In the first half of the Nineteenth Century there was particular interest in the biography of Giambattista Vico. Francesco Lomonaco with his Lives of the Excellent Italians was the first to contribute to the interest for the Neapolitan philosopher understood as an ethical model to follow. Few years later, between 1820 and 1854, three theatrical texts dedicated to the life of the Neapolitan philosopher were published: the Comedy Giambattista Vico by Giulio Genoino (Naples, 1820), the Drama Giambattista Vico by the Ligurian Domenico Buffa (1854), and Giambattista Vico. Original Italian comedy by Giovanni Carlo Cosenza (Naples, 1854) lost. The essay focuses on Buffa's work and his contribution to the diffusion of Vico’s thought.

Nauaghía naufragium is the score of an oratorio composed between 2020 and 2023. The text represents the first part of the author's poem of the same name published in 2021 by Ets (Pisa). With this work, an attempt is made to “show” in their typical traits (typical because they are repeated) certain forms of suffering and harassment suffered by the migrants of our time. The title, expressed in the idioms of the two ancient Greek and Latin cultures, allusively combines the shipwreck of migrants with that of Europe in the face of the epoch-making phenomenon of migration.
