L'epigramma «Ad Carolum regem Francorum» di Enea Silvio Piccolomini fra dimensione encomiastica e professione di poetica
2016
This paper offers a strict analysis of Enea Silvio Piccolomini’s epigram 24 Van Heck (Ad Carolum regem Francorum), composed by the young humanist in praise of Charles VII of Valois, king of France, in july 1429 – and then soon after his coronation, which had place at Reims the 17th of July 1429: an "epigramma longum" (46 hexameters), in which we can find the admiration and the courtly exaltation of the new king of France, and the conception (classic and, particularly, Horatian) of the poetry who can make eternal the glory of the famous men.

Coming to Know Epicurus’ Truth: Distributed Cognition in Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura
2020
Until recently, Descartes' idea that the human mind is, by definition, a non-extended entity (res cogitans, non extensa), enclosed in the body but constitutionally different from common bodily and external realities, found wide acceptance among students of cognitive sciences. But in the past few years the barriers between outer and inner worlds have begun to blur, projecting the process of cognition as a complex distributed phenomenon. According to the so-called distributed cognition thesis (and its more “radical” version, the extended mind hypothesis), “the thinker in this world is a very special medium that can provide coordination among many structured media – some internal, some externa…
Scrittore epicureo anonimo, Opera incerta (PHerc. 1390/908). Edizione, introduzione e commentario, tavole
2019
Il singolare scritto adespoto e anepigrafo trasmesso da PHerc. 1390/908 e convenzionalmente definito ‘Sulla procreazione’ o ‘Sulla generazione’ rappresenta per il suo soggetto un unicum nella collezione ercolanese – dove, com’è noto, non trovano posto opere di natura medica o paramedica – e insieme alla sezione conclusiva del IV libro del De rerum natura di Lucrezio, l’unica trattazione epicurea di una certa estensione sul tema. Di esso, tradizionalmente assegnato a Epicuro e ora attribuito al filosofo epicureo Demetrio Lacone (II secolo a.C.), si propone in questa sede la prima edizione critica complessiva munita di introduzione e commento. The peculiar anonymous text handed down by PHerc.…
Seneca on the Nature of Things: Moral Concerns and Theories of Matter in Natural Questions 6
2017
It is generally recognized that Lucretius' treatment of earthquakes and pestilences (6.535-607; 1090-1286) exerted great influence on Book 6 of Seneca's Natural Questions. But while a large consensus exists that both authors tend to emphasize the moral value of scientific knowledge, further research is needed with respect to Seneca's “technical” re-use of Epicurean physics and meteorology. In the present paper, I shall address this issue in three stages. First, I will analyze the structure and intellectual goals of Seneca's “doxographic” review of seismological theories (6.5-20). Far from being a doxographic account sensu proprio, such a careful review constructs the inspiring image of an i…
