Science and Democracy
No full textIn this contribution I consider the relationship between science and democracy exclusively from a normative viewpoint by stressing how values like pluralism, tolerance, respect for facts, impartiality, and openness to criticism are common to both institutions. I then try to answer the following questions. (a) is there a reason that explains this communality of values, considering that the conflicts of interests among people living in democracies are much stronger than those characterizing research groups and that, correspondingly, consensus is much more difficult to reach in democracies? (b) If science and democracy can be characterized as two problem-solving institutions in a pragmatistic sense – where the notion of ‘problem’ here must be intended in the broadest possible sense – how do the decision-making processes in the two institutions differ? (c) Since science and technology are undergoing a continuous process of specialization, how can citizens make autonomous decision in public policies if they must rely almost entirely on the experts’ opinions
Bridging the Gender Gap in the Contemporary Art Market
No full textThe contemporary art market is undergoing a profound transformation, with growing attention directed toward the historical underrepresentation of women artists.
Despite efforts by cultural institutions, collectors and auction houses to foster gender equity, significant disparities persist in terms of visibility, recognition and market valuation.
This study investigates the potential of Transformative Leadership (TL) to chal-lenge traditional market structures and promote greater inclusion. Specifically, it analyzes the case of a gallery founded in Florence in 2019, the first in Europe dedicated exclusively to women artists.
This pilot case serves to explore how TL principles can be practically applied to reshape representation and valuation within the art world. Data were collected through available online documents and other publicly accessible sources.
Through solo exhibitions, participation in major art fairs, strategic collabora-tions with institutions, and the production of exhibition catalogs, the gallery not only increases the visibility of female artists but also contributes to a shift in market dynamics. Its mission-driven identity, symbolized by the hashtag #womeninart, chal-lenges the male-dominated status quo and repositions women’s artistic work within the canon of contemporary art. The gallery’s success offers concrete proof that social justice-oriented initiatives can be both ethically purposeful and commercially viable. By prioritizing equity over traditional profit models, the gallery has become an agent of change, influencing institutional practices, market perceptions and collector behavior.
This paper presents both a theoretical contribution to the field of transformative leadership and a practical blueprint for how leadership grounded in social justice can drive structural change in exclusive sectors like the art market

No full textIl contributo è dedicato alla sosta nella Tuscia di Petrarca nel 1337, presso Orso dell’Anguillara, e alla figura di quest’ultimo, con particolare attenzione al suo ruolo di destinatario di componimenti e alla sua corte come luogo di produzione
di poesia volgare. La recente ricomparsa di altre poesie trecentesche indirizzate a
Orso contribuisce a rinsaldare l’ipotesi di un contesto culturale in cui viva dovette essere la necessità di produrre componimenti (non solo amorosi), la cui frequenza, compattezza e unitarietà d’ambiente permette di ricondurre le origini del Petrarca lirico a un contesto di fazione e a un discorso convintamente propagandistico.This article focuses on Petrarch's stay in Tuscia in 1337, at Orso dell'Anguillara, and on the latter's figure, with particular attention to his role as a recipient of poems and to his court as a locus of production of vernacular poetry. The recent reappearance of other fourteenth-century poems addressed to Orso contributes to the hypothesis of a cultural context in which there must have been a pressing need to produce poems (not only love poems). The frequency, consistency, and unity of these poems allow us to trace the origins of Petrarch's lyrical work to a faction context and a staunchly propagandistic discourse
