St. Gregory's Church Agrigento, Italy
2014
The finished work presents a beautiful composition. Volumetrically it is a very simple pian for the interior, very sensitively done, clean end elegant, beautiful. The integration of art and architecture is seamless, and one should travel out of their way to see it. This is a destination place, a church as a pilgrimage.
Religious confession privilege in Italy
2021
In Italy, the secrecy of confession practised in some religious denominations and especially in the [Roman] Catholic Church, is widely recognised. Indeed, it is so widely recognised that it is not perceived as a particular concession to religion, even less as a privilege, but rather as a to religious freedom guaranteed by art 19 of the Constitution of the Italian (‘Italian Constitution’ or ‘Constitution’) which is a subjective and public right since it can be enforced against the state. In other words, this protection of religious belief and action in the Italian Constitution denies that the state may limit religious confession and the secrecy of that confession by law or administrative act…
Sulla rilevanza giuridica e costituzionale dell’identità religiosa
2015
The essay reviews the issue of the legal relevance of religious identity, and of its possible scope, from the standpoint of the values that underpin contemporary constitutional States (equality, liberty, dignity, secularism). The essay will try to show that, in the light of the aforementioned values, religious identity has in fact legal and constitutional relevance. This does not imply, however, that legal claims based on religious identity should receive absolute legal protection - rather, they are bound to be consistently balanced against other constitutionally relevant rights and interests.
Iconografie religiose fenicie nelle emissioni di Melite (Malta)
2005
Unlike the Punic issues of Sicily, in which the Phoenician religious iconography plays only a marginal role, on the coins of the III-II century BC. J. C. of Melite, this theme is very present. The permanence of these themes in the monetary issues of peripheral and marginal areas, such as Melite, can be explained as a desire to preserve a cultural heritage and the relative religious identity, which resisted the political conquest of Rome (218 BC)
Il tarantismo in Sicilia
2017
Il testo prende in esame il complesso di materiali editi e inediti (fonti storiche e archivistiche, documenti musicali, testimonianze etnografiche) che attestano la presenza del tarantismo in Sicilia dalla metà del Seicento alla fine dell’Ottocento. Il caso siciliano viene quindi inquadrato nell’ambito dell’ampia letteratura che ruota intorno al fenomeno, a partire dal classico studio di Ernesto De Martino fino al dibattito sull’interpretazione del fenomeno fra i poli dell’esorcismo e della possessione, dovuto soprattutto all’etnomusicologo francese Gilber Rouget. L’analisi viene quindi estesa alla tradizione dei guaritori dei morsi di serpenti (i ciaràuli), che con il tarantismo condividon…
Widerspruch als konstitutives Element der Wissensvermittlung in literarischen Texten des späten 16. Jahrhunderts
2019
In the second half of the sixteenth century, the transfer of knowledge is a con- flict situation: on the one hand, there is a generalised thirst for knowledge but, on the other, a fear of the circulation of new ideas on the part of both the secular and religious authorities. This was especially the case with regard to informa- tion related to the areas of medicine, astronomy, and alchemy-magic which was banned or censored. This paper argues that many authors relied on a Poetics of Contradiction in order to be able to transmit this information. Despite appa- rently opposing statements or thanks to their apparent opposition, they trans- mitted a meaningful message and allowed attentive, eliti…
Spettacoli e feste popolari in Sicilia
2021
Lo spettacolo teatrale tradizionale è il luogo e il tempo in cui ci si ritrova insieme per assistere a una narrazione, all’esposizione e alla riconferma di principi e valori condivisi. Occasione dunque solo esteriormente profana, poiché la storia civica, la leggenda, il fatto storico detengono sempre un valore sacrale declinando quell’etica collettiva che nella religione trova fondamento e legittimazione. A sua volta, la “festa”, in primo luogo festa religiosa, occasione elettiva di riunione tra gli uomini con le proprie Madonne, i propri Cristi e i propri Santi, con i numi tutelari della comunità e garanti della sua continuità nel tempo, momento di culto e di fede intimamente vissuta, …
"Memorie dal sottosuolo". Una prospettiva di indagine sul simbolismo rituale delle feste religiose "tradizionali"
2017
In 1945, writing about the procession of Our Lady of Viggiano, Carlo Levi presents us a peasant world characterized by archaic beliefs and ritual practices, another world « where seasons run on peasant fatigue, [...] like three thousand years before Christ », a world « veiled with black veils, fiery and earthly [...] which you do not enter without a key of magic ». If that other world of the peasants seems to have come to an end today, the beliefs, practices and ritual symbols of reputed “pre-Christian” precedence or in any case alien to the official liturgy, as witnessed by Levi and many other narrators and demoanthropologists from the 19th and 20th century are not, however, definitively l…
Pani cerimoniali e tavole rituali in Sicilia
2019
Il pane di frumento è stato per secoli elemento costitutivo e qualificante delle mense aristocratiche e contadine della Sicilia. Esito concreto di un ciclo stagionale di lavoro, il pane è stato considerato, il cibo per eccellenza, cibo sacro. I gesti che ne precedevano e accompagnavano la preparazione e il consumo erano ritualizzati e pregni di significati trascendenti il puro atto della nutrizione. Stante il fortissimo valore simbolico da esso detenuto non sorprende che offerte e consumi collettivi di pane siano tutt’oggi attestati in numerosissime feste religiose. I pani preparati in queste occasioni non sono quelli di tutti i giorni. Essi presentano peculiari morfologie e vengono prepara…
Mass Media And Religious Practices In The Immigrant Situation: A Challenging Developmental Psychology Encountered By The Sri Lankan Tamil Adolescents…
2015
Mass Media and Religious Practices in the immigrant situation is a challenging Developmental Psychology, encountered by the Sri Lankan Tamil Adolescents living in Palermo, South Italy. Adolescents in the modern world face a lot of challenges in the process of their growth. One of such challenges is that of the social impact of Mass Media, which manipulates and determines the individual’s decisive moments of growth. They are left with no choice but confront Mass media and personal choice of religious attitudes, and religious practices, (Cohen 2010; Kukreja 2010). The attitudes and belief-systems are built and sustained by the social structure. (Cooper and Denner 1998). In this article we adm…
