Introduzione

I numerosi studi sul lessico politico, sulla grammatica liturgica e sull’iconografia religiosa hanno messo in luce il ruolo decisivo di alcune figure della santità cattolica che hanno popolato l’universo celebrativo emerso nei processi di nation-building e di integrazione delle masse nello Stato. In questo panorama, spicca il caso di Francesco d’Assisi la cui figura ha subìto nel corso della storia una serie di innumerevoli «metamorfosi» culturali che hanno trasformato l’Assisiate in un pers...

Brillouin spectroscopy of natural and chemically complex volcanic glasses: The role of divalent cations

This work investigates using Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy the relationship between chemistry and longitudinal (or pressure) sound-wave propagation on a large dataset of alkaline to sub-alkaline silicate glasses. Results show that the frequency fB of the Brillouin peak decreases with the silica content and the Silica vs. Calcia - Ferrous oxide - Magnesia (SCFM) parameter, while it increases with the degree of polymerization expressed by the ratio of nonbridging oxygens to tetr...

“UNA DIVERSA IDEA DEL DIRITTO”. A MARGINE DI UNO STUDIO SULLE REGULAE IURIS

Moving from the monograph of Silvia Niccolai on the tradition of the regulae iuris (legal maxims), the author investigates the establishment of principles of law as a legal category in 1920s Italy and the contribution of Giambattista Vico to the relationships between law and politics.
