ALCUNE CONSIDERAZIONI SULL’ARCHITETTURA CIVILE A SIRACUSA E NEGLI IBLEI FRA XV E XVI SECOLO
2021
The few buildings that survived the 1693 earthquake, concentrated mainly in the city of Syracuse, offer a fragmentary picture of late Gothic civil architecture in south-eastern Sicily. The analysis of the detail elements such as windows and doorawys in the facades, stairways and loggias inside the courtyards, marked by the coexistence of late Gothic and Renaissance architectural languages, highlights the adoption of decorative motifs widespread throughout Sicily and the Mediterranean context. However, many original solutions emerge, such as the square mullioned window, largely common in the city of Syracuse but also present in Scicli, probably very common in the urban landscape of the hybla…
Hallazgo de un denario merovingio inédito de Marsella en la ciudad de Tarragona (España)
2019
Documentamos el importante descubrimiento de un denario merovingio procedente de Masilia (Marsella) en la ciudad catalana de Tarragona (España). Debido a la escasez de esta tipología, no solamente en el suelo peninsular, creemos que su publicación es de una gran importancia. Y más aún considerando que el estudio de las relaciones comerciales tanto de corto como de largo recorrido entre el reino visigodo de Toledo y la Francia merovingia se mantiene poco desarrollado. We study the important fi nding of a Merovingian denarius from Masilia (Marseille) in the Catalan city of Tarragona (Spain). Due to the scarcity of this coinage, not only in the Iberian Peninsula, we believe that its publicatio…
Ostensori architettonici in Sicilia tra suggestioni iberiche e rinascimentali
2022
Through the analysis of six architectural monstrances housed in churches and museums in Sicily, the formal and compositional languages that, between Iberian and Renaissance suggestions, characterize these masterpieces of sacred art are analyzed. They are small silver architectures, produced between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, which are influenced by the Catalan Gothic influences and the Italian Renaissance, in a peculiar Sicilian synthesis.
Post-Apartheid Gothic. White South African Writers and Space
2021
International audience; Post-Apartheid Gothic: White South African Writers and Space analyzes the representation of space in recent works by South African writers. By combining analytical tools borrowed from Gothic studies with geocritical and postcolonial approaches, Mélanie Joseph-Vilain assesses the literary mechanisms utilized by Damon Galgut, Henrietta Rose-Innes, Lauren Beukes, Justin Carwright, and Lynn Freed to negotiate the complexities of post-apartheid identities in their fiction. Joseph-Vilain argues that the literary representations of emblematic places, real or imagined (the home, the farm, the city or the “non-places” of dystopia), express and reveal anxieties linked to the s…

Il Breviario di Simone Beccadelli della Cattedrale di Palermo (1453). Stagione 2: de Lignamine e Riggio
2022
All’arcivescovo Beccadelli è riferito un Breviarium miniato a più mani variamente riconosciute. L’intervento ricostruisce, identificando due stemmi post confezione non appartenenti al committente (1. goffrato sul taglio concavo, 2. c. VIv), altrettanti inediti passaggi di mano del ms. (XV-XVII sec.) An illuminated Breviarium by several hands variously recognized is referred to Archbishop Beccadelli. The work reconstructs, by identifying two post-package coats of arms not belonging to the patron (1. embossed on the concave cut, 2. c. VIv), as many unpublished hand transitions of the ms. (15th-17th cent.)
Viollet-le-Duc e la scoperta delle origini dell’architettura gotica
2017
Nella ricorrenza del secondo centenario della nascita, questo studio vuole mettere in evidenza alcuni aspetti ancora poco esplorati della formazione di Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, che hanno influenzato in modo fondamentale le sue ricerche. Ci si riferisce particolarmente all’interesse per la produzione artistica del Medioevo a cui lo studioso francese dedicherà le sue energie di ricercatore instancabile nel tentativo di trovare provenienze, derivazioni ed evoluzione dell’architettura gotica che rappresenterà anche lo stile ideale a cui riferirsi per collocarsi all’avanguardia della produzione architettonica del proprio tempo. Le naturali inclinazioni, la formazione liceale e la speciali…
