La scoperta, sistemazione e conservazione della grande Iscrizione di Gortina, nell'isola di Creta (1884-1921): la protezione delle testimonianze e le…
2013
La scoperta e la conservazione della Grande Iscrizione di Gortina a Creta, da parte degli studiosi italiani, fra la fine del XIX sec. e i primi decenni del XX sec., rappresentò un grande riconoscimento scientifico-culturale per la giovane nazione italiana. Nel passato, l’isola di Creta era stata legata alla Repubblica di Venezia e anche questo rapporto favorì l’invio a Creta del giovane epigrafista F. Halbherr, il quale fra notevoli peripezie rinvenne, assieme all’epigrafista tedesco E. Fabricius, la famosa l’iscrizione nell’antica città di Gortina. L’iscrizione, fra le più antiche e complete finora conosciute in tutta Europa, conteneva le norme sulla famiglia, l’eredità e in generale i dir…
'Viva Alemania': internados alemanes de Camerún en España durante la Primera Guerra Mundial
2019
espanolUn episodio historico poco conocido en el ambito de las relaciones interculturales germano-espanolas y de los procesos migratorios, pero cuyas huellas son todavia palpables en la actualidad, es el de la internacion de la llamada Schutztruppe (fuerza militar colonial alemana) de Camerun en Espana durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Lo sorprendente en esta situacion de crisis politica se reflejo en el entusiasmo y la admiracion con que fueron recibidos en un primer momento los llamados “internados” alemanes en un pais supuestamente neutral y que se encontraba oficiosamente dividido entre aliadofilos y germanofilos. El ensayo es el resultado de una minuciosa busqueda de las huellas liter…
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…
Organisation médicale pendant la première guerre mondiale. L’exemple de l’hôpital américain de Saint-Parize-le-Châtel
2016
The data obtained from the diagnosis carried out in 2014 in Saint-Parize-le-Châtel, in Nievre, compared with those obtained from the archives and information provided by local authorities, enabled us to retrace the history of this large American hospital (700 permanent buildings on 330 ha) built during the winter of 1918-1919. The spatial organization of the camp, which meets various criteria (patient/caregiver, male/female, officers/soldiers, living areas/care areas/technical areas), and equipment (radiology, disinfection, laboratories...) show that it was conceived as a place benefiting from pioneering advances in matters of health.

The use and abuse of parliamentary concepts in Hungarian parliamentary debates, 1920–27
2020
During and after the First World War, discourses calling for constitutional reform pervaded Europe. The break-up of the continental empires, the emergence of the new nation-states, and the western calls for democratization collectively gave rise to transnational debates about parliamentarization and parliamentary government. However, in the diverse and contingent post-war political environment, at the same time these ideals were given profoundly nation-specific meanings. They were implemented in the process of nation-building in equally diverse national contexts. This article analyses the use and abuse of the parliamentary concepts and their vernacular redescriptions in Hungarian parliament…
THE VAST PROJECT: VALORISATION OF HISTORY AND LANDSCAPE FOR PROMOTING THE MEMORY OF WWI
2018
Abstract. The VAST (valorisation of history and landscape) project (http://vast.fbk.eu/) was part of the initiatives promoted by the Autonomous Province of Trento (Italy) for the commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the First World War (WWI) outbreak. The project was primarily aimed to document and promote, through 3D digitization approaches and communication material, the memory of sites, theatre of the world conflict. The Italian Trento’s province had been under the Austro–Hungarian Empire until the end of the WWI, during which represented a crucial and bloody war front between the Austrian and Italian territories. The region was constellated of military fortresses, trenches and tunn…
The Inefficiency of Knowledge and the Limits of Explanations; the Necessity of Critique
2013
July 22nd 2011 Norway experienced the deadliest terror attack in the country since World War II. One man, Anders Behring Breivik, ABB (33), blew up the Governmental Headquarters in our capital Oslo, killing eight people. Later that day he shot and killed, one by one, 69 youths attending a summer camp at Utøya, and wounded many others. His target was the Norwegian Labour Party, its most prominent and influential members, and those who one day might be. His country is dying he says, because of multiculturalism. He is a commander and knight—future leader and even king. His actions were political, compulsory—necessary. . . he says. He regrets nothing.
El mito aéreo en el futurismo italiano:del periodo heroico a la espiritualidad aérea (1909-1944) The aerial myth of Itanian futurism: from the heroic…
2021
La poética de lo aéreo atravesó transversalmente la historia del futurismo italiano. El undécimo punto de su manifiesto y fundación en 1909, hizo referencia al aeroplano como una máquina esencial para comprender que la vida y el arte se debían someter a un mundo en permanente transformación. Lo aéreo y sus implicaciones compusieron proclamas y manifiestos determinando la creación literaria y artística del periodo heroico. En los años treinta, cuando el futurismo planteaba su supervivencia en el complejo contexto social y político italiano, la aeropintura se convirtió en su línea oficial. Un perfil que, desde ese mismo momento, se bifurcó en dos tendencias complementarias: la dedicada a una …
