Los combates por la fe y el nacimiento de Europa: El ejemplo español del siglo xv al xvii
2019
Este artículo analiza el efecto que la coexistencia del cristianismo, el judaísmo y el islam ha tenido para la configuración de Europa. El trabajo parte de la España del siglo xv, donde esa convivencia es más evidente, para ilustrar cómo las apologías confesionales solían acabar en la conclusión de que la religión del otro era irracional, resultando, pues, imposible construir una identidad europea sin la aniquilación del otro. Conscientes de ello, humanistas como J. L. Vives prefirieron centrar el acercamiento al otro en lo epistemológico y en lo moral más que en lo dogmático. Ese sería el punto de partida para una Europa como la testimoniada en el Quijote, en la que las racionalidades enfr…
The Eloquence of Publius Sulpicius Rufus and Gaius Aurelius Cotta in Cicero's Brutus
2018
The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the personalities of Publius Sulpicius Rufus and Gaius Aurelius Cotta, that illustrate the Roman eloquence at the beginning of the first century BC with particular regard to the wide section of the Ciceronian Brutus, the treatise in which they are protagonists of an intense confrontation in order to reflect on different styles of eloquence. On the other hand, a survey on the characteristics of their eloquence, conducted in the absence of direct evidence that provides objective feedback about their oratorical qualities, also makes possible to analyse the importance (and in some cases the indispensability) of Cicero’s opinion.

Templi, case ed eloquenza. Alcuni appunti sull'impiego di metafore architettoniche tra Cicerone e Tacito
2016
This paper is focused on the presence of some metaphorical images, in Cicero’s and Tacitus’s rhetorical texts, taken mainly from the architectural language. Such presence, usually into a wider allegorical imagery that includes images related to the home and to the temple, becomes constant in the Roman rhetorical treatises. On the other hand, when these images emerge frequently in the Aper’s speech in the dialogus de oratoribus, we may notice that they show a radical change in the eloquence, in its function and in its social perception.
Nostalgia, rimpianto e memoria nell’ultimo Cicerone: una lettura del Brutus
2022
This paper aims at pointing out the lexical and metaphorical representations of desiderium in Cicero’s Brutus. The Modern criticism of nostalgia in ancient Rome concern love and exile elegy, while this paper deals with the emotional process in Cicero’s work: it starts with a phase of perception, represented by the absence ensuing from Hortensius’ death, resulting in two different outcomes. The first one is the affect-laden response, the dolor, seen as a reaction of the whole of community, since Hortensius represents here the “voice of oratory”, lost as a consequence of Caesar’s autocracy; the other one is the intellectual response, the use of private and public memory, a reference to the pa…
