Portable Spectroscopic Techniques for the Non-invasive Identification of two historical yellow pigments: Applications and Practical Challenges
2022
Abstract Decades of technological advances in instrumental analysis have transformed many techniques from laboratory in portable analytical tools with increasing their applicability in situ to the study of cultural heritage. It is known that the painting realisation varies from artist to artist, and the identification of the pigments provides a decisive contribution to trace their authenticity and to support an appropriate restoration work. However, in some cases, due to the complexity of painting composition, it is difficult to distinguish between pigments having a similar chemical composition and colour. Here, a systematic study through combined use of portable non-invasive spectroscopic …
«La speranza de’ regni». Celebrazione e spettacolo in tre 'feste' napoletane: Paisiello (1768), Jommelli (1772), Cafaro (1775)
2011
The genre of 'festa teatrale' had a large diffusion and a great social and political importance in the Neapolitan culture of the Eighteenth Century. The article examines three main examples, created in connection with crucial dynastic events: the marriage of the young king Ferdinand IV with Maria Carolina of Absburg in 1768, the birth of their first daughter in 1772, and the birth of their first son (and hereditary prince) in 1775. The librettos and the scores are analyzed in detail, with a specific focus on allegorical and celebratory features.

Le cappelle musicali a Palermo tra Cinque e Seicento: nuovi documenti sulla Palatina
2017
Individuare le cappelle musicali operanti a Palermo fra Rinascimento e Barocco non è certo un compito facile. Se guardiamo al contesto della produzione musicale, non possiamo non riconoscere il ruolo vitale svolto dagli ordini religiosi nel promuovere e diffondere attivamente la musica in tutti gli strati sociali. Difatti, tali comunità erano coinvolte in modo più o meno continuativo nella promozione delle attività musicali, spesso attraverso il contributo delle cappelle di musica. Eppure, nella Palermo di Cinque e Seicento, gli organici musicali operanti nelle istituzioni ecclesiastiche assumevano forme fluide e non codificate. Nonostante ciò, numerose fonti alludono alla presenza di corpi…
Historia urbana y mezzogiorno de Italia en la Edad Moderna: propuesta de un cuestionario
1998
The history of urbanization has barely been analyzed for the Mezzogiorno in Italy. This has partly been due to the persistence of stereotypes in Italian historiography, and partly due to the current definition of city functions. The article results from a meeting of specialists in Early Modern southern Italian history organized to undertake the rigorous and detailed study of the common features and the differences within the urban systems of the Mezzogiorno, in order to synthesize the specific character of urbanization in southern Italy over the long term. The author outlines the main areas under study and establishes its methodological foundations and first hypotheses.
Loss of life expectancy from air pollution compared to other risk factors: a worldwide perspective
2020
Abstract Aims Long-term exposure of humans to air pollution enhances the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. A novel Global Exposure Mortality Model (GEMM) has been derived from many cohort studies, providing much-improved coverage of the exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). We applied the GEMM to assess excess mortality attributable to ambient air pollution on a global scale and compare to other risk factors. Methods and results We used a data-informed atmospheric model to calculate worldwide exposure to PM2.5 and ozone pollution, which was combined with the GEMM to estimate disease-specific excess mortality and loss of life expectancy (LLE) in 2015. Using this model, …
Repubblica e umanesimo in Italia nel XV secolo. Una introduzione
2022
The article introduces the three essays that make up the monographic section of this issue, Republic and Humanism in Italy in the Fifteenth Century. They examine, in an innovative way, the problem of the relationship between humanism and political cultures in three different contexts: the towns of the Veneto, the communities of Friuli (all under Venetian rule: the former studied by Clémence Revest, the latter by Lorenzo Freschi), the Kingdom of Naples and, in particular, its great capital (Monica Santangelo). Despite the obvious peculiarities of each of these realities, these contributions share an attempt to rethink the Italian political space and the categories with which it has long been…
Creative Tourism. Connecting Fontanelle Cemetery to a Larger Touristic Route
2021
The case study of this paper concerned the Fontanelle cemetery, an underground site with a long and peculiar history shaped by its origin, use and function as well as from its location, Rione Sanità. This area is a popular neighbourhood of Naples with original characteristics and challenges that we tried to learn, understand, and approach. The task of this work was to develop a strategy to connect the site to a larger touristic route through the implementation of Creative Tourism approaches.
