Non sono atti degli apostoli ma scritti demoniaci. Il movimento enkratita nell’Anatolia tardoantica: iscrizioni, eresiologi e testi apocrifi
2017
Different sources (epigraphical, literary, apocryphal) can be used to analyse the Christian heretical sects connected to an enkratite movement (Enkratites, Apotactites, Sakkophoroi, Hydroparastatai, Aerians), which was characterised by radical forms of self-restraint (enkrateia). Epigraphical documents are helpful in setting these communities in the rural background of late antique Anatolia (4th-5th cent. AD). On the other side the apocryphal acts of the apostles offer important hints on social and economic ideas developed by Enkratites and throw new light on their specific Christian Weltanschauung.

Rola Tradycji w Kościele. Między „archeologizmem” a „entuzjazmem”
2020
The article is an attempt to answer the question about the relation between tradition and the development of theological cognition. The church from the first centuries was aware that allegiance to the council tenets exceeds a technical repetition of council`s formulas. It is clear that a belief in dogma assumes openness to both the past and the future.In the article two approaches to tradition are criticized: archeological and enthusiastic.

Guerre, tasse, contadini ed eresia. Note preliminari per un’analisi socio-economica dell’insorgenza del montanismo in Frigia.
2012
E' ben noto che la documentazione epigrafica può contribuire utilmente alla comprensione storica dei fenomeni religiosi in un particolare contesto socio-economico: è questo il caso del movimento montanista, sorto nella Frigia rurale all'epoca di Marco Aurelio (intorno al 171). Un'importante iscrizione di Süsüzoren, che riproduce un rescritto di Settimio Severo ai propri coloni dei villaggi di Tymion e Simoe, ha infatti chiarito la collocazione di Tymion, già nota come una delle due 'città sante' dei montanisti (insieme alla più famosa Pepuza), all'interno dei dominii imperiali di Frigia e mostrato il 'lamento' dei contadini locali a fronte di una esazione fiscale sentita come gravemente opp…

2018
In the last years the Missione Archeologica Italiana di Hierapolis di Frigia (MAIER) has recovered some important epigraphic documents which offer new data for the history of the city of Hierapolis, its bishopric, and the surrounding territory in Late Antiquity (4th-6th cent.). The most recently published inscriptions are discussed in this paper in their historical context (parr. 1-3) and the development of Hierapolis’ bishopric and its episcopal prosopography between the 4th and the 9th cent. are analyzed through the examination of literary and epigraphical sources and the comparison with other relevant cities of Western Asia Minor (par. 4.a-f).
