungo, travalicando la metà del XVI secolo con l'esperienza di artefici di provenienza esterna e di formazione tradizionale ma aperti a un ventaglio di possibili alternative, disponibili a incamerare opzioni diverse o ad utilizzare indifferentemente i due linguaggi. Non si tratta di un episodio isolato o di un'eccezione, poiché in molteplici periferie siciliane non studiate, ancora in pieno Cinquecento, si può assistere a un fenomeno analogo. Alcamo comunque costituisce un osservatorio ideale: qui sperimentazioni, combinazioni, integrazioni …
The Residences of the Kings of Sicily, from Martin of Aragon to Ferdinand the Catholic
2016
In the context of the capital cities of the Aragonese Kindom, it would be necessary to examineand compare the cerimonial practices, behavioral codes, and uses made of the royal residences. At the same time it seems increasingly evident that, during the 15th century, the mobility of the royal court - as well as that of the aristocrats, merchants, and master builders - slowly shaped a modern, homogeneous common language which is currently defined as "Mediterranean Gothic". This paper analyzes the contribution of Sicily through the study of a number of significant buildings : the royal palace of Palermo and the Steri of Chiaromonte , the castle Maniace of Syracuse .
Supernatural Elements in kipling's 'The Mark on the Beast', Conan Doyle's 'Lot no 249' and Wells' 'The Truth About Peycraft': The Gothic Short Story …
2013
The aim of the essay is the analysis of the supernatural elements in Kipling’s ‘The Mark on The Beast”, Conan Doyle’s “Lot no. 409”, Wells’ “The Truth about Peycraft” conceived of as the expression of the revitalisation of the Gothic imagery which, through the Short Story, serve to voice and exorcise late Victorian crisis, de-Constructing late Victorian identity. First, the complex nature of late Victorian Britain crisis will be deepened; second, the short story will be focused on as an independent genre from the novel which mostly epitomized Fin de Siècle literary fantastic discourse; finally, the short stories will be investigated as textual examples of what Brantlinger defines as Imperia…
ALCUNE CONSIDERAZIONI SULL’ARCHITETTURA CIVILE A SIRACUSA E NEGLI IBLEI FRA XV E XVI SECOLO
2021
The few buildings that survived the 1693 earthquake, concentrated mainly in the city of Syracuse, offer a fragmentary picture of late Gothic civil architecture in south-eastern Sicily. The analysis of the detail elements such as windows and doorawys in the facades, stairways and loggias inside the courtyards, marked by the coexistence of late Gothic and Renaissance architectural languages, highlights the adoption of decorative motifs widespread throughout Sicily and the Mediterranean context. However, many original solutions emerge, such as the square mullioned window, largely common in the city of Syracuse but also present in Scicli, probably very common in the urban landscape of the hybla…
