Il doppio mito: sulla (pretesa) neutralità della politica monetaria della BCE e la (pretesa) non-vincolatività degli indirizzi di politica economica …
2021
Policies adopted by the governance of the EMU during the financial and Covid crises display a clear gap between the “form” and the “substance” of the institutional architecture of title VIII of the TFEU. It is submitted that this architecture is in sharp contrast with the European constitutional tradition. Furthermore, the traditional view is rejected, according to which the EU Commission and Council, as well as the ECB, are devoid of binding powers in the field of economic policy. Some reflections concerning both methodological implications of the foregoing and its possible effects on the European integration process are finally developed
Ricerche nel Santuario di Contrada Mango a Segesta
2022
Between June and July 2022, the University of Palermo started new feld investigations in the Contrada Mango sanctuary in Segesta, which, in the 1950s and 1960s, had brought to light a monumental temenos-terracing wall in isodomic technique and the remains of a Doric Severe-Style peripteral temple, largely spoliated at an unknown period. This paper presents some preliminary results of the new research that results from an intensive review and study of the documentation of the old excavations, which isabout to be published. The most important data acquired are the identifcation of the spoliation trench of the north side of the peristasis of the temple and the attribution of the foundations su…
Dialoghi tra antico e contemporaneo. Dal Bouleuterion greco alla grande Barricaia di Rocca di Frassinello
2021
La cantina Rocca di Frassinello, progettata da Renzo Piano nel cuore della Maremma Toscana, costituisce uno dei massimi esempi di come la contemporaneità, nelle sue forme più essenziali, possa fondersi perfettamente con il paesaggio naturale circostante senza alterarne gli equilibri e la storia ma anzi valorizzandolo in maniera magistrale. Il centro pulsante della cantina è la grande barricaia ipogea nella quale riposano fino a 2.500 barriques di rovere francese disposte su gradinate digradanti. La particolare configurazione a gradoni della barricaia sembra richiamare l'impianto planimetrico di una forma architettonica legata all'antica Grecia, il bouleuterion. Un'iscrizione da Teos attesta…
La représentation de l’identité sicilienne dans les bâtiments publics du Ventennio fasciste
The intervention, included in the panel of the Conference dedicated to the monumental forms of political and cultural identities, proposed the analysis of some artistic decorations of monumental public building made in Sicily during the fascist regime, such as the pictorial cycle of the Palace of the Prefecture of Ragusa, the bas-reliefs of the Casa del Fascio in Messina and the mosaic of the Maritime Station of the same city. The institutional representation of the collective – the Conference’s main subject of interest – was considered in the light of traditional themes of fascist ideology, such as Labour, and by episodes related to the local context, such as Mussolini’s visits or mythiciz…
Les détails archéologiques dans les décorations monumentales des bâtiments publics siciliens du XXe siècle : une recherche d’identité
The intervention presented a premise aimed at reconstructing the Greek and Roman past of Sicily, the importance of the archaeological heritage rediscovered during the years of the Grand Tour and the archaeological excavation campaigns between the 18th and early 20th centuries.

Fascist ideology, inspiration from the Roman past for the constitution of the «Third Rome» and references to it in periodicals and Italian architectural…

Alexander Auf der Heyde, Per l'«avvenire dell'arte in Italia»: Pietro Selvatico e l'estetica applicata alle arti del disegno nel secolo XIX, Pisa, Pa…
2013
Attraverso le vicende di un protagonista autorevole e controverso delle arti figurative – il marchese padovano Pietro Selvatico Estense (1803-80) –, il volume narra l'articolarsi di un discorso artistico nazionale fortemente attento alla contemporanea produzione francese e tedesca, ma sullo sfondo specifico di una prospettiva pedagogica che accomuna le élites moderate d’epoca risorgimentale. This monograph investigates Pietro Selvatico Estense's (1803-1880) art writings and his commitment to the Italian Nineteenth-Century system of the Arts. Among the priorities of this study are Selvatico's contacts to the german-speaking countries (Bavaria, Prussia, Saxony and Austria) and to France, his …
Oltre il gusto barocco: note su un ipotetico intreccio romano tra Robert Adam e Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia (1755-1759)
2020
Il saggio approfondisce il tema delle relazioni professionali nel corso della formazione romana del principale architetto del neoclassicismo siciliano, Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia (1729-1814). L’occasione nasce dallo studio analitico di un disegno attribuito all’architetto palermitano a confronto con un progetto dello studio di Robert Adam (1728-1792) conservato presso la Soane’s Collection di Londra. Il testo ripercorre le principali tappe della progettazione marvugliana nel passaggio dal tardo barocco al neoclassicismo, individuando tra le altre cose, per la prima volta, il modello di riferimento per villa Villarosa a Bagheria e portando all’attenzione quanto la rinomanza dell’architetto …
