L'irosa eloquenza delle strumae
2013
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how Cicero in his in Vatinium employs the iconic power of the body of the accused, Vatinius, and its repulsive strumae as a logical tool to support his persuasion strategy, thereby creating an enthymeme based upon the premises provided by the features of the body. This way of reasoning rests upon a strongly oriented and often distorting reading of the physical characteristics of the body in accordance with the physiognomic and pathognomonic doctrines. As a result, the de-formities of Vatinius's body, instead of being used to commend Vatinius, become important elements in Cicero's strategy of belittling his opponent's authority.
Quantum potero voce contendam. La pro Ligario di Cicerone nel giudizio di Quintiliano
2019
The paper analyses one of the last voices of the Ciceronian oratory, the Pro Ligario. After a reconstruction of the context in which the oration was produced, the attention is focused on the reception of the text by Quintilian, who on several occasions in the Institutio oratoria shows particular interest for the multiple problems connected to it, identifying the peculiar characteristics.
Non nuocere, aiutare, non offendere. Rileggere il De officiis di Cicerone nel conflitto tra prossimi e lontani
2019
Can Cicero’s De officiis be considered as an excuse for justifying and supporting the common idea that rights, aid and solidarity have been reserved only to those are “close” to us? In the current debate concerning the real universality and the value of human rights, the interpretation of the last work of Arpino’s author, framed in its historical and cultural context, may contribute to a fair restitution of the meaning we assume for the virtue named ratio societatis et communitatis.
Il discorso sui 'metalla' fra ideologia, poetica e retorica. Da Cicerone a Prudenzio
2002
L'articolo mira a ricostruire, attraverso un percorso per sondaggi e campioni, l'ampio dibattito sviluppato dalla cultura latina intorno al tema dello sfruttamento delle risorse minerarie in un arco di tempo che va dalla tarda repubblica al V secolo d. C. Analizzando una serie di testi appartenenti ad epoche, generi ed autori diversi (Cicerone, Ovidio, Manilio, Seneca, Lucano, Silio Italico, Tiberiano, Prudenzio) si pone in luce la natura eminentemente etico-culturale, e assai spesso moralistica, dell'interesse mostrato dagli scrittori latini per questo tipo di tematiche. Al contempo, tuttavia, si segnala un significativo slittamento prospettico nelle varie fasi della storia culturale roman…
Serve ancora ucidere i tiranni? A proposito di Ps. Quint. decl. min. 253
2018
The paper deals with Ps. Quint. decl. min. 253; in the text, concerning one of the best-known themes of the declamatory literature, a tyrannicide, after killing a tyrant, asks the community for approval of a rogatio in order to be sent to the tyrant of the nearby city. The declamation focuses on a hero willing to put the salvation of the community before his own, a theme certainly usual in Latin thought, but which traces new interpretative ways in the declamatory culture.

Le riforme istituzionali nel Mediterraneo del VI sec. a.C. La nascita di uno spazio politico a Roma e ad Atene
Il proposito principale di questa ricerca è quello di presentare le riforme del VI sec. a.C. in una prospettiva allargata, che potremmo definire “mediterranea”. Questa prospettiva intende far emergere, anche attraverso un confronto fra l’esperienza romana e greca (in particolare Ateniese), influenze e condizionamenti che, in larga parte provenienti dalle sponde orientali del Mediterraneo, influirono notevolmente sulla storia di Roma, contribuendo a determinare la nascita di una sfera propriamente politica per quanto riguarda il governo cittadino. La ricerca attraverso quest’impostazione che potremmo definire comparatistica, intende vagliare similitudini e differenze tra esperienza romana ed…
Marka Tullija Cicerōna runas pret Katilīnu
1939
"Pirmā runa, ko viņš teica senātā, sašutuma pārņemts, kad ieraudzīja tur ieradušos Katilīnu, ir tulkota pilnīgi. Pārējās centos pēc iespējas izsmeļoši atstāstīt. Visām runām pievienoju komentārus, kādus man likās nepieciešami, lai tās ilustrētu, beigās ziņas par Cicerōna dzīvi un darbiem kā arī vēsturiskus datus par Katilīnas sazvērestību." / sastādītājs un komentētājs Verners Ābele/
SPEECH AND SILENCE IN CICERO’S FINAL DAYS
2014
Composed in spring of 46 BC, Cicero’s Brutus emphasizes oratorical silence, in stark contrast with the prominence of the speech act found in the Pro Marcello and first Philippic. Yet in the face of those difficult times and amidst the silence that such times engender, Cicero ironically finds his voice. This paper will demonstrate Cicero’s acute awareness, in his final days, of the need to employ his rediscovered voice in light of eloquence’s changed role in Rome’s new political climate.
