La nozione di sovranità fra Bartolo e i moderni. riflessioni di un costituzionalista
No full texthe Author seeks to demonstrate that Bartolo da Sassoferrato, a cele-
brated Italian jurist of the Middle Age, anticipated notions and cathegories that
will become common in modern times. ‘Sovereignty’ is perhaps the most im-
portant of these cathegories, although a strong effort is needed to contextualize
the use of such word in Bartolo’s thought. The paper attempts to show that such
effort is required even with respect to the question of how Bartolo distinguished
the exertion of power according of whether it amounted to a tyrannical use
Sulle orme di Lorenzo Valla: una rilettura del trattato 'De insigniis et armis' di Bartolo
No full textNegli ultimi anni della sua vita Bartolo ha scritto alcuni trattati, i quali rappresentano una novità importante: con il tractatus il giurista di Sassoferrato offre un panorama ordinato e completo su un istituto giuridico, molto utile alla prassi. Tra quei trattati, il De insigniis et armis (pubblicato postumo nel 1358) ha un posto particolare; in esso Bartolo si occupa dei segni di riconoscimento (dagli stemmi gentilizi ai segni distintivi in campo industriale e commerciale), ricondotti ad una categoria unitaria, con una visione rigorosamente tecnico-giuridica. Come proposto dagli editori moderni dell’opera, è molto probabile che il trattato, non finito, sia stato completato dal genero di Bartolo, Nicola Alessandri, dopo la sua morte. Nicola è autore della seconda parte, non giuridica; essa consiste invece in un vero e proprio trattato di araldica. Quando Lorenzo Valla ha criticato aspramente l’opera nella sua Epistola contra Bartolum (Pavia, 1433), in realtà si è dunque scagliato – inconsapevolmente – contro pagine di cui Bartolo non era l’autore.
At the end of his life, Bartolo wrote some essays which introduced a relevant innovation: with the tractatus the Jurist from Sassoferrato offers a well-ordered and complete panorama over a legal institution, very useful for the medieval practice. Among his various essays, a special place can be given to the Tract on Insignia and Coats of Arms (published posthumously in 1358). Here Bartolo deals with different hallmarks (such as the coats of arms, the insignia of the noble households, the merchant and artisan signs and trademarks), including them in a unitary category, within a strictly legal perspective. As suggested by modern editors of the work, it is very probable that the work, left unfinished, was completed after Bartolo’s death by his son-in-law, Nicola Alessandri. Indeed, Nicola is the author of the second part of the work which does not include legal contents, but offers a veritable work on heraldry. Therefore, the harsh critics expressed against the work by Lorenzo Valla in his Epistola contra Bartolum (Pavia, 1433) were in fact addressed, without knowing it, to a section of the text which Bartolo did not compose
Data Protection Issues in Transnational Financial-Economic Investigations
No full textThe flow of information between OLAF and national judicial authorities is a crucial instrument in fi ghting offences against the EU budget. The information has to be channelled in a two-way flow: from EU institutions to national administrative or judicial authorities and vice versa.The sharing of information is key to building an integrated system of investigation, because on one hand it allows EU institutions to protect EU interests throughout Europe, and on the other hand it allows the national authorities to conduct investigations successfully even when they involve more than one Member State. In such a system, information sharing is the ultimate target of the European institutions that are charged with fighting economic offences. In this work the author analyzes if this target is consistant with the privacy demand of the individuals in the EU
Genetic Data Retention and the Italian Discipline of Acquittal: Database Improvement and the Fundamental Rights of Individual
No full textThis paper analyses how DNA sampling and genetic data retention can
affect the fundamental rights of the individual. In particular, the author tries to focus
on the data deletion in the discipline of the DNA database. In fact, the Italian legal
discipline of the acquittal interacts with the regulation of data deletion, with the
consequence that individual fundamental rights (i.e. the presumption of innocence,
the principle of criminal responsibility based on illicit facts and not on personal
qualities and the principle of equality) can be jeopardized by the retention of the
genetic profiles in the DNA database
The development of X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) spectroscopic techniques for mineralogical and petrological applications
No full textThis thesis investigates the use of X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (XEOL) and Time
Resolved X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (TR XEOL) within the Earth sciences. The
project contains two primary objectives, the first of which is the design and building of a high-resolution luminescence spectroscopy facility. This includes the installation and
commissioning of the facility on the I18 microfocus beamline at Diamond, the UK's
national synchrotron facility. In describing the system's design and commissioning, I
explore many implications of the technique.
The second objective is using this new facility to investigate a suite of minerals to develop new analytical techniques utilizing XEOL and TR XEOL spectroscopy for
applications within the Earth sciences. An aspect of this investigation is to explore the potential of Time Resolved Optically Derived X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (TR OD XAS) of substitute trace elements in minerals. To date CW OD XAS has been shown to have very limited application within the Earth sciences. (Soderholm et al., 1998-120) The thesis explores differences between photoluminescence (PL) and XEOL responses in
mineral systems, and investigates how these differences can be exploited.
Luminescence, the phenomenon upon which the thesis is based, is a complex and poorly
utilised phenomena within Earth sciences, it is however, orders of magnitude more
sensitive, than many of the more accepted techniques used for the detection of trace
elements, on this basis alone I would suggest it deserves further consideration.
Luminescence techniques have developed much further in other disciplines; I therefore
have incorporated many descriptions, models, and interpretations from other disciplines in order to identify methodologies and techniques that have the potential to be utilized in the study and interpretation of luminescence within the Earth sciences.
The thesis demonstrates that luminescence in minerals with measured lifetimes, as fast
as ~ 20 ps exist. Previously the recorded luminescent lifetimes, for minerals, in the
literature are measured in ns. This finding leads to the novel concept that the
measurement of TR XEOL with ps resolution combined with the measurement of the
intensity of a luminescent signal as a function of excitation can provide significant new insights into the nature of the emission and the luminescent processes. I explore and demonstrate the potential of using dose dependence techniques of continuous wave and TR XEOL as a new analytical technique.
I also demonstrate the use of a technique used extensively within Biology has an
application with Earth sciences. The methodology incorporates the calculation of the natural lifetime of an emission through the relationship between the absorption and
emission coefficients. (Strickler and Berg, 1962). I discuss how knowledge of the natural
lifetime of an emission allows quantification of luminescence through measurement of a modified lifetime of emission. The quantification of a luminescent emission has significant potential within the geosciences one example being the identification of disputed emissions. I also consider the potential to use TR XEOL techniques in mapping
complex heterogeneous rocks and minerals
Bartolo Cattafi e le sue «isole lontane»
No full textGreat traveller and tireless observer, the Sicilian poet and writer Bartolo Cattafi was trying to escape from his land for his whole life, which was conducted paradoxically autour de sa chambre, but also travelling through islands and continents, where he found inspiration for his poetry and prose. For this reason, his literary contribution, which never betrayed his poetic nature and reporter character, gives an added value to the modern ulyssic dimension. The latter considers travelling as an essential life step and it is closely related to the concept of attachment to its own land. These two perspectives, often met in his different «isole lontane», define the career of this singular migrant figure. Initially he moves to Milan to fulfil the need to find a job. Later he will find in his own Sicily the harmony and the serenity he has been looking for in the course of his travels.
The writings collected in 2008 and object of this study reveal interesting affinities to those published in the “Mondadori” series edited by his good friend Vittorio Sereni and that explain part of the works belonging to the Sicilian author, clarifying his topoi and obsessions

Éléments d’une définition juridique de l’exil : le Tractatus de bannitis de Bartolo da Sassoferrato (1314-1357)
No full textExil et bannissement, souvent étroitement liés, présentent un évident caractère politique et traversent une grande partie de l’histoire européenne du Moyen Âge à l’époque moderne, jusqu’à marquer aussi des temps qui nous sont plus proches. Vers la moitié du XIVe siècle, le juriste le plus représentatif de la tradition du droit commun, Bartolo da Sassoferrato, consacre au bannissement un Tractatus qui marque, par l’autorité et l’originalité de son auteur, toute la réflexion juridique successive en Italie et ailleurs, grâce entre autres à la très grande diffusion imprimée des œuvres de Bartolo durant le XVIe siècle. Partant de la réflexion élaborée par une tradition doctrinale constituée au cours des siècles, Bartolo refuse de se couler dans une dispute casuistique aussi détaillée que stérile. Il préfère plutôt se concentrer sur l’élaboration de principes qui, s’appuyant sur l’autorité des sources du droit civil et canon, permettent de définir les caractéristiques du banni et de reconnaître la force incontestable, dans les faits, de la peine de bannissement infligée par des cités et des gouvernements locaux, tout en préservant en même temps l’autorité universelle du droit commun qui permet de reconnaître au banni d’une cité tous les droits et devoirs propres aux cives Romani imperii. C’est l’affirmation des États nationaux qui effacera progressivement l’idée d’une civitas capable de se soustraire à un horizon territorial limité, et donc au pouvoir à l’œuvre à l’intérieur de ces limites.L’esilio e il bando, spesso strettamente connessi, presentano un carattere politico evidente e attraversano una lunga parte della storia europea dal Medioevo all’età moderna, fino a segnare tempi a noi più vicini. Verso la metà del XIV secolo il giurista più rappresentativo della tradizione del diritto comune, Bartolo da Sassoferrato, dedica un Tractatus al bando che, data l’autorità e l’originalità dell’autore, lascia un segno su tutta la riflessione giuridica successiva, in Italia e altrove, grazie tra l’altro alla larga diffusione a stampa delle opere di Bartolo durante il XVI secolo. Sulla base di una riflessione elaborata da una tradizione dottrinale plurisecolare, Bartolo rifiuta di conformarsi ad una disputa casistica tanto sterile quanto dettagliata. Preferisce piuttosto concentrarsi sull’elaborazione di principi fondati sull’autorità delle fonti del diritto civile e canonico, che permettono di definire le caratteristiche del bandito e di riconoscere nei fatti la forza indiscutibile della pena di bando inflitta dalle città e dai governi locali, pur preservando al tempo stesso l’autorità universale del diritto comune che permette di riconoscere al bandito di una città tutti i diritti e doveri propri dei cives Romani imperii. Con l’affermazione degli Stati nazionali verrà cancellata progressivamente l’idea di una civitas capace di sottrarsi all’orizzonte territoriale delimitato, e quindi al potere esercitato all’interno di questi limiti.Exile and banishment, often closely linked, show an evident political character and they endured through a long period of European history, from the Middle Ages to the modern era, leaving a trace in times even closer to our days. Around the middle of the 14th century, the most representative jurist of the tradition of common law, Bartolo da Sassoferrato, devotes a Tractatus to banishment. Given the authority and originality of the author, the text will mark the entire juridical reflection that follows in Italy and elsewhere, in particular thanks to the broad diffusion of Bartolo’s printed texts in the 16th century. Starting from a reflection that stems from the doctrinal tradition developed over the centuries, the author refuses to conform to a casuistic dispute that would be so detailed as to become sterile. He prefers to focus on elaborating principles that builds on the authority of the sources of common and civil law. These allow to define the characteristics of a banished citizen and to recognize in fact the unquestionable power of banishment as a penalty inflicted by the cities and local governments, while preserving the universal authority of the common law that allows, concurrently, to recognize to the banished citizen of a city all the rights and the duties enjoyed by the cives Romani imperii. With the rise of the national states, the idea of a civitas able to escape the boundaries of a territory and the power exercised within those boundaries will be progressively erased
