La fortificación del Reino de Valencia en la década de1640 a la luz de la revolución militar
2019
This article proposes a study of the traditions in defensive architecture that concurred in the projects designed by Spanish military engineers for the fortification of the Valencian frontier in 1648 and 1649, in the context of the War of Catalonia (1640-1652). For this it is essential to follow the route of the Valencian adaptations to the military revolution in the matter of fortifications throughout the sixteenth century and compare them with those brought to Valencia in 1641 by the Marquis of Leganes and his engineers from the school of Milan.
An unexpected representation of burgundian vineyards in the 16th century: the map of “Les Environs de l’estang de Longpendu”
2022
The Environs de l’étang de Longpendu map by Jean Vandamme shows a part of the Burgundy territory, located in the center of Charolais, probably at the end of the sixteenth century. It is representative of a complex corpus and shows, in various ways, a part of the Burgundy vineyards in the North, and Charolais forests and plains in the South. The vineyards shown are partly those occupied by today’s Côte de Beaune, Côte chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Couchois. This is one of the oldest representations of the vineyard in Burgundy, and a precious tool for documenting the dynamics of vineyard expansion from the 16th to the 21st century.
Between Paris and Geneva: Some Remarks on the Approval of the Gallican Confession (May 1559)
2018
Questo articolo analizza l'approvazione della Confessione gallicana durante il cosiddetto primo sinodo nazionale delle Chiese riformate francesi, tenutosi a Parigi nel maggio 1559. Il consenso stabilito è che Calvino abbia avuto un ruolo da protagonista nell'adozione della Confessione da parte dei pastori riuniti a Parigi. Si ritiene che questi ultimi abbiano modificato e promulgato la Confessione gallicana sulla base di una bozza che il primo aveva scritto e inviato al sinodo. Questo documento metterà alla prova l'ipotesi che Calvino non abbia mai inviato alcuna bozza a Parigi per l'approvazione nel maggio 1559 e che un documento parigino del 1557, la lettera-confessione Au Roy, sia stato …
Memoria aragonese/anti-aragonese o confusione nella memoria? Castelli "federiciani" in Sicilia
2020
Partendo dalla constatazione che in Sicilia diversi castelli di dubbia paternità o verosimilmente eretti da Federico III furono attribuiti a Federico II, nonostante alcuni di questi fossero stati nel Cinquecento già ascritti all’aragonese, il saggio si propone di verificare fino a che punto in un campo specifico che è quello dell’architettura fortificata in Sicilia sia stata forte la memoria aragonese o, piuttosto, si possa parlare di “memoria anti-aragonese” e ricostruisce le cause che hanno portato a quella che più propriamente può definirsi “confusione nella memoria”. Starting from the observation that in Sicily several castles of dubious paternity or probably erected by Frederick III we…

‘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 Civil Magistrates of Geneva and the Placement of Pastors in France on the Eve of the First War of Religion (1562)
2017
Abstract This article analyses excerpts from letters sent by French Reformed congregations and politically-engaged Calvinist laymen in 1562. In these dispatches, the churches, lay notables, and local magistrates of Montpellier, Grenoble, Gap, Nîmes, Issoire and Rouen requested pastors to Geneva or thanked the town’s authorities for ministers previously sent there. However, these six letters were not addressed to the Venerable Company of Pastors, but specifically to the syndics and Small Council of Geneva. While the role of the Company in the sending of Geneva-trained pastors to France on the eve of the Wars of Religion is known, the participation of the Republic of Geneva’s political author…
