Una “nuova” Livia da Leptis Magna: osservazioni sul contributo delle botteghe attiche nell’elaborazione e diffusione dell’immaginario imperiale
2012
the paper focuses on a very fine peplophoros from leptis Magna, now in the local archaeological Museum, which was briefly mentioned in two wide-ranging studies about the iconography of livia (Freyerschauenburg 1982, Bartman 1999), but more recently omitted by a. alexandridis (2004) as unidentifiable. in spite of difficulties in respect of the lack of provenance or restoration record (it was probably found during the “new excavations” conducted by E. Vergara Caffarelli 1954-1960), stylistic and some iconographic details confirm that the body and portrait head can belong together. the head combines a very idealized, classical face with a hairstyle which is a Typenklitterung of two portrait ty…
La morte di Pitagora e i culti delle Muse e di Demetra. Mousiké ed escatologia nelle comunità pitagoriche di Magna Grecia
2014
L’articolo propone un’analisi delle testimonianze relative alla connessione tra la morte di Pitagora e i culti delle Muse e di Demetra (la cui fonte sembra essere Timeo, FGrHist 566 F 131) alla luce della simbologia escatologica della musica e dei riti misterici, e del ruolo della memoria in ambito pitagorico. Tali testimonianze sembrano presupporre concezioni relative ai Misteri e alla katabasis, ambiti familiari non solo al culto di Demetra, ma anche a quello delle Muse, e rinviano al ruolo delle donne nei sodalizi Pitagorici. Alla luce delle rivolte antipitagoriche di metà V sec. a.C., inoltre, il culto di Demetra appare funzionale alla difesa e al consolidamento del ruolo politico dei P…
Le armi dal complesso sacro di Contrada Gaggera a Selinunte: alcuni dati preliminari
2022
The review of bronze finds from the excavations carried out in the contrada Gaggera sanctuaries from 1888 until 1925 as well as in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and the reading of old excavation notebooks have allowed the identification of a huge number of unpublished weapons. This evidence has also been considered in relation to what has been published by Ettore Gabrici in the 1927 edition of the Malophoros sanctuary. The study better clarifies the finding context of these materials (from the sanctuary of Demeter Malophoros or from the sacred area of Zeus Meilichios) and provides an overview of the different types of weapons. The most recurring objects turn out to be arrow…

Dioniso a Capodarso ? Ricostruzione di una statua fittile di divinità seduta in trono
2013
The analysis and reinterpretation of three coroplastic fragments found in the 1960s at the Capodarso site (in the province of Enna) allow us to attribute them to a single artefact and, in particular, to a life-size statue seated on a throne, probably a cult statue.
