Fluttuazioni commerciali tra Nord Africa e Sicilia meridionale: il VI e il VII secolo. Cignana come caso studio
2021
This essay will examine the trend in imports of African potteries – notably amphorae and fine wares – in a rural zone of southern Sicily. We are dealing with the region of Cignana, not far from the coastline, where archaeological excavations documented a large settlement that experienced a big growth between the 5th and 6th centuries AD. During this period, a shift in the ceramic supply from the Zeugitana towards the Byzacena occurred. Nevertheless, the positive trend in imports persists until the last decades of the 6th century. Thereafter, it shows a decrease until the apparent interruption after the mid-7th century. New changes in the Mediterranean trading system seem to undermine the pr…

Structural analysis of the lipid A isolated from Hafnia alvei 32 and PCM 1192 lipopolysaccharides[S]
2010
Hafnia alvei, a Gram-negative bacterium, is an opportunistic pathogen associated with mixed hospital infections, bacteremia, septicemia, and respiratory diseases. The majority of clinical symptoms of diseases caused by this bacterium have a lipopolysaccharide (LPS, endotoxin)-related origin. The lipid A structure affects the biological activity of endotoxins predominantly. Thus, the structure of H. alvei lipid A was analyzed for the first time. The major form, asymmetrically hexa-acylated lipid A built of beta-D-GlcpN4P-(1-->6)-alpha-D-GlcpN1P substituted with (R)-14:0(3-OH) at N-2 and O-3, 14:0(3-(R)-O-12:0) at N-2', and 14:0(3-(R)-O-14:0) at O-3', was identified by ESI-MS(n) and MALDI-tim…
Host immune response to Cryptosporidium parvum infection
2010
Species of the genus Cryptosporidium are protozoan parasites (Apicomplexa) that cause gastroenteritis in animals and humans. Of these Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis are the major causative agents of human cryptosporidiosis. Whereas infection is self-limiting in the immunocompetent hosts, immunocompromised individuals develop a chronic, life-threatening disease. As specific therapeutic or preventive interventions are not yet available, better understanding of the immune response to the parasite is required. This minireview briefly summarizes the factors involved in the innate and acquired immune response in this pathogen-host interaction with an emphasis on more recent da…
L'INDAGINE IN TUNISIA
2008
Testimonianza ed evasione: stato d'eccezione e creazione performativa. Il teatro contemporaneo tunisino all'epoce dalla "transizione democratica".
2014
La ricerca indaga come si orienta la produzione culturale, in specifico teatrale, in territori osservati durante la condizione di stato d’eccezione. La ricerca vuole analizzare il rapporto tra teatro e stato d’eccezione non nella dimensione della posterità ma della contemporaneità: la relazione che intercorre cioè tra gli avvenimenti storici, politici, sociali, il territorio che ne è testimone e i suoi abitanti, che rispondono di queste condizioni spendendo una competenza artistica. Obiettivo della ricerca è infatti dimostrare che la produzione teatrale nata durante la condizione di stato d’eccezione è caratterizzata dalle due categorie di testimonianza ed evasione. La necessità della testi…

While being an auditor (including Big 4 auditors) does not…
Il teatro romano di Althiburos (El Medeina, El Kef, Tunisia)
2016
Il contributo presenta le attività della missione archeologica dell'Università di Macerata ad Althiburos per lo studio, lo scavo e la valorizzazione del teatro romano della città. Una missione svolta in collaborazione con l'Institut National du Patrimoine de Tunis ed il Politecnico di Bari a partire dal 2006. Le tre campagne di scavo (2007, 2009 e 2010, alle quali va aggiunta una campagna di ricognizione e ricerca di confronti nel 2014, con il cofinanziamento del MAE) hanno permesso di indagare le fasi più recenti della vita dell'edificio e di redigere un primo rilievo del monumento.
