La Vestale 'incesta'
No full textMarcello Salvadore: La Vestale incesta.
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Pliny the Younger and Plutarch are the sources
of a detailed account of Vestalis incesta’s punishment: they say that she was
sentenced to death. Dionysius adds that there was no after death ritual.
Modern scholars generally accept what the three authors assert. In this article
the author surmises that the Vestalis incesta, together with the parricida, was
not condemned to death: both of them were sentenced to a particular kind
of banishment from the Society
De Lope a Celano: la adaptación italiana de "Los tres diamantes"
No full textAbstract
This paper explores an Italian adaptation of Lope de Vega’s play Los tres diamantes, written in the
second part of the seventeenth century. Its author, Carlo Celano, was a famous writer of opere regie,
i.e., adaptations of Spanish comedies of situation. The analysis focuses on the way in which the
adaptation of the Aristotelian units of space and time leads to a reduction of the characters and a
simplification of the situation, although this is compensated by enriching its ludic component. This
last trait can be also observed in a previous re-elaboration of Lope’s comedy, the scenario of the
Commedia dell’arte titled Il cavaliere dai tre gigli d’oro

Experimental investigation of a physical basis of a new integrity assessment procedure for ductile cast iron
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALENella presente ricerca è stato studiato un metodo innovativo per la valutazione dell'integrità strutturale, basato sull'approccio dell'equazione di Voce, di ghise duttili convenzionali GJS400. Tale metodo di analisi è stato sviluppato a partire dalla modellazione delle curve di flusso plastico attraverso l'equazione costitutiva di Voce e permette lo studio della deformazione plastica dei materiali. Altro obiettivo della ricerca è stato valutare l'affidabilità di questo metodo studiando l’evoluzione del danno che consiste nell'analisi della variazione del modulo di Young E durante la deformazione. Questo metodo potrebbe essere utilizzato per valutare l'integrità strutturale al procedere della deformazione poiché si assume che la riduzione di E con la deformazione sia proporzionale alla riduzione dell'area efficace resistente alla propagazione della cricca. L’ipotesi è che minore è l’integrità del materiale, maggiore è la riduzione del modulo di Young con la deformazione. Quindi, lo studio di E vs. deformazione è stato usato per supportare la bontà del approccio MAD nella valutazione dell’integrità strutturale del materiale.
Test meccanici, i.e. prove di trazione con velocità di deformazione di 10-4 s-1 impostate in modo da applicare una serie di carichi e scarichi in successione al procedere della deformazione plastica, sono stati usati su diversi campioni di ghisa duttile prodotti utilizzando una staffa Lynchburg con diametro di 25mm, staffe a Y con uno spessore di 25-50-75mm e con elevato spessore al fine di studiare la relazione tra l’incrudimento e le diverse velocità di raffreddamento, cioè con le diverse microstrutture risultanti.
In accordo all'analisi di Voce, in particolare definendo il MAD, si può affermare che il test di carico-scarico usato per valutare l'evoluzione di E vs. deformazione non ha influenzato il comportamento di incrudimento dei materiali analizzati. Secondo i risultati ottenuti, il MAD permette di identificare univocamente materiali che presentano diversa composizione chimica e prodotti seguendo percorsi di produzione differenti. Inoltre, questo metodo è stato in grado di identificare e valutare in modo univoco l'integrità dei materiali. D'altra parte, confrontando i risultati dell'analisi microstrutturale e quelli dell’approccio dell’evoluzione del danno, è emerso che quest'ultimo è un metodo inaffidabile per una valutazione dell'integrità strutturale. Quindi, lo studio di E vs. deformazione non può essere usato a supporto della bontà dell’approccio MAD nel valutare l’integrità dei materialiIn the present research an innovative structural integrity assessment method, based on Voce equation approach, was studied using conventional ductile cast irons GJS400. This method of analysis was developed starting from the modeling of the tensile plastic flow curves, through the constitutive equation of Voce and involves the study of the strain hardening behavior. A second focus of the present work was to evaluate the reliability of this method through investigating the evolution damage approach that consists of the analysis of the variation of Young modulus during straining. This method could be used to evaluate the original structural integrity of the materials, as the reduction of Young modulus with straining is expected to be proportional to the reduction of the effective resisting area to a crack propagation. The hypothesis was that the lower the original integrity of materials, the larger the Young modulus reduction during straining. So, the Young modulus vs. strain investigation was used to support the goodness of the MAD approach to assess the integrity of materials.
Mechanical tests, i.e. tensile tests with a strain rate of 10-4 s-1 set in such a way as to apply a series of subsequent loading and unloading as the plastic deformation proceeds, were applied to a different nodular cast iron samples produced through Lynchburg molds with a diameter of 25mm and Y-molds with a thickness of 25-50-75mm, and in heavy-section to study the strain hardening behavior relationship with a wide range of cooling rates and so different microstructures.
According to the Voce analysis carried out, particularly by defining the MAD, it was possible to assert that the loading-unloading test applied to evaluate the E evolution vs. strain had not affected the strain hardening behavior. According to the results, MAD allowed to unambiguously identify the materials with different chemical composition and production routes. Furthermore, this method was capable of univocally identify and assess the integrity of the materials. On the other hand, comparing the results of microstructural analysis with those of the evolution of damage approach, it appeared that the latter method is not reliable for an integrity assessment of the material. So, unfortunately, the E vs. strain investigation could not be used to support the goodness of the MAD approach to assess the integrity of material
The Pragmatics of Literature
No full textThis translation of the work of one of the founding fathers of literary structuralism and semiotics in Italy is a timely introduction to the theoretical study of literary communication. Marcello Pagnini is a leading figure in the post-structuralist endeavor to return the text to something resembling its social matrix. He explores not only the dynamics of the author/reader rapport but also the connections between the literary text and its sociocultural and historical contexts
Sulla presenza di Cipriano nel “De aleatoribus”
No full textIn ps.cyprianic De aleatoribus the whole way of composing shows
a deep assimilation of Cyprian’s model by the anonymous author.
The similarities attract attention for their evidence: the main subjects in common, the reference to single words and expressions, the similar structure of several sentences, the same expressions for introducing biblical quotations, the quotation of the same biblical texts too. Everything induces to admit that the anonymous author depends directly on Cyprian

Art, ritual, and reform: the acrchconfraternity of the Holy Crucifix of San Marcello in Rome
No full text“Art, Ritual, and Reform” is the first comprehensive study of the social history, devotional practices, and art patronage of the Arciconfraternita del SS. Crocifisso di San Marcello a Roma, one of the most prominent lay religious associations in sixteenth-century Italy. Divided into four main chapters, the dissertation first develops the innovative theory of conspicuous devotion through a documented examination of the company’s religious rituals and urban processions during the Catholic Reformation. The following chapters apply the theory to analyses of the confraternity’s commissions in the Cappella del Crocifisso in San Marcello and the nearby Oratorio del Crocifisso, in which Perino del Vaga (1501–47), Daniele da Volterra (1509–66), Giovanni de’ Vecchi (ca. 1536–1615), Cesare Nebbia (ca. 1536–1614), and Niccolò Circignani (ca. 1517/24–after 1596) painted. Challenging traditional interpretations of Central Italian painting from 1520 to 1590, the object-focused project argues that conspicuous meaning and form served conspicuous devotion to both instruct and inspire, in accordance with the reforms of the Catholic Church. A final chapter explores the archaism of paintings produced by Jacopino del Conte (1510–98) and Marcello Venusti (ca. 1512–79) for Santa Chiara a Monte Cavallo, a Capuchin convent founded by the confraternity on the Quirinal Hill. Reinforcing the assertions of the preceding chapters, the discussion demonstrates the company’s keen art historical, or stylistic, understanding, which enabled it to choose between different artistic modes to suit different subjects and contexts, as required by the Council of Trent (1545–63). Recovering both the variety and the devotional significance of lay festive performance and art patronage in sixteenth-century Rome, this crucial research offers a much needed critical reassessment of art, ritual, and reform in the Catholic Reformation.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Kira Maye Albinsk
