A Greek-Byzantine musical island inside an Italian island: the Byzantine chant of the Arbëresh of Sicily
2015
The Albanians (the Arbëresh) constitute the largest linguistic ethnic “minority” in Sicily. The community is made up of around 20,000 people living in 5 towns, all of which are in the province of Palermo. The most important of these villages is Piana degli Albanesi, where the Bishop (whose Greek name is Eparca) of the Diocese (the Eparchìa) of the Albanians of Sicily has is seat. The cultural identity of the Albanians of Sicily is basically expressed by the Arbëresh language and the Byzantine rite. The chant is a fundamental element of the Arbëresh-Byzantine Liturgies and Offices (Matins, Vespers, Hours). The liturgical repertoire is very wide and accompanies the entire liturgical year. The…

Leggendo l'Anonimo Maltese. Alcune considerazioni su Giorgio di Antiochia
2018
The Anonymous Poem addressed to George of Antioch, plenipotentiary minister of the Norman king Roger II, is one of the longest existent poem in Medieval Greek. Exile poem, heartfelt plea of redemption and freedom, it can be looked at from different perspectives: literary, linguistic and historical. But first and foremost it represents a unique example of that Norman court culture whose byzantine components may still surprise. Willing to please the addressee in order to prove himself worthy of mercy through a skilful use of rhetoric, the author develops a rich repertoire of sources, both Greek and Latin, that certainly deserve further attention. Following the career of the architect of king …

Les fonds d'archives grecs de l'Italie du Sud et de Sicile. Un miroir pour l'Athos?
2019
André Guillou began publishing the Greek documents of Southern Italy shortly before the appearance of the third volume of the Archives de l’Athos (Actes de Xéropotamou, 1964). The first volume, published in 1963, was followed by six other in the series Corpus des actes grecs d’Italie du Sud et de Sicile (1974–2009). Additional publications have appeared since then. Thanks to this editorial work we may now attempt a comparison of the Italian documentary body with the already well-known Athonite material, which may permit a better understanding of the regional particularities of the documents. More than a thousand documents written in Southern Italy survive from the Byzantine and Angevin peri…
Lingua e prassi della definizione dei confini nelle fonti documentarie. Materiali per uno studio del multiculturalismo in età normanna.
2022
Multiculturalism and multilingualism are often used to condense the Norman political and cultural experience in the kingdom of Sicily into a formula. How the coexistence of the three, if not four, cultural communities - Greek Byzantine language and rite, Arab Muslim and Judeo-Arabic, Latin Roman rite - was articulated is, however, a far from simple question. The contribution attempts to demonstrate the validity of the act of juridical practice as a tool for the study of Norman society and culture in Sicily starting from the analysis of the definition of boundaries, urban and rural, contained therein.
