Which Dioskouroi? On some Locrian pinakes with music-themed iconography
2016
The paper considers an iconographic type attested to in a series of Locrian pinakes, showing twins on horseback (one of which has a lyra eptacorde, the other a kantharos) in front of a female figure (type 8/35: ASMG S. IV, III, 5, fig. 34); this is considered a variant of a more common type with the Dioscuri on horseback with shield and phiale accompanied by a woman (Elena, Aphrodite or nubenda?). Without prejudice to the identity of the pair of twins, it was found that the variant would intend to emphasize a particular aspect of the male world personified by the Spartan Dioscuroi, namely the paideutic role of music for the male party of the nuptial rituals (recently, summarized in A. Belli…
Ricerche nel Santuario di Contrada Mango a Segesta
2022
Between June and July 2022, the University of Palermo started new feld investigations in the Contrada Mango sanctuary in Segesta, which, in the 1950s and 1960s, had brought to light a monumental temenos-terracing wall in isodomic technique and the remains of a Doric Severe-Style peripteral temple, largely spoliated at an unknown period. This paper presents some preliminary results of the new research that results from an intensive review and study of the documentation of the old excavations, which isabout to be published. The most important data acquired are the identifcation of the spoliation trench of the north side of the peristasis of the temple and the attribution of the foundations su…
Greek Myth and Religion in the Sicilian Context
2013
The paper provides a complete panorama of the divine and heroic figures specific to Sicilian cultural contexts. It focuses on a number of mythological threads that are documented by iconographic sources and that define the ethnic and civic, political, and sociocultural identities of communities, groups, or individuals, as well as the island's religious landscape, in all its public, domestic, and funerary manifestations.
Contatti culturali, identità e popolamento nel territorio imerese
2016
Il lavoro prende in considerazione il problema dei rapporti tra coloni greci e comunità indigene nel territorio di Himera, sulla base dei risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta per tre decenni nelle valli dei fiumi Imera settentrionale, Torto e S. Leonardo. Vengono esaminati gli elementi di cultura materiale che permettono di definire i modi dell'interazione culturale tra coloni e indigeni, nonché di ricostruire i paesaggi politici, socio-economici e il paesaggio del sacro nelle diverse aree indagate e nei diversi comprensori. La ricerca infatti permette di delineare, oltre alle usuali organizzazioni insediative e agricole della chora politiké e della éremos chora, anche articola…
Per il testo, il ritmo e lo iato dell´Epistola di Aristea a Filocrate
2021
Epistulae Aristeae ad Philocratem loci nonnulli ad genuinam lectionem revocantur; praeterea quaeritur utrum hiatus vitetur atque clausolae numerosae sint. The aim of the first part of this paper is to cast new light on the textual constitution of some passages of the Epistula Aristeae ad Philocratem. Ca. 20 pieces are discussed and for most of them a new solution is proposed; in the other cases I argue for a solution already proposed, but not accepted by the editors. The aim of the second part is to establish whether the ps.-Aristeas used rhythmical prose or not, and whether he avoided the hiatus. The analysis shows that he wrote rhythmical prose and avoided the hiatus.

Les fonds d'archives grecs de l'Italie du Sud et de Sicile. Un miroir pour l'Athos?
2019
André Guillou began publishing the Greek documents of Southern Italy shortly before the appearance of the third volume of the Archives de l’Athos (Actes de Xéropotamou, 1964). The first volume, published in 1963, was followed by six other in the series Corpus des actes grecs d’Italie du Sud et de Sicile (1974–2009). Additional publications have appeared since then. Thanks to this editorial work we may now attempt a comparison of the Italian documentary body with the already well-known Athonite material, which may permit a better understanding of the regional particularities of the documents. More than a thousand documents written in Southern Italy survive from the Byzantine and Angevin peri…
