Tommaso Campailla: Materia dei sogni e ipocondria di un eclettico
2007
Born on 7th April 1668 in Modica, Ciceronian 'Agrum Motucanum', the Modican county of Chiaramontes and Chiabreras, Tommaso Campailla, a poet and a physician, is mostly known as the author of a philosophical poem in octaves--Adam or the Created World. In his 1727 Problemi naturali [Natural Problems], his essay Del disordinato discorso dell'uomo [On Man's Disorderly Discourse] distinguishes itself by its intellectual wit on both the speculative and the experimental research aspects. He formulates concepts on the darkness which often reason has to fare through; he substantializes the body/soul syncretic dimension, and underlines how this disrupts the perfect bodily mechanism. His observations …
Alle origini dei Duchi di Villarosa: Francesco Notarbartolo (1630-1704)
2011
L’ascesa economica del ramo della famiglia Notarbartolo che conseguirà il titolo di duchi di Villarosa si caratterizza per la rapidità e l’incisività d’azione del capostipite: Francesco Notarbartolo Alvarez d’Eván. Muovendosi con abilità nel quadro del sistema economico siciliano della seconda metà del Seicento, Francesco riuscì in breve tempo a costruire il nucleo del patrimonio fondiario della famiglia: nel volgere di un ventennio, tra gli anni ’70 e gli anni ’90 del XVII secolo, creò un patrimonio di feudi compatto e geograficamente ben definito, che si estendeva tra Castrogiovanni e Santa Caterina. L’operato del Notarbartolo è assimilabile ad altri casi simili, ma si caratterizza anche …
La vocalidad del violín en el norte de Italia en torno a 1600
2021
Throughout the present research I intend to demonstrate the powerful link between the vocal practice in accompanied monody and the way Early Italian violin music ought to be interpreted. Due to the scarce amount of articulation and ornamentation in this music, I consider that historical criteria should be found in order to back up the subjective choices in its performance. According to this, I focus on reviewing sources that describe the vocal practice around 1600, but also contemporary sources in which we can find instructions addressed to bow instruments. Besides, a catalogue of articulations and ornamentations present in early editions of printed violin music is attached. Last, I comment…
Palermo e Messina: residenza viceregia e questione dei Tribunali nel dibattito secentesco
2020
Il saggio sviluppa il tema della rivalità tra Palermo e Messina per il ruolo di capitale del Regno di Sicilia, a partire da una rilettura delle fonti di propaganda prodotte dall’una e dall’altra parte nel corso del Seicento, regnante Filippo IV. Ne emergono nuovi interessanti elementi di riflessione attorno al peso politico del viceré; alla questione dei Tribunali - veri e propri centri di potere, con forti legami con il mondo della finanza e della politica - e all’egemonia del ceto togato; alle caratteristiche proprie della funzione di capitale del regno, alle sue modalità di partecipazione alla Monarchia e di rappresentarsi The essay deals with the theme of the rivalry between Palermo and…

Se trata brevemente del contenido de Format-Büchlein, impreso en Graz entre 1670 y 1677, que trata de los distintos formatos de los libros, aunque incluye otras muchas consideraciones sobre el arte de imprimir; comentando alguna de las ilustraciones de materia tipográfica incluidas en la obra.

Endeudamiento municipal en la región de Lleida a finales del siglo XVII
2018
Este articulo quiere analizar la evolución del endeudamiento de los municipios de la región económica de Lleida a finales del siglo XVII para poner de relieve no solo el enorme peso que este tuvo sobre los municipios catalanes de los siglos modernos, sino también el efecto que causó la expansión económica de los años previos a la guerra de Sucesión sobre esta deuda. Durante los años estudiados hemos podido observar una mejora evidente sobre el nivel de endeudamiento comunal, pero también la persistencia de problemas crónicos en las finanzas municipales. In this paper is analyzed the municipal debt evolution of the Lleida region during the late seventeenth century. It highlights the importan…
¿Revuelta de Masaniello o revolución de Nápoles? Una reinterpretación
2020
Between 7 and 16 July 1647 a popular revolt, led by a young fishmonger, Masaniello, shook the city of Naples. The killing of Masaniello, however, did not lead to the end of the riots. On the contrary, the revolt involved the entire kingdom of Naples, radicalized in an anti-Spanish sense and resulted in the proclamation of the Republic and the call of a French prince, the Duke of Guisa. On these events, and especially on the fracture that permanently opposed people and nobles, historiography has long debated. It is possible, however, today, also on the basis of new archival documents, to propose a different interpretation of the events, which integrates the two moments and allows an updated …
‘Caprice de chaconne’ (1671): Symmetry and proportions in Francesco Corbetta’s work for Baroque guitar
2018
For performers of Early Music, there is an everlasting quest to unveil new perspectives on a historically distant repertoire in search of new ways of performing and understanding the music. This is true for all performers of Early Music, including Baroque guitarists. A currently very popular performance piece is Francesco Corbetta’s ‘Caprice de chaconne’ (1671, ff. 72–73), which is to be found in his 1671 Baroque guitar tablature-collection, La guitarre royalle. Displaying advanced technical performance skills, embroidered connections between temporal coordinates that border between fantasy and order, it serves as an excellent display, not only of the performer’s technical skills, but also …
The Judge in the Seventeenth century: a royal official between legislation, doctrine and case law: the Sicilian case
2013
Like all the others territorial-political systems in Europe, even Siciliy is characterized by the presence of royal Courts of Appeal, institutions that a consolidated – even if outdated – legal-historical tradition brought together under the generic name of “Grandi Corti” (Great Courts) or “Tribunali Supremi “ (Supreme Courts). It is known that the definition of “Grande Tribunale” can be related to the Suprem Court of every state-organization of the Modern Age; a high court composed only by the choicest jurists, personally appointed by the sovereign, with exclusive competence on a number of subjects (above all crimen lesae maiestatis) and competence of appeal on any sentence emitted by lowe…
Carlo Maratti. La Madonna del Rosario e Santi dell’oratorio del SS. Rosario in Santa Cita a Palermo
2021
Il volume approfondisce lo studio sulla tela di Carlo Maratti con la Madonna del Rosario e santi che si trova nell’oratorio del SS. Rosario in S. Zita di Palermo. Nel primo saggio si riepiloga la produzione di Maratti o marattesca presente in Sicilia menzionando gli episodi più significativi e i principali studi di settore. Il secondo contributo prende in esame la committenza della compagnia del SS. Rosario ricostruendo per la prima volta, tramite indagini d’archivio, la consistenza sociale del sodalizio a partire dalla fine del Cinquecento. Il testo, quindi, lega la committenza di singoli personaggi alle varie produzioni storico-artistiche dell’oratorio fino a tutto il XVIII secolo e propo…
