THE PATH OF THE HOLY GRAIL
This book is not so much an addition to the long bibliography already existing on the subject, but rather an examination of a particular element, already present in the literary tradition of the Grail: the arrival of the Marys in the south of France and the subsequent journey of Joseph of Arimathea to Glastonbury, Wales, Great Britain. My intention is to focus, among the many themes of the Grail, mainly on the “path of the Holy Grail”, that is, the journey of the Marys from Palestine to their arrival in Provence, in the south of France, as told by Jacopo da Varazze, or Varagine, (1228-1298) and before him by Rabanus Maurus (776-856). Joseph of Arimathea is also mentioned as part of the group that, starting from the south of France, founded the first church in Great Britain, on the plain of Glastonbury, another extraordinary place with very strong ties to the Grail and the Arthurian cycle. Some of the main characters, such as Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea, have been represented in a comparative way, using the canonical and apocryphal gospels and some codices and documents found at Qumran.

It argues that this attack was a symptom of the geopolitical tensions in Italy and Europe in that decade.
Il Percorso del Santo Graal
Il libro si propone come una sintesi dei principali temi legati al Graal e parte dal viaggio di Maria Maddalena e altri che dalla Palestina giunsero a Saintes Maries de la Mer, Provenza, Francia meridionale. Da quì si spostarono a Marsiglia e in tutta la Provenza; Giuseppe d’Arimatea dal Sud della Francia giunse a Glastonbury, nel Somerset, sud-est dell’attuale Inghilterra. Nel testo si presentano Giuseppe d’Arimatea, Maria Maddalena, la figura di Giacomo, anche attraverso una comparazione tra i Vangeli canonici e i Vangeli apocrifi. Il testo si compone di appunti, citazioni, immagini originali e spunti tali da indurre il lettore ad ulteriori ricerche. Secondo Jacopo da Varazze (1228-...
The Cinema of Francesco Rosi
Francesco Rosi is one of the great realist artists of post-war Italian, indeed post-war world cinema. In this book, author Gaetana Marrone explores the rich visual language in which the Neapolitan filmmaker expresses the cultural icons that constitute his style and images. Over the years, Rosi has offered us films that trace an intricate path between the real and the fictive, the factual and the imagined. His films show an extraordinarily consistent formal balance while representing historical events as social emblems that examine, shape, and reflect the national self. They rely on a labyrinthine narrative structure, in which the sense of an enigma replaces the unidirectional path leading in...
