Lo sparo e l’orologio. "Appunti" nel sistema del "Piccolo Berto" (e oltre)
2021
The essay analyzes Umberto Saba's poem Appunti in the belief that this text presents new themes and new formal strategies that are used in Il piccolo Berto and are destined to persist beyond that. In its broken and discontinuous brevity, Appunti says without explaining, it expresses a trauma that Saba does not verbalize. Saba burns the causal passages and requires the cooperation of the reader, forcing him to contribute to the construction of meaning and to fill the gaps in a text, in which silences and typographical leaps are worth as much as words. The analysis focuses on the modernity of a formal choice in which syntactic divisions and white spaces dramatize the inner restlessness. At th…
La via sovversiva della «poesia onesta». La lezione di Saba nel secondo Novecento
2023
The essay highlights how Saba's poetry has been reinterpreted by poets and storytellers of the late twentieth century also from a civil perspective, and has established itself as the object of a rethinking that involves the very function of literature as a (residual) ambition for truth and as disobedience in the face of the semantic seduction of the «sign language of the strongest» (to use Nietzsche's formula).
Taxonomy and evolution of the Convolvulus sabatius complex (Convolvulaceae)
2010
A revision of the Convolvulus sabatius complex is presented and five taxa are now recognised. Convolvulus valentinus is re-circumscribed to comprise only blue-flowered individuals. Yellow-flowered plants previously referred to this species are transferred to C. supinus where they are recognised as a distinct variety: C. supinus var. melliflorus, comb nov. Variation in intensity of flower colour, pubescence and leaf shape among blue-flowered C. valentinus is highly variable within populations and in contrast to earlier treatments, no infraspecific taxa based on these traits are recognised. Despite suggestions to the contrary, the delimitation of the cultivated ornamental C. sabatius and its …
La Reggia di Venaria Reale in Italy and Palacio Real de Aranjuez in Spain: history, restoration and significance, comparative study between Two Royal…
2017
La investigación relaciona dos sitios reales, La Reggia di Venaria Reale en Italia y el Palacio Real de Aranjuez en España, confrontando su desarrollo histórico y arquitectónico, las obras de restauración llevadas a cabo, los criterios para su inclusión en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial y su uso hoy en día como museos. El estudio comparativo muestra cómo ambos palacios se usaban inicialmente como residencias de caza en lugares con abundancia de agua y pesca. Además, los dos están ubicados cerca de las capitales políticas de su tiempo; esto es, Turín y Madrid. El hecho que el mismo arquitecto – Filippo Juvarra estuviera presente en ambas residencias reales contribuye a las similitudes, y en …
