I disegni inediti di Domenico Cirillo nella Società dei Naturalisti in Napoli
Dal riordinamento dell’Archivio della Società dei Naturalisti in Napoli riappaiono, dopo duecentoventi anni, alcuni disegni di insetti e piante di Domenico Cirillo (1739-1799), fortunosamente scampati alla furia dei sanfedisti quando saccheggiarono e distrussero la sua casa. Si trovavano confusi fra le carte del suo discepolo e amico Filippo Cavolini (1756-1810). Studiati con cura in questo volume, vengono per la prima volta resi noti agli studiosi e agli ammiratori del grande medico e naturalista, morto per i suoi ideali di giustizia e per il rinnovamento della società di antico regime. Arricchiscono il volume, oltre a contributi che documentano i contatti che Cirillo ebbe con artisti e tipografi, informazioni sui costi che sostenne per la pubblicazione dei suoi libri, a cui si aggiunge la storia occorsa alla carte manoscritte di Filippo Cavolini e della famiglia De Mellis, che confluirono nella Società dei Naturalisti.

Naples: the City of the Sun and Parthenope: the role of astronomy, mythology and Pythagoras in the urban planning of Neapolis
This essay delves into the most intimate secret of Naples through an archaeoastronomical inquiry. It demonstrates that religious and philosophical motivations were central to the urban planning of its ancient Greek centre, Neapolis, constructed in the 6th- 5th centuries BC by Cumaeans and other Greek colonists. The design of the city's streets and its distinctive geographical-astronomical orientation evoked the cults of Apollo (the Greek Sun-god) and Parthenope (the local Numen, who reminds the mythical Sibyl of Cumae) on solstices and equinoxes. Neapolis' street grid was also inspired by Pythagorean cosmology, as it was designed with golden ratio and decagonal proportions. These elements combined to make Neapolis a perfect microcosm, or better yet, a temple-city centred on the cult of the Sun and Parthenope. Finally, the city’s religious traditions likely increased the public impact of the martyrdom of Saint Januarius, facilitating the Christianization of Naples in the 4th century AD. Naples’ ancient streets, culture, and Cathedral still preserve the legacy of Neapolis' solar traditions in their geometries, symbols, hymns, sweets, mosaics, and relics
