« Condamnés à mort » : les mots français de Walter Pater
2013
Cet article traite de l’utilisation des mots, expressions et citations françaises dans The Renaissance de Walter Pater (1873). L’usage érudit des langues étrangères par Pater se rattache à la stylistique décadente, mais sa précision et les effets d’éclaircissement et de masquage de sources ou de thèmes qu’il en tire sont propres à l’auteur. Si les mots expriment l’altérité de toute langue et le processus de traduction qu’implique l’utilisation de la langue selon lui, les mots français de ce texte désignent plus particulièrement l’altérité de la mort. This article focuses on the use of French words, expressions and citations in Walter Pater’s The Renaissance (1873), be they translated or not…
La portada de la iglesia de las Escuelas Pías de Gandía. Su proceso constructivo y modulación arquitectónico-musical
2020
The facade of the church of the Pious Schools of Gandia has not attracted the attention of researchers. However, its conception has a great architectural culture and constitutes an essential work to understand its context, fundamentally, that of the theoretical treatises of the Renaissance. From this study it is wanted to value its architecture and that it is considered as an outstanding ingredient to know its period of construction in general and jesuit architecture in particular. For its understanding, its interpretation in the culture of contemporary architecture treaties and, especially, in the architectural-musical theory of Leon Battista Alberti will be necessary..

Between Atoms and Humours. Lucretius' Didactic Poetry as a Model of Integrated and Bifocal Physiology
2012
Lucretius has often been regarded as one of the fathers of modern science, and also in recent years several studies have explored his influence far beyond a merely literary perspective. In this paper I analyse specifically the importance of the poet's 'eclectic' attitude in physiology from the point of view of his 'Fortleben' in early modern thought. I suggest that the typical eclectic combination of physics and biology, atomism and macroscopy, which the 'De rerum natura' shows in its didactic structure both through its images and even more through its conscious scientific reflection, built an attractive basis for attempts in the modern period at harmonising corpuscularian theories and qual…
Monstrous Hybrids in Shakespeare’s King Lear
2017
ABSTRACT: This article seeks to present the different languages (emblems, Renaissance translations of classical myths, biblical exegesis) that inform the images of monsters which, as hybrid creatures blending human and animal characteristics, serve a dramatic function in Shakespeare’s King Lear . It means to question the ways in which the play links filial ingratitude with female monstrosity and Lear’s madness. Tracing the classical and medieval lineage of the monstrous bestiary (serpent, tiger, vulture) in King Lear and connecting it to emblematic readings of Shakespeare’s time, it explores how Shakespeare provides a dynamic characterisation of Goneril and Regan through their bestialisatio…

Onko haarniskan sisällä elämää? : postmodernia hahmoanalyysia Orlando Furiososta
2012
Tutkimus esittelee Ludovico Arioston Suomessa vähän tunnetun renessanssirunoelman Orlando Furioson, ja keskittyy Orlandon hahmon sisäisen elämän havainnointiin. Taustalla vaikuttaa Aleid Fokkeman postmoderni hahmoanalyysi, jossa kuuden eri koodin avulla voidaan löytää hahmosta laajempia ulottuvuuksia kuin perinteinen jako litteisiin ja pyöreisiin hahmoihin sallii. Lisäksi esitellään suurpiirteisesti aiempaa kansainvälistä Ariosto-tutkimusta ja kritiikkiä. Lainaukset Arioston teoksesta esitetään sekä alkuperäiskielellä että tekijän suomentamina. The study introduces Orlando Furioso, which is in Finland quite unfamiliar Renaissance poem by Ludovico Ariosto, and focuses on observation of the i…
Graphic proposal for the great hall of the Palace of the Counts of Oliva
2021
[EN] The now-demolished Palace of the Counts of Oliva, in the province of Valencia (Spain), was an outstanding example of late Gothic and early Renaissance architecture and art. Its great hall was particularly impressive, with rich, complex decoration that constituted a cultural milestone linked recently to the ‘Germanías’, or Brotherhoods. Through research conducted in image and document collections, a graphic reproduction of the room has been produced, with special emphasis on its frieze. The procedures and techniques used in this process are examined here, before a final contemplation of the possible uses for these results.
Giovanni Paternò Arcivescovo di Palermo (1489-1511): un committente tra gotico e rinascimento
2022
Membro di una famiglia aristocratica siciliana e appartenente all’ordine benedettino, Giovanni Paternò ottenne la nomina ad arcivescovo di Palermo nel luglio del 1489, dopo una lunga permanenza alla guida della diocesi maltese. “Dottissimo” secondo il canonico Antonino Mongitore, che ne offre un sintetico profilo biografico, si interessò anche di questioni architettoniche, mostrando preferenze che spaziano dalle soluzioni più aggiornate del tardogotico mediterraneo e del mondo della costruzione in pietra da taglio, al linguaggio all’antica veicolato dagli scultori del marmo bianco (marmorari). Il contributo mette a fuoco la figura di questo committente e il contesto culturale nel quale si s…
Orgoglio poetico e lode della patria nelle epistole di Girolamo Muzio al nipote Maurizio
2020
L’Egida, poema in endecasillabi sciolti composto da Girolamo Muzio fra il 1570 e il 1572 e pervenutoci incompleto, celebra le antiche vicende della terra d’Istria e, in particolare, della città di Capodistria (anticamente denominata Egida). Muzio difende il suo poema in alcune lettere indirizzate al nipote Maurizio nel 1575, nelle quali controbatte punto per punto le riserve sul poema formulate dai letterati di Capodistria. Quest’intervento si propone di rileggere tali epistole di Muzio, con lo scopo di evidenziare, in esse, l’orgoglio poetico professato chiaramente dallo scrittore e il suo attaccamento alla terra d’elezione, da lui sempre lodata ed esaltata. Queste epistole, inoltre, sono …
