Tra tradizione punica e interpretatio romana: nota sui culti al Capo Boeo in età tardo-repubblicana
2021
Starting from the appellation of civitas splendidissima given by Cicero to Lilybaeum and from its relation with the juridical status of the Punic city after the Roman conquest, the aim of this paper is to reconstruct the topography of the town, with particular reference to the religious landscape. The most part of the data, as well as the information coming from epigraphy and numismatics concern the 2nd Century BC or, according with th common interpretation, the years in which Lilybaeum was under the control of Sextus Pompeus. Depicting an image of the “ciceronian city” implies an analysis of all the data, literary sources included, in order to establish which elements were still surviving …

The Gifts to Sicilian Sanctuaries from Spanish Viceroys and Local Nobility
2018
In seventeenth-century Sicily, worship, and the devotion that the noble and aristocratic classes in particular felt for the island’s main sanctuaries and the images that were venerated in them, stimulated the production of the decorative arts. Spanish viceroys and vicereines, and noblemen and women, commissioned many objects in order to offer them to the most important Sicilian sanctuaries as a sign of profound devotion and political power. The strong, intense presence of the Spanish nobility in Sicily explains the Spanish stylistic influences, which are manifested in the Sicilian production of decorative art objects, and especially in jewellery, an aspect that went hand in hand with fashio…

Attraverso una serie di dieci lettere indirizzate da Guaccero ad Antonino Titone, il testo ricostruisce i rapporti fra quest'ultimo e la "Scuola romana" (Evangelisti, Guaccero, Macchi)e le fasi iniziali della Settimana Internazionale Nuova Musica di Palermo
Monumenti ‘contro’: spazio, memoria e lotta politica in Roma antica. A proposito di Cic. Phil. 14, 32-33
2023
The paper deals with a proposal by Cicero in the fourteenth Philippic aimed at erecting a public tomb for the brave soldiers who died in the battle of Forum Gallorum. This proposal hides the orator’s desire for a monument, perhaps strategically placed in a prominent position in the Campus Martius, which would combine the celebration of the fallen with a firm condemnation of Antonius, who is, in the opinion of Cicero, a hostis publicus.
Meritare le responsabilità. Il complicato confine tra merito, virtù e gloria in Cicerone e in Tacito
2017
Quale posto la relazione tra merito e responsabilità ha avuto nelle concezioni morali dei Romani? Quale lessico ne è in qualche modo spia e rappresentazione? Per provare a rispondere a tali domande intendo partire dal Dialogus de oratoribus di Tacito, che presenterò come un apologo significativo del conflitto tra successo, gloria e virtù, utile anche per misurare la distanza tra le idee romane di merito e responsabilità e quelle nostre; quindi passerò dal racconto al modello, andando a recuperare, dietro i personaggi dell’opera, la riflessione etica compiuta dall’ultimo Cicerone, che trova il suo punto culturalmente più interessante proprio nell’individuazione di criteri che definiscono il …
Guerra e finanza nella Sicilia del XVII secolo. La partecipazione del Regno alla politica internazionale della monarchia spagnola
2022
In recent decades, the abandonment of the teleological perspective concerning the formation of the modern state has made it possible to rethink the nature of the European monarchies between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries and to read the center/periphery pair no longer in antithetical terms, but of integration and complementarity. If these historiographical acquisitions had significant implications in political and institutional studies, they were no less important in those lines of research that had as their focus the military sphere and its financing. The essay examines the participation of the Kingdom of Sicily in the international politics of the Spanish Monarchy, in order to un…
Helicobacter pylori and Barretts esophagus: a protective factor or a real cause?
2017
Nothwithstanding the definite aethiopathogenetic path of certain diseases, the relationship between Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) and barrett's esophagus (BE), a condition that increases the risk for dysplasia and consequently adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and esophagogastric junction, remains uncertain. this paper reviews the current scientific literature with emphasis on the protective correlation between H. Pylori infection and BE, and demonstrates that a causal relathionship has not been disproved with certainty. Furthermore, H. Pylori infection could pose a risk for the onset of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which could in turn trigger BE, a precancerous lesion and…
