This work aims to re-examine the file about the dames called Berlenda in the troubadour poetry. The first part establishes more firmly the historical traits of one of them, i.e. the wife of Moroello II Malaspina, who is mentioned in a late sirventes (1273). The work then examines the possibility to identify this woman with the other figures of the same name and, specifically, it reviews the decades old hypothesis that she is the same dame celebrated in a planh attributed to Lanfranc Cigala. On the premise that the conjecture about the two women being the same person is acceptable, the work analyses and considers the features of the planh and the existence of a late Ligurian-Venetian tradition, which transmitted the poems of Lanfranc Cigala and Bonifaci Calvo in connection with those of Bertolome Zorzi. The work ends with two new editions of the planh and sirventes, based on the previous observations.

Stucchi e affreschi da una villa dell'agro laurentino, 2017

Between 1997 and 1998, archaeological surveys conducted in the territory of Malafede (loc. Valle Porcina) brought to light an extensive villa, dated to the early imperial age, which preserves a residential quarter and a thermal installation. From the layers formed during the levelling of the structure came painted decorations of good quality and some stucco decorations, dated to the Julio-Claudian period, which are presented here for the first time. These materials increase our knowledge of the decorations in the villas of the territory close to Ostia, and give new elements to define the origin of the decorator’s workshops.*
