Crowdfunding in the Cultural Industries
2020
AbstractCultural production has stood at the forefront of crowdfunding adoption representing some of the first crowdfunding campaigns on record. This development emerged as part of comprehensive value chain reconfigurations in the cultural sector, which were triggered by the advent of digitalization on the one hand and the downsizing in public funds on the other. As a result, the emerging phenomenon here labelled as ‘cultural crowdfunding’ (CCF) has captured the imagination of researchers and practitioners. The study of CCF is of high relevance, as it presses creators to strike a balance between the commercial and the non-commercial, the economic and the cultural outcomes, as well as the au…

Political Patronage in a Small Italian Local Government: An Outcome-Based DPM Approach on Fiduciary Practices
Corruption is “the abuse of public office for personal gain” (World Bank, 1997: 8). Although this definition captures a broad notion of corrupt behaviour, many forms of corruption actually occur in small municipalities each reflecting context-specific features and dynamics. Their impacts are rather evident, but their cause-effects relationships are not always clear, so that tangled issues may ineluctably arise without an apparent explanation. As such, a systemic focus is needed in order to gain an insightful understanding of particular configurations of malfeasance at local level in the attempt to hinder them in the future. The aim of this research project is to explore the dynamic relation…
ENABLING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT ANTI-CORRUPTION STRATEGIES THROUGH DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE. A CASE-STUDY OF …
2021
Lo scopo principale di questa ricerca è quello di inquadrare le possibili relazioni causali fra corruzione negli approvvigionamenti pubblici e performance delle amministrazioni locali. A tal fine, viene adottato un disegno di ricerca che integra dinamicamente metodi quantitativi e qualitativi in ogni fase del processo di studio. Gli approcci Dynamic Performance Management (DPM) e Governance (DPG), supportati da interviste approfondite non-strutturate, modellazioni formali e simulazioni quantitative, sono qui adottati per analizzare un caso di studio rappresentativo di un piccolo comune italiano in cui si sono verificati alcuni episodi di corruzione nelle attività di approvvigionamento nei p…
After cyclone Aila : politics of climate change in Sundarbans
2023
This article compares the politics of climate change in the Sundarbans region in Bangladesh and India based on ethnographic fieldwork in four villages and among migrants from these villages in Kolkata and Khulna city by focusing on the long aftermath of cyclone Aila. The comparison highlights different policy options and framings of extreme weather events . Ten years after the cyclone, the aftermath of Aila continues in both regions we studied in Bangladesh and India, but partly for different reasons. In our study areas in Bangladesh, the aftermath of Aila reinforced the neglect of coastal livelihoods, whereas, in the communities we studied in India, Aila spurred new investments in the affe…
Making bishops in the Malta of the knights (1530-1798). An international game of parties, patronage and diplomacy
2011
Charles V’s donation of Malta to the Order of St. John in 1530 also established the procedure for appointment of the bishop of the island, whose episcopal seat since the time of the Norman conquest was subject to royal patronage, and thus to the King of Sicily’s right of presentation: the Grand Master would propose to the Spanish king, through the viceroy of Sicily, a ranking of three candidates, previously approved by the Council of the Order, belonging to the rank of convent chaplain and which contained at least one Sicilian. From that time until the expulsion of the knights from the island after the French occupation (1798), 15 bishops were chosen for the Maltese episcopal see. In these …
Le "vrai portrait" du Grand Comte Roger. De Florence à la Sicile: aux origines d'une équivoque
2006
Partendo da due dipinti pressoché identici del XVII secolo conservati a Patti (ME) e Troina (EN), che raffigurano il ritratto ideale del Gran Conte Ruggero Hauteville, protagonista della liberazione della Sicilia dal dominio islamico, se ne è riconosciuto il modello in un dipinto di Cristofano Allori firmato e datato 1590, oggi agli Uffizi ma proveniente dalla Badia Fiorentina, avente per soggetto il Marchese Ugo di Toscana. Il saggio propone inoltre di riferire le opere siciliane al medesimo pittore e alla comune committenza del vescovo Vincenzo Napoli (+1648). Starting from two almost identical paintings from the 17th century preserved in Patti (ME) and Troina (EN), which depict the ideal…
Iglesia del papa o iglesia del rey? Política y religión en Sicilia bajo el reinado de Carlos II
2021
The author examines the solidity of royal patronage in Sicily and proposes to revise the usual observation of a balance between Sicilians and Spanish in the appointments to bishoprics under Charles II. His thorough examination of these appointments, taking into account the naturalization of foreigners, shows the extent of the monarch’s power over the Sicilian Church. The intangibility of the force of royal patronage in Sicily is comparable, indeed, to that in Spanish America and did not decline under Charles II. Actually, it did not falter until the early Eighteenth century, on the occasion of the War of the Spanish succession L’auteur examine la solidité du patronage royal en Sicile et pro…
Between Private and Public : Corporate art collecting and collaboration with art museums in Finland
2021
In this chapter, I discuss corporate art collections as part of national cultural heritage and semi-public collections. Corporate art is seen through the lenses of collecting, various professions and corporate social responsibility (CSR). I highlight the motives and the meanings of visual art in the context of business and practices of collection development, with the similarities and differences to museums and the museum profession. The essence of corporate art collecting is connected with business objectives, and thus this field of collecting differs in many ways from the objectives of museum collections and ethics. The main motives for corporate art collecting are aesthetics, well-being,…
