Trame di donne all’indomani della peste romana del 1656
2020
Nel gennaio 1659 viene scoperta a Roma una rete di donne che produce, smercia e somministra veleno per sopprimere mariti. La rete è estesa, il numero delle vittime sembra ingente, la trama è in atto da almeno cinque anni e si è giovata del regime di eccezione prodotto dalla pestilenza che ha colpito la città (1656-1657). Il contributo intende esaminare il tema proposto dal punto di vista della storia delle donne: gli aspetti metodologici; un caso di studio che può inscriversi nella prospettiva di «all’indomani di»; gli effetti che il caso di studio scelto stesso ha ponendosi a sua volta come punto di svolta. Women’s plots in the aftermath of the Roman plague of 1656. The “Acqua tofana” stor…

What Does Nemesis Have to Do with the Legal System? Discussing Aristotle’s Neglected Emotion and Its Relevance for Law and Politics
2018
Abstract Aristotle defines nemesis (to nemesan ¼ from the verb nemesao) as the emotional reaction of someone with a noble character at unmerited good fortune. That another’s good fortune is a central element of nemesis can also be inferred by the contraposition Aristotle proposed between nemesis and pity, which is pain at undeserved bad fortune. The modern concept of indignation, commonly used as a translation for the word nemesis, refers to outrage at a general form of injustice, and usually a serious one. The authors intend to remain faithful to the original meaning of the term and to explore the impact it can have with respect to law. In contrast to the existing literature, which especia…

2011
An essay on the role of human rights as legitimacy criterion and parameter of global justice.
Vulnerability, Human Rights and Climate Change
2021
The article aims at establishing the specificity of the human rights approach to environmental issues such as the climate change, in order to test its advantages and limits. While responsibilities in the side of climate change is controversial, the approach from human rights and in particular from their vulnerability is easier to focus and define and it involves also the problem of inequalities produced by the degradation of environment. In addition, the human rights approach is dynamic (open to specification and to proceses of implementation) and it is compatible with an intergenerational perspective.
Giustizia sovranazionale e migrazioni: disvelando le ambiguità dell’Europa dei diritti, a partire da una critica a Il diritto dei popoli di John Ralws
2022
This paper questions the basis of the power of States to regulate immigration on their territory, by highlighting the contradictions, hypocrisies and omissions that mark both the institutional management of immigration and some theories, such as the one outlined in John Rawls' The Law of Peoples, that this management legitimize more or less directly. The perpetration of injustice on the international arena and the violations of law and rights that derive from it are therefore underlined, taking for example the hypocrisies connected with the application of international refugee law, also in light of the recent terrible evolutions to which the Ukrainian crisis has led.

Marx: un mondo senza giustizia ma egualmente buono
2020
The subject of this essay is the problem of justice in Marx’s theory. According to the author, Marx bases analysis and criticism of capitalism, and its political economy, on descriptive statements that completely ignore assumptions reducible to a parameter of justice. Furthermore, the type of society that Marx imagines as a communist is also based on the idea of an individual emancipation with respect to which his being just is a secondary element.
Giustizia o umanità? Come e perché le società sviluppate devono rispondere al problema migratorio
2021
The contribution aims to answer the questions indicated in the title in the context of the debate on the theories of justice. It is argued that the theoretical core of the pro- blem concerns the opposition between justice and humanity. According to the theories of domestic justice, it is possible to speak of justice in domestic contexts, while beyond the borders the relevant principle is the less demanding principle of humanity. But the opposition appears controversial both from the point of view of the political community (where there seems to be a need for elements dating back to the sense of humanity), and from the point of view of the international dimension (where the principle of huma…
Per una filosofia del diritto positivo alternativa al giuspositivismo
2022
The article discusses Francesco Viola’s new book, considered as a philosophy of positive law alternative to legal positivism. The starting point is the classification of his approach as characterized by the thesis of an interpretive connection of law and morals, evident in his itinerary through the three revivals of Natural law in the last century. This kind of connection – possibly shared both by many Natural theories and positivistic positions – leads coherently to the thesis of the conceptual connection, in which justice plays an important role in the con- cept of law. Finally, it is proposed a comment on his important distinction of epistemological, ontological and ideal approaches to t…
