Appunti sui libretti per musica di Gioacchino Pizzi

2017

In recent years historians of the literature, culture and sociality of the academies have shown a renewed interest in Gioacchino Pizzi (Nivildo Amarinzio), who was the Custode of Arcadia from 1772 to 1790. On the other hand, there have been no specific studies of his relations with the world of music. The first part of the article offers a first inventory of Nivildo’s printed libretti, belonging to the genres of encomiastic cantata, sacred composition and dramma per musica. The second part illustrates the ideas on Italian and French theatre expounded by Pizzi in his "Ragionamento sulla tragica e comica poesia" (1772). It also reconstructs his relationship with Pietro Metastasio, and explore…

Il tarantismo in Sicilia. Declinazioni locali di un fenomeno culturale euromediterraneo

2016

The text examines published and unpublished materials – such as historical and ethnographic sources, archive records, and musical documents – which testify the presence of tarantism in Sicily from mid-17th century to the end of the 19th. The Sicilian case is then considered in a wider context of contributions on the theme, starting from the ‘classic’ De Martino’work, up to the debate on the interpretation of the phenomenon between the poles of exorcism and possession, chiefly rased by French ethnomusicologist Gilbert Rouget. The analyses is therefore expanded to the tradition of snakes bites healers (the ciaràuli), which shares with tarantism the spider symbolism, and to certain kinds of re…

Il tarantismo in Sicilia

2017

Il testo prende in esame il complesso di materiali editi e inediti (fonti storiche e archivistiche, documenti musicali, testimonianze etnografiche) che attestano la presenza del tarantismo in Sicilia dalla metà del Seicento alla fine dell’Ottocento. Il caso siciliano viene quindi inquadrato nell’ambito dell’ampia letteratura che ruota intorno al fenomeno, a partire dal classico studio di Ernesto De Martino fino al dibattito sull’interpretazione del fenomeno fra i poli dell’esorcismo e della possessione, dovuto soprattutto all’etnomusicologo francese Gilber Rouget. L’analisi viene quindi estesa alla tradizione dei guaritori dei morsi di serpenti (i ciaràuli), che con il tarantismo condividon…

Christoph Martin Wieland e il cristianesimo

2016

The religious debate is vivid and constant during the eighteenth century, different positions coexist and culminate in Deism and Hermeticism but also in Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. Christoph Martin Wieland is one example of the many authors who reflect on the religious question in this climate of continuous alternation of opinions. This work focuses on two novels by Christoph Martin Wieland Peregrinus Proteus (1791) and Agathodämon (1799). In these texts, which are rarely studied and closely related, the reflection on Christianity is characterized by various angles of view. This paper intends to demonstrate how the Peregrinus Proteus also criticizes early Christianity and how the Agatho…

Christoph Martin Wielands Vermittlungsrolle zwischen Kulturen, Autoren, Menschen

2022

This article deals with Wieland’s work as editor of Der Teutsche Merkur, the first successful German journal he had founded, as a famous writer and tireless translator. The focus of the article is on Wieland’s need for confrontation and an exchange of opinions, his concept of cosmopolitanism, his conception of Europe and the Mediterranean, his rejection of any claim to the inviolability of one’s own convictions which were to be defended at all costs and against everyone and everything.
