«Turbando con il contagio dell'eresia la quiete dei popoli vicini»: Giovenale Vegezzi e il Memoriale storico-statistico intorno ai Valdesi (1829)
ItIl seguente contributo si concentra sulla vita e sulle opere di Giovenale Vegezzi Ruscalla, in particolare sul Memoriale storico-statistico intorno ai Valdesi, redatto nell'anno 1829. Il documento, orientato a favorire la politica conservatrice di Carlo Felice, sottolinea strategicamente la magnanimità di Casa Savoia nei rapporti con il popolo valdese. Giovenale, corroborando la sua narrazione tramite il ricorso a fonti cattoliche, accusava le cronache protestanti di riportare dati storici e statistici spesso fuorvianti.EnThe following paper aims to investigate the life and works of Giovenale Vegezzi Ruscalla. Among these is the historical-statistical memoir about the Waldensians written in the year 1829. The document, aimed at favouring Carlo Felice's conservative policy, strategically sublimates the magnanimity of the House of Savoy towards religious dissidents. Juvenal, corroborating his narrative through recourse to Catholic sources, accused Protestant chronicles of reporting historical and statistical data that were often misleading
Strategie dell'allusione in Gregorio di Nissa: Eunomio, la pozione di Circe e la mandragora
ItL'articolo cerca di mettere in evidenza le principali caratteristiche dell'interpretazione del mito di Circe presentata da Gregorio di Nissa, collocandola all'interno della storia ermeneutica del passo omerico e delle altre riprese gregoriane. Il contributo prende in considerazione alcune parole ed espressioni che risultano rivelatrici dell'approccio e della riflessione di Gregorio, che in polemica con Eunomio richiama più o meno velatamente numerosi testi della tradizione classica e tecnica, rendendo la propria opera estremamente evocativa e allusiva.EnThe article attempts to highlight the main features of the interpretation of the myth of Circe presented by Gregory of Nyssa, placing it within the hermeneutic history of the Homeric passage and other Gregorian reinterpretations. The contribution considers some words and expressions that are revealing of the approach and reflection of Gregory, who in polemic with Eunomius recalls, more or less subtly, numerous texts of the classical and technical tradition, making his own work extremely evocative and allusive
“In Italy, we have a saying: make the law and you will find a way to cheat it”. The Regionalized Implementation of Italian Abortion Policies
While abortion debates often center the moral balance between individual autonomy versus state control, the idea of “state control” itself is nuanced. Regional versus national control of abortion policy has been a matter of much debate in recent years, most famously in the US case. In this paper, we explore how regional policies manifest in Italy. Abortion in Italy is characterized by the high level of conscientious objection among medical professionals, though the level varies significantly by region. Italy delegates administration of its health system to the regional level as well. We argue that this has led to different interpretations of the national abortion law and varying levels of abortion access across the country. We reach these conclusions by bringing together two datasets of interviews with doctors and administrators about abortion policy implementation. We conclude by theorizing a direct causal chain between the delegation of this policy to the regional level and the divergent levels of abortion access across Italy
Il principio di lealtà nell'ordinamento sportivo
Within the sports legal order, the principle of loyalty is not merely a moral norm but a genuine legal principle that underpins the validity of the entire system, in line with the Olympic Charter, the European Sports Charter, and other internal sources (CONI and the national sports federations). In the sports sanctions framework, alongside specifically defined offenses, open-ended clauses operate that allow the repression of unfair conduct, that are not foreseeable ex ante; a breach of the duty of loyalty can therefore be actionable on an independent basis, especially when it affects the integrity of competition. While recalling the category of general clauses, the author distinguishes loyalty: it does not refer back to extra-legal standards, because it is considered an internal and structural principle of the sports legal order – while noting that the sports judge's interpretation must remain within the bounds of reasonableness, proportionality, and the duty to give reasons. On the subjective side, the duty binds all persons "in any way relevant" to the federal order; on the objective side, its extension to the extra-sporting sphere remains controversial, at most confined to cases of final criminal convictions for particularly serious offenses. In conclusion, loyalty takes the form of an "open" typicity that remains compatible with procedural safeguards; its centrality is justified by the autonomy of the sports legal order, further reinforced by the recent constitutionalization of sport in the Italian Constitution
Dai boicottaggi statali alle sanzioni istituzionali: l'evoluzione del rapporto tra politica e Olimpiadi
The relationship between politics and the Olympic Games emerges with particular clarity in the phenomenon of boycotts. From the initial debates over the 1936 Berlin Games to the large-scale boycotts of the 1970s and 1980s, states have used Olympic participation as a tool of diplomatic pressure, linking competitions to ideological conflicts, wars, and racial issues. With the end of the Cold War, however, the "classic boycott" has progressively declined, giving way to more nuanced forms of protest: diplomatic boycotts, IOC-imposed suspensions, and the neutralization of athletes, as in recent Russian cases. This transformation reflects the Olympic movement's attempt to preserve universality and neutrality, but it also highlights the continuing politicization of sport in its increasingly global dimension. Analyzing the evolution of the Olympic boycott therefore means understanding how the Olympics remain a privileged vantage point from which to grasp certain features of international tensions
