«Io giungo all’essere e a me stesso». Le prime opere di Francesco Lo Savio, 1957-1959
No full textThe main aim of the article is to explain the beginning of the Roman painter Francesco Lo Savio’s career from 1957 to 1959. This part of his production has long been unknown because it was considered too distant from the mature works. During those years Lo Savio is still tied to his training in Informal Art. Moreover, the work of this period also show influences coming from American art, in particular, from the pictorial research of Mark Rothko. This essay illustrates why these works should be considered an important step, although germinal, in Lo Savio’s painting career. Just by analyzing the origins of his painting, it is possible to understand the next steps of his work. The works at the end of 1958 and early 1959 are, in fact, the start of his artistic path that will result in Space-Light paintings a few months later.The main aim of the article is to explain the beginning of the Roman painter Francesco Lo Savio’s career from 1957 to 1959.

Origini russe del monocromo
No full textTalking about monochrome painting is a complex issue, due to the impossibility of considering it as a pictorial genre with unique characteristics, and due to the difficulty of framing the variety of artists who can be ascribed, in different ways, to this movement. This essay is intended to be a historical-critical reflection on the initial phase of monochrome painting, in order to clarify how the pictorial roots of modern monochrome are to be found in the context of the experiences relating to abstraction in the early 1900s, in particular, in Malevič and Rodčenko. Although this genesis is well-known, highlighting the ambivalences of the beginnings can contribute to enrich our perception of the “tradition of the new” in many of its dualisms.Talking about monochrome painting is a complex issue, due to the impossibility of considering it as a pictorial genre with unique characteristics, and due to the difficulty of framing the variety of artists who can be ascribed, in different ways, to this movement.

Francesco Lo Savio. Colore Luce Spazio
No full textSiamo a Roma, alla fine degli anni '50, quando la scena artistica italiana è in grande fermento. Uno dei protagonisti del dibattito sul rinnovamento delle arti è Francesco Lo Savio, tra le personalità più problematiche dell'avanguardia post-informale italiana. Lo Savio è partecipe della rivoluzione, non solo italiana ma internazionale, di una generazione di giovani artisti che vogliono distaccarsi dalla precedente cultura informale per approdare a un nuovo meccanismo di costruzione dell'opera d'arte, incentrato sulle qualità insite alla pittura stessa
La critica multiforme. Gillo Dorfles sulle pagine di aut aut
No full textNel 1951 il filosofo Enzo Paci fonda la rivista “Aut Aut”. Nonostante la rivista sia rivolta principalmente a studi filosofici, Paci decide di nominare capo redattore il critico d’arte Gillo Dorfles. L’apporto di Dorfles alla rivista è duplice, da un lato articoli su temi diversi: l’estetica, la percezione, l’astrazione; dall’altro l’impegno a recensire le edizioni della Biennale di Venezia. Il contributo analizza la capacità di Dorfles di comprendere, e raccontare, i nodi cruciali del mondo dell’arte attraverso la Biennale per tutti gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta e parallelamente porta alla luce le diverse tematiche di cui il critico si occupa sulle pagine di “Aut Aut”
Peer to Consumer Lending
No full textPeer to consumer lending represents an alternative form of financing characterized, within
the crowdfunding genus, by the collecting of credit offers to be matched with borrowing demand through a digital platform. The essay focuses on legal analysis of some aspects of the
structure and the functioning of lending marketplaces operating in the sector at stake. The
Author argues how this business model – especially when the phenomenon involves consumers and, more generally, non-professionals counterparts – may be critical as regards to the
classical cathegories and concepts ruling the lending/borrowing discourse
La proposta di regolamento MiCA e la disciplina delle pratiche commerciali scorrette
No full textThe most part of European and domestic supervisory authorities have underlined the likelihood
that either the issuing and the negotiation of cryptoassets may be the final outcome of
unfair and deceptive commercial practices. The discipline laid down by the Directive 2005/29/
CE – now expressely recalled by the MiCAR Proposal – seems to be crucial for the best functioning
of the market at stake. The Author stresses how the interplay between «horizontal»
and «vertical» measures needs the interpreters play a pivotal role, in order to grant the best
understanding of the circumstances of the case as well as the best using of the «professional
diligence» general clause
Disciplina generale delle obbligazioni e sovraindebitamento
No full textThe essay compares the law of obligations and the
law of over-indebtedness with the aim of examining whether and to what extent
they interact. To this end, the Author highlights the diversity of assumptions and
effects -which is first and foremost a diversity of perspective-between them and
then clarifies their relationship in terms of alternativity and self-sufficiency. On
these premises, it is argued that despite the reported differences, the over-indebtedness rules are capable of changing the face of the obligation in more than
one respect. In particular, the possibility of a fresh start offered to “any debtor”
undermines the idea of an essentially enforceable bond and marks the demise
of the Civil Code obligation as the prototype of market relations
Nanocrystalline TiO2 by sol–gel: Characterisation and photocatalytic activity on Modica and Comiso stones
No full textA self-cleaning photocatalytic coating for limestone materials, based on TiO2 nanoparticles obtained by the sol–gel process has been studied. TiO2 sol was applied directly to the surface or after a SiO2 intermediate layer. The selected test materials are the Modica and the Comiso calcarenites, limestones of Ragusa Formation outcropping in the South Eastern Sicily (Italy).
SEM–EDS, XRD and Raman investigations were carried out to characterise the TiO2 nanoparticles and coating. Nanocrystalline anatase and, to a lesser extent, brookite forms are obtained. To evaluate the harmlessness of the treatment, colorimetric tests, water absorption by capillarity and crystallisation of salts measurements were performed.
Photocatalytic activity of the TiO2 colloidal suspension and of the coatings (TiO2 and SiO2/TiO2) was assessed under UV irradiation through methyl orange dye degradation tests.
The results show good photodegradation activity and satisfactory compatibility between the sol and the surface of the investigated limestones
Technical and Economic Efficiency of Vine Pruning: Results of Experimental Trials of Some Cultivars of Grapevine Grown in Sicily and Determination of Break-even Point
No full textThe research presents the results carried out on Sicilian viticulture in order to study the economic
sustainability of the agricultural company. In particular, the author examined the operation of dry pruning and tying
of the fruiting head in espalier vineyards with tools that facilitate the work. The economic analysis highlights that
equipping yourself with mechanical tools that facilitate work is convenient for both large and small wineries. The results
of the research highlight that the investment to facilitate pruning and tying in Guyot-trained vineyards can also be made
by wine-growing companies and is increasingly convenient as the area under vines involved increases
