Travel and Disease in Thomas Mann’s "Death in Venice"
2019
Thomas Mann’s novella, Death in Venice (Der Tod in Venedig, 1912), presents a story of an artist, Gustav von Aschenbach, suffering from the writer’s block who travels to Venice to look for inspiration and where he eventually finds his death. In the meantime, he suffers from depression strengthened by feats of febrile listlessness, pressure in the temples, heaviness of the eyelids that make discontent befall him. The putrid smell of the lagoon hastens his departure, but a strange coincidence makes him change his mind. He returns to the hotel drawn by the enthrallment for the young lad, Tadzio, he had spotted there. Wandering through the streets of Venice, he ignores the health notices in the…
In partenza verso il majhul. Italiani ed egiziani in fuga per Alessandria d'Egitto
2019
This article analyzes two novels set in Alexandria. The first one is "Cortile a Cleopatra" by the Italian writer Fausta Cialente. The second one is "Nobody sleeps in Alexandria" (Lâ ahad yanâm fî'l-Iskandariyya) by Ibrahim Abdel Meguid. The analysis focus on actions that characterize the genre of travel literature in which the traveler is expected to perform two actions: leaving then returning. If the traveler does not come back to the starting point, his experience is not considered as "travel", rather as "change of residence". But it does not always work out that way.

Alvar Aalto: if a ferocious lion jumpedin a window?
2016
“Alvar Aalto: Se un leone inferocito saltasse dentro una finestra?”. Il titolo di questo articolo è una semplice domanda che che sorprende perché porta a cambiare il vostro punto di vista. Questa frase è presa in prestito da Alvar Aalto, perché al suo interno esprime un caso sconvolgente. Ci porta come un “viaggio” che comprende insieme uomini e animali in movimento. Per coloro che hanno la capacità di vedere ciò che ci circonda può essere una fonte di apprendimento, un fattore essenziale da considerare in progetti architettonici. A sostegno di questa teoria sono studiati alcuni schizzi di viaggio dello stesso Aalto, che per certi versi ha caratteristiche simili alle domande dei suoi raccon…
