Dependency and Social Inequality in Pre-Roman Italy
In the past, most studies on Pre-Roman societies in Italy (1st millennium BCE) focused on the elites, their representation and cultural contacts. The aim of this volume is to look at dependent and marginalized social groups, which are less visible and often even difficult to define (slaves, servants, freedmen, captives, 'foreigners', athletes, women, children etc.). The methodological challenges connected to the study of such heterogeneous and scattered sources are addressed. Is the evidence representative enough for defining different forms of dependencies? Can we rely on written and pictorial sources or do they only reflect Greek and Roman views and iconographic conventions? Which social groups can't be traced in the literary and archaeological record? For the investigation of this topic, we combined historical and epigraphical studies (Greek and Roman literary sources, Etruscan inscriptions) with material culture studies (images, sanctuaries, necropoleis) including anthropological and bioarchaeological methods. These new insights open a new chapter in the study of dependency and social inequality in the societies of Pre-Roman Italy.
Deliciae Fictiles V. Networks and Workshops
Temples are the most prestigious buildings in the urban landscape of ancient Italy, emerging within a network of centres of the then-known Mediterranean world. Notwithstanding the fragmentary condition of the buildings’ remains, these monuments – and especially their richly decorated roofs – are crucial sources of information on the constitution of political, social and craft identities, acting as agents in displaying the meaning of images. The subject of this volume is thematic and includes material from the Eastern Mediterranean (including Greece and Turkey). Contributors discuss the network between patron elites and specialized craft communities that were responsible for the sophist...
Collapse or Survival
In the present-day world order, political disintegration, the faltering of economic systems, the controversial yet dramatic consequences of global warming and pollution, and the spread of poverty and social disruption in Western countries have rendered ‘collapse’ one of the hottest topics in the humanities and social sciences. In the frenetic run for identifying the global causes and large-scale consequences of collapse, however, instances of crisis taking place at the micro-scale are not always explored by scholars addressing these issues in present and past societies, while the ‘voices’ of the marginal/non-élite subjects that might be the main victims of collapse are often silence...

Scientific Method Steps: Archaeology is Not a Job?
I would like to share most of my archaeological adventures and discoveries, by offering a panorama of my career path likely to interest different categories of readers. Each chapter works autonomously and can be read independently from the others. This volume includes publication extracts in French or Spanish, some of them in English, Italian or German. The selection of texts, as well as images that are by the author, reflects the progresses of my investigations and the adopted methods. The introductions to the chapters ensure the connection and cohesion of the whole work. The first part deals with the study of objects, for the mostly part Etruscan vases examined in the main museums in Paris, Rome, the Vatican, Brussels, London, Madrid, Tunisia etc. The second part concerns my excavations and fieldworks in France, Italy, Spain, Western Sahara and Tunisia. The last part brings out the methodological, cultural and interdisciplinary aspects of my career.
Trame e tele
Il libro ci parla delle prigioni dell'anima: subdole, impalpabili, persino accattivanti... di donne e di uomini che cercano di spezzare le catene per recuperare l'originaria ed incompresa libertà di agire nello spazio e per il tempo che è dato vivere. Nel percorso ci accompagna anche lo sguardo creativo e fecondo sull'arte come ambito di conferimento di senso, in continuo divenire. E la fede interviene a dare spessore alla verità delle storie: tiene conto dell'uomo sedotto e schermato dall'errore o dal peccato, fa sentire una presenza dentro una assenza, schiude lo spazio di Dio nell'uomo... I laici cattolici hanno imparato a scrivere. Ed a descriversi. (Anonimo) Un libro di grande origin...
La tomba Bruschi di Tarquinia
La tomba Bruschi di Tarquinia, appartenuta alla gens apunas, risale alla seconda metà del IV secolo a.C. ed è affrescata da una serie di cortei magistratuali che portano ad assimilarla alle tombe del Convegno e del Tifone. Le tormentate vicende seguite alla sua scoperta, nel 1864, hanno condotto alla perdita del corredo ed allo smembramento del contesto iniziale. Il paziente lavoro di Valentina Vincenti ha il merito di aver ricostruito l'unità del sepocro di cui vengono esaminati architettura, pitture, sarcofagi ed iscrizioni, fornendo un'edizione critica, quanto più completa possibile, del monumento. L'opera è completata dall'esame dei documenti d'archivio.
