Venerari Contendere Adicere: Roman Emulation, Intergenerational Reciprocity, and the Ancient Idea of Progress
2019
Over the past few decades, the successful emergence of intertextuality, with its careful investigation of the dynamics of imitation, allusion, and emulation, has effectively challenged the Romantic notions of creativity and individual authorship. In the wide-open field left by the postmodern ‘death of the author’, however, the territory of culture as a network of patterns hiding behind the text has often been restricted within the boundaries of literary culture. In this paper, I will attempt to enlarge such a text-centred perspective by highlighting the often neglected connections between family education, intergenerational reciprocity, and aesthetic thought in Roman culture. Indeed, long b…
Giovanni Marrasio fra Virgilio, Orazio e Properzio
2021
Questo saggio mira a presentare la figura e l’opera poetica di Giovanni Marrasio (Noto, 1400/1404 - Caltanissetta, sett. 1452), umanista siciliano autore dell’«Angelinetum» e dei «Carmina varia», attivo nella prima metà del sec. XV fra la Sicilia e Siena, Firenze e Padova, Ferrara e Napoli, in rapporti con altri umanisti e letterati (Giovanni Aurispa, Antonio Beccadelli, Leonardo Bruni, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Carlo Marsuppini, Maffeo Vegio, Niccolò Niccoli, Guarino Veronese), potenti uomini di stato (Niccolò III d’Este, Alfonso il Magnanimo) e di chiesa (papa Niccolò V).

Il drenaggio pleurico
2013
Per definizione, il drenaggio è un presidio atto ad eliminare liquidi generalmente patologici da cavità naturali o neoformate. Il drenaggio di raccolte addominali non presenta particolari difficoltà poiché è sufficiente che il tubo di drenaggio sia ben posizionato, pervio, declive e di calibro proporzionato alla quantità e alla qualità del materiale da drenare. La sua assenza, anche se potrà ritardare o complicare notevolmente il processo di guarigione di una malattia, difficilmente comprometterà la vita del soggetto in maniera acuta e drammatica. Assai diverso è il drenaggio di raccolte intratoraciche, non soltanto per la assoluta necessità del suo impiego, ma anche per le modalità tecnich…
Cytosporones, coumarins, and an alkaloid from the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis sp. isolated from the Chinese mangrove plant Rhizophora mucronata
2009
Chemical examination of the endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis sp., isolated from the leaves of the Chinese mangrove Rhizophora mucronata, yielded 11 new compounds including cytosporones J-N (1-3, 5-6), five new coumarins pestalasins A-E (8-12), and a new alkaloid named pestalotiopsoid A (14), along with the known compounds cytosporone C (4), dothiorelone B (7), and 3-hydroxymethyl-6,8-dimethoxycoumarin (13). The structures of the new compounds were unambiguously elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis.
The transformation of the Horatian Sabine farm in Persius? Satire 6
2020
The purpose of this article is to focus on the motif of the countryside in Roman satire. In particular, it aspires to study the way the Sabine farm is delineated in Horace's Satire 2.6 and later in his Epistles, in order to elucidate the evolution of this motif in Persius? 6th Satire. In this poem, Persius addresses Caesius Bassus, who retreats to Sabine to seek poetic inspiration, but seems trapped in the paths of earlier poetry and cannot attain bliss, while the poet achieves it in the port of Luna.
