Bacchini in tipografia. I paratesti editoriali
2020
A refined and methodical scholar like Benedetto Bacchini could not renounce the constructive and effective use of scientific communication also through the paratextual apparatus of the works he wrote, or of which he was curator and promoter. Among the many tools that he had at his disposal - typical of the Republic of Letters to which he fully adhered - the paratext editorial offered a particularly favourable context to clarify the reasons, the basic elements, the methodological structure of that "Unitary logic of science" consciously pursued by him throughout his spiritual and intellectual activity.
Editoria e società: le biblioteche
2014
L'evoluzione della scrittura e della cultura del libro che dura da alcuni millenni comprende momenti chiave, che hanno predeterminato il nostro momento presente. Vi e accumulata un' enorme quantità di esempi illustrativi. Infatti accanto agli antichissimi rotoli è documentato l'inizio dei codici dell'era cristiana illustrati a mano. Il libro è stato da sempre il prodotto del lavoro di alcune persone, il che è documentato dalla ricostruzione della copisteria medioevale e dall'officina di rilegatura. Nei bozzetti e nelle illustrazioni storiche viene mostrato il lavoro di tutti coloro che hanno partecipato nei modi più diversi alla produzione del libro - l'autore, lo scrivano, il miniatore e i…

Un letterato e mestierante del libro tra Austria e Sicilia: Juan Silvestre Salva
2021
The dynamics of printed text production and circulation during the second half of 17th century are shown through an individual case study. Juan Silvestre Salva was a Spanish literate man active in Vienna (translator, occasional poet) before migrating to Sicily as a book professional (proof corrector, publisher and printer, and eventually librarian). His most important venture was perhaps the issue of some texts by Archimedes, that he managed to accomplish in Palermo, from the basis of a former edition that another printer had started in Messina, and then interrupted at the time of the city rebellion against the Spanish crown.

Tra bisogni individuali e fruizione collettiva. Spazi delle biblioteche e pratiche di lettura in una prospettiva diacronica
2021
Over the centuries, libraries have profoundly transformed their spaces, their physical appearance, their organization, but they have always remained faithful to their dual mission: a) to support lifelong learning and individual creativity, and b) to foster community development, that is, the growth of all social groups and age groups. The evolution of libraries has seen a steady acceleration especially since the mid-19th century, when the industrial processes of book production definitely expanded the availability and accessibility of content for a largest audience. The improved socio-economic conditions were best suited to the birth and development of public libraries, acting as democratic…

“Let there be light”. Andrew Carnegie e le biblioteche pubbliche
2021
The impact of cultural patronage for local development has so far not been adequately emphasized in comparative studies on public library history. Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919), the famous entrepreneur of Scottish origins who, as a young man, emigrated to the United States (Pennsylvania), where the fortunes of his steel industry quickly made him an extremely wealthy man, can rightly be regarded as the most extraordinary patron of public libraries in the English-speaking countries between the 19th and 20th centuries. Later, mindful of the great value of free libraries for his self-training in his youth, Carnegie devoted several million dollars for the establishment of over 2,500 new public lib…
