In the fourteenth century Preziosa Abbate, widow of Garsiolo de Yvar from Navarre, founded the benedectine convent of S. Maria delle Vergini, in the Cassaro quarter.

Dal profano al sacro: oreficerie e abiti nella Sicilia tardo-medievale
2019
Nell’Europa tardo medioevale le leggi suntuarie disciplinarono l’uso di abiti e gioielli e i frati predicatori portarono avanti campagne moralizzatrici contro il lusso, con discorsi nelle piazze e roghi delle vanità. In Sicilia gioielli e abiti lussuosi divennero una forma d’investimento, servivano per costituire le doti, si trasmettevano in eredità e potevano essere impegnati. Modificare gli oggetti profani, simbolo di peccato, in paramenti e arredi sacri fu considerata un’opera meritoria, fondamentale per la salvezza dell’anima. Beni temporali, acquistati a volte con un arricchimento illecito, subivano una metamorfosi che consentiva di conciliare aeterna e temporalia. Nel Trecento nobildo…

Donne per le donne. Il Consiglio nazionale delle donne italiane e l'emigrazione femminile nell'Italia liberale
2023
L’intreccio tra la prospettiva di genere e l’emergere della storia globale ha profondamente, e proficuamente, segnato il panorama storiografico degli ultimi anni. Tale prospettiva si è rivelata feconda anche per gli studi sulla storia dell’associazionismo femminile a cavallo tra Ottocento e Novecento, laddove ha soprattutto messo in luce la centralità della dimensione transnazionale nella circolazione di idee e progetti, nella costruzione di una “rete articolata di circoli e associazioni” tra l’Italia, l’Europa e, specialmente, nello spazio transatlantico. Analogamente, l’intersezione tra sguardo di genere e prospettiva globale ha contribuito ad allargare finalmente, anche nella storia nazi…

Movimento femminile e democrazia in Sicilia: la Consulta regionale femminile del 1977
2021
This chapter aims to reconstruct the history of the political mobilization of Italian women. It focuses on the movement that from the early Seventies involved women active in Sicilian women's associations, political parties, and trade unions and, with them, militants who did not belong to any organization. In particular, the essay analyses the role played by the Italian Communist Party in introducing Italian women to the political arena of democratic Italy. In Sicily, one of the results of this mass mobilization and political participation was the political institutionalization into the Sicilian Regional Women's Council, established on 7 May 1977 with regional law number 272. In this contex…
