Lo studio Basile. Crocevia di arti e mestieri.
2013
C’è una continuità nell’attività dello studio professionale dei Basile. Non è solo un fatto di appartenenza familiare o di affinità professionale tra i protagonisti di questa storia, di generazione in generazione. È una questione di oggetti e luoghi, di memoria tramandata negli spazi privati e riattualizzata negli spazi della città, fino ai nostri giorni. La dimensione di uno studio di architettura, per quanto ci possano essere dei sodalizi con la committenza privata – naturalmente, in questa vicenda l’associazione più immediata è quella con il nome dei Florio – tende a configurarsi comunque come elemento di connessione con “la cosa pubblica”, le municipalità in prima istanza (figg. 1-3). È…

Tra decorazione e grafica. Il corpus di Ugo Zovetti nel Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe della Fondazione Giorgio Cini
2020
Il contributo è dedicato a Ugo Zovetti (Curzola, 1879 - Milano, 1974), figura poliedrica di grande interesse che ha attraversato con originalità le arti del XX secolo distinguendosi tra i protagonisti della decorazione del libro come autore di pregevoli carte decorate. Ugo Zovetti fu un esponente della Secessione Viennese che ebbe larga parte nella diffusione del gusto secessionista e della Wiener Werkstätte in Italia, dove si affermò nel campo della decorazione durante gli anni dedicati all’insegnamento nella sede dell’ISIA di Monza. Nella prospettiva di una lettura della sua produzione tra grafica e decorazione, viene per la prima volta preso in esame e pubblicato l’inedito corpus di sue …
NEITHER AUTHORIZED NOR PROHIBITED? SECESSION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AFTER KOSOVO, SOUTH OSSETIA AND ABKHAZIA
2008
The flexibility mechanisms introduced by the Kyoto Protocol on climate change promote the realization of climate change related investment projects which aim to contribute both to the fight against climate change as well as to foster sustainable development patterns in host countries. At first glance, the flexibility mechanisms seem to represent paradigmatic examples of green economy instruments which have numerous potential benefits. However, the implementation of such mechanisms may give rise to some negative environmental externalities which have the consequence of creating a new type of investment versus environment conflict, characterized by a new form of conflict with an internal envi…
A normative ‘due process’ in the creation of States through secession
2006
The choice and/or the balancing between effectivess and legality in the creation of States is, today, one of the most hotly debated issues in the international legal scholarship. Should a state-like entity formed in breach of the peremptory norm prohibiting the use of force or of the principle of self-determination (not) be considered as a State for the purposes of international law? The answer differs according to what theoretical premises are adopted. For those who believe that the State is a social person, and its creation basically a historical occurrence, the law cannot cancel its very existence. On the other hand, if State-creation is also a matter of law, one might agree that “[a]n a…

A “Principle-Based” Approach to Intervention by Invitation in Civil Wars
2019
This contribution challenges the idea of the existence of a one-size-fits-all rule that always prohibits or permits outside forcible intervention upon the request of a government engaged in a civil war. Civil wars are complex situations. It seems quite unrealistic to make abstractions of the “topography” of the conflict between the legal principles concretely at stake in each case. Indeed, if self-determination is the main rationale behind the thesis of strict-abstentionism, an important question to ask is whether self-determination always represents an obstacle to external intervention in civil wars to support the established government. Furthermore, the principle of negative equality is s…
State Sovereignty: Balancing Effectiveness and Legality/Legitimacy
2018
This chapter aims to examine one of the most interesting topics in the contemporary internationalist debate, namely the crisis of effectiveness as the ultimate or sufficient criterion for achieving statehood and territorial sovereignty. Since the 1970s the perception that international law can no longer accept social reality as it is but promotes and imposes standards of justice and common values has become increasingly widespread. More recently, the ensuing discussion between realists and legalists emerged as one of the central topics addressed within the framework of the advisory procedure concerning Kosovo’s declaration of independence. By discussing and critically appraising the normati…
