Charles XIV Jean (alias Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte) and the Finnish Question
2008
One of the first important acts of Charles Jean XIV as head of Sweden was to renounce the idea of reconquering Finland. It was a difficult position to take, considering the conditions of the time, and in all likelihood, he swung back and forth for several months before taking a definitive decision, contrary to what he might have asserted later. Moreover, the regent, then sovereign, of Sweden, was forced to justify his choice throughout his reign and to navigate between the dangerous reefs of a diverse opposition , which was organised to varying degrees.Thus, the Finnish policy was, for another thirty years, a thorn in the side of the royal power at Stockholm.
"Nodier and sadism: the "monstrous turpitudes" of Smarra"
2021
Nodier studies have scarcely examined the relationship between Nodier and Sade, the first one having apparently done everything to lessen his interest in the sulphurous work of the marquis. However, little is known, Nodier is the inventor, or the propagator of the word “sadism” in the French language, which appeared for the first time in 1834, in the 8th edition of the "Dictionnaire Universel" by Boiste, that, precisely, revised, amended and largely amplified by Nodier. The objective of this article is to shed light on this immorality-stricken relationship between a writer concerned about his reputation and in search of respectability (Nodier was elected to the Académie française in 1833, a…

L’archéologue classique aux prises avec le monde diplomatique. Le cas de Salomon Reinach en 1881
2017
Classical Archeology Clashing with the World of Diplomacy: the Case of Salomon Reinach in 1881 Studies on the ties between archeology and diplomacy focus mostly on the way a few individuals reconciled a double career and realized the ideal of a hybrid figure: the diplomat as archeologist. Less attention has been paid to the relations, on a daily basis, between classical archeology and the world of consulates and embassies in the Eastern Mediterranean. Most of the time, one relies on the widespread cliché of the archeologist as a victim of bureaucracy. The case studied here is that of Salomon Reinach (1858-1932) and his abundant correspondence, held by the bibliothèque Méjanes (Aix-en-Proven…
Navegando hacia Italia. El Reino de Cerdeña en el escenario político resultante de los tratados de Utrecht – Rastatt
2014
En 1713 finalizaba la administración de Carlos VI, ejercida desde Barcelona; por ello las disposiciones de gobierno, que habían llegado a la isla desde la capital catalana, dejaban de hacerlo. Con la institución en Viena, en 1714, del Consejo de España, los referentes territoriales y políticos del reino sardo serán sobre todo: Milán o Nápoles; con el espacio italiano ampliará sus lazos, sustituyendo aquellos que durante siglos había mantenido con los territorios ibéricos. Paralelamente Cerdeña pasaba a ser moneda de cambio en la búsqueda de un nuevo equilibrio territorial y político. La sombra imperial la mantuvo a salvo en Utrecht. Sin embargo la ruptura de ese equilibrio por parte de Feli…
DIO SALVI IL RESTAURO. L’apporto inglese alla cultura della conservazione dei monumenti
2020
Sebbene già riuscissimo a percepire quanto rilevante fosse l’apporto inglese per aver contribuito alla definizione del restauro modernamente inteso, sino ad oggi mancavano ancora sia una chiara visione d’insieme delle articolate vicende connesse all'affermazione dei princìpi conservativi, sia una più approfondita conoscenza delle fonti documentarie, necessarie al fine di tracciare i profili culturali dei protagonisti e scandagliarne i contributi teorici. La ricostruzione delle vicende è sviluppata entro margini temporali estesi all'incirca per tre secoli, dalla fine del Seicento al principio del Nove-cento, e strutturata attraverso la traduzione e lo studio di testi perlopiù mai circolati i…
Opera, ball and spoken theatre at the royal palace of Caserta
2021
The royal palace of Caserta was built at the behest of Charles of Bourbon but completed under his son, Ferdinand IV. During the second half of the Eigheteenth Century, it hosted many different musical activities; succesfull serious and comic operas already performed in the theatres of Naples as well as vocal and instrumental concerts were offered there to a selected audience. Tragedies, “all’immprovviso” comedies and balls were also frequently enjoyed by the members of the royal family. In the small center of San Leucio, 4 kilometres far from Caserta, Paisiello’s “Nina o sia La pazza per amore” was premiered in 1789.
Sismondi nel giudizio di Francesco Ferrara
2011
L’articolo approfondisce il giudizio che Francesco Ferrara, il principale economista italiano del Risorgimento, esprime sull’opera intellettuale di Sismondi nelle prefazioni della Biblioteca dell’Economista. Ne scaturisce una critica severa ma allo stesso tempo articolata e complessa nella quale il dissenso dottrinario si alterna a elementi di condivisione e ad una parziale rivalutazione dell’autore ginevrino posto in comparazione con la scuola classica.

Così reale da poter essere immaginato: il ruolo dell’immaginazione sociologica e i “fatti sociali” globali
2023
The understanding of contemporary economic geographies and global “social facts” represent the best challenge for Burawoy’s public sociology. Scholars wonder whether sociology can successfully address our time’s problems, keeping its spirit of service to the community alive. Indeed, recent political and economic events require formulating a new sociological imagination that is more creative, open, and accessible to the general public. In this paper, we use some of the most significant intersections of Mills’ work, between history and personal biography, to highlight the sociological imagination’s significant role in understanding the present. We use practical cases of applying the concept o…
