Title: SPOLIA SICULA - spoliazione e reimpiego in Sicilia
Year: 2022
Publication: Arbor Sapientiae
Abstract: The phenomenon of the reuse of ancient architectural elements in Sicily, although it manifests itself with different results, runs through all periods, with geographical and chronological densities strongly dependent on the historical-political and socio-economic framework of each period. Analysing the practice on the basis of material data arranged diachronically reveals a lower incidence of reuse in the early Middle Ages, for which evidence is lacking, and a sharply higher number of cases in the late Middle Ages, coinciding with Norman rule. Highly symbolic places in cities of the first importance display spolia resulting from searches and choices made even outside the island – clearly not without a precise intention, namely to link the crown to romanitas and to the papacy. In the following periods, although decreasing in proportion, reuse persists in civil and religious architecture, especially through the presence of columns, to the point of merging with the not always regular, and sometimes bizarre, pattern of collecting, whose main purpose was the display of antiquity.
