Stratis il marinaio, Mattia Pascal e gli altri: nomi nell’opera di Ghiorgos Seferis
2017
Ghiorgos Seferis (1900-1971), Nobel prize for literature in 1963, is one of the most significant poets of modern Greece. In his work he reconciles reminiscences of classical Greece with the most salient concern of contemporary poetry. Like many other writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Ghiorgos Seferis used various heteronyms in the course of his life. The most significant are ‘Stratis the sailor’ and ‘Mattia Pascal’. Both are rooted in the biographical events of the poet, as well as in his many cultural experiences.

L'Atleta di Segesta. Una statuetta di discobolo dal santuario di Contrada Mango
2019
The review of the unpublished material from the excavations conducted in the 1950-60s, of the Sanctuary of Contrada Mango at Segesta, led to the find of a statuette of an athlete. The piece, which, to our knowledge, is unique in its kind, is rendered in a gray stone of uncertain provenance. The first part of the article presents the context of the statuette, found in close proximity to the north wall of the temenos. The second part describes and gives a detailed analysis of the statuette as regards its style and iconography. The male figure with the head and torso intact suggests, from the rendering of the pectoral and back muscles and right shoulder stance with the conveyed weight distribu…
Segesta, Santuario di Contrada Mango. Materiali e contesti degli scavi Tusa
2023
The volume is the edition of the old excavations carried out in Segesta, at the Sanctuary of Contrada Mango, between the 1950s and the 1960s of the twentieth century. The sanctuary is located on the south-eastern slopes of Mount Barbaro. It has returned a monumental peribolos and the remains of a peripteral temple. The sacred area documents phenomena of cultural interaction between the Elymian center and the Hellenic environment (Selinuntine first of all) in the Archaic and Classical Ages. It is an intense and multiform relationship, now made tangible not only by the monumental sacred architecture but also by the architectural ornamentations, the statuary in Parian marble, the imported cera…
I volti del sacro nella Segesta elima: spazi, riti, oggetti
2022
Si pubblicano in questa sede i testi dei pannelli esplicativi della mostra "I volti del sacro nella Segesta elima: spazi, riti, oggetti" inaugurata il 14 luglio 2021 al Parco Archeologico di Segesta nelle nuove sale espositive dello “Stazzo”. La mostra illustra la vita religiosa del centro elimo, raccontata attraverso le recenti acquisizioni sulle aree cultuali segestane (VI-V sec. a.C.), frutto di ‘scavi’ effettuati nei magazzini del Parco, dove sono conservati i numerosissimi reperti, per lo più inediti, delle vecchie ricerche - compiute da Vincenzo Tusa negli anni ’50-’60 del secolo scorso - al cosiddetto scarico di Grotta Vanella (pertinenti ad un’area sacra collocata sulla cima del Mo…
Evolution of the forest landscape in the Punic Eparchy area (West Sicily): the importance of cork oak in natural residual vegetation for the purposes…
2018
The natural forest vegetation in the territory of the western provinces of Sicily (Palermo, Trapani and Agrigento) has almost completely disappeared. This area coincides with the ancient administrative ter- ritorial unit that precedes the division into three "valleys" of the most inhabited island of the Mediterranean: it is the Val di Mazara, remembered by archaeologists as "Punic Eparchy". As a seat of important Greek cities (Himera, Solunto, Entella, Agrigento, Gela, Eraclea Minoa, Segesta, Selinunte, Erice, Lilibeo, Mozia, etc.), it was a Punic domain before being abandoned. Due to the lack of a marked relief and the benefit of climate, agriculture was practiced for three millennia. In t…
La chora e i notabili di Iasos in epoca ellenistico-romana. A proposito di un libro (e di uno studio) recente su Chalketor e Iasos
2017
L'analisi di una recente monografia storico-epigrafica di Thibaut Boulay e Anne-Valérie Pont su Chalketor di Caria (2014) e di uno studio della stessa Pont sui proprietari terrieri di Iasos (2016) offre l'occasione per discutere alcuni aspetti riguardanti la chora di Iasos e l'appartenenza del villaggio di Chalketor a questo territorio, l'attribuzione di Iasos ai distretti giudiziari (conventus, dioikeseis) di Mylasa e quindi di Alabanda all'interno della provincia Asia, il ruolo politico e socio-economico dei notabili iasei e l'ascesa di alcuni di essi alla classe senatoria. The analysis of a recent historical-epigraphical monograph on Chalketor of Caria (2014) by Thibaut Boulay and Anne-V…
Pettazzoni e Rohde su Agamennone e Clitemestra: il “maschalismòs” e l’opzione comparativa
2021
For Greek lexicographers, the verb 'maschalisthenai', which appears only in Aeschylus and Sophocles, refers to certain details of the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra.The ancient tradition on "maschalismos" has become in the modern age a bone of contention among scholars around the study of Greek religion, in particular concerning the relationship with death and the underworld. This contribution examines the different interpretations of "maschalismos" proposed by Erwin Rohde and Raffaele Pettazzoni and their different perspectives on the comparison.
La Sicilia fra Cartagine e Roma
2016
The aim is to point out the salient stages that led to a momentous change of the whole history of Greek Sic- ily. After a period, started within the VIth century BC, in which the preferred interlocutor of the Siceliots was Carthage, regarded by some Greek cities as a trustworthy international partner and by other cities as a “danger” to fight with and that should have been cancelled, if possible, the Greek-Punic relationship had known for a long time of the Vth century BC a moment of blackout. At the end of this period, lasted nearly seventy years, the North-African city had turned to be interested in Sicily within a deeply changed international context. Even the attitude of Carthage toward…
L’exemplum del Dinomenide Gelone tra memoria civica e storiografica
2015
La storia della Sicilia greca è scandita, nei suoi momenti chiave, dalla persistente presenza dell’immagine del Dinomenide Gelone. Questo lavoro analizza le valenze paradigmatiche assunte dalla sua figura nella memoria civica siracusana e nella produzione storiografica; inoltre ricostruisce le dinamiche politiche che hanno spinto i principali tiranni siracusani (da Dionisio I a Ierone II) a stabilire un confronto con Gelone. Il suo exemplum è utilizzato per legittimare azioni politiche e impegno antipunico; particolare attenzione è posta alla Biblioteca storica di Diodoro Siculo e al ruolo che in essa assume la figura del Dinomenide; in relazione a questi aspetti l’opera dell’Agirinense sem…
