Nuovi spazi liturgici e antica sacralità nel cuore del Mediterraneo

2017

The new St Gregory’s Church, built in Agrigento on the edge of the Temples Valley, is immersed in a landscape of ancient sacredness, where a millennial Sicilian history embrace cultures and religions stratified in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. Contemporary architecture establishes a solid dialogue between faith, liturgy and art, in accordance with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council. Close to the remains of a Cretan village, the new architecture compares with the Doric Temples, which they are an indispensable figurative reference. The spatial articulation and urban references, which see it strongly anchored in the coastal scenery, write transcendental spirituality that introdu…

“SAGOME” IN SICILY: SUBJECTS, FUNCTIONS, TECHNIQUES AND THE CASE STUDY OF NICOSIA

2016

This article analyzes the iconographic subjects, the practical functions and the compositional techniques of a particular form of artistic representation that was popular between the 18th and 19th centuries: these are the painted “sagome” (cut-outs) found in Sicily. Particular attention is paid to a series of six paintings, unknown until now, executed on shaped wooden panels and painted on both sides, which are stored in the library of the Convent of the Capuchin Friars Minor of Nicosia (Enna).

La forza dell’argomento peggiore. La retorica paternalista nell’argomentazione morale e giuridica

2012

In this essay, I shall analyze some arguments advanced for legal paternalism, which are fallacious or rationally insufficient. Some of the worst arguments for legal paternalism. For example, the argument of life’s sacred value, the argument of human dignity or the argument of common good. Why it is important to defend legal antipaternalism against these arguments? Because they are, in spite of their weakness, rhetorically very used in philosophical, ethical, legal, judicial debate. They likely dissimulate other arguments considered less persuasive, like the theological argument or the moral perfectionist argument for legal paternalism

Narrazioni e rappresentazioni del sacro femminile. Atti del convegno internazionale di studi in memoria di Giuseppe Martorana

2021

Con Il riso di Demetra (1985), Giuseppe Martorana, professore ordinario di Storia delle Religioni presso l’Università degli studi di Palermo, esplorava le forme di religiosità al femminile in Sicilia, individuando tracce di continuità e persistenza che dai culti locali anellenici conducevano fino a forme di devozione cristiana. I contributi raccolti in questo volume intendono rendere omaggio alla sua memoria e riprendere criticamente i temi delle sue ricerche, indagando le narrazioni e le modalità di rappresentazione del sacro e del divino che coinvolgono l’elemento femminile, lungo un arco cronologico che dall’età del bronzo giunge all’età contemporanea e attraversa uno spazio geografico c…

Monete e spazi sacri: rinvenimenti monetali dai santuari dell’entroterra siciliano

2016

This paper analyzes the coins finds from the sacred area of the indigenous settlements of the Sicilian hinterland. In particular, these coins have been found in sites called Balate, Polizzello, Raffe, Sabucina and Vassallaggi. As, in most cases, the coins are accompanied by the data of excavation, it is possible to make hypotheses about the function carried out the coins within the sacred spaces. It is well known that the coin finds in sacred areas can not be interpreted only as votive offerings, as are also suitable for other readings that only the examination of the context can decode.

Contatti culturali, identità e popolamento nel territorio imerese

2016

Il lavoro prende in considerazione il problema dei rapporti tra coloni greci e comunità indigene nel territorio di Himera, sulla base dei risultati della prospezione archeologica condotta per tre decenni nelle valli dei fiumi Imera settentrionale, Torto e S. Leonardo. Vengono esaminati gli elementi di cultura materiale che permettono di definire i modi dell'interazione culturale tra coloni e indigeni, nonché di ricostruire i paesaggi politici, socio-economici e il paesaggio del sacro nelle diverse aree indagate e nei diversi comprensori. La ricerca infatti permette di delineare, oltre alle usuali organizzazioni insediative e agricole della chora politiké e della éremos chora, anche articola…

Settore L-ANT/09 - Topografia AnticaSettore L-ANT/07 - Archeologia ClassicaThis work focuses on the problem of cultural contacts between Greek colonists and indigenous communities in the territory of Himera based on the results of the archaeological survey conducted for three decades in the valleys of the northern Imera Torto and S. Leonardo rivers. The elements of material culture that enable us to define the ways of cultural interaction between settlers and indigenous peoples as well as to reconstruct the political socio-economic and sacred landscapes in the various districts investigated are examined. In fact the research allows to outline in addition to the usual settlement and agricultural organizations of chora politiké and éremos chora articulated areas within the territory of Himera and to understand the landmarks of the rural settlement alongside the presence of highland settlements . Therefore the center-periphery approach is abandoned for a more articulated analysis demonstrating different forms of settlement and cultural contact in the three river valleys of the Himera hinterland.
