«History’s stained canvas»: Uses and appropriations of medieval past in Enlightenment Historiography. The case of Peter «the cruel»
2020
The aim of this paper is to explore the political meanings of the medieval past in the historical understanding of individuals in the 18th century. Beyond the familiar Gothic myth, I will focus on the multilayered image of the monarch Peter of Castile (1334–1369), considered cruel, lustful and passionate in the eyes of enemies and historians. The aim is to analyse the different attitudes towards and uses of this historical figure (one that was quite problematic given the cultural values of the period), ranging from the most negative of connotations to the most passionate of defences and including some more ambiguous stances. For this analysis, I will explore certain Enlightenment debates th…
Sulla politica religiosa di Marciano: tra legislazione, agiografia, storiografia
2016
Nel 451, nel IV concilio ecumenico convocato a Calcedonia da Marciano, si stabiliva la condanna di nestorianesimo e monofisismo. Si trattava di una vittoria che vedeva legate Costantinopoli, che confermava il suo ruolo di primazia nell’ambito delle chiese orientali, e Roma che già con papa Leone aveva manifestato il suo accordo con il patriarcato costantinopolitano. Tutta la legislazione emessa negli anni successivi da Marciano, per affermare e difendere il credo di Calcedonia, riflette le tensioni tra centro e periferia e testimonia la reazione imperiale alle spinte autonomistiche e all’emergere di regionalismi, documentate soprattutto in ambiente siriaco e copto dalla letteratura agiograf…

2014
Se presentan un conjunto de piezas arqueológicas de época ibérica y romana conservadas en el Palacio-Castillo de Betxí (Plana Baixa, Castelló), con toda probabilidad recopiladas por Pascual Meneu entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX, al tiempo que se propone su procedencia en determinados yacimientos arqueológicos del término municipal. Posteriormente se analiza la figura de Pascual Meneu y sus aportaciones dentro del contexto de la arqueología de la época. We present a set of archaeological remains of the Iberian and Roman period, preserved at the Palace-Castle of Betxí probably folded by Pascual Meneu between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Later we analy…
Beyond Borders in the History of Science Education
2015
In this chapter, I explore the interactions between the new history of science education and the research agenda of the group “Science and Technology in the European Periphery” (STEP). While reviewing the contributions made by STEP members to this field, I discuss some missed opportunities and challenges faced by peripheral contexts in mainstream narratives of the history of science education. Many authors have called for cross-national studies and the application of a comparative approach to the history of science education, but studies of this kind are few. They require researchers to use sources written in several languages and to master a wide range of local studies and highly fragmente…
En una galaxia muy, muy lejana… Espectáculos romanos en el universo StarWars
2020
Todo el mundo reconoce en la carrera de vainas de Star Wars Episodio I: la amenaza fantasma la competición de cuadrigas de la famosísima secuencia del film Ben-Hur de 1959, pero este no es el único espectáculo romano que aparece en las dos primeras trilogías: una pompa, una damnatio ad bestias y una venatio están también presentes en las películas de George Lucas. ¿Se basan estas escenas de la película en documentación histórica? ¿En historiografía sobre el tema? ¿En literatura? ¿En otras películas? creemos interesante hacer un pequeño análisis de todos ellos y con este trabajo intentaremos dar respuesta a estas preguntas.

Ius facit populum. Sul rapporto tra diritto e popolo nel Medioevo rileggendo Walter Ullmann
2018
In 1961, Walter Ullmann studied the characteristics of Politics and Government in the Middle Ages and he theorized two different models of power and law: the Ascending and Descending Themes of Government. In the same years, Francesco Calasso encouraged a renewal of Legal History and he developed the system of ius commune. Going through the famous theory proposed by Ullmann in Principles of Government and Politics in the Middle Ages, this paper aims at analyzing the concept of power during the period of ius commune and connecting these observations with the Calasso’s lesson.

Recensione del volume di Daniel Barbu, Philippe Borgeaud, Mélanie Lozat, Nicolas Meylan, Anne-Caroline Rendu Loisel (ed.), Le savoir des religions : fragments d'historiographie religieuse. Gallion: Infolio Editions, 2014. Il volume mostra le diverse declinazioni attraverso cui il “sapere delle religioni” si costruisce oppure entra, in momenti particolari, in crisi o partecipa a più ampi processi di ristrutturazione dell’orizzonte di senso è dunque lo scopo principale di quest’opera, che si articola in tre sezioni, ciascuna delle quali si concentra su un differente grado di riflessività dei saperi “religiosi”.
