Prospettive di riforma della tutela penale dell'ambiente nel diritto europeo e sovranazionale
2021
Il saggio descrive le prospettive di riforma della normativa penale ambientale, di recente delineatesi tanto a livello internazionale, quanto in ambito europeo. Pur non spingendosi sino a prevedere i possibili esiti delle dinamiche in corso, il contributo non rinuncia ad analizzarne luci ed ombre, anche alla luce delle difficoltà di tipizzazione delle fattispecie incriminatrici determinata dalla particolare complessità della materia ambientale.

The Eighteenth-century Opera and the Search for a Meeting Point between Music and Declamation
2019
The article is the result of some researches about the ideas on the operatic reform appeared in Italy and France from 1740s onwards. On the basis of acting, some treatises written by actors, philosophers and musicographers claim the dramatic superiority of recitativo secco or obbligato, and the beauty of aria parlante. (e.g., L. Riccoboni, Dell’arte rappresentativa, 1728, G. Manfredi, L’attore in scena, 1734, G. R. Carli, L’indole del teatro tragico, 1746, and Osservazioni sulla musica antica e moderna, 1744-1786, G. Tartini, Trattato di musica secondo la vera scienza dell’armonia, 1754, F. Algarotti, Saggio sopra l’opera in musica, 1755). Owing to its particular speaking tone linked to dec…
La 'riforma' a Napoli: materiali per un capitolo di storia della ricezione
2009
From 1774 to 1785, Naples hosted six different productions of Gluck's 'reform' operas: two of "Orfeo ed Euridice" (both in 1774, but in two different versions and venues), two of "Alceste" (in 1779 and 1785) and two of "Paride ed Elena" (in 1777 and 1779). In the first part, the article collects and discusses all the extant documents about these performances. The second part is a detailed study of the ideas of the Neapolitan theorists about Calzabigi and Gluck. The article demostrates that, even if some authors appreciated specific features of the 'reform', the Neapolitan musical culture was dominated by a more traditional operatic taste.
Ariosto’s Religion
2022
To many readers of Orlando Furioso, Ariosto appears to be essentially disinterested in religious matters, a poet who thinks religion and morality should be kept away from literary creation. However, in this paper I will argue that Ariosto, far from being a-religious, or even un-Christian, was deeply engaged with contemporary religious debates. And without understanding this, it is impossible to comprehend Ariosto’s historical location. The author of a 1498 letter to Aldo Manuzio, where he requested Marsilio Ficino’s hermetic books on behalf of his fellow ferrarese literati, Ariosto needs to be read against the background of his own culture: he was walking the roads of Ferrara when Savonarol…
Una Nueva Planta nella Sicilia di Filippo V: riforme militari per la “conservazione” e la difesa del Regno
2019
In 1701, in the aftermath of the ascension to the Spanish throne, Philip V began to design political and military reforms aimed at making administration more efficient and rationalizing the bureaucratic apparatus. This process had significant repercussions in the balance between the central power and representatives of local political powers who, in the delicate conjuncture of the War of Succession, redefined their participation within the Monarchy. This also happened in Sicily, where a large corpus of reform was directed to modify the island's defensive structure so as to guarantee the "conservation" of the kingdom and protect it from external and internal enemies, who worked jointly in su…

La Chiesa del re. Monarchia e Papato nella Sicilia spagnola (secc. XVI-XVII)
2015
La storiografia siciliana cade spesso in una tentazione “siculo-centrica”, viziata dalla rivendicazione dell’unicità dell’esperienza storica dell’isola, dallo spettro delle famigerate “dominazioni straniere”, nonché dall’ambivalente giudizio sulla sua classe dirigente e le sue istituzioni, ora baluardo delle libertates del Regnum Siciliae contro sovrani dispotici o in frangenti di anarchia politica, ora ostacolo a tutti i tentativi di modernizzazione. Il volume propone invece un’analisi di più ampio respiro storico e storiografico attraverso la ricostruzione della complessa articolazione della Chiesa siciliana nei primi due secoli dell’età moderna, quando essa è stata all’origine di continu…

Sangre de nobles, mártires y pecadores. Los caballeros de San Juan entre la reforma religiosa y la vida militar
2018
After the fall of Rhodes in 1522, the Order of St. John needed to recover new headquarters (which were finally established in Malta in 1530) and its reputation as militia Christi. This Religion in arms had now to redraft its chivalrous ideals within the new context of the Reformation and the Catholic Renewal. However, Hospitallers met this challenge partially and late, although they represented themselves as belonging to this glorious Religion. Such a dialectic between practice and theory is proved, for example, by an apologetic book published in 1619 in Italy and Spain, as well as by unpublished instructions in the late seventeenth century directed at the chaplains providing religious supp…
