Riso e sorriso e altri saggi sulla nonviolenza nella Grecia antica
2018
Is nonviolence a specificity of oriental culture? The book explores the presence, in ancient Greece, of forms of thought and actions that can be brought back to the idea of nonviolent conflict management. It identifies the role that laughter and smile can play in the resolution of interpersonal contrasts; it illustrates the advice of ‘work on oneself’ as well as on the other, given by ancient philosophers; it focuses on some rules to combat violence without resorting to violence; it presents female mediation practices and identifies various forms of diplomacy, both from above and from below; at least it shows the effective dynamics in view of the reconciliation between adversaries in cases …
Peithò o l’argomentazione relazionale al servizio della comunità nella Grecia antica
2016
In the Greek world, in the face of the dialectical argument of ‘intellectuals’, which unfolds in the discussion ideally without time limits with individuals (present or virtual) and plays with their agreement all steps deemed necessary to arrive at “truth”, the persuasive argument of political rhetoric, expressed monologically in a limited time and in the face of a collective audience, always has the need to maintain a good relation with this last one. The main features of this type of argument are absence of hierarchy, community dimension, pluralism, negotiation and mediation skills, and reception of the listener. And as the risk of dialectics is the eristic (but also the authoritarian pre…

La musicoterapia nella Grecia antica
2007
Music in ancient Greece was believed to heal both the soul and the body, and especially to soothe wrath and low spirits. According to the ethos theory, music has a prominent role in the education of the young people. With both its medical and magic connotations, the notion of musical catharsis is involved in the performance of music and dance in the Dionysiac rites. The medical thought on music therapy is mainly linked with theories concerning the pulse, where musicology and medicine share a common ground.
DANNO, RISARCIMENTO E RICONOSCIMENTO DELL’“ALTRO” NELLA GESTIONE DEI CONFLITTI IN OMERO
2019
Atto ingiusto, reato? Nel mondo omerico abbiamo a che fare: 1. con atasthalìai (in Omero solo al plurale), cioè con “eccessi-volontari-e-consapevoli fondati-sulla-fiducia nella-propria-forza/capacità/potere”, di cui si è responsabili (mentre non si è responsabili o si è innocenti se si obbedisce a cause materiali/umane di forza maggiore), o 2. con àte, l’offuscamento mentale che rovina se stessi e a volte gli altri e che si è avuto per propria imprudenza, mancanza di calcolo o perché gli dei puniscono di una precedente offesa fatta loro. In quest’ultimo caso, si può rimediare oppure bisogna aspettare i tempi della divinità. Nel caso di offese ad altri uomini, bisogna risarcire materialmente…
Kali dodecanesicum (Chenopodiaceae, Salsoloideae) a new species from Greece
2015
Kali dodecanesicum, a new species from some islands (i.e. Rhodes, Kos and Nisyros) of the Dodecanese in the south-eastern Aegean (Greece), is described and illustrated. According to recent literature, Kali is treated as a distinct genus from the polyphyletic Salsola s.l., which includes several annual species. The new species is morphologically well separated from the other Kali taxa mainly for the shape of the fruiting perianth, showing closer relationships with Kali ponticum. Its ecological requirements, distribution, and conservation status are also examined, together with an analytic key of the Kali species occurring in the Mediterranean area.
Allium cithaeronis (Alliaceae), a new species of A. sect. Scorodon from Greece.
2011
Allium cithaeronis, a new species of A. sect. Scorodon from Greece is described and illustrated. Its chromosome number (2n=16), karyogram, leaf anatomy, ecology, taxonomical relationship are examined. For some morphological features, such as exerted stamens from perigon and tuberculate lobes in the upper part of the ovary,it represents a very isolated species within the A. sect. Scorodon.
Potentially harmfull elements accumulation in fumarolic alteration products at three hydrothermal systems of Greece
2018
Samples of efflorescences and encrustations of hydrothermal origin have been collected at three fumarolic areas in Greece. The three sites are Sousaki, Thiafi (Methana) and Kokkino Nero (Kos) and all belong to the South Aegean Active Volcanic Arc. Samples were analysed for their mineralogical (XRD and SEM-EDS) and chemical composition. Solutions obtained from both mineralization with HNO3 and leaching with distilled water, were analysed for major (ICP-OES), minor and trace metals (ICP-MS) and for sulfate contents (IC). Results show that their composition is mainly controlled by the petrological composition of the substrate (ultramafic rocks at Sousaki, felsic volcanic rocks at Methana and l…
Memory and Religion in the Greek World
2013
The necessity to build a common base of shared values on which to establish any type of social relationship and overcome the use of violence for the resolution of arguments has often found more effective answers drawing from the sacred sphere and its resources. With its complex verbal and gestural structure and its close connection with the other effective enunciated forms the oath is an instrument, both religious and political at the same time, which permits the preservation of the memory of the expressed affirmations and the commitments taken on. Thanks to the convergence of actions and words, both functional towards the creation of binding situations, the oath is a guarantee as much on t…
