Filippo II allo specchio del suo mondo
2019
La biografia di Filippo, che II si colloca nel contesto di un’Europa travagliata dalle guerre di religione e che si apriva al mondo, può essere letta attraverso gli occhi dei cronisti del tempo che spesso dipinsero il "rey prudente" come un sovrano pacifico nonostante le innumerevoli guerre da lui condotte nel corso di un lungo regno, che abbracciò quasi tutta la seconda metà del XVI secolo. Fondamentale è la ricostruzione della dimensione dinastica e familiare entro cui si svolgeva la vita politica nella Spagna e nell’Europa del XVI secolo, come anche la politica confessionale del sovrano, tesa alla difesa a oltranza del Cattolicesimo e alla lotta contro gli eretici e gli infedeli.
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 …

Sonnets for a City on a Hill
2012
One factor – one among many – that lends a work of art dynamism and interest is tension. Both the making and the reading of poems can be thought of as dynamic processes. Processes that begin with the gradual discovery of their own obstacles and, in finding satisfactory ways to overcome them, achieve completion by integrating resolved conflicts into an expanded field of understanding.

Le jeu du meme et de l'autre : "Le Horla" de Guy de Maupassant, un récit "dédoublé" en deux versions
2015
The Horla , written twice, is considered as a masterpiece of a short horror story. Its two versions are still objects of critics’ arguments : some of them see in the second text an amplified and revised version of the first one, whereas others consider the two texts as two separate stories. The paper tries to consider the two Horlas as two complementary parts of the same story ; the first is told by a completely ‘normal’ person who has asked to live in a lunatic asylum, and the second, full of striking, strong emotions, is given by someone who gives up more and more to mental troubles caused by his fear of the unknown, the unnamed, the invisible. Considered in this way, the texts of the two…

Riflessività e narrazione autobiografica per una cittadinanza digitale.
2019
Within nowadays information and knowledge society, training paths are exposed to changes due to technological development. These technological hints offer a plurality of communicative tools that endlessly extend the possibility of narrating, talking about oneself, telling oneself and being recognized.
