We try to demonstrate that the so-called "Epistula Annae ad Senecam" derives from a Jewish environment. Furthermore, an attempt is made to heal some corrupted points in the text.
Philosophical thought of the School of the Sextii
2014
Around the first half century B.C. the first Roman school of philosophy arose, which was called School of Sextii. The known members of the School were: Quintus Sextius the Elder, founding father of the School, Sextius Niger, Quintus' son, who became scholarch of the School after his father's death, Sotion, Papirius Fabianus (both teachers of Seneca the Younger), Crassicius Pasicles, a grammarian, and Celsius Cornelius, an expert doctor. The School followed the footsteps of the Hellenistic schools, and similar to these, the pursuit of happiness was its purpose. The school of the Sextii had taken to heart that part of the philosophy called physical, characterizing itself mainly as a philosoph…

Il padre che dovrei essere, il padre che vorrei. Dalle declamazioni di Seneca Padre alla tragedia senecana
2015
Les déclamations offrent un point de vue très intéressant à travers lequel il est possible d'étudier les mécanismes qui régissent les relations entre pères et fils, entre les positions liées au respect des valeurs traditionnelles et des demandes de changement. D'autre part, même la tragédie de Sénèque offre d'importantes opportunités pour observer cet aspect problématique de la mentalité latine, proposant des cas exceptionnels des pères qui cherchent l'aide de leurs fils pour prouver leur identité, ou des fils à la recherche d’une identité qui essayent de l'atteindre chassant les traces d'un modèle paternel insaisissable et complexe. Ainsi le débat, comme en témoignent les collections décla…
Healing Grief: A Commentary on Seneca's Consolatio ad Marciam
2023
Both our view of Seneca’s philosophical thought and our approach to the ancient consolatory genre have radically changed since the latest commentary on the Consolatio ad Marciam was written in 1981. The aim of this work is to offer a new book-length commentary on the earliest of Seneca’s extant writings, along with a revision of the Latin text and a reassessment of Seneca’s intellectual program, strategies, and context. A crucial document to penetrate Seneca’s discourse on the self in its embryonic stages, the Ad Marciam is here taken seriously as an engaging attempt to direct the persuasive power of literary models and rhetorical devices toward the fundamentally moral project of healing Ma…

Res est forma fugax. Identità e funzione del secondo coro della Phaedra di Seneca
2012
This paper deals with the problematic choral odes of Seneca's Phaedra - where scarce and contradictory clues do not provide firm indications of the composition of the Chorus - focusing in particular on the second Chorus, which reacts to the escape of Hippolytus and the accusations made by the nurse, confirming the innocence of the boy. The article suggests that, as in other Seneca's dramas, as well as in few but significant Greek tragedies, including the Euripidean Hippolytus, the play could have two distinct Choruses: while a first female Chorus (vv. 274-357) enhances the power of love and shares Phaedra's view, a second Chorus, composed of men, in the second choral ode (vv. 737-828) will …
