Il demos in Erodiano
2018
In Herodian’s historical view the demos appears to play an important political role in critical stages of the Roman empire. The political success of an emperor depends on the popular approval in Rome or in the provincial cities, besides the support of the soldiers. The analysis of the words demos and ochlos, used by Herodian with different values, reveals that the historian cannot be defined filo-popular, but shows throughout interest in the popular participation in civil struggles.
Ancient Artistic Motifs on Italian Memorials from the Unity to the Aftermath of World War I
2022
In the decades subsequent to the unification of the Kingdom of Italy, achieved in 1861 with the proclamation of Vittorio Emanuele II as the king of the new State, the Italian peninsula became covered with many commemorative monuments. These were devoted, first of all, to honour the men who played a leading role in the heroic deeds of the Risorgimento but also to remember the places where the major historical events occurred. Afterwards as well, the Italian State went on erecting memorials, in order to celebrate other facts and casualties, as it happened on the occasion of the unsuccessful colonial attempts in the African land and then, above all, after the World War I. Many of these commemo…
Archi di ispirazione romana nei monumenti fascisti della Grande Guerra
2022
L’arco di origine antico-romana è un motivo che ha beneficiato di una lunga fortuna nell’architettura e nell’arte di età moderna. Questa tipologia ha goduto di una particolare predilezione in Italia durante il periodo fascista, trovando un campo d’applicazione privilegiato nei monumenti dedicati ai caduti della Grande Guerra. In tali circostanze, l’arco recuperava enfaticamente la valenza onoraria e trionfale ad esso correlata nei modelli antichi, i quali fornivano una diretta ispirazione agli architetti delle nuove opere commemorative e ai loro committenti. Uno speciale significato acquistava l’impiego dell’arco nei monumenti eretti nei luoghi stessi dei combattimenti della Prima Guerra Mo…
ANFORE E CERAMICHE COMUNI E DA FUOCO DA THERMAE HIMERAEAE (SICILIA) E DAL SUO HINTERLAND
2014
This report, part of a wider project involving the ancient landscapes of Himera and Thermae, presents the archaeological and archaeometric results on Late Roman amphorae and coarse/cooking wares from Termini Imerese. The aim is also to illustrate the distribution of the same types of Roman pottery in the hinterland of Thermae, where the Dept. of Cultural Heritage of Palermo University has carried out intensive surveys (from 1982, published from 1988 until 2009). A good documentation of African amphorae, coarse/cooking wares, produced both in Byzacena and Zeugitana, and also local amphorae and coarse/cooking wares and Pantellerian ware, have been found both in Thermae and in the hinterland, …
Ebraismo, identità e memoria. Quattro scene dalle vita di Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce il percorso di riappropriazione dell'identità ebraica di Arnold Schoenberg, facendo riferimento - in modo particolare - agli eventi che hanno determinato la conversione all'ebraismo, agli scritti politici del 1933-38, all'epistolario con Thomas Mann durante l'esilio negli Stati Uniti e alla genesi e concezione poetica e musicale di A survivor from Warsaw op. 46 (1947). The essay reconstructs the path of re-appropriation of Arnold Schoenberg's Jewish identity, referring - in particular - to the events that led to the conversion to Judaism, to the political writings of 1933-38, to the correspondence with Thomas Mann during the exile in the United States and the genesis …
Madrid 1744: Calzabigi, Leo e i festeggiamenti per le nozze dell’Infanta di Spagna con il Delfino di Francia
2019
Sumptuous ceremonies were organized in Madrid in December 1744 to celebrate the marriage of the Infanta of Spain Maria Teresa, daughter of Philippe v and Isabella Farnese, with the Dauphin of France Louis, son of Louis xv and Maria Leszczyńska. Their union was of great political importance, as it reinforced the alliance between the two Bourbon kingdoms during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). Refined musical works were specially composed to solemnize the event: Corselli’s "Achille in Sciro" and Astorga’s "Le deità superate" were offered by the court at the Buen Retiro palace; moreover, two different allegorical serenatas, one by Mele and the other by Leo, were commissioned by …
Über die Abfassungszeit und die Interpretation des "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc. 817)
2021
Si cerca di dimostrare che il "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc 817) e´ stato composto in eta´ neroniana (se non addirittura vespasianea) e non augustea, come generalmente si crede. Si cerca anche di mostrare che esso non e´ di tendenza antiaugustea. Vengono proposte alcune congetture al testo. We try to show that the "Carmen de bello Actiaco" (PHerc 817) was composed in the Neronian (if not the Vespasian) age and not in the Augustan age, as is generally believed. It also tries to show that it is not of an anti-Augustan trend. Some conjectures are proposed to the text.
