«cose meravigliose in materia d’antichità sacra, che in vero m’hanno fatto stupire»: il santuario di S. Felice a Cimitile nel XVII secolo.
No full textNel XVII secolo la straordinaria concentrazione di pregevoli testimonianze di età paleocristiana nel santuario di S. Felice a Cimitile, presso Nola, suscitò l’attenzione di diversi esponenti del mondo letterario, come attestano, tra l’altro, gli scritti di Luca Holstein e Francesco Barberini. Il luogo suscitava, invece, scarsa impressione sui vescovi di Nola che vi si recavano in occasione delle visite pastorali, per non parlare poi dei parrocchiani che frequentavano la basilica per le funzioni religiose. Una significativa eccezione è rappresentata dalle attività di restauro, valorizzazione e promozione messe in atto dal parroco Carlo Guadagni (1675-88) che, oltre a stampare due volumi dedicati alla storia del complesso basilicale, fece affiggere lungo l’iter devozionale delle epigrafi destinate a incentivare la devozione e illustrare ai fedeli le prerogative del santuario. La lettura incrociata dei risultati degli scavi, delle evidenze monumentali e della documentazione d’archivio permette di ricostruire le trasformazioni che nel corso del Seicento interessarono gli edifici del santuario, grazie anche all’edizione di inedito materiale epigraficoIn the 17th century the extraordinary concentration of valuable testimonies of the early Christian age in the sanctuary of St. Felix at Cimitile, near Nola, aroused the attention of various exponents of the literary world, as attested, among other things, by the writings of Luca Holstein and Francesco Barberini. The place, however, made little impression on the bishops of Nola who went there on the occasion of pastoral visits, not to mention the parishioners who attended the basilica for religious functions. A significant exception is represented by the restoration, valorization and promotion activities carried out by the parish priest Carlo Guadagni (1675-88) who, in addition to printing two volumes dedicated to the history of the basilical complex, had epigraphs intended to encourage devotion and illustrate the prerogatives of the sanctuary to the faithful. The cross-reading of the results of the excavations, the monumental evidence and the archive documentation allows us to reconstruct the transformations that affected the buildings of the sanctuary during the 17th century, thanks to the edition of previously unpublished epigraphic material to
La percezione dell’antico in età barocca
Get PDFNella prima parte dell’intervento, a carattere introduttivo, viene brevemente sottolineata, la distanza di mentalità che si è venuta a creare tra la ricerca archeologica, così come oggi la si intende, e quella sull’Antico in età Barocca. Ovviamente senza sottrarre nulla all’importante ruolo che quest’epoca ha svolto nella continua e appassionata tensione a riappropriarsi del suo passato, che sempre caratterizza l’essere umano pur in forme e modi diversissimi.In the introductory part of the article, the mentality gap that has been reached between archaeological research, as today understood, and that on the Ancient in the Baroque age is briefly underlined. Obviously without taking anything away from the relevant role that this era has played in the continuous and passionate tension to reclaim its past, which always characterizes the human being albeit in very different forms and ways
The Tenses of Historical Consciousness: The Impact of Memory Work Within the Colombian Education Community
No full textThe confrontation with the recent past has been a central component of the Colombian transitional panorama for almost 20 years. Since the Colombian state recognized its duty of remembrance, the National Center for Historical Memory has published more than 100 reports that contribute to an understanding of the causes of the Colombian armed conflict and a recognition of the crimes against humanity that occurred in this context. These reports, however, are known only to a small group of experts. At the same time, the Colombian armed conflict is an experience shared by many and producing a multiplicity of different narratives, so it is unlikely that people lack knowledge about their past or have a stance towards it. In fact, the confrontation with the recent past is a topic that gives rise to bitter disputes. This study addresses the gap that exists between institutional and academic efforts, on the one hand, and collective and individual memories on the other. To gather information on the channels and methods of learning as well as the interpretations given to historical events, we carried out an exploration of historical consciousness of secondary students, understanding school as the place where formal and non-formal channels of knowledge transmission meet. To do this, we applied a digital questionnaire and conducted interviews with students and teachers from different regions of Colombia in order to answer the questions where the knowledge about the past comes from, what are the channels through which people learn about their past and turn it to a meaningful story and what is the overall meaning of the past and, specifically, the meaning of the armed conflict for people. Drawing inspiration from works that blend academic research with graphic storytelling, and driven by the belief that university-generated knowledge should reach broader audiences through engaging formats, we created the comic The Tenses of Historical Consciousness, which accompanies this article. This comic fictionalizes real situations, characters, and spaces to depict aspects of the research process and its findings
Towards the digitalization of EU judicial cooperation: Access to justice to be improved
No full textThe paper discusses the recent European Digital Judicial Cooperation
Regulation and its challenges. The Regulation aims for a “digital by default”
approach but has not yet fully implemented it. It calls for a common EU approach to
improve efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the concrete exercise of the fundamental
right of access to justice. The EU must overcome these challenges and establish a
digital framework for cross-border judicial cooperation. The close correlation
between digitalization and access to justice should also be examined in order to
enable citizens and businesses to effectively exercise their rights in the European
judicial area. It is also essential to analyse the relevant provisions of the new
Regulation on the digitalisation of judicial cooperation to highlight its development
and analyse the issues that arise. The main finding is that while the Regulation is a
step in the right direction, it leaves room for further differentiation of access to justice
between Member States. Therefore, additional improvements are desirable for a
prompter implementation. In conclusion, the paper outlines the delicate balance
between the need for simple, harmonised digital tools in judicial cooperation and the
challenges arising from the complexity and diversity of existing systems within
Member States. The Regulation aims to advance digital justice while addressing
potential disparities in technology adoption and legal practices across the EU
Di cera e d’inchiostro. Spunti letterari tra arte e anatomia nel XVII secolo
Get PDFIl contributo si sofferma sul rapporto tra letteratura e tanatologia nell’ambito della letteratura barocca soffermandosi sulle figure di Francesco Redi e del ceroplasta siciliano Giulio Gaetano Zumbo. I due, l’uno celebre archiatra e l’altro artista, frequentano la corte medicea, a Firenze, e sia negli studi dell’uno sia anche nelle raffigurazioni dell’altro la carne in disfacimento si fa ritratto del sentire di un’epoca. Accade nei versi e nelle prose di tanti autori coevi, da Marino a Dotti, così come anche nei dipinti di Liguozzi. Il rapporto tra il corpo reso oggetto di anatomia o comunque scempiato non è però analogo a quello messo in opera dalla Scapigliatura, che a temi simili dedicò numerose pagine, dal momento che l’Ottocento laico e positivista guarda alla materia, mentre il barocco, così come tutti i suoi protagonisti, sono semmai interessati all’azione erosiva del tempo, piuttosto che ai suoi lasciti.The contribution focuses on the relationship between literature and thanatology in the context of Baroque literature by dwelling on the figures of Francesco Redi and the Sicilian ceroplast Giulio Gaetano Zumbo. The two, one a celebrated archiater and the other an artist, attended the Medici court, in Florence. Both in the studies of the one and also in the depictions of the other, the decaying flesh becomes a portrait of the feeling of an era. It happens in the verse and prose of many coeval authors, from Marino to Dotti, as well as in Liguozzi’s paintings. However, the relationship between the body made the object of anatomy or at any rate disemboweled is not analogous to that enacted by the Scapigliatura, who devoted numerous pages to similar themes, since the secular and positivist nineteenth century looks at matter, while the Baroque, as well as all its protagonists, are, if anything, interested in the erosive action of time, rather than in its bequests

Il Feudo dei Gesualdo. Arte e devozione a Fontanarosa nel Seicento. La Madonna del Rosario e Santi: il Trittico della Misericordia
Get PDFUn attento riesame delle fonti e dei documenti relativi al territorio di Fontanarosa e alla famiglia Gesualdo, offre occasione di evidenziare sia la devozione popolare, sia l’ingerenza dei feudatari in tali territori irpini. Partendo dalla chiesa di Santa Maria della Misericordia, la ricostruzione storica ha consentito di sottolineare l’importanza del culto del Rosario che portò alla commissione del Trittico della Misericordia, realizzato da maestranze di ambito napoletano, in aperto dialogo con la produzione della capitale del Viceregno. Con la presenza di Carlo Gesualdo nei feudi avellinesi, i territori periferici sotto il suo diretto controllo, diventano una estensione del centro, attraverso la circolazione di artisti, letterati e musicisti.A careful review of the sources and documents relating to the territory of Fontanarosa and the Gesualdo family offers the opportunity to highlight both the popular devotion and the interference of the feudal lords in these Irpinian territories. Starting from the church of The Virgin of Mercy, the historical reconstruction made it possible to underline the importance of the cult of the Rosary which led to the commission of the Triptych of Mercy, created by Neapolitan workers, in open dialogue with the production of the capital of the Viceroyalty. With the presence of Carlo Gesualdo in the Avellino fiefdoms, the peripheral territories under his direct control, became an extension of the center, through the circulation of artists, writers and musicians
Disamina analitica de L’Amore di Galatea, libretto ‘mitopoietico’ di Salvatore Quasimodo scritto per la musica di Michele Lizzi
Get PDFIl mito di Galatea aveva ispirato Teocrito nell’Idillio XI e altre riscritture seguenti ne hanno via via rigenerato il senso, da Ovidio a Luis de Góngora. In pieno Novecento, il mito in tre atti di Salvatore Quasimodo, L’amore di Galatea (1964), appositamente scritto per la musica di Michele Lizzi (1915-1972), rappresenta un traguardo non poco significativo, dopo le pregresse esperienze librettistiche di Orfeo e Billy Budd. L’incrocio fra il mito di Ulisse e Polifemo con quello dell’amore di Aci per Galatea trovano la loro significazione simbolica nello sfondo suggestivo della Sicilia classica per una nuova ripresa del mito nel pieno di uno scientismo dilagante. Quasimodo umanizzerà, attualizzandola, l’immagine di Polifemo, emblema dell’amore sofferto, mai risolto, ma poi compreso in ritardo, da Galatea. L’opera musicale, germinata su questo lavoro mitopoietico, grazie alla sapiente arte compositiva di Lizzi, il musicista-umanista, nasce dal bisogno di “poggiare l’orecchio sulla propria terra” ed auscultare i suoni del mare che accoglie, suoni liberi e nativi, custoditi dal tempo e dai millenni. La fusione simbolica della Parola quasimodiana con il Suono e il melos greco della scrittura lizziana consentì un risultato finalmente completo e multiprospettico di una leggenda che riaffermava la sua forza vitale, al di là di ogni possibile traduzione ermeneutica, davanti al farsi della scena musicale.The myth of Galatea had inspired Theocritus in Idyll XI and other subsequent rewritings have gradually regenerated its meaning, from Ovid to Luis de Gongora. In the middle of the Twentieth century, the myth in three acts by Salvatore Quasimodo, L’amore di Galatea (1964), specifically written for the music of Michele Lizzi (1915-1972), represents a significant achievement, after the previous librettist experiences of Orfeo and Billy Budd. The intersection between the myth of Ulysses and Polyphemus with that of Acis’ love for Galatea find their symbolic meaning in the evocative background of classical Sicily for a new revival of the myth in the midst of rampant scientism. Quasimodo will humanize, updating it, the image of Polyphemus, emblem of suffered love, never resolved, but then understood late, by Galatea. The musical work germinated on this complex text, thanks to the skilful compositional art of Lizzi, the musician-humanist, was born from the need to “put your ear on your own land” and listen to the sounds of the sea that welcomes you, free and native sounds, preserved by time and millennia. The symbolic fusion of the Quasimodian Word with the Sound and the Greek melos of Lizzi’s writing allowed for a finally complete and multi-perspective result of a legend that reaffirmed its vital force, beyond any possible hermeneutic translation, in the face of the unfolding of the scene
Monogamy. About sex and love in Nick Payne's ‘Wanderlust’ and Penelope Skinner's ‘The Village Bike’
Get PDFIl contributo è inserito nella rubrica Il ParlaggioMonogamy has traditionally been regarded as the dominant relationship model in Western societies and behaviors that emerge as an alternative can often be perceived as divergent and threatening. In contemporary British drama, monogamy and marriage have been represented as fragile institu tions, vulnerable to the pressures of everyday life. This article explores the interplay of these themes in Nick Payne's "Wanderlust" (2010), and Penel ope Skinner's "The Village Bike" (2011) and fo cuses on the fragility of human connections shaped by sex and love. Through a comparative analysis, this article examines how these play wrights reflect the complexities of intimate rela tionships, revealing monogamy as a delicate and contested ideal. The study also addresses the mor alization of desire and the social repercussions of deviating from conventional norms, particularly for women. Furthermore, it delves into how the desire for an emotional connection can turn into sex, exposing the intricate reality of modern rela tionships, where vulnerability, temptation, and in fidelity challenge established boundaries
