Plexiform Atypical Spitz Tumor With Rosette-Like Giant Cells. A Histologic and Immunohistochemical Study on a Case Suggesting Ganglioneuroblastic Dif…
2018
Spitz nevi, atypical Spitz tumors and Spitzoid melanoma, the three clinicopathologic forms that constitute the spectrum of the Spitz-type melanocytic lesions, share a histologic picture characterized by large spindle and/or epithelioid ganglion-like cells, with various admixtures of multinucleate bizarre cells. This remarkable cytology has always been interpreted as an unusual, as well as unexplained form of atypia. We report a case of atypical Spitz tumor with Homer Wright-like rosettes, a feature characteristic of ganglioneuroblastic proliferation. Furthermore, the ganglion-like cells of the tumor showed basophilic punctuation in the cytoplasm, reminiscent of Nissl substance, and a few ce…
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…
A methodology for assessing the impact of salinity gradient power generation in urban contexts
2018
Abstract The paper proposes a methodology to assess the potential impact of salinity gradient power technology in urban contexts. The idea to employ such energy source in urban contexts derives from the observation that, among the energy districts outputs, low-salinity treated wastewater can be used to produce electricity if a suitable source of high salinity feed (seawater of a salt-works) is also available. The methodology uses the HOMER software for assessing the district’s electric energy production, consumption and exchange with the main grid. Then, starting from the total gross surface and the number of inhabitants of the district, some possible realistic scenarios characterized by di…
Tucidide e il marchese de Norpois. Memoria, obbligazione politica e ingratitudine
2023
This paper proposes some reflections on the problem of political ingratitude in international relations, particularly in the context of an imminent or already ongoing war. Recalling past benefits brings memory into play and emphasises the expectation produced by these benefits and the importance attached to the political obligations that should result from them. After providing some insights from Homer, attention will focus on Thucydides. Among the numerous case studies offered by the Athenian historian, particular attention will be paid to the conflict between Corcyra and Corinth in Book I and the political use of memory and gratitude in the speeches delivered in Athens by the ambassadors …

Spatial Cognition and Frames of Reference in Indo-European
2022
The development of Frames of Reference (FoRs) as coordinate systems in space language has gained increasing attention in current linguistic, neurolinguistic, and psycholinguistic research (Diessel 2013: 687; Kemmerer 2010). Previous studies on typology of spatial expressions have traditionally been based on the universal status of the egocentric or relative FoR found in the Indo- European languages, in which the relation between Figure and Ground is specified by the deictic observer’s viewpoint (Mühlhäusler 2001). However, there is growing crosslinguistic evidence that many non-Indo-European languages do not make use of such deictic or ternary FoR, but interpret spatial relations by referri…
All’origine della deissi indoeuropea. Un approccio linguistico cognitivo
2020
This paper focuses on the existence of temporal deixis in Indo-European, questioning the traditional view according to which metaphors of time in ancient Indo-European languages originated from projecting the human body coordinates onto space. In particular, it aims at interpreting data from historical-comparative linguistics by using the cognitive linguistic framework, without disregarding the most recent results from typological studies, spatial language acquisition, and neurolinguistic research on spatiotemporal deixis. Contrary to what previously assumed, the comparative analysis between the Rigveda and the Homeric poems shows that earlier spatial metaphors of time are still deictically…
Sul suppletivismo verbale in Omero: l’apporto della prospettiva tipologica talmiana
2020
This paper aims at investigating the partially uncertain relationship on which the suppletion of the Homeric verbal forms within the paradigm for ‘go’ is based. For this purpose, the Homeric distribution of some motion verbs for ‘go’, as well as their contexts of use, are taken into account. In the light of Talmy’s theoretical framework of the lexicalization patterns, the analysis focuses on the motion events expressed by ἔρχομαι and ἦλϑον (fut. ἐλεύσομαι, pf. εἰλήλουϑα) and their cooccurring spatial elements, i.e. particles, adverbs, nominal case markers, which encode the path followed by the moving object. Building on telicity as a verb-inherent actional feature (i.e. Lexical Aspect), and…

Caeruleus: significado cromático en la poesía latina del s. I a.C.
2020
En este artículo se estudia el color azul a través de su significante caeruleus y su familia léxica en los poetas latinos del s. I a.C. y, especialmente, en la Eneida, poema en el que adquiere una especial relevancia. Se analiza su etimología, significado y valores; su relación con ?????? del que constituye una traducción. Se concluye que los poetas latinos usan este radical especialmente para el mar y las aguas (ríos, fuentes, tormentas), el cielo o el mundo vegetal, un uso ausente en Homero e infrecuente en la poesía griega.
