    Virgilio e l’esperienza tragica. Pensieri fuori moda sul libro IV dell’Eneide
    (2006-08-23T07:27:37Z)
    The new ‘sentimental’ character of Virgil’s epic poetry is manifest in a special way in the fourth book of the Aeneid. The reader is implicated by the events so that they acquire for him a 'tragic' value which transcends their needs within the epic narration. The fourth book, moreover, is endowed with a certain autonomy within the story, being strongly oriented towards a tragic climax in which the correlation between sentimental characters, author and reader is at its strongest. This mingling of energies ensures the individual 'plasticity' of the Virgilian text, a text which in itself is clear and active, and requires a 'mimetic' reading rather than a coldly intellectual one, as stated in part of the modern scholarship on this subject.

    Tua, Maecenas, haud mollia iussa. Materiali e appunti per la storia di un topos proemiale
    (2006-08-23T07:24:43Z)
    The paper takes a stand on the famous Virgilian expression haud mollia iussa, Virg. Geor. 3, 41. Many scholars and readers, even in recent times, understand the meaning of iussa in this passage to correspond to 'call' rather than 'order'. But after comparing this passage with other occurrences of the term in Virgil, and after a reconnaissance of loci similes in other authors, the canonical meaning of the word appears to be confirmed. The 'orders' of Maecenas, however, are more closely approximated by the orders with which the divine Musa urges the poet, rather than a simple 'human' order.

    Gioco di specchi (tra Lucilio e Persio)
    (2006-08-23T07:19:22Z)
    This paper seeks to reconstruct and interpret certain passages of Lucilius and Persius, ultimately allowing them to shed light on one another. In the context of the polemic against the abuses of the tragic poets, a series of fragments of Lucilius corresponds to the Persius’ famous attack against the same target in his first satire (vv. 69 ff.). If the exchanges between author and ‘enemy’ are restored in a manner which differs from the canonical one, this texts allows us to retrieve the position of Lucilius, explained by these fragments which until now were located in his twenty-fourth book.

    Echi polemici in Plauto
    (2006-08-23T07:16:47Z)
    With the publication of the unpublished work La cosiddetta contaminazione nell’antica commedia Romana by Pietro Ferrarino, classical philology not only recovers a document of great importance for the history of classical studies, but also greatly benefits from the wealth of the author’s ongoing considerations. From these we derive the opportunity to reconsider the controversial character widely recognized not only, of course, in the prologue of Terence, but also in many Plautine prologues.

    Hofmannsthal ‘contaminatore’?
    (2006-08-23T07:15:29Z)
    By analogy with the ancient concept, one can also define 'contamination' as transformation of classical models operated by dramatists of the twentieth century; this practice, of course, inevitably involves changing the terms of the relationship with the 'past'. Hofmannsthal was, in this, a master and a paradigm: especially in his Elektra, in his Ägyptische Helena and his Ariadne auf Naxos, he not only contaminated various ancient texts, but filtered his ancient models through some central aspects of modern theater and contemporary culture.
