«Non c’è scrittore per quanto mediocre che non aspetti con fiducia il giudizio dei posteri. Più o meno siamo tutti convinti che il tempo ci darà ragione e che un giorno si tornerà a parlare di noi». Per Libero Bigiaretti
No full textIl saggio ripropone all’attenzione di critica e pubblico l’opera di Libero Bigiaretti, autore prolifico del Novecento, a stretto contatto con altri intellettuali e scrittrici che hanno animato il dibattito culturale a partire dagli anni Trenta-Quaranta. La pubblicazione di saggi, articoli, traduzioni, interventi e la promozione di iniziative culturali da parte di istituzioni e associazioni in tempi recenti attestano un rinnovato interesse per l’opera bigiarettiana che si rivela, per certi aspetti, ancora attuale come dimostrano i romanzi "I figli" e "Disamore" per tematiche e modalità narrativ
Discorso per il Nobel per la Letteratura 1929
No full textNel Discorso per il Nobel per la letteratura, tenuto il 10 dicembre 1929 in occasione del conferimento del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, Mann dedica il prestigioso riconoscimento al proprio paese e al proprio popolo “per molti versi incompreso”. In quel momento lo scrittore non può ancora prevedere l’avvento al potere del regime nazionalsocialista di lì a pochi anni e le sue tragiche conseguenze

Shrek: the Anti-Fairy tale that Redefines Gender, Genre, and Cultural Narratives in Contemporary Storytelling
No full textThe Shrek saga represents a major contributor to the reimagining of fairy tales, challenging entrenched norms related to storytelling, aesthetics, and cultural expectations. The purpose of my presentation is to examine how the Shrek movies subvert traditional fairy tale conventions to critique rigid understandings of gender, genre, and societal ideals. Rooted in William Steig’s 1991 picture book Shrek!, a subversive fantasy comedy that eschewed sanitized fairy tale traditions in favor of humor and authenticity, the saga amplifies these principles through its transformative cinematic interpretation. As a matter of fact, the 2001 Dreamworks' movie adaption marked a cultural milestone, embedding its irreverent tone and unconventional protagonist into popular consciousness and redefining the fairy tale as a medium for satire and social critique. Through its satirical approach, Shrek dismantles archetypal portrayals of beauty, heroism, and "happily ever after" narratives, offering an alternative landscape where inclusivity, diversity, and imperfection are celebrated. By recontextualizing tropes—such as the noble hero or
damsel in distress—Shrek not only questions aesthetic and social ideals but also destabilizes traditional gender roles, particularly in its portrayal of unconventional relationships and the empowerment of feminine protagonists. Fiona, for instance, is a complex character whose journey of self-acceptance upends the archetype of the "perfect princess." Therefore this presentation investigates the factors that determine how Shrek has cleverly exploits the classic structure of fairy tales and animation, subverting traditional archetypes demonstrating that true personal worth does not depend on pure appearances. However, in order to fully understand Shrek’s cultural and social values as the first animated movie to win an Oscar, it is essential to contextualize it as the "anti-fairy tale" in contemporary storytelling par excellence. The aim of this study is to argue that Shrek offers, even today, new perspectives on how to convey fundamental values such as empathy, respect and inclusion

No full textEduRag: A Proposal to Use Artificial Intelligence in Education
No full textThis article explores the relationship between artificial intelligence and education, focusing on Large Language Models and the opportunities and challenges these tools present. After analysing the architectures that have enabled their success, such as the Transformer, the issues related to the transparency and reliability of the generated responses are examined, with particular attention to the phenomenon of model "hallucinations." Strategies to mitigate these challenges, such as Chain of Thought and Retrieval-Augmented Generation, are then illustrated, which improve the transparency and reliability of LLMs. The EduRag project represents a practical application of these strategies, demonstrating how AI can be effectively used in the educational field to support learning and promote the use of reliable sources. Finally, possible future scenarios are outlined in which AI will play a central role in education, with increasingly personalized, interactive, and multimodal tools capable of enhancing the educational experience through deeper integration with language, writing, and other forms of human interaction
Maffeo Pantaleoni's comprehensive economic science.
No full textMaffeo Pantaleoni (1857–1924), son of Diomede, a prominent figure in the Italian
Risorgimento, and Isabella Massy Dawson, an Irish noblewoman, studied in France and Germany and graduated from the University of Rome. He began his academic career at the Universities of Camerino and Macerata, before succeeding Angelo Messedaglia in the Roman chair in 1901. From 1900, he served as a deputy in the 21st Italian Legislature for a few years. In 1920, he became Minister of Finance in Fiume and supported the Fascist movement. In 1923, he was appointed Senator of the Kingdom. Over one hundred years have passed since Maffeo Pantaleoni
died in Milan on 29 October 1924.1
Struggles, including fierce controversies, marked Pantaleoni’s multifaceted and restless life, but his passion for economic research always drove him. He did not hesitate to criticise government policies and denounce episodes of political corruption,
such as the Banca Romana scandal (1893). As a sharp and polemical publicist in favour of liberalism, his criticisms were directed primarily against the development
of socialism and parliamentarism.
According to the title of his 1889 manual, Principii di economia pura (Engl. tr. Pure Economics; Pantaleoni, 1898a), a unified yet comprehensive understanding of Pantaleoni’s thought emerges from the interplay between purist and non-purist components in his economic theory. Pure economics is distinguished by its axiomatic-
deductive approach, which yields general and formally structured economic implications. In contrast, impure analysis incorporates hypotheses reflecting social systems’ intricate nature, offering a different perspective.
More profound interpretations of his work remain fragmented despite the availability
of at least some specialised works that are instrumental in reconstructing, quite organically, the economic thought of the Macerata scholar (Baldassarri, 1997; Bellanca and Giocoli, 1998; Bianco, 2014; Bini, 2008, 2012; Michelini, 1998; Mosca, 2015).2 Except for another work highlighting the global approach to economics
(Campagna, 1949), Pantaleoni’s thought has not been analysed as a whole. It has experienced a first significant moment of study thanks to the contributions of the leading economists contemporary with him – some of whom regarded him as a master. This includes numerous articles published in the Giornale degli economisti in March and April 1925 following his death.3 Towards the end of the 1980s, the professionalisation of the history of economic thought in Italy and the subsequent emergence of some academic journals – one specifically dedicated to the history of Italian economic thought – undoubtedly facilitated the appearance of significant
studies concerning this economist. These studies constitute a robust historiography
that is highly valuable in guiding the reader towards an engagement with primary sources.4 Finally, the bibliographical research by Augello and Michelini (1997) brings together some 75 years of studies on Pantaleoni after the economist’s death (1924–1998), and Spalletti (2025) provides an update of the bibliographical research (1999–2024).5
Unlike the authors mentioned in this section, the following does not aim to offer an original interpretation of Pantaleoni’s thought. Instead, it serves as an introduction
to his principal scholarly contributions for those unfamiliar with his work. Given the audience of readers, our goal is to present a systematized overview of his key topics.
The final section explores the international impact of Pantaleoni’s thought, taking
into account how his work has been received and the recent secondary literature addressing the contributions discussed
L'area di Santa Maria a piè di Chienti in età antica
No full textIl contributo tenta di ricostruire il quadro storico-archeologico in età antica nel circoscritto settore della media vallata del Chienti occupato dalla chiesa di Santa Maria a piè di Chienti nel territorio di Montecosaro (MC), vero e proprio palinsesto di una storia lunga più di un millennio. In questa prospettiva il lavoro cerca di riprendere e sintetizzare i risultati di documenti di archivio e studi pregressi, arricchendo di ulteriori spunti le conoscenze dell'area in età romana, tra forme di insediamento e tipologie di produzione, senza escludere un riferimento al fenomeno di reimpiego di materiale architettonico romano nell'edificato storico della chiesa.This paper attempts to reconstruct the historical and archaeological context of the ancient period in the limited area of the middle Chienti valley occupied by the church of Santa Maria a piè di Chienti in the Montecosaro area (MC), a veritable palimpsest of a history spanning more than a millennium. From this perspective, the paper seeks to reconstruct and synthesize the findings of archival documents and previous studies, enriching our knowledge of the area during the Roman period with further insights into settlement forms and production typologies, including reference to the phenomenon of the reuse of Roman architectural materials in the historic church building
