The aim of this thesis is to show the current Italian authors work specifics who are asserted as journalists as well as writers and their journalistic and prosaic outputs is devoted to organized crime in today's Sicilian society. Roberto Alajmo, Gaetano Savatteri and Salvo Sottile and their literaty outputs È stato il figlio, Tempo Niente. La breve vita felice di Luca Crescente, Gli uomini che non si voltano, I ragazzi di Regalpetra, Maqeda and Più scuro di mezzanotte were chosen for an analysis. The criterion in choosing works was particularly a time span of its formation - for the first time they were published after 2005 and at the same time they are mostly the newest literary outputs of selected authors meeting the requirements. Particular authors are presented after an opening which is describing logical interrelationship between writers and journalists in history of Italian literature ever since the unification of Italy in 1870 and deals with history of Sicilian Mafia and Sicilian literature concerning a phenomenon of Mafia. Part of the following analytic section is devoted to work of particular writers-journalists. Emphasis is put on analysis of prosaic texts considering authors journalistic outputs. Watched is particularly a thematic line of their work and a possible reflection of events...

Esta tesis presenta los puntos de vista sobre la vida, los paisajes y los territorios de Amazonía formulados por tres viajeros europeos en el Perú del siglo XIX: Giuseppe Castrucci, Gaetano Osculati y Antonio Raimondi. En este trabajo se muestra como construyeron un imaginario sobre un mundo amazónico exótico a través de la producción textual y visual de sus viajes y que cumple un rol importante la noción de lo “pintoresco”. Se trata de tres representaciones relevantes porque amplios públicos europeos conocieron la región a través sus relatos, grabados, acuarelas y mapas. No obstante, a pesar del común fondo exotista, los tres viajeros también expresaron intereses y enfoques distintos en sus aproximaciones a la Amazonía como objeto de estudio. En el caso de Castrucci, su obra se enfocó en describir a los pobladores del oriente peruano y sus costumbres, que consideraba salvajes e incivilizadas. Osculati, por su lado, se interesó en explorar locaciones nuevas y exóticas, a la vez que perseguía ser reconocido en el ámbito científico como un expedicionario nacionalista. Finalmente, Raimondi trató de informar al público, a las autoridades y al mundo científico sobre las potencialidad de la región oriental para impulsar el desarrollo del país. Estas tres empresas científicas ocurrieron en un contexto muy específico del siglo XIX: el creciente nacionalismo y el del trabajo científico prestigios que se fundaba en la organización de exposiciones y gabinetes, y en la formación de asociaciones y colecciones científicas. / This thesis presents Giuseppe Castrucci, Gaetano Osculati and Antonio Raimondi’s approaches to the life, landscapes, and territory of the Amazon region. They were European travelers working in Peru during the 19th Century. My research shows how they produce an imaginary about an exotic Amazonian world through their traveler’s textual and visual productions. They were relevant because of their stories, engravings, watercolors, and maps were known and praised as real portraits of Peruvian wild nature by European public. Although Castrucci, Osculati, and Raimondi share a common exotifying point of view, they also expressed different emphasis and interests on their approaches to the Amazon region as an object of inquiry. In the case of Castrucci, he focused on depicting Amazon’s peoples and customs, that he considered savage and uncivilized. Osculati, in the other hand, was interested in exploring new and exotic places pursuing scientific recognition as a nationalist expeditionary. Finally, Raimondi wanted to inform the public, authorities, and the scientific world about the Amazonian region’s potential to boost Peruvian development. These three travelers’ endeavors flourished in a very specific 19th century context: the growing nationalism that included the use of science to gain prestige through exhibitions, cabinets, scientific associations, and scientific collections.

The purpose of this research is to analyze representations of Queen Elizabeth I of England in nineteenth-century Franco-Italian opera, and the relationship of these representations to contemporaneous singing style and the historical background. The basis for this analysis is three arias: "Quant'é grato all'alma mia" from Elisabetta, regina d'Inghilterra (1815) by Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868), "Sì, vuol di Francia il rege...Ah! quando all'ara scorgemi...Ah! dal ciel discenda un raggio" from Maria Stuarda (1835) by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848), and "Malgré l'éclat qui m'environne" from Le songe d'une nuit d'été (1850) by Ambroise Thomas (1811-1896). This research is divided into two main sections: the historical background of Italy and France in the nineteenth century, especially in the contemporaneous vocal style and fashions of literature; and a discussion of the composers' musical and dramatic choices for Queen Elizabeth I in the three selected arias. Chapter 2 is a brief introduction to the early nineteenth-century Franco-Italian historical background, vocal style, and popular literature. Chapter 3 presents an analysis of the three arias. The last chapter summarizes the representations of Elizabeth I in nineteenth-century politics, literature, and vocal style.

This thesis explores the relationship between the many literary texts referring to the deaths of Ugo d'Este and Parisina Malatesta, who were executed in Ferrara in 1425 in accordance with an order by Niccolò III d'Este after he discovered their incestuous relationship. The texts are divided in three categories: (1) the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian novellas and their translations; (2) the seventeenth-century Spanish tragedy; and (3) the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Romantic works. Although these categories divide the various texts chronologically, they also represent a thematic grouping as the texts within each category share common themes that set them apart from those in the other groups. While the various texts all tell the same story, each approaches the tragedy slightly differently based largely on the audience for which it was intended. Thus, the time and place of each text greatly affects its telling. Still, the fact that substantial differences exist between texts that were produced in both geographic and temporal proximity suggests that these are not all-determining factors. Although scholarship exists analyzing individual texts, a comprehensive study of the literary accounts relating to the tragedy has never been undertaken. Rather than detracting from the story, the differences put forth in each of the literary texts enrich the global reading experience by offering many perspectives on the tragedy. In addition, these differences influence how the reader reacts to each of the other texts. Familiarity with one version of the story changes the way a reader approaches the others. A parallel reading of the different versions of the story also shows the power culture has on interpretation. Texts referring to a singular event from one time and place sharply contrast with those that are the product of other circumstances.
