Women cross borders: economic migration in contemporary Italian and Polish graphic novels
2014
This article provides a comparative analysis of two European graphic novels of the past decade that focus on the theme of female economic migration, namely Sara Colaone’s Ciao ciao bambina (2010) and Agata Wawryniuk’s Rozmowki polsko-angielskie (2012). By exploring these two distinctive immigrant stories, which depict the Italian migration to Switzerland in the 1950s and the contemporary Polish migration to Britain, respectively, this article illustrates the shifting experiences of mobility in Europe across decades. While the Italian narrative presents the stay abroad as a chance to achieve independence and personal fulfilment, the Polish comic views it as a mere financial opportunity. This…
NATURE AND DELIBERATION IN BESSARION'S DE NATURA ET ARTE
2015
AbstractThe present contribution will concentrate on the central issue discussed by Bessarion in one of his major works, the De natura et arte (written in 1458 and published in 1469 as the sixth book of Bessarion’s In calumniatorem Platonis), i. e. the concept of deliberation and the relationship between nature, purposiveness and deliberation. In De natura et arte Bessarion responds to an attack by George of Trebizond, who had demonstrated, against Bessarion, not only that nature does not deliberate, but also that deliberation cannot be attributed to God who guides nature either, since deliberation implies doubt and ignorance. In this contribution I will examine the strategies Bessarion use…
La corte vicereale di Sicilia tra pubblico e privato: dinamiche cortigiane, ruoli, poteri
2021
Il saggio delinea alcuni caratteri della corte del viceré in Sicilia in età asburgica: la sua famiglia, la cerchia dei confidenti, composizione e articolazione dei ruoli istituzionali, costi, forme del coinvolgimento. Ne emerge un contesto articolato, uno scenario in cui si confrontavano poteri di diversa intensità e in competizione sul territorio, si determinavano scontri giurisdizionali, dispute patrimoniali e accordi matrimoniali, liti e vendette private: elementi che evidenziano la complessità del rapporto fra nobiltà periferica e potere centrale, relazioni interpersonali e reti di livello internazionale, pratiche negoziali diffuse, che confermano la rappresentazione di un regno niente …

La iconografía en la era digital: hacia una heurística para el estudio del contenido de las imágenes medievales
2014
Este artículo invita a reflexionar sobre la validez de la iconografía como método para describir los temas representados en las obras artísticas medievales. En esta ocasión, se ha puesto un mayor énfasis en investigar sus implicaciones epistemológicas y los sesgos que resultan del proceso de transformar las imágenes en palabras. El objetivo principal es tratar de que aflore la llamada 'brecha semántica', una especie de barrera que impide representar verbalmente un medio no léxico, como es el visual, de manera satisfactoria y sin mermas. Tras un sucinto recorrido por el pensamiento griego, con un especial interés por la écfrasis, se sugiere que el aparente equilibrio entre las capacidades se…

Les " mausolées " de Salone et de Split
2012
Although abbot Martin is supposed to have collected and brought it all to Rome, as pope John IV had asked him to, the relics of salonitan martyrs are venerated since the Early Middle Ages in Split cathedral, settled in the octagon of Diocletian’s Palace, in the ager of Salona, former capital of Roman Dalmatia. Both main martyrs of the ancient city, first bishop Domnio and Anastasius fullonicus, are the medieval patrons of the cathedral beside Virgin Mary. Anastasius had previously been buried in a private mausoleum on the necropolis of Marusinac - mausoleum which gave birth to a pilgrimage ecclesial complex including a basilica gemina. Having first looked for graves ad sanctos at Manastirin…
Le monastère Saint-Pierre d’Osor (île de Cres) : neuvième campagne d’études archéologiques
2015
During the 2014 campaign exhaustive excavations of the early medieval mausoleum and monastic tombs situated between the mausoleum and the bell tower south of the abbey church of St Peter in Osor were completed. The results of the excavation of the interior of the reduced church revealed several floor levels that are contemporary to the Romanesque basilica, as well as the foundations of the Romanesque chancel screen situated in front of the north apse, and the presence of many burials. Some of them can be identified as privileged tombs, due to their position and their contents. Several floor levels corresponding to the phases anterior to the Romanesque church were also discovered, although i…
Le monastère Saint-Pierre d’Osor (île de Cres) : huitième campagne d’études archéologiques
2014
Two protohistoric Liburnian graves are the most ancient structures discovered in this year’s campaign which was essentially focused on the sector IV, south of the abbey church of Saint Peter in Osor. This area is particularly rich in medieval built tombs of the mo-nastic cemetery that developed next to the church and a mausoleum. The precise datation of this funeral building, which was being used in the 10th century, is still to be determined, but it has been confirmed that its construction preceded the foundation of the monastery, for at least few decades. A great many monks have chosen the mausoleum as their burial site. In the excavations of the first bay of the basilica other tombs were…
