Sistematica del Falco pellegrino (Falco peregrinus) in Italia
2021
Validated data and published studies indicate that four subspecies are present in continental Italy and its surrounding islands. Two of these subspecies (F. p. peregrinus and F. p. brookei) represent breeding populations, while the other two (F. p. calidus and F. p. pelegrinoides) winter and migrate in the country. Indeed, the European subspecies (F. p. peregrinus) has the most intriguing status, as it can both breed and winter. The exact range of the breeding population is not well-defined - it probably occurs in alpine and pre-alpine areas, perhaps reaching the Apennines of central Italy. Individuals originating from northern European countries in autumn and winter certainly implement thi…
Maties Mercader, Pratica de citreria (1475) : Edició crítica. Introducció i notes
2014
Treballem sobre un manuscrit del s.XV escrit per Maties Mercader, canonge de la catedral de València nascut a principis del s.XV i mort el 1489 a la mateixa ciutat. Les seues restes reposen a la catedral. El manuscrit està datat el 1475 a la ciutat de Nàpols. Mercader, germà i fill de batlles de València, va ser a la cort del rei Ferran, fill d’Alfons el Magnànim, on aquell li encomanà un treball sobre la pràctica que ell mateix havia experimentat en la cura d’ocells de caça. Mercader era aficionat a aquesta modalitat de caça i l’havia exercida acompanyant el mateix rei Ferran. Obeint el dictamen del rei, la seua experiència en la cura d’ocells ve recollida en aquest preciós còdex de quaran…
Convergence analysis for hierarchical longitudinal data
2018
Abstract Convergence analysis is typically envisaged either from a macro or a micro perspective. However, empirical tests tend to ignore that the two levels are often “nested” in a hierarchy. Building on hierarchical growth curve modelling, we propose an approach to convergence analysis that allows contemporaneous inference on macro and micro-convergence. Compared to the classic linear convergence analysis, the suggested methodology provides a more flexible alternative to model heterogeneity and validate the results for possible Galton's fallacy. We illustrate the approach in two empirical examples, one considering convergence across European regions and countries and the other across Itali…
La seduzione squadrista in un fascismo periferico. Memoria e ceto politico a Palermo
2019
During Mussolini's dictatorship, the concept of squadrismo was an essential aspect of the Fascist identity. Squadrismo was widespread in Central and Northern Italy in particular, and certain cities in the South subsequently resorted to fabricating their own squadrist myths and traditions. This essay focuses on the case of Palermo. The relationship between the fascist squads' origins and certain local leaders' life histories is underlined. More specifically, an attempt is made to show how Palermo had more "political" prefects than many other Italian provinces. As Fascism emerged later in the South than elsewhere in Italy, the local party hierarchies had not taken part in the original Fascist…
Davide e Golia. Giuseppe Antonio Borgese e la traiettoria americanista di un esule antifascista
2019
Giuseppe Antonio Borgese was one of the anti-fascist intellectuals who, around the Thirties of the XX Century, let themselves be involved by the American myth. Although inspired by democratic ideals mixed with a profound sense of Risorgimento and libertarian patriotism, he was near the nationalist and interventionist ideology. The decisive turning point in Borgese's life took place during the years in which the dictatorship and the regime of censorship imposed by Fascism, became ever more alive and dominant, causing him to develop the idea of leaving Italy for the United States. Beyond the contradictories relationships that bound him to the two Countries, Borgese, unable to recognize his ho…
Un ponte ancora aperto? Alcune note sull’emigrazione siciliana verso gli Stati Uniti durante il fascismo
2018
During the 1920s, after the promulgation by US government of the Quota Acts, and after the new fascist policies about emigration in Italy (1926), we register a dramatic decrease of the transatlantic migration flows from Italy to the US. Focusing on the case of Sicily, one of the region which had sent more emigrants to the US during the Great Migration, this essay analyses the issue of migratory waves from Southern Italy to the US during the Fascism. In fact, despite of the reshaping of migration policies, some traditional networks between Sicily and America are still working. For example, some new researches about transnational Mafia reveal the existence of dynamic Sicilian-American network…
Banks, Firms and Economic Culture: Economists and Research Centres in Interwar Italy
2020
In the interwar years, Italy experimented a strong growth of applied economic research. The foundation of research centers can be read and placed in a much wider international trend that emerged during the Great War. In this essay, we offer a map of the most important research centers, exploring the extensive web of relationships between the academia and the productive world. We then focus on a set of case studies, selected for their relevance. Section 2 is devoted to the banking sector, with reference to four important cases (Banca Commerciale Italiana, Banca d’Italia, Associazione Bancaria Italiana and Banco di Sicilia); section 3 to the industrial sector (IRI, Finsider, Ansaldo, Edison, …

Il trattato L’Amore e la «legge dell’egoismo universale»: il positivismo inquieto di Federico De Roberto
2018
L’Amore. Fisiologia – Psicologia – Morale is probably the highest level of De Roberto’s ideology, and at same time it may be considered as a turning point in the poetic of this author. De Roberto lives in a Positivist age, and he deeply trusts in the instrument of reason. In this work he aims to demonstrate all the contradictions of love and the egoism of the social life. So, De Roberto arrives to a uneasy Positivism, which is focused not only on the “how” of the phenomena, but also to the “why”. Under this point of view, De Roberto’s relativism is similar to that one of Pirandello, and it announces the incoming Modernism. Even if it is impossible to join the truth, De Roberto doesn’t quit …
