Pena negoziata e arbitrium iudicis: le transazioni criminali nel Regnum Siciliae (secc. XIII-XV)
2020
Contesti politico-istituzionali come il Regnum Siciliae sono tradizionalmente considerati esenti o, quanto meno, poco inclini a cessioni di potere e autonomia in favore dei soggetti privati in materia criminale. Se, però, il potere absolutus non ammette la delega ai privati nella gestione e risoluzione delle controversie, specialmente criminali, che tipo di funzione e natura giuridica hanno le composizioni meridionali? Se la natura dello strumento transattivo non fosse iuris privatorum a quali esigenze e scopi poteva rispondere la pratica compositiva? E ancora, se nel contesto comunale la scientia iuris si concentrò prevalentemente sul pregiudizio che una pace privata poteva avere sull’inqu…

Una Nueva Planta nella Sicilia di Filippo V: riforme militari per la “conservazione” e la difesa del Regno
2019
In 1701, in the aftermath of the ascension to the Spanish throne, Philip V began to design political and military reforms aimed at making administration more efficient and rationalizing the bureaucratic apparatus. This process had significant repercussions in the balance between the central power and representatives of local political powers who, in the delicate conjuncture of the War of Succession, redefined their participation within the Monarchy. This also happened in Sicily, where a large corpus of reform was directed to modify the island's defensive structure so as to guarantee the "conservation" of the kingdom and protect it from external and internal enemies, who worked jointly in su…
Medicina e religione: su alcuni contributi teratologici in Sicilia in età moderna
2023
The essay summarizes the parable of the affirmation of a teratological perspective in Sicily through some of its protagonists. What explanation do science and naturalists mature in the face of the disorienting epiphany of monstrous births? What lags and discontinuities are generated - in this path that is anything but linear and continuous - by a religious discourse that insists for a long time on the sacramental question and on the baptism of this unusual creatures? These are upheavals that make explicit the attempt by theology to still maintain an active dialogue with a medical discipline that in the modern age is gradually becoming the protagonist of an impetuous development.
Nel gioco delle giurisdizioni: il Tribunale della Regia Monarchia di Sicilia nel XVII secolo
2020
Le ampie competenze in materia ecclesiastica del re di Sicilia venivano esercitate in ambito giurisdizionale attraverso il Tribunale della Regia Monarchia. I fondamenti di tali prerogative regie furono posti in discussione in modo talvolta ampiamente conflittuale dalla Santa Sede, mentre queste stesse vennero indicate dai “regalisti” come veri e propri attributi della sovranità. Nel XVII secolo, nel quale il Tribunale aveva già una struttura consolidata, gran parte della sua attività fu dedicata a controversie di non elevato rilievo, intraprese solitamente per sfuggire alla ben più rigida giurisdizione ecclesiastica, sfruttando l’ampia possibilità di avocazione. Relativamente alla città di …
L'Economista Anglofilo. Paolo Balsamo e l'utopia liberale in Sicilia (1787-1816)
2023
Paolo Balsamo -economist and professor of University of Palermo from 1787 to 1812- was a traveller and expert in the most advanced and modern British and European agriculture. He wrote articles and essays, both in English and Italian, on agriculture and political economy and was a correspondent of important cultural and political circles of British Whiggism. As a member of the Sicilian Parliament, ideologist of the constitutional party and trusted collaborator of Lord Bentinck, he wrote the Sicilian Constitution of 1812 which reformed the old institution of the Kingdom of Sicily transforming it into a liberal State. This monography explores Balsamo's intellectual and political figure throug…
Ius Regni: multiculturalismo giuridico e modelli di interazione normativa nella Sicilia normanna e sveva
2018
Multiculturalism is the main focus of the most recent historical studies on Norman Sicily. The famous 'Arab-Norman' monuments and the multilingual (Latin-Greek-Arabic) documents of the XI-XIIth centuries are the material witnesses of this syncretism. Encounter between cultures - Latin, Greek, Arabic - is structured in Sicily through complex mechanisms of integration and mutual acculturation. The legal interaction between different cultures is of course at the core of this complex phenomenon. This essay analyzes the dimension of multiculturalism and multinormativism, focusing on the various meanings of customs in Muslim, Norman and Swabian Sicily, and their relation with the rulers' statutes.
Al-Tābisī and His Descendants: The Failed Integration of a Military Andalusi Family into the Christian Society of the Kingdom of Valencia (1238–1283)
2018
Although the life of al-Tābisi is shrouded in mystery, the evidence suggests that he was the descendant of one of the Andalusi military lineages that abandoned the Lower Ebro after the Catalonian occupation in the mid-twelfth century. During the Conquest of Valencia, al-Tābisi collaborated with the King of Aragon (probably as a member of the entourage of the sayyid Abū Zayd), with whom he participated in the siege of the city of Valencia (1238) and the subsequent war against al-Azraq (1258). His services were rewarded with land in the Huerta of Valencia, as well as several castles in the southern frontier of the kingdom. His descendants converted to Christianity, preserving references to th…
Las raíces del 'Brexit': institucionalización del euroescepticismo
2021
El Reino Unido votó abandonar la Unión Europea el 23 de junio de 2016, con un 51,9% de votos. Fue una decisión que sorprendió a todo el mundo, pese a que un análisis de la relación entre ambos actores puede denotar cierta ajenidad en el comportamiento del Estado británico respecto al organismo supranacional. Es por esto por lo que la tesis del presente estudio va a ser que la campaña del Leave basó sus argumentos en cuestiones identitarias y emocionales, para lo que reprodujeron las tradiciones históricas de la relación entre el Reino Unido y la Unión Europea. Para defenderla, se analizarán las razones esgrimidas en la campaña del Referéndum del 2016, a fin de buscar una explicación del fra…
