In light of the ends. Copyright hysteresis and private copy exception after the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and oth…
2015
In British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA) and others v Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, the High Court of Justice in matter of private copy exception provides the twofold prime opportunity to shed light on the state of the art of copyright in the UK and to flesh out the idea of 'legal hysteresis’. I support the reintroduction of the private copy exception, possibly in a less narrow fashion, and I explain the reasons why I am confident that my expectations will be fulfilled.
Il canto e la memoria
2017
Il saggio prende le mosse dalle due "Canzoni natalizie etnee trascritte dalla memoria per 11 strumenti" op. 49 (1982-83) di Francesco Pennisi, analizzando la genesi, i retroscena autobiografici e i dettagli della struttura compositiva dei brani.

Mitteleuropa oltre il mito. Rinuncia, nostalgia, il caso Moor

As Milan Kundera wrote in 1983, at end of WWII the civil frame of Central Europe disappeared, and only the idea of a cultural community survived for a long time. On the one hand, the "nostalgia" of Mitteleuropa, and the new policy after the…

OVERTURE Love Love is a Pink Cake or Queering Chopin in Times of Homophobia
2021
An introduction to the three essays included in this section. The article highlights the right to know whether Chopin was gay and contextualizes this inquiry in a very long and pervasive historiographical tradition, essentially twohundred years long, dedicated to examine Chopin sexual orientation, on the one hand, and on the other the more recent tradition of queering western classical music composers. The main point is not to demonstrate categorically that Chopin was ?gay? (a relative, modern identity marker in any case) but rather to highlight the discourses that have presented him as unequivocally heterosexual.
