Filodemo, Cicerone, Nepote: a proposito del contesto storico-culturale di Oec. Col. XXII.9-48
2018
Until recently, Philodemus’ treatise On Household Management (Περὶ οἰκονομίας, PHerc. 1424) has been mainly used as a source for the reconstruction of early Epicurean economic thought (especially of Metrodorus’ writing Περὶ πλούτου). Over the past few years, however, scholars have called attention to Philodemus’ creative (yet philosophically orthodox) readaptation of Epicurean ethical and social theories to the needs of contemporary Roman society. Following this scholarly line, the present paper reassesses a passage from On Household Management (col. XXII.9–48) which has so far been interpreted as an unoriginal repetition of Metrodorus’ arguments, and situates it in the cultural context of …
Modalità e tipologie dell’epica normanna tra Francia, Inghilterra e Italia meridionale
2017
Attraverso la presentazione e l’analisi – ovviamente parziali e circoscritte ad alcuni passi-campione, opportunamente scelti – di quattro testi variamente afferenti alla produzione epica di età normanna, in volgare e in latino, in Francia (la chanson di «Gormont et Isembart»), Inghilterra (il «Carmen de Hastingae proelio» attribuito a Guy d’Amiens) e Italia meridionale (i «Gesta Roberti Wiscardi» di Guglielmo il Pugliese e il «Liber ad honorem Augusti» di Pietro da Eboli), tra la seconda metà dell’XI secolo e l’ultimo scorcio del XII, si tenta di enucleare alcune delle modalità e delle tipologie distintive di tale produzione epica. Gli elementi costitutivi di tale produzione, a grandi linee…
L'epica latina altomedievale e il «Waltharius»
2010
In questo volume viene presentato un panorama della poesia epica latina altomedievale, dal sec. VI al X (Corippo, Venanzio Fortunato, epica di età carolingia e ottoniana, «Within piscator»), con particolare attenzione al «Waltharius», del quale vengono illustrati e analizzati trama e struttura, fonti e modelli, problemi cronologici e attributivi, singoli episodi, rapporti col più tardo «Chronicon Novaliciense».
Split-Way CVTs: Parametric Analysis and Design
The thesis provides a parametric analytical method for the analysis and design of power-split continuously variable transmissions, which represent the state of the art for heavy-duty vehicles and hybrid electric cars. The functioning of any driveline is described by mean of a simple set of kinematic parameters, regardless of the constructive scheme. The calculation of the control torques remains straightforward even when both inertial effects and mechanical losses are taken into account. A simple design procedure is described and generalized in order to address any order of driveline, including multimode transmissions. The final layout is generated additively, without the need to analyze hu…
"Cette époque de doute": Walter Pater et la question de la croyance
2017
International audience; Cet ouvrage examine la question de la croyance dans les essais et les romans de Walter Pater (1839-1894) et en particulier dans Gaston de Latour afin de situer sa position dans lepaysage intellectuel et spirituel bouleversé de la fin du xixe siècle en Grande-Bretagne. À travers un dialogue avec la psychanalyse freudienne et lacanienne, cette étude, la première qui est consacrée à la croyance chez Pater, montre la logique et la subtilité rigoureuse d’un penseur dont la réflexion demeure actuelle. Pater est un témoin attentif de la réarticulation du croire et de la subjectivité qui l’exprime ; derrière ses audacieuses reconstitutions historiques, il est également l’ana…

Sul testo del settimo libro di Quinto Smirneo
2021
This paper aims to examine the text of the seventh book of Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Posthomerica, the object of a recent commentary by G. P. Tsomis. Particular attention will be paid to problems concerning textual criticism and exegesis, contained in the book, which recounts the events connected with Neoptolemus’ intervention in the Trojan War. An issue concerning the narrative structure and technique will also be addressed: the poet appears to intentionally imitate Homer not only from a linguistic and lexical point of view, but also in the handling of contemporary events, in which connection Zielinski’s law may be seen as applying to Quintus’ work.
