Utopie egualitarie e riformismo illuminato nella Carestia di Domenico Tempio
2022
La Carestia of the Sicilian poet Domenico Tempio is an allegorical satirical poem that fits into the tradition of southern enlightened reformism, feeding the utopia of peace and social egalitarianism. The article analyzes some frame of the work to grasp the thrust for the renewal of eighteenth-century poetry, through a stylistic use of the poetic language that oscillates between coloriture markedly expressionist and equally visible traces of formal classicism.
Note sulle arti decorative a Malta. Inediti argenti siciliani di inizio XIX secolo.
2015
L’articolo si occupa di preziosi e inediti argenti siciliani di inizio Ottocento (ante 1826/1829), tra Rococò e Neoclassicismo, che si trovano a Malta. La maggior parte di essi recano il marchio consolare della città di Catania e sono stati realizzati negli anni 1810-1812. The article deals with precious and unpublished Sicilian silverware of the early nineteenth century (ante 1826/1829), between Rococo and Neoclassicism, that are located in Malta. Most of them bear the consular city mark of Catania and were made in the years 1810-1812.
La tradición clásica como referencia de vanguardia: la Antigüedad griega y romana en la obra del pintor Gregorio Prieto (1897-1992)
2019
This article analyses the impact of classical tradition on the artistic production of Gregorio Prieto (1897-1992), painter par excellence of the Generation of 1927. It will be discovered how this influence, far from becoming a conservative reference, would constitute an incentive for his entailment with the avant-garde, especially with surrealism. Although the classic trace is found with more intensity in the creations produced during his Roman years, between 1928 and 1929, when he also made important trips to Sicily and Greece, Greece and Rome would nevertheless continue to be constitutive of his aesthetic experience throughout his later and extensive career.

Spunti di classicismo nei monumenti siciliani ai caduti della Prima Guerra Mondiale
2021
Dopo la conclusione della Prima Guerra Mondiale, tutti i comuni italiani cominciarono a erigere monumenti celebrativi in onore dei soldati morti nell’immane conflitto. Un aspetto meritevole di speciale attenzione, in queste opere commemorative, è l’utilizzo molto rilevante di forme ed elementi derivati dall’antichità greca e romana. Singole iconografie e singoli schemi tipologici, opportunamente rielaborati, potevano infatti adattarsi anche ai nuovi contesti celebrativi e ne rafforzavano il significato. La Sicilia sembra essere un buon case study per mostrare le potenzialità di un’analisi di questo genere: nei centri abitati di questa regione, come in tutto il territorio nazionale, sono pre…
L’Arioste et l’Empire. Réflexions sur les rédactions du Roland furieux
2011
Révisant la thèse communément admise de la « dimension impériale » de la troisième rédaction du Roland furieux (1532), l’article montre l’ambiguïté de l’éloge que l’Arioste adresse à Charles-Quint, à partir des faiblesses de l’image de Charlemagne et de l’importance donnée à des personnes tel qu’Andrea Doria. La reprise de l’esthétique des poètes de l’âge d’Auguste n’est pas l’effet de la geste impériale mais reprend les développements de la poésie à la cour de Ferrare, lieu de l’élaboration d’un canon de la poésie de goût classique.Revisando la tesis comúnmente admitida de la «dimensión imperial» de la tercera redacción del Orlando furioso (1532), este artículo muestra la ambigüedad del el…

The Romantics of 1909: Arthur Symons, Pierre Lasserre and T. E. Hulme
2016
Arthur Symons’s The Romantic Movement in English Poetry (1909) has elicited scant discussion. Part dictionary of British authors born before 1800, part series of portraits of canonical Romantic poets, The Romantic Movement remains perplexing with its unclear purpose and ungainly format. This article argues that Symons’s monograph should be approached in the turn of the century debate on the definition and value of British Romanticism. As opposed to T. E. Hulme’s ‘Romanticism and Classicism’ (1912?), itself indebted to Pierre Lasserre’s Le Romantisme français. Essai sur la révolution dans les sentiments et dans les idées au XIXe siècle (1907), Symons’s study appears as a defence of the roman…
Personifikacja a cud w polskiej teorii epopei lat porozbiorowych
2023
In Romanticism, the employment of abstract concepts within an epic ‘miracle machine’ was arranged by means of personification. This was the case until Antoni Malczewski, a Polish Romantic poet, introduced free indirect speech which facilitated linking anthropomorphised abstractions with their ‘genetic subjects,’ i.e. experiencing characters. The ‘miracle machine,’ by definition, was intended to be a response to a changeable vision of the world determined by history. Yet, what can be observed in poems of the late eighteen and early nineteenth century is, though with varying intensity, the presence of mythological characters along with Christian supernatural creatures, natural phenomena as we…
